Autumn Dreamin

Nice

Best of luck to him

Sounds like Boston could be down Contreras when they visit next week, pending any appeals

For reference, Teel was in Charlotte for 4 games in June after missing almost all of ST and the first 10-12 weeks of the season (aside from his first rehab attempt of 4 games in May before hurting his knee).

Reading that for some reason made me nearly certain Roch is the pick.

Easy 1-2-3 with 2K for McDougal Touching 99 and looking like a better deadline pen add than many names on the market...

Two innings for Shane Smith, 34 pitches. 1 hit (single), no walks, 2K. Touching 97 with the heater.

Groundout, single, K, lineout in the second. He looks healthy.

Sox are already wheels down in Cleveland, so hopefully plenty of time to rest and hydrate ahead of some disgustingly hot/humid projected weather

3U/3D for Smith in the first, but had to throw some extra pitches after a foul tip didn't stick in the glove Apparently it will be Sinbaldi piggybacking first and McDougal out of the pen sometime later Broadcast didn't give specifics on the pitch/inning target for Smith

And Getz has said he wants to keep him here (with an understanding that he's earning a bigger payday). Both sides will try to work something out whether it's this summer or after the season.

Don't feel like it's been particularly silent? They're waiting on him to be running full speed, then they'll decide if they think he needs rehab reps at AAA or not. So almost certainly not tomorrow, though do I lean towards them avoiding a Charlotte stint if they can. A return during the homestand feels right, get him into some winnable games at home and then hopefully come out of the ASB full steam ahead.

Shane Smith for WS, TMcD to follow

It's good to keep stacking series wins and sweeps aren't easy against anyone, but it would have been nice to finish off one of these last 3 opportunities. They have had minimal success in day road games all season (4-14 now), so I guess it's good that 3/4 in Cleveland are at night. Looks like Sox will have a 1 game lead going in, leaving with it still intact would be a job well done in my opinion. TEX at least burning through some extra pen arms even if they don't pull off a comeback.

Good time for one of those extra crooked number innings from the Sox

Unfortunately for the O's, your first place Chicago White Sox have remembered how to win a series on the road! They are at a season high 6 games over .500 and 2 games up on CLE. Second time winning 3 straight series this season (SEA, KC, CHC in May). First series win vs. Baltimore since 2021. They finish their Mune-less June with a 13-12 record, securing back to back winning months after a .500 April. Nice job by Fedde and Schweitzer to preserve the pen. Dean Kremer likely being activated tomorrow for the O's, would be nice to finish the sweep and head to Cleveland with momentum.

Yep, two bases awarded for a ball thrown out of play. Rule 5.06(b)(4)(G) in the handbook if you want to get technical.

Would be interesting to explore if eating some of the remaining money could generate some interest for him. He's been a quality vet, but I agree that it would help the roster construction to free up some lefty DH ABs.
