Great news for Peña and the Mudacts.

So tomorrow will revert back to Sunday, as opposed to Rodriguez-day (Carlos and Manuel were both slated to start)

Oblique issue, relatively minor with a late May / early June target return as per Manager Victor Estevez on the postgame podcast (thanks for asking, Kyle Lobner!)

Daniel Corniel was placed on the full-season injured list. I'd guess that means elbow/shoulder surgery

Carolina places RHP Josh Timmerman on the 7-day IL retroactive to 5/3.

Sorry if I missed it, but what's going on with Ernesto Martinez Jr.?  Feels like it's been at least a couple of weeks now since we've seen him in the Nashville lineup.  Was he ever put on the IL, and what is the actual injury that  he's dealing with?  Do we have a timetable for when he might return?

Thumb injury sliding I believe! He should be back in the next couple of days per @Joseph Zarr

Yup. Jeff Hem (Sounds Announcer) mentioned it in last night's broadcast. EMJ went through a full and healthy work out Wednesday day. He then shared it appears as though he'll either be in the line up tonight or Friday as a result. It was a bit of a last 'test', so to speak.

The reason why he never went to the IL is there is a shortage of healthy players to fill that bill - Quero, Holub and Black are occupying roster spots with their 7-Day IL designations and they've likely had to avail a roster/active spot for rehabbers (ie RHP Brandon Woodruff's recent start...RHP Tobias Myers before these outings). Remember, Double and Triple-A ball clubs now are limited to 33 rosterable players total and 28 active players daily. The Sounds have been rolling with a mere two man bench for the past two weeks. Tricky roster shuffling afoot! Another fringe example of the challenges of reduced stateside roster counts.

Trying to remember how many years ago it was when I targeted Dalbec as a power hitting corner infielder as a change of scenery move.

Hey @ARobsBrewCrew do you have any info on O'Rae? Just feels weird that he's still just not on a roster or injured list.

I’ll try to dig some info up, but, at this point, all I know is that he’s at the complex in Arizona.

Brewers were waiting for the tariffs on Canadian imports to be called off.
