Atlanta Braves Charlie Morton Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians Cole Hamels Notes Oliver Drake Philadelphia Phillies Roman Quinn Tampa Bay Rays Terry Francona Yasmani Grandal
Indians supervisor Terry Francona will miss their series against the Pirates to undergo surgery for intestinal problems, Paul Hoynes of cleveland.com passes on. Bench coach Sandy Alomar is managing the group throughout Franconas absence. This is the 2nd treatment Francona has actually gone through in the previous month to resolve the issue. MLBTR wants him a quick recovery and intends to see him back in the Cleveland dugout as rapidly as possible.
Phillies center fielder Roman Quinn received clearance to come off the COVID-19 hurt list Tuesday, Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer was among those to report. Quinn went to the IL this past weekend after experiencing mild symptoms, though he didnt check favorable for the virus then. His newest test came back negative, enabling him to rejoin the team.
The White Sox are hopeful that catcher Yasmani Grandal will return “by the end of the week,” according to manager Rick Renteria (by means of Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times). Grandal exited the teams video game Monday with a stiff back.
Hurt Rays right-hander Charlie Morton came out of an “intense bullpen session” unharmed, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes. Reliever Oliver Drake will start a throwing program as he works back from the right biceps tendinitis that forced him to the IL on Aug. 9.
Braves supervisor Brian Snitker stated Tuesday that left-hander Cole Hamels is still “a little methods” from tossing off a mound, Mark Bowman of MLB.com tweets. The Braves remain enthusiastic Hamels will pitch this year, but times obviously of the essence with the routine season due to end in late September. Hamels was a headline-grabbing offseason signing for the Braves, however the triceps muscles injury he has actually dealt with might stop the pending totally free agent from ever pitching for them.

Braves supervisor Brian Snitker mentioned Tuesday that left-hander Cole Hamels is still “a little ways” from tossing off a mound, Mark Bowman of MLB.com tweets. The Braves stay confident Hamels will pitch this year, however times clearly of the essence with the regular season due to end in late September. Hamels was a headline-grabbing offseason signing for the Braves, but the triceps muscles injury he has dealt with may stop the pending totally free representative from ever pitching for them.
