Injury updates

[markedman5]

Taylor is very close

 

[82brewcrew82]

Petty good news all around.  I imagine Perkins goes for Taylor.  The Houser decision clearly depends on what Rea does today.

[Ro Mueller]

Gus Varland’s rehab is shifting from Wisconsin to Nashville. 

 

[Frisbee Slider]

Was there probability on Mitchell returning late this year?

[pitchleague]

I think, at this time, it is unlikely that he would be back this season.  But I'm sure, as always, there is a slight chance that he could be available at the end of September and into October.  But, again, this is extremely unlikely.

[Playing Catch]

I agree that it's unlikely Mitchell returns. I think, though, that we would all agree having his skillset on a playoff roster would be beneficial to a playoff run. That would be fun.

[Outlander]

I'm going to opt to stay positive and looking forward to a bunch of starting pitching to return in 6-8 weeks.

[Ewitkows1]

Going to have to make a move soon.

Wave the white flag and trade who's still playing that helps another team for a value prospect

[HarryDoyle]

Surprise surprise. Lauer placed on the 15 day IL with "right shoulder impingement". I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED I SAY!

Finally some good news

 

[Jim French Stepstool]

Guess I mis-judged Varland. I really liked the way he looked early on. To go from there to the point where he clears waivers, never saw that coming.

I wonder if that eventually leads to Anderson settling in in RF. I'd understand it as he has the tools to play there but I really like him at 3B.

Gives you the option to sit Turang and/or Wiemer more depending on matchups. Need to limit the # of at-bats we're getting from sub .700 OPS guys.

[Ro Mueller]

Maybe the Bush and Lauer situations will help the brass be more proactive/adamant in the future about shutting players with troubling velocity dips down early.

[duewizard]

With Rea already covering for Woody who covers for Lauer in the rotation for the next start? Wilson? Bullpen game?

Good points, but I'm looking at it from the standpoint of run prevention because, well, it's what I do😛. He's by far our best third baseman IMO. We may not have won Sundays' game if he wasn't at third in the final 2 innings. And I actually have no problem rolling with Turang most of the time.

Having said all this, I'm sure you'll see him in RF some.

I think this is a great point and I wondered earlier in the year, I'm surprised they don't see dip in velocity and instantly say "go for an MRI". It's not exactly a huge cost but could absolutely be worth it in the long run

[Jake McKibbin]

Also we're four weeks into Frelick's 6-8 weeks prognosis

That’d be pretty hard for Counsell to do  and fill out a 9 batter lineup though:

Adames

Winker

Taylor

Turang

Wiemer

[wiguy94]

Luke Voit DFA'd.
