Bryce Harper has an out of doors likelihood to be able to throw (and play proper area) in August after a small tear in his UCL was confirmed late final week. It’s clearly a worrisome scenario, although Harper took off offensively instantly upon listening to the analysis, delaying his PRP injection a pair days to dominate the Dodgers over the weekend earlier than lacking video games versus the Padres. (He clearly determined he didn’t wish to miss the Dodgers.)
Harper might trend a second straight MVP from the DH spot, however a questionable Philadelphia protection turns into that a lot iffier when one in all its higher defenders can’t play the sector.
Brandon Nimmo appears like a possible match as a free agent for the Phillies, who took again Odubel Herrera as a result of they couldn’t discover anybody higher. After all, Steve Cohen isn’t straightforward to bid in opposition to. Anyway, Nimmo is incomes himself some huge cash together with his efficiency this yr.
Jarred Kelenic’s demotion appeared suspiciously well-timed, coming because it did with the Mariners embarking on their uncommon journey to Queens, the place he would have confronted a query barrage. In any case, he earned the demotion, having batted .140 this yr and .173 over precisely a yr within the bigs. … One scout opined Seattle’s strategies didn’t assist Kelenic, 22. The M’s approach, in accordance with the scout, is: “Attempt to hit every thing within the air, pull every thing, don’t fear concerning the strikeouts,” earlier than including, “That child was only a actually good hitter, used the entire area, battled with two strikes. They satisfied him to simply hit for energy, and it messed him up.” …
I’ll repeat: the Kelenic-Robinson Cano-Edwin Diaz commerce was received by the Mets. The Amazin’s have 3.6 WAR and a bona fide nearer, the M’s a minus-0.2 WAR and a puzzle. … A worse commerce for the Mariners: Pablo Lopez to the Marlins for David Phelps. Sooner or later, the M’s have to cease churning. The one document they're setting is for variety of trades. … Scouts do love Mariners rookie RHP George Kirby (Rye HS).
