DL him, long rehab, bring him up August 12h and you get your 90 days through the end of the season.

It has been 37 days since Opening Day and there are 34 days between the day rosters expand and the end of the season. So he needs to be off the DL for at least 19 days between now and then.

Or, just bring him back September 1st and let him pick up the 19 days at the beginning of next season. Then, option him out.

There going to be room on the roster after the offseason spending spree?

I mean will there be room for two rule V guys since we know Dan is going to pick another one next winter meetings.

Traded for a TOR starter and a MOO bat.

Excellent. If he is called up and they stretch out Johnson, that means Johnson becomes an option with MLB experience to take Bud's spot in the rotation.

Unless Wright can be beamed to OPACY, there's no reason to announce a move now. Make the move tomorrow, after he arrives.

This. Let him finish his time next year if he must.

Hey, at least you have the Steve Johnson invisiball to look forward to.

I've been told that Duquette is chained to his desk until 2019.

Garcia to the DL and WRight up would dramatically improve the bullpen and club. I hope it happens.

Steve Johnson not as dominating in his spot start than his relief appearances so far....
