    Do we aim for Cal Raleigh for them knocking out July MVP Zach Short?

    These updates put:

    Alvarez back next week

    Garcia, Arrighetti, France, and Javier back mid-August

    Dezenzo, Rodgers, Leon, and Dubin are tracking to be out for for the season.

    Pena, Meyers, and Melton are big unknowns.

    Arrighetti yesterday... 3 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 4 K, 43 pitches... didn't realize you can get through 3 innings with less than 50 pitches :D

    Too optimistic on Alvarez. I’d have Arrighetti back this upcoming homestand. He should be heated up to 75 or 80 pitches, that’s enough. I’ve got pena back next Monday in 8 days. That pretty much needs to happen.
    You left out Paredes- I assume he’s gone for the year.

    Arrighetti and probably Javier will be back before mid August.

    I'd be more worried about his 'new' mechanics... seems like he's shot-putting the ball more than I remember... or I was always just distracted by the rock the baby motion to really notice.

    Need some side-by-side comparisons... pitching ninja style.

    It did look wonky in those highlights. Maybe he is bringing back the palm ball.
