Bit busy today, so it’s all Jack. :) But there’s a lot to discuss, so that’s okay.
Torey Lovullo pre-game briefing
- Robbie Ray: MRI was clean, no recurrence of last year’s oblique injury. Simply back spasms. No cause identified. Not expected to need to be on IL more than 10 days. They just didn’t want him trying to push through a bullpen in between starts this week while receiving treatment at same time. Ray said if it were game 163 he would push through it.
- Jon Duplantier: He’s here to throw out of the bullpen, along with Stefan Chrichton, as bullpen is fatigued after the Colorado series.
