Getting added to the 40-man roster is a big deal for a player. Adonis Medina was added last year and Damon Jones was added this offseason. Does it mean they’ll both pitch in Philadelphia? Not necessarily, but the chances of them doing so just went up. Medina especially feels like he’ll be a part of the 2021 team since, as a starter, he’ll be one of the first ones called up in case of injury to a member of the current rotation. There is also the need for Joe Girardi to manage the innings of his starters this year and if one of them feels even the slightest twinge in their elbow, shoulder, oblique, whatever, you can guarantee that a trip to the injured list will be in their future.
