The Knights transactions page said Popeye was optioned there yesterday, so maybe we'll see him in the lineup tonight. The Sox tweet said he was optioned to Birmingham so not sure what's up.
Jose had a horrible start to the season coming back from a broken hamate. The last month he was more of the player we were accustomed to seeing, an .888 OPS and a 132 wRC+.
I understand the 40man aspect of it, but I think their point was if they literally just wanted to call someone up as a warm body on the bench, why not call up literally anyone else (like Erik Gonzalez or Yolbert) and just DFA them when/if you need the spot? They didn't need to promote him to sit on his ass for a week while he was in a groove at the plate in Birmingham.
