IF it did, that might explain his terrible first start in Chicago, where it was like 40 degrees outside. Actually, going full-on conspiracy mode, Woodruff's three "blow-up" starts this year were in Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati in April/early May....
Until Renfroe comes back and with Taylor on the IL, I'd imagine he'd be at DH against LHPs with McCutchen in the corner outfield. Hiura will probably go down when Taylor comes back and then they'll probably be forced to make a decision when Renfroe returns. But that looks like it won't be till after the all-star break.
So, something like this against a LHP....
Yelich LF
Adames SS
McCutchen RF
Urias 2B
Severino DH
Tellez 1B
Brosseau 3B
Caratini C
Davis/Taylor CF
Christian Yelich's WRC+ since June 7 is 150.....He's second in all of baseball in LF fWAR in that span behind only Yordan Alvarez. Also, with half of the season to go, he's now matched (fWAR) or surpassed (bWAR) his WAR total from last year.
Why don't you take the 2 scoreless innings of Chi Chi and go with Gustave here now that it's a three run game with the top of the order coming up against a struggling Bednar?
I still think a guy like Martin Perez wouldn't be a bad pickup for this team. He's a free agent after the season, so the Rangers can't be expecting that much.
