Another day, another reliever hokey-pokey.
It’s good news on both fronts - Nick Vincent is back, which strengthens the recently-struggling bullpen immeasurably, and Ryan Cook gets a little bit of a Tacoma respite after being Stanton-ed on earlier this week. Cook started out strong when he was brought up on May 17, allowing a single hit in his first five outings. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to maintain that success, and in his subsequent six appearances he gave up at least one run per outing. The most shocking part of this move is simply that the 30-year-old Cook, who has appeared at the MLB level at various points throughout six seasons, still has options left.
