Will be interesting to see who they bring up. Lopes has started at LF/CF/RF/3B/SS/2B in Nashville and should be good to go but believe he has to wait a couple more days to get to 60 days on the IL. Maybe bring up Hernan since they have room on the 40 man or the recently acquired Jake Hager who is already on the 40 man.

The risk with Green is a 39% strikeout rate in AAA this year, and lower but still in the mid-30s in previous years. That's not the kind of profile that carries over the same kind of production as you move up to MLB. Hager has mashed in AAA so far this year and is already on the 40-man, seems like a sensible option to cover for a short IL stint. Don't make roster moves if you don't have to, we saw during the injury crisis that those spots can become precious.

 

EDIT: Of course, since it's an injury replacement, then Tyrone Taylor would be an option too if they feel like the 6 infielders they've got is enough to get by with.

"The risk with Green is a 39% strikeout rate" Hiura's rate was 34% at Nashville and they decided his other numbers were so good that he was ready to come back. Green didn't play at all last year. That could be a reason his rate is up slightly from the 33% rate in 2019

 

Green has one HR in every 11.4 PA at AAA since 2019. That's 32 in 366 PA. I'm guessing if he had 104 major league PA (as Hiura does now), he'd have quite a few more HR than the one Hiura has.

The fact that Hiura is struggling at MLB level with his slightly lower strikeout rate should be an argument againt Green, not for. And if he's potentially struggling due to missing 2020, then keep him in AAA and see what's what. 2019 AAA was one of the most extreme hitter-friendly environments ever, counting stats from that year are almost pointless. Minor league stats need context when trying to translate them to MLB. Adding him to the 40-man to cover for a 10-day IL stint doesn't make much sense. Maybe you audition him if Hiura continues to struggle and goes down again, assuming they haven't traded for someone first, but now would not be the time.
