The ST roster crunch is back with addition of Kinsler and the pending returns of Devers and Vazquez at some points in August.
Lin went back to his permanent home in Pawtucket allowing Kinsler a locker. But take a look at the roster as it stands. There are no AAAA'ers left, now that Brasier has earned a spot in the BP .
My guess is that Vazquez is kept on the DL/rehab list all of August, until rosters expand. When Devers is ready to go, probably someone else goes on DL willingly or not. Drew Pomeranz is on stage tonight to try and avoid being DL'ed/DFA'ed for a waiver trade situation. If he pitches well, someone will have to go fo get Devers back. Would DD slow walk Rafael all the way to September also? If not who moves, someone with options ? Will Cora deviate from the 13 pitcher staff and go to 12 ?
And then you have to account for Ed Rodriguez as well. Looks like a busy September .
