So is the assumption that Garcia goes on the DL to clear the roster spot for Wright?

According to Buck, in Roch's latest blog, they have a possible medical situation with Garcia that will be checked out tomorrow and Wright is being brought to Baltimore in case Garcia has to be DL'd.

He's done a decent job this year holding them to a .238 BAVG and a 1.33 WHIP. The changeup should allow him to be fairly effective against lefties. His fastball command will dictate his success though. If he's improved it enough to hit his spots or if a velocity spike occurs due to shorter innings then he'll be fine. I kinda like him in the 6th/7th/8th inning role. I'm interested in seeing how he looks now since I haven't seen him personally since Bowie.

1.33 WHIP isn't any great shakes. Especially at AAA.

      Walking the first three guys you see when you nave an 11-0 lead is pretty offensive.  The one thing you have to do in a game like that is make the other team swing the bat.  Throw strikes and make the other guys earn their way on base.  It’s Baseball 101.

      None of our outfielders are on any kind of heater. None are even close to all star conversation. Stowers has had a few good games and sure, he deserves more looks. He gives Hyde current options. We are winning and I expect Hyde will mix and match further to see if he can get Mullins, Santander, and Hays going. Would be nice if Cowser would be more consistant also. Both Mullins and Hays have shown signs. Santander if he ever gets going could carry the team. It's scary to think how good this team could be if the outfield started to click. June will be telling.

      I think Stowers development is happening just is time. The O's have 30 games in 31 days coming up.  That is the grind.   And with Santander, Mullins, Hays, Cowser and Stowers ability to start in the outfield and at DH the O's should be ready to withstand the fouls off the foot, the pains from the dives and hitting the wall every now and then.   For me it's not about is there enough playing time.  Its with the injuries, bumps and bruises is there enough time to rest.

      Do you think anyone really cares which minor league player we gave up for the pitcher currently on the major league roster who we never want to see take the mound?

      One opinion on the extent of his success - BP refreshed its dynasty rankings recently, which mesh quality and years of control for gamers in somewhat the same way as we care about here. The three Top 100 MLB-wide players who were 100+ spot climbers in the first third of 2024 were Westburg, Jared Jones and Mason Miller. Royce Lewis, Bryson Stott and Oneil Cruz are the other infielders near him.
