Gonna need 5+ from Arighetti tomorrow and that's pretty unlikely. 

Mantiply is almost ready too so maybe they abuse Little again tonight for as much as they can and send him back down for Mantiply tomorrow. 

This injury to Bieber sucks. Its basically going to result in some guys getting DFA that don't really deserve it. 

 

Currently on the 40 man with options in the minors:

Cellucci

Klein

Lee

Tiedemann

Van Eyk

Other injury updates: 

Jameson Taillon is supposed to throw a rehab game in Buffalo on the 28th so that's some news...

Bieber... feels like old Yeller time for the season but ... his injury is just inflammation, nothing structural. Two weeks, likely a rehab start then maybe gets 1-2 more with the big club as the season winds down. 

A real decision is coming with Trey - if they don't think he can make it back for the end of the season they should probably shift him to the 60 day IL to make room for Guerra or Stanifer.

Clase might be able to be shifted to the 60 day as he's dealing with plantar fasciitis which can take a long time to recover from... he's already been out just over a month.

Urias ... that's a mystery card for now as it's a quad strain and he would be on track to come back in mid September if all goes well in rehab. Any setback and he might be 60 day IL

Josh Smith will likely be back as soon as he is eligible or a few days later depending on how they want to manipulate the roster.

-0.021 WPA for him last game which is good for him. He's heating up!

Seriously though he only has 2 positive WPA games in his last 15 and we always bat him 2nd or 3rd.  If he was even half way decent we'd be in a playoff spot right now. but instead we have a black hole in the most important batting spot in the lineup every game.

Of course JS put f***in Guerrero jr 2nd in the order tonight. 🙄 Does he think that the $500M kid would magically turn around the corner and perform better?

Wrong!  He gets to bat 2nd..lol

Also Sanchez in left field.  Actually this whole lineup is dumb but at least Bateman and Kirk seem to be batting where they should be.

I'm so tired of watching these lineups every day. Always same order, never moves down Guerrero more than 3rd, no matter how he performs.

Since late May, I think Guerrero has one of the worst wRC+ among Jays batters, but JS doesn't care about the data

It makes zero sense. In his career he doesn't hit in the 2 hole but redface keeps putting him there smdh. The team played better when he was out imo

Well it took redface 3 months to move Springer out of the lead off spot.
