Only 4 options: Demote Marisnick to AAA (most likely) Release Hernandez (I wish) Trade (give me Keuchel) Someone unexpectantly moved to DL

Yea I get it Just saying that a team that feels the need for an extra pitcher all year Probably won't feel comfortable getting rid of one heading to Coors Not saying I personally would have 13 pitchers, just looking at what they have done and what makes sense within that In any case seems like Rasmus has some personal issues to deal with
More clarification. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Colby Rasmus will be placed on bereavement list due to the death of his grandmother.

Irrelevant in this case since know his grandmother died, but the MLB Bereavement list does include serious illness. Bereavement list The bereavement list may be used when a player finds it necessary to leave the team to attend to a serious illness or death in his (or his spouse's) immediate family. A player placed on the bereavement list must miss a minimum of three games and a maximum of seven games. The team can use another player from its 40-man roster to replace a player on the bereavement list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_transactions#Bereavement_list
