Lane Thomas is headed to the injured record and the workforce might be changing him. However, nobody is aware of but who that alternative might be.
Each participant on the 40-man roster in Columbus performed in tonight’s Clippers’ sport:
Brayan Rocchio, David Fry, Petey Halpin, and Johnathan Rodriguez all performed (all additionally obtained hits).
Fan darlings CJ Kayfus and Chase DeLauter additionally performed.
On the Selby is GodCast Discord, the Athletic’s Zack Meisel stated he could be “shocked” if it was Will Brennan, as he doesn’t appear to assume Brennan is prepared but.
I feel it’s seemingly the choice to IL Lane Thomas was late, proper earlier than the sport, and the choice makers need to have one final assembly of the minds earlier than the ultimate choice is made, so Andy Tracy, Columbus’s supervisor was advised to proceed along with his lineup plans as regular. There’s loads of time for a Clippers participant to sleep in their very own mattress and rise up and make a 3 hour drive to Cleveland tomorrow.
So, who will or not it’s? If I depend on Meisel, which appears proper and good, I cross Brennan off the record. Brennan wasn’t hitting effectively, so he most likely wants just a few rehab AB’s in Columbus, anyway, when he does return.
Doesn’t make sense to convey Rocchio again when Wilson is doing effectively within the part-time function who hits LHP spot, except they need to transfer Arias again to second base and Schneemann to proper discipline (please, Lord, no). Rocchio ought to change Arias if and when the time comes for the workforce to maneuver him right into a extra part-time function, if he returns.
David Fry appears to want extra reps.
Halpin would have the ability to assist in heart, which is perhaps good. Rodriguez is a right-handed hitter… however I don’t assume the workforce trusts his protection they usually can’t actually convey up one other DH with Fry nearing a return.
So, it’s perhaps biting the bullet and placing Juan Brito on a serious league wage and the 60-Day IL and including both CJ Kayfus or Chase DeLauter? There isn’t a approach they’re snug with bringing DeLauter up this early into his rehab schedule in Columbus.
So, is it Kayfus? Kayfus comes up and performs proper discipline in Cleveland. Noel extends his time and Jones and Martinez take many of the reps in centerfield. Kayfus pinch-hit off the bench tonight so perhaps he was Tracy’s guess of the participant who would get known as up.
Or, is it Halpin. No 40-man transfer required, reward a younger participant working laborious and get assist defensively whereas Jones will get an additional shot.
It’s Halpin. Proper? Proper.
Thriller solved… or IS IT?
