Any word this guy does/doesn't play tonight due to the wrist?

Pitches tonight and wishing him luck. If you're a BIG metrics guy Pivetta is golden, though we're still very early into the season.

Intriguing player is Joey Wendle. Plays 2B with the Rays and he's hitting well. I don't know the whole story with him, if there is one, far as playing time etc..But if nothing else, keep an eye on this guy for now, anyway...

You may be on to something here. Doesn't seem too serious at this point, but Blackmon sat out yesterday with back soreness.

I would assume so, if Dahl is healthy. But for now he's trying to get back on the field.

Eaton (ankle) said that he felt "great" and is hopeful to play in Sunday's series finale against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. Eaton was expectedly held out of Saturday's lineup after suffering an ankle injury during Thursday's loss. The outfielder went on to say that he will ultimately defer to manager Davey Martinez and the Nationals' training staff regarding his availability this weekend, but his optimism implies that a disabled stint is unlikely. Consider him day-to-day.

Probably comes out and says it is a committee, even though he knows who he wants in the closer role. I'm praying BIG time it is Hader. It is possible though unlikely due to Hader's value in so many roles in the bullpen, plus you have to at least ponder the Brew Crew's plans for Hader as a starter.

MRI rules out things you don't see with an x-ray. Many times how do you know how bad something is when it comes to an injury, considering last season's injury, it is more of a rather be safe than sorry type thing, IMO....The table setter, for one of the best offense in MLB, and considering Eaton's hot start, and of course he's a million dollar investment. Now, very possible you don't hear about the MRI until after the fact wouldn't surprise me. Don't want to start scaring everyone, causing the media and fans to start over speculating...IN other words, you bring up he's having a MRI that can cause a lot more questions and some may start to panic.

I'm sure MRI comes tomorrow - pray and keep the faith. *fingers crossed*

Wow! Dead wrong on that, huh? Thanks for correcting me. All is good.

Been looking for your post. I was hoping you hadn't split for good. Glad to see you're still around. I say we keep our fingers crossed Manaea can stay healthy and this may be that special season.

Rolling with Ray, too. Away from Chase and hoping to catch Wainwright rusty....Reason I even mention the Ray start is some are already discussing the dip in velocity. Some of these guys will get that extra MPH when the sun is closer to earth....:

Tough one for my boy today. Good luck deGrom and Mets!

Hoskins is a stud! Man!

IMO, underrated.

^ Very good information. Thanks!
