The Orioles and Blue Jays are playing.  How key could the situation possibly be?

Maybe, but is Wynns the guy you want up there with a righty on the mound and nobody warming? I'd rather see Sisco, among others.

My memory is that Wynns is a career reverse-split hitter. Let me look it up:

Yep, OPS .714 vs. RHP, .462 vs. LHP. 5 homers in 110 ABs vs. RHP.

Sisco career vs. RHP: .703.

Hooray!  Now we can stop rooting for the Orioles to lose.

We have 42 guys on the 40 man roster right now counting the two guys on 60 day IL who return to the roster in the off-season.  We probably have 7-8 guys we will add to the 40 man to protect from Rul 5.  So that's 49-50.  That means 9 or 10 guys have to go.  Trumbo is one, and let's assume for now that Davis isn't.

That's 7-8 guys who will be culled in the next 70 days or so.

Is Ynoa one of the 7 or 8 most expendable guys?  I'd say he probably is.  Not in the top 2 or 3 like Blach and Eades and Tayler Scott.  But he's 26, over 160 innings in the majors, and hasn't shown all that much.

I don't think anyone will be shocked if he is cut in November.

That’s an excellent comment, And I agree. I really don’t think anybody is going to be claiming guys off our waiver wire anyway

Blach was already DFA'ed.

Speaking of which, I don't think we have ever seen the guy they claimed in his place at all.

Yeah they initially said that guy would join the team but a day or two later they said he wouldn't
