While several are projected to return to the big league club in the weeks following the break, general manager Mike Rizzo's assessment of his team in the weeks leading up to the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline is based on the pieces that are still in the puzzle.
"We can't dwell on them not being here," Rizzo said. "We're not thinking and talking about the guys that we don't have. We're thinking and talking about the guys that are here and playing for us. Those are the important guys. The Werths and the Rendons and the Zims and the Strases, those are guys that have their own jobs to do right now, and that's to rehab and get healthy and help us down the stretch.
