Bringing up Livan instead of Mayo is an absolute joke.

How many more days until another Mayo promotion keeps him under 45 service days and rookie eligible for 2025?

I believe Mayo earned 13 days of service, and thus could get 31 more without losing rookie status.  August 29 would be the earliest he could be called up and be short of 45 days even if he remains on the roster until the end of the season.  

I think hoping for a ROY award and thus an extra draft pick next year would be a poor reason to keep him down now, though.   If the service issue is the only reason to keep Mayo down, then just bring him up now and send him back when Mountcastle comes off the IL.  And, I think the ROY possibility is remote enough where it’s not worth playing that game.

He is at 13 days now so he has 31 days he can use.  I expect he is back up by the Rockies series and stays the rest of the way as the extra guy in September.

They're probably more influenced by the fact he didn't look like a major league 3b and he hit .059 with a 50% K rate.

Why is Kjserstad forgotten?

? He's done for the year with lingering concussion issues.

They probably are adding him as the extra guy in September so he would be on the roster the rest of the way.  You bring him up now and have to send him back he has to stay down 10 days.  I expect they prefer the couple days now then the 10 days in September.

I have to say, Emmanuel Rivera was not impressive defensively at either 1B or 3B yesterday. If that’s what we’re going to get from him defensively, I’d rather let Mayo cut his teeth.

You might be right, but it seems a pretty big ask to throw a rookie into a pennant race like this and ask him to outperform even a AAAA type.

I had heard it was supposed to be Mayo, but I wonder if the trip to the play the Dodgers on the West Coast had anything to do with it?    

 

As much as I am a favor of bringing him up and playing him every day, I wonder if they are weary of playing 3 rookies in the middle of a pennant race isn’t best. I personally 1000% disagree because Mayo can’t be much worse than Rivera or Soto.

So they play with a short bench and he ends up on the IL anyway.

That was useful.

Get well soon Ryan.

The way they utilize the roster is concerning.

I hope HK will be fine for Spring Training.  Before that,  I hope he can rebound and have a great long life health wise.

Soto? I know the team is facing RHP against the Dodgers, but it's not like Soto has any kind of a track record of being able to hit on the MLB level. I guess the good news id O'Hearn can start all three games at 1B.

He didn’t just struggle he looked incompetent at every facet of the game. 
 

Since going down on 8/15 he’s 6 for 21 (2 XBH) 3 BB & 8 K (33%).  Not terrible, but not setting the world on fire.  
 

I think he has a little work to do at the plate and a lot of work to do in the field before they bring him back.  I don’t think he’s in the playoff plans.

Is he getting reps at first?
