Houser and Gustave test positive for Covid

[sveumrules]

I wonder have the Brewers sent anyone to scout JJ ?

 

Has Jeffress been signed by someone yet? If Axford was a possible…

 

Jeremy Jeffress currently has an 11.17 ERA in 10 G / 9.2 IP with 14 K / 8 BB / 3 HR pitching for the Lexington Legends of the independent Atlantic League.

I feel like we'd have to look at the rest of the stats for the league and go with League adjusted/fip/era+, but yes, I feel like that's pretty bad.

Could be worse. At least he isn't pitching in the California Penal League.

It isn’t ideal, but at what point do they start postponing games?

When it’s a large market team that it affects.

I wonder what the actual rules are on this but I can't seem to find anything concrete. I'd guess it has something to do with a team asking for a postponement or maybe having more guys catch it at once than they can replace in the time frame needed to field 26 guys.

Houser has now been placed on the Covid IL……Yelich takes his place on the roster……will be interesting to see what they will do when they need another starter.

I looked around as well, and couldn't find anything specific. I wonder if a team can just say "hey, we've got too much close contact/trace contact" and ask for a postponement until they can get tests back. Honestly, I feel like the Brewers HAVE to be at or near that point. I obviously don't want the Brewers playing double headers later in the season or trying to play 35 games in 36 days, but we're reaching critical mass for available players, and the team has to look at what scenario is realistically more viable for the long term strength of the team over the course of the rest of this season and their playoff future.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

If they keep winning games I think it’s a moot point. Yeah, it’s less than ideal. But it certainly hasn’t hindered results thus far.

[Outlander]

Thus far, but since not everybody gets tested because of vaccinations you never really know who has it or is carrying it on the team right now. Unless they actually test everybody on the team it could stick around for a while.

[jerichoholicninja]

With such a big lead in the division it's probably better in the long run to play a little short now than get games all bunched up at the end of the season and burn the team out before the playoffs.

[djoctagone]

expect a delay in activating jandel gustave.

[bork]

It looks like Houser will need some extra time as well.

[djoctagone]

jandel gustave was so weak from his covid ordeal, he could only do single pushups. he is throwing now.

note that by nature of being placed on the covid-19 injured list as a close contact, jandel gustave was not vaccinated at the time--which likely contributed to the severity of his symptoms when he later tested positive. this likely cost him time on the active roster, because it's going to take longer for him to regain strength.

[djoctagone]

adrian houser has rejoined the club and is ramping up to be activated. expect it to take some time.

We dont need another starter until Sunday. My guess is he works out "recovering" until then. They will need to clear a 40 man roster spot so I am thinking Lopes or Yardley will get DFA'd to make room. Sanchez will probably be optioned to make room on the 26 man roster.

the club currently has 20 position players and 20 pitchers on the 40-man roster. they seem to tend to carry more pitchers, so i'm thinking that tim lopes is the dfa candidate today when adrian houser is activated.

jandel gustave starts a rehab assignment tonight with class aaa nashville. presumably, it can last up to 30 days like other rehab assignments for pitchers, but this writer has not confirmed that.

[djoctagone]

jandel gustave has been activated from the special covid-19 injured list and has returned to the 40-man roster.

 

he is now on the 28-man roster.
