Good on Phillies POBO Dave Dombrowski for bringing his head athletic trainer along with him to explain a very complex medical diagnosis to the assembled media. https://t.co/6G46ES1C1I

the Phillies must just have to follow a different CBA than the Astros. I don't know. It's weird.

radio crew mentioning Stroud in the Mariners' cap

Get Jesus and Victor ready

Altuve homerun! Finally broke his slump… Earned himself a scheduled day off tomorrow

Assume we strike up the band

I bet Carlos get the day off

Get Pena, Jake, and Yordan back and should be good. Next step for Yordan after taking live ABs with "no issues" should be a rehab assignment in Sugar Land.


LF/DH Yordan Alvarez
Injury: Right hand fracture
IL date: May 5 (transferred to 60-day IL on July 2)
Expected return: TBD
Status: Alvarez took eight at-bats during live batting practice in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Aug. 16 with no issues, and he will fly to Houston to determine the next steps. (updated Aug. 16)

CF Jake Meyers
Injury: Right calf strain
IL date: July 11 (10-day IL)
Expected return: August
Status: Meyers is working out in West Palm Beach and is increasing his volume running and swinging the bat, and he will start doing some defensive work soon. He's getting close to game action. (updated Aug. 12)

Didn't Carlos just get a day off Wednesday?

Just awful stuff from Sousa

I think that pitch might have found the absolute middle middle of the plate

The ole leadoff walk hurts you trick.

3rd batter

No outs

Dang that was just an awful, awful pitch.

walk would have been better , but also the check swing call was questionable.

Maybe don't walk the first guy

Sousa hasn't gotten anybody out

approaching 20 pitches

Funny that this game never seemed in doubt until now.

Well shoot

Joe go get him
