Precautionary maybe?

 

Regardless it sure sounds like it's Kela

is he the closer?

[Beakman 680]

Yeesh.  Kela would be the clear cut add and now this shoulder issue.  Claudio had the 8th inning tonight, with Leclerc before him.

So is Bush out?

So this is twice the Texas closer has gone into the tank and the next guy up has been hurt

Welcome back, Bud Norris.

If Kela is out (and shoulder soreness doesn't sound good), I think it'll be Leclerc. Claudio is a lefty specialist type and Leclerc has the stuff that would typically translate well to closing.

So Fernando Rodney pulled a .000 BABIP in June.

 

Not sure if I've ever seen that before.

a 1.55 WHIP is so bad. I'd be shocked if he gets the next save opp. If kela is healthy he'll get it

Texas is two games under .500 in fourth place. Their starting pitching sucks . I think Bush gets one more chance to prove himself. Texas really has nothing to lose . They aren't making the playoffs.

they could make the playoffs. two games out of WC, they could make a run.

[motown magic 736]

his WHIP is bad period and he still gets save opportunities

Not the A's or Nats,but not a good situation for fantasy.

[B&F 875]

FML.  

I picked up Kela 2 months ago.  Now the closer spot is ripe for the taking and he is hurting.  

It could be minor but a DL stint is likely.  Chapman just had a shoulder issue and he is back.

I remember the trainers going out to Kela in the WAS series (last week?). He's definitely been pitching through something for a while.

I did last night. I think he's a must-add in competitive formats right now. 

[street sharks 3,235]

I'm just in disbelief the second Bush has a real good shot at losing his role to Kela, Kela is freaking hurt
