I think he's getting skipped for his next start vs. Twinkies

They plan on barely using him at all for a few weeks, and would prefer he not take up a roster spot.

I'm guessing they were going to skip a start anyway to keep his innings down.

 

He can skip a start in Florida instead.of here so that they can add a bullpen arm during that time.

 

I guess that makes sense given the overall plan

He has options so they don't have to DL him. They were planning to skip him anyways so now they have an arm in a he pen

He was going to be skipped in his next turn and wasn't going to pitch out of the pen. THis is a way to add another body in his place until he starts again.

 

Why they decided for Loup instead of a position player is the more questionable move. Gibbons doesn't even use Tepera unless it's a blowout, and that's his boy. He won't be using Loup either. Might as well have called up BUrns or something. At least he would have been of some use.

If they wanted to skip a start, which has been planned for a while really he would not pitch for over 10 days due to the 6 man rotation. In order not to waste his roster spot for that long they can send him to the minors and call someone up. He skips his start down there then comes back in 10-12 days. It's a smart move.

Loup is probably for today. The high leverage pen arms have all been used in each of the last two nights. Need another fresh arm (and for Stroman to go 7+).

Loup's likely only up for today to give the bullpen an extra arm. He or Tepera will be sent down Tuesday when Pillar is activated off the DL, of which the Jays will go back to a 4-man bench. Sanchez will likely return when rosters expand in 11 days. This is the right thing to do.. we need the extra spot.

Honestly, it's nice to read smart baseball chatter here. When we hear on the radio today, it is going to be bonkers ********.

 

I will say it though, the kids young, his arm is fine and he has shown no sign of fatigue. I would keep Liriano and Sanchez in the rotation and move Dickey to the pen. Stroman doesn't seem to have a cap on his innings,why Sanchez?

Stroman likely spent last year building up his arm strength and throwing a lot while rehabbing his knee. Sanchez threw 92 innings last year.

It sort of makes a lot of sense, if you consider their plan of skipping a start or two....

Move makes sense. The casuals are going to lose their minds though.
