Pretty much this. I’m ok with getting guys rest but really itching to see everyone in the lineup together.

That's not true. World Series and LCS is 2 games in one ballpark, day off, then 3 games in the other ballpark, then day off.

Vaughn or Eloy in LF with the other DHing. Engel in RF against lefties, probably Goodwin against righties.

The MLBTR article on this mentions that players that are injured on the 40-man roster in the minors can not be place on outright waivers and they can't claimed so the only thing a team can do is release him or add him to the MLB roster only to put him on the MLB IL. It's pretty common for a team to release the player and re-sign him to a minor league (Tyler Johnson just like 10 days ago) where they are not holding down a 40-man spot.

Right. Not enough at bats really.

Wow this is something I didn't even notice. Makes sense since it is started late and rosters aren't expanding as much as they used to.

Huh? Teams do this all the time. I was just reading on MLBTR that an injured minor league player can't be placed on waivers and claimed so it's a pretty normal move to release and re-sign them to a minor league deal. I think Lamb will be here the rest of the way. Hamilton comes back September 1 as one of the extra roster spots but Lamb does not make the playoff roster.

With Gonzalez being hurt for the year, he would probably go unclaimed so I think he would be a good dfa candidate. Or like someone else said, release him and re-sign him to a minor league deal like they did recently with Tyler Johnson.

According to tray, the only righties he should play against are ones that belong in the minors ?

I doubt he can. It's not like he was on the MLB IL.

I don't know but Rutherford blows.

What are we thinking the move is? I'm going to guess Sheets optioned and Rutherford dfa'd.

Yep. Sit Moncada and Abreu a game each this series. Anderson too since he seems due.

At this point it almost feels like they will transfer him to the day 60-day IL to open up a spot on the 40 for Robert and let him take his time coming back.

Giolito vs Burrows That was a fun series over on the North side this past weekend. Let’s keep winning and beat these fucks! Oh, and happy Luis Robert day to all!

The keeper of the unwritten rules would not allow that.

“Jerry’s not going to make decisions based on what’s best for Jerry. Jerry’s gonna make decisions based on what’s best for his ball-club.” Oh, A-Rod.

Ya just hate to see it.

Out of the cornfield.

“Thanks Cubs!”

God damn. The interview from hell continues.

Agreed. They shouldn’t have a problem with leaving him off the roster. Let him chill on bench.

Not exclusively

This DEFINITELY aged well. Seriously, you should be banned for this post lol

Agreed. Makes sense to bench your hottest hitter.
