Trevor Williams to the 60-day IL

Which means he can't pitch until late May at the earliest.

[Slateman]

Trevor Williams to the 60-day IL

Had elbow surgery. Probably not back until after the deadline, hopefully taking Griffin of Cavalli's spot

[GataNats]

Which means he can't pitch until late May at the earliest.

Good.  Never want to see that guy pitch again

Guessing DJ Herz starts on 60 day?

Guessing DJ Herz starts on 60 day?

If they need the 40 man spot, I imagine they will move him there

Guessing DJ Herz starts on 60 day?

you guessed right. Herz to the 60-day to make room for Mikolas

Ford hurt sliding into 2nd. Walked off under his own power.

[imref]

Zuck notes Garcia Jr. D2D with thigh tightness, Young D2D with a sore wrist after getting hit by a pitch in BP this week.

[imref]

Ford DH’ng today. Whew.

[imref]

Crews D2D after getting hit on the thumb during batting practice.

[Slateman]

So, another disastrous start for Crews.

[imref]

Paxton Schultz will open the season on the IL with elbow discomfort. Zuck notes he hasn't pitched since 2/28 but is throwing off a mound and could be ready for a rehab assignment soon.

Doesn't that usually mean TJS coming? Or that he has not recovered from it?

[imref]

That sucks.

[Slateman]

Doesn't that usually mean TJS coming? Or that he has not recovered from it?

It is a precursor, sometimes. But he just had it so ...

[nobleisthyname]

Josiah Gray to the 60-Day IL with a flexor strain.

Edit: Looks like there's two threads.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Reading Zuck, this  is how they opened a spot for Perez on the 40 man roster. They also placed Paxton Schultz on the 15 day IL to open a spot on the active roster for perez

Placeholder for Mikolas?

[Squab]

Placeholder for Mikolas?

slide in Lord and grab Ribalta? or Cornelio or Alvarez to start?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

slide in Lord and grab Ribalta? or Cornelio or Alvarez to start?

if Mikolas is hurt, then Ribalta because we need bullpen help and both Lord and Henry threw 50+ pitches. Neither likely available Friday. You still may want Cornelio or Alvarez for the rotation, in which case you send Ribalta or someone else out next time this slot comes up in the rotation

[Slateman]

slide in Lord and grab Ribalta? or Cornelio or Alvarez to start?

Cornelio is not ready and, frankly, is half a season a way from being turned into a reliever.

[welch]

Alvarez was Pitcher of the Week. He pitched tonight: 5 innings, 2 hits, 2 ER, 6 strikeouts and 3 walks.
