    I wonder if his brother regrets leaving... he would have at least one win by now... and another Tommy John.

    It starts with Crane and Altuve. Altuve is like Brady. It's hard to make excuses when you have a 5'5" making it happen year over year.

    These updates all sound pretty promising.

    Would be crazy if the rotation got back Javier, Garcia, France and Arrigheti.

    Not sure what we would do with all proven starters we have now.

    Hopefully trade 1-2 for a hitter for a run at the WS this year.

    If that’s to be believed, Arrighetti, Garcia, Javier, and France are all built up to ~30 pitches and should pretty much all head out on rehab in the next 15 days, which (barring…setbacks) should have them ready to return to the majors by mid-August. Kind of late timing to try to get a handle on how they look prior to the trade deadline.

    If Yordan and McCormick are hitting live BP already they could be back next week; I’ll be surprised if either of them go out on rehab (unless they just want to send McCormick down without optioning him).

    Very ominous updates on Dubin and Dezenzo. I wouldn’t expect either of them back this season.

    Non-updates on Leon, Melton, and Rodgers. I actually don’t believe for a second that any of those guys are hitting or throwing.

    Nonzero chance that ... these three could have all suffer phantom injuries which will keep them sidelined until SpringTraining.

    The backend of the bullpen (Ort and King) are struggling, so that is two spots that could open up. :shrug:

    He's had hand issues for over a year. There must be something structurally going on that is causing him issues.

    FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKK

    I HATE this medical team, they are so hapless. Why not just have surgery from the very beginning when he first went down in early May, there would have at least been a chance he can return healthy this season.

    This same crap happened with McCullers. They spent an entire season waiting and seeing after 2022 and he never got better. Then a year later did surgery and he lost another year. So he was out two years instead of just one.

    F*** THIS S***. For a world class organization, their handling and management of injuries is the absolute *****.
