Abner's first save since April 2, 2024. After which he'd lose the closer's role, (literally) fight his way to a demotion, then suffer a season-ending injury playing hacky sack in the clubhouse.
A really nice turnaround for the kid.
I would like a full fake report from Sophia on Thursday about how Yelich's shoulder had been bothering him for some time to justify his IL placement and to also hear about him taking intense BP two days later.
Kinda had a feeling after the save from Chourio yesterday Mears' magic reserves might be running a bit low. Not that Priester should have even started the inning.
All for sending Ortiz, Durbin, Monasterio down if a trade or waiver claim brings in someone likely to be better. Any viable 2025 alternatives at SS and 3B are not currently in the organization, unfortunately.
Finally getting a run whilst illustrating exactly why it has been so difficult to get any runs: single, single, sacrifice, single, then a pair of weak outs by the minor leaguers at the bottom of the order.
Liked him a lot last year. Can't believe he only threw 7.2 IP for us. Felt like more, maybe because the 3 opener starts.
Can't blame them for letting him go (then Cubs and now Yanks did too), given he was an injured 33 year old journeyman. Not sure how long he stays with the rehab assignments ongoing. Big show of the lack of confidence in Hudson as well.
Keep waiting for the pitching roster jam, but the injuries remain stubborn.
Still, Civale, Hall, and Ashby all pitched for Nashville tonight. Civale appears ready to return first, but all three are tracking strong.
