Injuries (2025)

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Just hit Crews second. Wood third. Lowe cleanup. Ruiz 5th.

you don't buy 1/2/4 should be your best hitters? I expect Wood to draw BBs, which are wasted at #3.

Lineup is out for tonight: Abrams, Call, Wood, Ruiz, Lowe, Rosario, Bell, Crews, Garcia vs LHP

Brzykcy In Rochester tonight: 1IP, 0H, 1K, 1BB

Cavalli in Harrisburg: 5IP, 0R, 2H, 4K, 1BB.  69 pitches / 43 strikes.

Help is on the way…

This. Wood should either bat lead off or ideally bat second. If Abrams can manage a league average OBP I'm fine with him leading off.

Per Zuck: DeJong is undergoing surgery to repair a broken nose. No timetable for return.

Meanwhile at AAA: Brady House has posted .299 /.365 /.471 / .836 with 3HR, a 3B, and 4 2Bs

I'm optimistic about mostly everything, but if Wood continues being Wood, Crews flips his script and hits his billing, and House just becomes a competent MLB 3B, we've got a pretty decent little core. I think if Abrams figures it out, it's icing on the cake. Gore looks legit, Irvin and Parker seem like quality pitchers in the rotation. Gotta see what we can get from Cavalli, even as a reliever.

I remember when Rod Langway got his nose broken -- flattened -- toward the end of a second period against the Rangers. There he was on the second defensive shift to start the third. John Davidson almost shouted "The warrior returns!".

DeJong must be hurt worse.

Soroka scheduled for 5 innings today in Harrisburg. Assuming all goes well he is probably in the rotation after this.

Soroka scheduled for 5 innings today in Harrisburg. Assuming all goes well he is probably in the rotation after this.

Since his start is the day after Lord and there's no off days, you probably see one more start out of Lord. Maybe they insert Soroka on Friday to give the rotation after Parker an extra day off, or hold off Soroka until Tuesday 5/6 when Lord is due again, and come back with Parker on Wednesday on regular rest. Everyone else would get an extra day after the team's next off day on 5/8.

Good start for Soroka
4.1IP, 4H, 2ER, 1BB, 4Ks.

78 pitches, 47 strikes

that's about the target for pitches but looks like he was inefficient
