Wells goes back on IL

[Sports Guy]

Shoulder issues are always scary.

Tough guy to rely on.

This is a shame. I think he was in line to start Wednesday in Boston when I’ll be at Fenway. I guess this means I’ll have to see Watkins?  Ugh. 
 

To be clear it’s a shame for Wells too LOL. 
 

isnt shoulder inflammation what Bradish went down with earlier in the year?  Seems he has recovered fine. Hopefully the same for Tyler, since he’ll have the whole offseason.

I was hoping this would mean a Grayson Rodriguez cup of coffee.

Alas.

[RZNJ]

Bad news but he hasn't seemed quite right from before the 1st trip to the DL and even after he came back.   Hopefully, it's something that clears up with rest and he's 100% ready for ST.     

[eddie83]

Another example of pitching depth. 

[eddie83]

They called him a little early due to need. Shame.

Watkins!!

I'd rather see Baumann get Tyler's innings instead of  Watkins.

Whoever.   Neither is a long term part of our starting rotation.  It’s a shame Grayson hasn’t looked more ready, this would have been a great time to insert him.  But I don’t want him up while he’s struggling to throw 4 IP due to command issues he doesn’t normally have.

Clearly hasn't been right. Hopefully he comes back in Spring Training ready to go.

Agree on Grayson.  Watkins is not a long term starter for the O's but he will be  good depth for next years team beginning the season at AAA.   Baumann is just about ready for his chance at the majors.   I would like to see him get more MLB innings.

That would be fine with me.  I’ve lost track, is he on our 28-man roster right now?

I think he’s more likely a bullpen piece than a starter.   But he can prove me wrong.

So, this is the second time with a shoulder issue in a year or so and 3 IL stints overall.

That doesn’t include the issues before he got here.

I like Watkins, but depending on how these next games go, I think we have to consider pulling the trigger on Grayson. Even if for 4IP. That’s pretty much what Watkins gives us. 
 

But we can roll with Watson and be ok.

Yes, he is on the 28 man roster.  Started the doubleheader game that Gunnar couldn't turn the double plays in. Went 5 innings gave up 3 but it should have been just one with better defense.   He pitched 2 scoreless on the 16th and just pitched 2 and gave up one on Monday vs the Tigers.
