What's up with Hosmer?
One more week on the IL?
I have to set my weekly roster ny noon Monday, looks like I have to live with Josh Bell at 1B for a week or two.
I have Candelario too on the bench, but his power numbers so far have fallen short of everyone's expectation.Comment -
At least it's early in the season to get these injuries.Comment -
Close game with Padres and CardsComment -
Pujols signs with the Dodgers. I respect a man trying to finish his final season and go out a winner but man I just can't root for him now that he's a Dodger. He probably won't even play enough for me to hate him but I guess he can help the Dodgers off the bench as a pinch hitter.Comment -
TODAY: The Yankees will indeed place Hicks on the 10-day IL, according to Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network (Twitter link). Ryan LaMarre will be called up to take Hicks’ spot on the active roster, as per Jack Curry of YES.
MAY 14: Yankees center fielder Aaron Hicks has suffered a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, Marly Rivera of ESPN reports. There is no word on how much time Hicks will miss. He could play this weekend, go on the injured list or undergo surgery, per Rivera. He’s on medication for the time being.
This continues a difficult start to the season for Hicks, who hasn’t been able to replicate his strong effort from 2020. The switch-hitting 31-year-old has hit just .194/.294/.333 with four home runs in 126 plate appearances, making it easily his worst production since the Yankees acquired him from the Twins before 2016. Hicks performed well enough in the Bronx from 2017-18 that the team signed him to a seven-year, $70MM extension heading into the 2019 campaign. But Hicks dealt with back and elbow problems that year, limiting him to 54 games, and had to undergo Tommy John surgery after the season.
Although Hicks has had a rough go this year, any extended absence would be a significant blow to New York’s outfield depth. Hicks has played the vast majority of the team’s games this year in center field, starting at the position in 30 of 37 contests. The Yankees’ next option has been Brett Gardner, who has also posted uncharacteristically poor numbers this season, and the club took from its center depth when it traded Mike Tauchman to the Giants for reliever Wandy Peralta in late April.Comment -
Wow, Ryan LaMarre now a Yankee. That guy is a grinder.Comment -
IMO I think this is a win win for the Dodgers. They add someone who can fill in when guys need a day off and can help off the bench. He probably has to be thinking this is his best chance to win a World Series and realistically the only team where he might play some because most teams probably wouldn't be in a rush to sign a guy who is washed up. For the Dodgers they have to be thinking this guy might be able to help them in a key situation in the playoffs off the bench so there really isn't any risk to signing him for the rest of the season.Comment -
White Sox Ace looked shaky last nightComment -
Chris Paddack has looked very good his past 2 starts which is encouraging.Comment -
Who's worse Snell or Paddack ?Comment -
Pujols going to play more postseason games this year than his whole career as an Angel.Comment -
Broke Even betting every MLB game yesterdayComment -
Pujols was washed up years ago. Surprised Dodgers signed him.Comment -
He could be a great bench player.Comment -
I was surprised to see Pujols make the starting lineup tonight and not only did he play but he delivered an RBI single. I don't think he'll be much of an impact player but I think the Dodgers like taking on these old veterans like Pujols and having them around to mentor the younger guys. They did it with guys like Utley and I think Pujols could play a similar role here.Comment -
Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard is about to take a notable step in his recovery from March 2020 Tommy John surgery. The hard-throwing 28-year-old will begin a minor league rehab assignment at the Low-A level on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
The Mets have gone the past season-plus without Syndergaard, who was among the game’s most valuable starters before he went under the knife. Syndergaard has pitched to a terrific 3.31 ERA/3.37 SIERA with above-average strikeout and walk percentages of 26.4 and 5.6, respectively, across 716 innings in the majors. He’s now in his final year of team control, making this season all the more crucial for him.
For their part, the Mets have designs on winning the National League East – a division they lead by a half-game – so Syndergaard (and fellow righty Carlos Carrasco, who has been out with all year with a hamstring strain) will be a key reinforcement when he’s ready to come back. Jacob deGrom has continued to dominate as the leader of the Mets’ rotation this year, though he’s now on the IL with tightness in his right side. Marcus Stroman and Taijuan Walker have served as more-than-capable complements to deGrom, but a healthy Syndergaard would nonetheless be a welcome in-season addition for New York.Comment -
A couple more pitching gems tonight, they are everywhere.Comment -
Everytime I bet against the Giants I loseComment -
Should have drafted him.
Only thing that held me back was arm issues but he's been 100 percent healthy for SD all season, so that's a good thing.
I got Giolito going today, he should be money.
I get 11 starts this week between 6 starters, I'm feeling a big shake up in the standings this week.
I got my W last night, I got three starters going tonight.Comment -
Webb, multiple nasal fractures.
