The verdict is in ...

Quinn will win over Kevin ...

Then it's time for din-dinn!

Tell your kin ...

Jays will take it again on the chin!

So was Priester actually hurt or just a chance to limit innings?

His wrist was bothering him. Said it was nothing bad. Just was the difference between feeling 90% and 100%. Priester threw 158 innings in 2023 so he shouldn't have any innings limit issues this year.

The return of Chourio!

Good news, for sure. Still hate to see any of these wood pecking, pesky outfielders sit. They’ve been amazing.

It feels like we haven’t won a series in forever

Not since the 14 game streak. Would be great to win another one today.

No, I'd not rather have Hoskins than chourio activated.

[Frisbee Slider]

I expect Hoskins and Chourio will both be effective upon return. Hoskins has a lot of incentive to not be the guy that got benched by Andrew Vaughn before free agency 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I knew it would be Lockridge but I was still hoping it would be Siegler. 

[folly412]

Was hoping they'd ease him in and put him down where Collins is.  Though Woodruff and initial Perkins taught me to pay little mind to rehab assignment performance.

Will Lockridge join Hoskins on the big league roster in September?

Other than Gasser, what pitchers might be added? I assume McGee will not return this season. 

[folly412]

Barring anything crazy, it looks like Yoho and Hoskins are the additions on Monday. 

Ortiz set to return looks like a Seigler option or Bauers DFA.

You can only add 1 extra position player and 1 pitcher.

Hoskins seems like,a lock to be added…..Lockridge would depend on Releasing Bauers would be my guess. 
 

Joey will need a spot shortly…..

[DonBarclay]

Does anyone know if the waiting period after being optioned still applies to September callups? Specifically, do Lockridge and McGee (and Gasser??) have to wait the 10/15 days before they can be up?

[Frisbee Slider]

I can’t imagine the role Bauers would have once Hoskins returns. He bats left handed, I suppose 🤷‍♂️

I hope we DFA Bauers & option Seigler to make room for Hoskins & Ortiz 

Lockridge adds a quality player in waiting should we have an injury in the OF

I need to look at the actual roster … too many pitchers on IL … not sure who gets removed or when

I like Grant Anderson more than McGee

I like Patrick & Gasser more than Fedde as a starter

When Megill returns - hopefully soon - not sure who is removed 

 

[Jim Goulart]

No Levering on FanDuel or TMJ. Is this Jeff’s first series miss in pretty much forever?

Does he have options remaining? 🙂
I like Jeff and hope everything is alright.

No one has to be removed from the roster to make room for Hoskins assuming he's added after 9/1. The way things look now it'll be Seigler OR Bauers in jeopardy. Judging by how some people have been taking ground balls in unfamiliar spots it appears they're considering either option.
