Davies to 10 day DL (right rotator cuff inflammation)

[markedman5]

They say only 1 start will be missed

 

 

So Suter or Woodruff on Saturday?

[Greenleaf1]

Guessing Woodruff gets the start, but maybe they let Suter do it and call up an extra bat.

[Greenleaf1]

Just saw that they're just moving guys up a day since we have the day off today (and Monday), so not sure if we actually need a 5th starter.

 

I don't think Logan is ready to be activated by tomorrow, so maybe someone like Choi?

[markedman5]

Taking advantage of the off day......if bumping Chacin up is taking advantage.....

 

[Greenleaf1]

They'll need a 5th starter again next Saturday the 12th, so Davies should be ready to go by then.

brandon woodruff would meet the 10-day minimum stay by 12 may. the only other way he could be recalled prior to that would be to coincide with a disabled list move (such as the davies transaction made today). the increase in the number of off-days is really boosting the club's roster flexibility.

[liveforoctober]

Obviously not ideal but if he has a tweak of anything ... good idea to just miss the one start and use the off days to 'expand' the roster.

 

Woodruff makes a lot of sense for the 12th and I'm kind of hoping they grab another LHB to have on the bench until then. Sogard and Phillips just aren't the best options right now. Just because I like the kid I am secretly hoping it is Choi.

[Boomer5]

Glad this is minor. I was think oh no when I first saw the news.

[CrewFanBrewMan69]

I'll believe when I see it that he only misses one start. Rotator cuff injuries can be serious.

[Outlander]

Yep, with the off days this works perfectly for the Brewers but still gets me a little nervous because of the rotator cuff.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Nervous about the rotator cuff too, but found it odd how direct the team's quotes were. Not "you never know, but we hope it is only one start" or "one start for now and then we'll see" but pretty much just "we're going to skip one start, and he'll be fine."

 

Maybe I am reading too much into it, but it seems odd to set expectations at one missed start if you think there is even a chance he'll miss more.

[JohnBriggs12]

I'll believe when I see it that he only misses one start. Rotator cuff injuries can be serious.

 

They can also be very minor. Rotation depth and breaks in schedule allow them to let guys skip a start here and there to preserve them for the long haul. I suspect that's what they're doing here.

[JohnBriggs12]

I'm guessing Jorge Lopez returns to take the roster spot.

Taking advantage of the off day......if bumping Chacin up is taking advantage.....

 

It could be considered an advantage to not put any of the SP off pace. It doesn't require an immediate starting arm callup.

[markedman5]

Lopez recalled

[djoctagone]

davies threw a bullpen session yesterday. no word yet if he's not recovered from his injury or not.

[markedman5]

Not good

 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Davies threw bullpen yesterday. Any word on how it went?

 

Guessing he will need a rehab start at this point.

[MillerParkSouth]

Rehab start on Saturday for Wisconsin. Would line him up to take Peralta's turn next week, which would be very underwhelming.

[TigerUppercut]

Totally. Why would we want to go with the proven guy?

To me, it would be disappointingly because Peralta should stay in the lineup until both Davies and Anderson are back and either Suter or Woodruff be sent down or to the pen (my preference to suter moving to the pen). When both Davies & Anderson are back, then make the choice I Peralta or the other starter (Woodruff/suter) to go down.

[pacopete4]

Just keep the bum on the DL.

[djoctagone]

rehab start tomorrow for davies with the timber rattlers.

[YelichPosse]

Let's see if he makes it through the start first before we worry about who's spot he takes... lol... remember he wasn't even going to be DL'd at first for this injury ....

 

I agree 100% that the "deserves to stay" standings are

 

1. Peralta

2. Woody

3. Suter

Let's see how Peralta does in start 2 and how Suter does tonight and then line them up. Woodruff had a nice bounce back outing but right now the D-Backs are putting a very weak lineup on the field. No offense as he had the winning hit the other night, but if Descalso is your #3 hitter, you have problems.
