He’ll then have to build back up and basically go through Spring Training again. He will be shut down from throwing until his forearm heals. Braves said, “Fried’s MRI didn’t create any concern about possibly needing a second TJ surgery. Max Fried – Hit the IL with a forearm strain.

*stands thumbtacks upright, bangs head into thumbtacks* Dropped Mervis minutes before his call-up to grab Jake Bauers, like a giant idiot, then dropped Jake Bauers two days ago, like a farkin’ icehole. Jake Bauers – 1-for-2, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer. “Coming up next on Schmotato or Everyday Fantasy Player…Gleyber’s hit four homers in four days this year, and two homers the rest of the time.” Gleyber Torres – 2-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 6th homer, and 2nd homer in two days. Shame I went for JP Sears yesterday and his stupid two-start week! I think it was Debbie’s from Accounting.”Ĭlarke Schmidt – 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 5.35. Kevin from ESPN’s “Get Him In Your Lineup” Department said, “I had soup for lunch. His wife was on Twitter clapping back at people saying anything bad about Rodon, because she can’t clap on his back.Īaron Judge – 0-for-3, 1 run, 2 RBIs as he was activated from the IL. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Ĭarlos Rodon – Received a cortisone injection in his back in hopes of throwing this weekend. He could also just be finding himself like Jason Bourne or that guy on The Citadel, a blatant rip-off of Jason Bourne.

He could sneak into a 15-17 homer season, but being in Oakland won’t help. That might be selling his power short, and his batting average high. I’ve said previously Jordan Diaz is like a poor man’s Luis Arraez. Jordan’s homer comes a day after MJ’s homer. Jordan Diaz has done the impossible! He’s made Grey talk about basketball - kinda! Yesterday, Diaz went (3-for-4, 4 RBIs) with three homers, his 2nd, 3rd and 4th. It’s a Shruggle! He gave him the Shruggle! The patented “Who knew I was this good?” and rounds the bases. Jordan looks at the fallen Ehlo, “Was it that good of a head fake?” He sets himself, and goes up, up, up, - that’s three ups - and the ball is soaring, soaring, soaring - that’s three soarings - and SWISH! SWISH SWISH! That’s three swishes! Right into the…bleachers? Jordan Diaz shrugs at Ehlo. Jordan steps behind the three point line, head fakes Ehlo, who sails past him, tumbling to the half-court line.
