anybody got odds on Boston not to make the playoffs? That is a sinking ship if i've ever seen one

leans:
alcantara despite the woeful MIA road trip and his poor performance @ COL

GIBSONK lots of bullpen used today, LAD hasn't been pushing theirs to make b2b appearances though if the regression fairy arrives GIBSONK is one of the most likely candidates. PHI pen looks scary in comparison, though it's stabilized a bit. Still not good enough though

miley tough one tonight, CIN bullpen still very tough to trust though Sims return can finally get Hembree into lower leverage spots. Winker sat tonight, he's been far better vs RHP and TOUSSAINT looks like he got a ton of respect from two starts when he arrived and we'll see if he can keep it going. Smith has been shaky, but worse pen is hard to back here unless we're sure pitch-to-contact miley exits with a lead

fleming since TB had to come back from a 4-2 deficit since i didn't back them tonight. Barnes is out of gas, bottom of the order has holes in their bats and the rest of the bullpen is a question while TB just picks up guys off the scrap heap who pitch clean innings. fleming has done enough the L2 years to deserve to be a starter, EOVALDI blowing leads in both of his last two starts looks like he's running on empty, too

not even sure Sale can help the sinking ship in Boston.

still not sure what's happening with these IP limits on Skooby and Mize but that over has to be in play again in Baltimore.

Agree on Gibson

Waino can fool the youngster in Pitt, so not sure if I want to feed into the over temptation

Over in SF

gotta love Jays Tt over today

Fernando Tatis Jr. was placed on the injured list 10 days ago, and it seemed as though the Padres star was perhaps closer to a season-ending surgery on his bothersome shoulder than a return to the field. Now, however, it looks as if Tatis has once again recovered enough from his latest shoulder issue that he’ll be able to get back into San Diego’s lineup, and a new position appears to be in the works.

Rather than take any grounders at his normal shortstop position, Tatis has instead been working out as an outfielder, with Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune writing that the Padres are planning to shift Tatis between center field and right field when he returns from the 10-day IL. Tatis took batting practice on the field yesterday, so if he continues to progress well, it seems like he might not be far away from yet another fairly quick recovery from what seemed to be a serious injury.

While surgery seems inevitable, Tatis and the Padres hope that the procedure can wait until after the season, and the move to the outfield will theoretically help reduce wear-and-tear on Tatis’ shoulder in the interim. There doesn’t appear to be any concern over how Tatis will be able to handle the position change from a defensive standpoint, as Padres outfield coach Wayne Kirby had rave reviews of Tatis’ workouts.
