I think it's horrible timing because Javy seemed to have worked out his issues at the plate and was primed to be promoted this week. Between his early season demotion, sister passing way and now the injury, you just hope there are no longer-term effects. This reminds me a little of the Olt situation, although he was a few years older. Trying to stay optimistic, but this shit is so Cub. Very frustrating.

The timing sucks, for sure.  We need to make those protective hand sleeve things mandatory.

I feel like if he made his way back from his sisters death like he did, he will be just fine after this (assuming the finger heals properly).

Jacob Turner starting for AA Smokies on a rehab assignment.   Just hit 95 with his last fastball.  Do we think he'll compete with Wada/Hendricks or are they going to use him in the pen?

More great news, White Sox pitching prospect Francellis Montas tossed a 7 inning no-hitter today against the Smokies.

I didn't even know he could dial it up that high.

Schwarber has gone yard in the second game today. Also, almora with 2 doubles last time I checked.

[Runnys]

Anyone know why Schwarber was taken out of the game?

He replaced Contreras not the other way around, I believe.

[funkster]

I think you're right.

[Runnys]

Oh, okay

[Auz]

So why was Contreras taken out?

I hope he wasn't promoted before Schwarber.

I hope he wasn't promoted before Schwarber.

 

I doubt it as there is a log jam of catchers at Iowa at the moment.

Underwood with another 7 shutout innings. ERA down to 1.85. He has to be in line for a promotion to TN shortly after the AS break.
