Fantasy Baseball Live – June 16, 2024

Segments 1 and 2 – Weekend’s Baseball Games
Additional Notes:
1.Yamamoto – bummer…
2.Michael Harris hits the IL list with a grade-2 hamstring issue. Grade 2 means four weeks or so – maybe longer. Who is the pickup?
3.Kyle Bradish is back on the IL with more elbow inflammation. What do the Orioles do? Chayce McDermott?
4.DJ Herz shoves it on Saturday. I’ve been writing about him for years. He doesn’t throw hard, but it’s also getting a ton of whiffs. The change-up is pretty good. He did get 21 whiffs on 45 swings on Saturday, which is pretty good. It was against the Marlins. Thoughts?
5.The Astros parted ways with Jose Abreu, getting over 50% of this contract. Ouch. Joey Loperfido didn’t get the call, but that could have been because he needs to spend 10 days in Triple-A (unless there is an injury). Is he the guy who eventually takes over?
6.Are you ready to trust Edwin Diaz again?
7.Hunter Brown is starting to look good? Thoughts?
8.Gerrit Cole had a nice Triple-A tune up. 10K in 4.2 IP. Fastball though was off by over 2 MPH. Hmmm.

Segments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend games
Additional Notes:
1.    I’m assuming the International series helps baseball, but the venues leave a lot to be desired.  I think they are playing on a trampoline in London.
2.    Alek Manoah, Christian Javier, and Jose Urquidy all hit the TJ list this week.  Well, Manoah is having surgery, but I haven’t seen the exact surgery yet.  Robert Gasser is on his third opinion on what to do with his UCL team.  Just a PSA
3.    The Braves keep churning through pitchers.  It’s now Hurston Waldrep’s time as Spencer Schwellenbach didn’t work out.
4.    Adael Amador gets the call.  I just saw him in Somerset (Double-A) on Thursday.  Any interest?
5.    Nico Hoerner has a small fracture.  No IL list yet.  If he goes on IL, who gets his playing time?
6.    Kyle Tucker hits the IL, and our buddy Joey Loperfido is recalled.
7.    Juan Soto only has inflammation and looks ok, BUT still is likely to hit the IL.  It makes you wonder if he’s really ok.
8.    Hunter Brown with a good outing and has pitched better of late.
