Whammy

That one time? In one of the three games he’s pitched for us?

Oh good… we’ve got Morneau on a 10 minute speculation binge with Mize’s injury

So wait... why didn't the White Sox trade for Dobnak and just line him up for two starts against the Twins? Did that make TOO much sense?

Dobnak?!?!!?!?! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Man, a lot of the teams we are rooting to lose are playing terrible teams Astros playing A's Rangers playing Angels Guardians playing Rockies Tigers playing Royals White Sox playing Mets Red Sox playing Giants Just the Blue Jays are playing a good team (Yankees)

Some sites (like ESPN) have had that for a while, but MLB.com is still showing TBD.

My wild speculation is that we get Casey Mize tonight (on normal rest because they had an off day yesterday) and Joe Musgove tomorrow (with one extra day of rest since he hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2024).

Could be that Joe Musgrove is being activated from the IL He went 4.2 innings in a August 16 rehab start, so the timing works for that

ESPN has had Vasquez listed for at least a day, but MLB has it as TBD. Not sure what's up

It's convoluted because of the potential lockout. Any player on a 40-man roster would be ineligible to play in the minor league during an MLB lockout. That's related to the MLBPA, and has nothing to do with option years. Once any potential lockout is settled, then option years would work just like normal and Walker Jenkins still has 3 option years remaining, so he could theoretically be optioned to AAA during the 2027 season (and two future years)

I'm pretty sure a player only needs to be in the organization by Sept 1st, to be eligible for the playoffs, not on the major league roster.

Ken Singleton had nearly the same OBP though, because he had a ton more walks.

I assume he lumped in this morning's two-homer finished contest from last night

Nice editors you got there ESPN

Or… is the recovery never really set in stone. Could he, over the offseason, do a “pitcher-esque” TJ velocity recovery program to get back closer to his 50 arm (if we assume that grade wasn’t BS from the start)? Or is he what he is at this point? The ligament has recovered and this is basically his new normal. I don’t know the answer
