From Roch's blog:

"Ryan Mountcastle is on the bench, where he also began last night’s game before pinch-hitting. An explanation will come later."

If he's been hurting or ill lately, why wouldn't Roch already know?

He probably does and is just being dramatic

Well sometimes guys wake up with something. Mounty did bust it down to 1B trying to beat out a grounder yesterday. Who knows, maybe something got sore. Or maybe he woke up with vertigo. 

It's fun to think it's a trade though. It's not likely but there's enough intrigue to make it a tiny possibility.

That is a strange lineup on a few different levels.

[Malike]

Heaney.

We could have brought Mayo to play 1st vs a lefty.  I know everyone would love that.  Surprised they didn’t put Urias at 1st that way to drive up his trade value.

Hope Mountcastle is OK. Would really suck for him to get injured when he should be on track to start in the All Star Game. Hopefully precautionary with the series W already in the books.

If it’s more than a day it could be Mayo’s time.

They just showed a stat in the pregame show that Santander has hit 13 home runs in June.  Is that true?  Wow he is tearing it up.

Shouldn’t they report on Mountcastle?

Don't think this is a factor honestly. Hyde doesn't really do reverse splits and Mounty has big small sample numbers off Heaney.

I wasn't referencing Mounty at all. I don't speculate on things, I wait for facts.

Gotcha, my bad, misunderstood your post.

This isn't the NFL, the gambling community hasn't bothered to force MLB teams to give injury reports yet.

Also, national broadcast doesn't know or care about lineup minutiae like this.
