Trevor Story Headed To Red Sox's Injured List

So now we’ll see if Mayer gets moved to SS. If he does it says something, but if he doesn’t it says even more.

Gotta wonder if this is a phantom IL type move to give him a chance to regroup while opening up a roster slot for Sogard.

Funny, I had just mentioned promoting Sogard as yet another dice roll.

Could the next call-up be Capra?

He'd need to be added to the 40 (DFA Cheng?) but why not try a hot hand?

AAA in May

.959 Ward

.952 Sogard

.943 Seigler

.847 Capra

Give yourself a pat on the back, but it was already mentioned a couple of days ago by other posters to bring up Sogard, or Eaton.

If he doesn’t move there, it might just mean they expect Story back relatively soon and they won’t be re-arranging anyone in the meantime.

And the article does blatantly say Monasterio is likely to get the bulk of the SS playing time while Story is out…

Capra is 29 years old with a career .369 OPS in MLB.  Unless the goal is to make everyone else feel better about their numbers,  no way they promote Capra.

But Ward!! I mean why is his .474 OBP still in AAA?  Why did Breslow trade for this guy if he’s not going to use him instead of other players whose offensive talents right now are such that they couldn’t hit the ground if the jumped off a cliff?
