Covey with 8 K's over 7 Innings allowing only 1 ER - Engel 3 for 3 with 2 RBI's and a SB. 

I must be asleep and dreaming...

Will be interesting to see how Sox divvy up playing time between Narvaez and Kevan Smith.

I will predict all Narvaez, none for Smith.

Can players appeal PED suspensions? Minor league DL is only 7 days so if Castillo could do that we theoretically could have him available until Smith is back. 

They can, but given that the announcement was that his suspension is starting tmr and that it's not for a steroid --- I'm guessing it's a similar situation to Cano's.  I bet his agent informed this guy to soften the blow.  Probably got popped with a diuretic.

Rondon!

Jose Rondon with first of his career.

Jose oppo jack

 

So much for me making fun of tonight's DH.

What if Covey turned into our Jake Arrieta? That would be both hilarious and remarkable at the same time.

I have never heard of an announcement like this being leaked to the media before it’s officially announced or the player knows about it 

It was reported by someone in the DR, and then came out.

Rondon home run. Today's thrown a lot at us.

Renteria's brilliant for one game, at least.

Jose Rondon as DH, who woulda thunk it coming out of ST?

Geo Soto?? 

One steroid guy for another. Fitting.

Bench him, he ran too hard.

ADAM ENGEL FOUR HIT GAME, TODAY JUST KEEPS COMING AT US

Had you told me their starting DH would hurt his back 2 hours before first pitch, I would have said anything is possible.

The policy reflects the new testing agreement in the CBA -- marijuana is exempt.  Everything else is a no go.

Adam Engel had 20 hits all year before tonight. He has added 4 to that, and about 30 points to his BA.

Thought for sure Engel would be gone soon then he does this..

Yeah but even if he knows he will lose the appeal it would buy us more time for Smith to hopefully get healthy so we don't have to worry about playing Alfredo Gonzalez

Starting to think the Orioles are #bad

Machado may want to join the Sox after this shellacking.  Who wouldn’t want to play with young studs like Adam “4 for 4” Engel and Dylan “8K” Covey?  He might even take less money to avoid future embarrassments like this one.

He is only 26 and has time. He could be a pretty average start

Needs more "Pilates" sessions...

Volstad hasn't even been terrible for us in the DJ Carrasco ® role
