September 25, 20214 yr It is particularly frustrating because he was improving as a hitter as well as being a good defensive outfielder.

September 25, 20214 yr Vaughn plays an adequate RF, which allows Eloy to stay in LF (per his demands of not wanting to DH). So why not go Sheets/Burger at DH, or hell, Sheets/Yermin?

September 25, 20214 yr Engel has not shown he belongs on the playoff squad. His rehab was a disaster.

September 26, 20214 yr Tepera is someone we really need, hopefully he has time to get back to form before the playoffs

So why not go Sheets/Burger at DH, or hell, Sheets/Yermin? Yermin hasn’t played a game in AAA in awhile and his playing time was cut a lot previously. He’s not even on Charlotte’s active roster and is on “temporary inactive list”. Not exactly sure what deal is but I think org has moved on. Edited September 26, 20214 yr by ChiSox59
September 28, 20214 yr Tepera running out of time to get back and knock off the rust. He's a guy we need.

September 30, 20214 yr What is the update on Tepera? Been out 20 days now Edited September 30, 20214 yr by Squirmin' for Yermin

I expected him to be activated within the past few days. Hopefully Friday and we can get him 2 appearances this weekend to knock off the rust.
