"We finally put Danny on the disabled list to clean up all the wrist questions that we had and for him to rehab and then go down to the minor leagues, with a healthy wrist, go down there and work on the mental side of hitting and see if we can get him back here," Rizzo said. "Because he's a guy that we need that's going to be a guy that we're going to count on sometime this year. So we want to get him right."
Why not option him to AAA, then DL from there?
Because you can't do that. The Nats would be killed by the players union if they tried that BS.
Amanda Comak: Rizzo did not rule out Espinosa being optioned to the minor leagues AFTER he is healthy so he can get himself back to normal offensively.
The plan was to option him anyways, right? After his 'rehab', they'll still have to make a move (or reinstate him...)
If they're injured in the majors, they have to go on the major league DL. Teams have tried, and lost, grievances where they sent an injured player down and then DL'ed him.
I thought the Marlins pull that from time to time. Where's Natsaddict when you need him?
Looks like Espi is starting his rehab games. Chiefs are in Charlotte playing the Knights this week and saw his name on their lineup that the Knights tweeted out. thinking of going to the game on Thursday to see how bad he still is and see how T-Mo is playing
We had about ten minutes thinking that they optioned him, oh well, I just he just 'rehabs' for a few months
A fixed Espinosa is a much better player than Moore.
