A bit surprised Rainey wasn't the first to go.

A bit surprised Rainey wasn't the first to go.

They are trying to salvage him. Hickey will work with him but to no avail and then send him to Rochester.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I don't believe any of Rainey, MBarnes, or Weems could have been sent down without clearing waivers. MBarnes can refuse an outright assignment at this point, and maybe Weems as well.

In some ways, they are doing MBarnes a solid by seeing if there's any interest by a major league team then giving him an opportunity to pick which team he thinks he could work his way back to the majors with by signing. He's a vet hunting for an opportunity.

Alex Call optioned to Triple A. Robles recalled.

so . . . just 2 out and two in today?

Rosario, Meneses survive another day.

Rosario, Meneses survive another day. 

Rosario isn't going to be cut after finally having a couple games back to back with hits. They're going to see if this is him turning the corner or a dead cat bounce.

I think Meneses survives only until Joey Gallo is back. Then he better hope they're ready to end the Nunez experiment or it makes it hard to see how he stays on roster.

The thing is, I think the roster is short on functional righty hitting than lefty.

Lefties - Abrams, Garcia (pray he's well), Winker. That's before the reclaim projects, Gallo and Rosario.

Righties - Senzel. Then what? Vargas is the next best, which is damning by faint praise. Adams if he plays. Lip is there but not shocking the world. Better hope for Robles to be like 4/23 or Meneses at least can put balls in play.

Meneses I think has a longer leash, but at some point, an option to AAA (or DFA if the 40 man spot is needed) and adding YEpez to the roster should be tried. I don't think they rush to add back Gallo.
