Yankees do have to travel after the game. And then the doubleheader both teams have to travel for games the next day. What a garbage schedule thanks to the lockout.
With the other 2 a doubleheader coming out of the All Star Break and a trip to Seattle that night. Great scheduling there, MLB.
6-2 so far. Just treat it like a rest day for everyone, one of the few times I'm ok with gifting them the win. I would have been happy with 4-5 in this stretch.
I would be surprised if both play. 50-50 that one will start. But I suspect both will be "available" to PH if on the bench. At least officially.
Pena more likely as his issue seemed to be more about a bloody mouth even though they said both were being evaluated for concussions. If Yordan had a concussion then he may be forced to be out a few days.
Yankees got the short-end of this. They played in NY yesterday then travel 1,200 miles (CLE) tonight. Astros have 6 home games after today Get the victory anyway
Fan graphs on Brantley: His right (non-throwing) shoulder is the same one on which he had two surgeries in 2015-16, the first to repair a torn labrum and the second to alleviate chronic biceps tendonitis; he played in just 11 games in 2016. “Asked whether the injury occurred on one play or whether it had been a season-long problem, Brantley replied, ‘A little bit of both,'” Even given his balky shoulder, Brantley remains Mr. Consistency, hitting .288/.370/.416 with five homers and a 130 wRC+, his fifth straight season with a wRC+ in the 123 to 133 range. While his power numbers are down — his slugging percentage is his lowest mark in substantial playing time since 2013 — he’s walking at a career-best 11.2% clip, up from last year’s 6.5% and a career mark of 7.9%. The spike in walk rate raises the possibility that he’s been protecting his shoulder, particularly given that it’s been accompanied by a 41.5% swing rage, his lowest since 2012 save for the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
I was thinking....really weird start time tonight... Then I realized it's only 1 game and we play the Angels tomorrow, and then continue this as a double header on the 21st of July?! What Gives?
