Got drilled with 98 on the side of his front knee,.a bit towards the posterior side.
Im sure they'll get an MRI but it didn't look like anything was broken. He limped off woth some assistance and his knee will he very very swollen tomorrow.
I think he actually tried to hit Tovar with that inside sinker and just missed, then let the thought go. Clearly no reason to hit that idiot at that time
I dont see the sense in worrying about Otto Lopez. Dude was superflous on the Jays roster, was coming back from injury, and they needed a spot for Yariel.
If there's a player to never worry about "losing" a trade over, it would be Otto Lopez.
I dont see how the Jays lost the Otto Lopez trade. They traded him to San Francisco for cash. He proceeded to suck in San Francicso and was DFA by them and picked up by Miami as a waiver claim.
If anything, San Francisco lost the Lopez deal.
Sanchez has already been DFA'd once this year and cleared waivers in June, Valenzuela could be an insurance policy if he does get claimed this time I suppose.
Ali Sanchez DFA
Buddy Kennedy selected. A 26-year-old utility guy who does absolutely nothing with the bat. So... looks like they brought him up for IF depth and to have a guy to make Ty France feel good about no longer being the worst hitter on the roster.
The Blue Jays announced that they have selected the contract of infielder Buddy Kennedy. In a corresponding move, catcher Ali Sánchez has been designated for assignment. The 40-man roster remains full.
Sánchez was selected to the roster a little over a week ago when Alejandro Kirk landed on the seven-day concussion-related injured list. Kirk was reinstated on Sunday but Tyler Heineman had been removed from Saturday’s contest after being struck by a foul ball. The Jays decided to keep all three catchers for a few days to buy some time as they evaluated Heineman.
Yeah... it would just be really hard to do consistently since they wouldn't rwally be preaching spin rate... which might help them at home, but then wouldn't help on the road.
Would be a nearly impossible task I would think. Maybe a guy like Bassitt...if he threw more ground balls?
