    So, hasn't Eovaldi already been out almost 60 days?

    I'm hopeful Wright can be helpful. The suspension may have helped him not rush the knee recovery. Velazquez & Johnson have not done well in long relief or spot starts. Maybe Wright can be a big improvement in that area.

    So the 60 day IL designation does not actually indicate a further setback in Nate's strong but troubled arm ?

    It's just a move to open a spot on the 40 man roster . Haven't heard any update on Eovaldi in the past few days .

    Needed to open a spot on the 40 man roster...

    Yes, putting Eovaldi on the 60 day (retroactive to 66 days ago) just prolongs the 40 man roster choice needed to be made.

    The upcoming 25 man roster moves are more interesting and problematic.

    Players expected back at some point:

    Thornburg (no options)
    DFA/Trade or replace Shawaryn

    Hembree (no options)
    Replace Josh Taylor or Johnson (out of options)

    Velazquez
    Replace Johnson (out of options) or keep in AAA

    Eovaldi
    Replace Johnson (out of options- trade), Brewer or DFA Thornburg

    Moreland (no options)
    Replace Marco Hernandez or trade/DFA Nunez

    Pearce (no options)
    Trade/DFA or replace Nunez (trade/DFA)

    Lin
    Keep in AAA

    Wright will probably be helpful.

    That said, I'm not happy about his return.

    I don’t know how helpful he can be. He has never been the same since.... Well you know.

    As for his personal life missteps, I think that baseball and the law have a process to impose punishment. After they pay the penalty, they shouldn’t be denied the ability to practice their trade.
