Time to see Diaz on the big club? 

Someone mentioned he wasn't in the lineup today ,but after three games?

Then you put Kremer on the IL.

Not like a oblique strain is something you recover from in a few days like a triceps.

sometimes a tricep strain can take a month

I'm amazed DJ still had options, seems like he has been on the fringe of the team forever

Diaz was not in the lineup today.   Maybe bring him up to start in the field for a few days while Santander gets some rest from playing in the field with the bruised knee.  He didn’t look good running on that groundout.

So it stands to reason they will add a pitcher to the 40 man roster and 28 man roster, as there's a spot on the 40 man and Stewart creates a spot on the 28 man.

Could easily just be Watkins or Ellis. I think it'll be Watkins.

If they add Watkins or Ellis I would imagine that Kremer is going to the IL, so there's another spot.

Probably nothing so dramatic as promoting Diaz.   Probably Spenser Watkins to be the 5th starter.

Yes, Watkins was on the taxi squad in St Pete, so it's likely that he'll be our starter for Tuesday night.

Justin Upton was released around the same time the news came out.

I feel like I should be happy about this but I’m sure the corresponding move will result in someone equally unimpressive being added to the roster. 
 

I doubt it’s the last of Stewart but one can hope.

You hate to see anyone's dream come to an inglorious end...   but it's not like he didn't get a chance.

On a personal level I feel for Stewart. But from a baseball perspective, I never understood why he was on the team in the first place. He doesn't have any skill (run, defense, bat) that says major league. If you're starting Mancini in the OF, you don't have a fourth OF

[Just Regular]

It feels like this might be as simple as Kremer was a bulk guy, and the AAA replacements will be 1-inning guys, so Brandon Hyde's momentary 5-man bench vanishes after one weekend in Tampa.

If you are starting Mancini in the outfield why is McKenna on the roster?

I'd have started McKenna, but I think he slots best as a PR/defensive replacement (and my guess is he'll be used when Mullins or Hays gets a day off)
