What is the story about?
There
is a whole mess of injury news this afternoon:
- George Springer hit some pitches and says he ‘feels great’. He isn’t starting today, but he’ll be available off the bench and should start tomorrow. That’s gotta be the best possible result after he got hit on the broken toe just two days ago.
- Addison Barger will play with the Bisons tomorrow and likely Wednesday and then should be back with the Jays on the weekend.
- Alejandro Kirk will start swinging a bat later this week, which surprised me. I figured it wouldn’t be for a bit yet. But if he can do it, that’s great. I guess it is all on how much pain he can handle.
- Max Scherzer is ‘feeling better’. I don’t know what that means. I don’t know if he’ll be back right away.
- Yimi Garcia will start a rehab assignment later this week. It shouldn’t take to long for him to be ready to job the Jays after that.
- José Berríos will meet up with the Jays in Tampa. And then they will talk about the next step. They don’t have to activate him from the IL if he’s not ready and if he isn’t throwing well….I don’t see putting him on the roster.
Today’s lineup is similar to yesterday’s, minus Sosa and Heineman, and Varsho is DH today. He was having some better at bats yesterday. Hopefully that will continue.
SB has a new system for polls, so I’m trying it out after having a failure with a poll last week.
