Yeah makes no sense to fit your 28th man on the roster into a starting lineup. Play him later in games or if an injury occurs.

Right? Especially getting Anderson back today and a day off tomorrow ?‍♂️

Tanner Banks is the lefty being referred to here.

So 2 upcoming roster moves will be Pollock to paternity leave (possibly IL if needed after few days) and then Giolito to IL. Who comes up?

Sheets in for Vaughn today.

I’m afraid Tony is going to platoon Sheets and Vaughn.

It looks like he just ran out of room going after it bumping into the wall. Definitely still a play that should have been made though.

Makes sense he’s hitting 9th behind the slap hitters.

There was mention of it yesterday in the Opening Day Roster thread ha

Wow

Yep and the lineup is great against lefties so it kinda worked out.

Same with Josh Harrison.

Yep. Their pitching is great but a couple injuries really hurts them.

Yeah if the report the other day about there being trade interest is true, zero chance he clears waivers.

Hey, it’s opening day!

If they have a dfa candidate of their own they don't mind losing for nothing anyway, a one-for-one swap could work there.

Last April? Try as soon as they announced the next manager haha

Vaughn 8th? Wtf. I'd like Vaughn 6, Burger 7, Leury 8, Harrison 9.

What did he do, slightly hustle down the line again?

Yeah, I guess they would get a couple days to trade him if they DFA him.

Burger, but he also just left with an injury yesterday.

Why wouldn't they?

Not necessarily as both Leury and Harrison play 3B as well.

When does the roster have to be officially set? I assume by the time game starts on Friday. Just trying to figure out how long we have to wait to find out about Micker's fate (trade or dfa).

Yeah the only way Conforto (or another OF) makes sense is if they cut bait with Cabrera.
