He did pitch better in his last outing as well. Maybe, he’s improving??? What do you do here? 2.Esmerlyn Valdez with another home run – also Jared Jones looked great in his Saturday afternoon win against the Guards. You have to bear in mind the competition, but he did look very good. Thoughts on him for the ROS and long-term. a.Speaking of the Pirates, they promoted Khristian Curtis to be the bulk guy on Saturday night’s DH game. He was great and while his minor league season was a bit uneven – great in Double-A, so-so in Triple-A, he’s got good stuff. i.Does he get more chances this season? 3.Brandon Woodruff is undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. This is not good as he’s had multiple shoulder surgeries over the past few years and just can’t seem to get healthy. In response, the Brewers acquired Lance McCullers from the Astros. Talk about somebody who can’t stay healthy. a.Thoughts on the McCullers? b.Do you think this is the Brewers “Big Move”, or will they do something else? 4.Stud updates a.Jose Ramirez is getting close and might skip a rehab assignment. b.Ronald Acuna should be ready to return sometime this upcoming week. c.Max Fried will have a rehab start this week d.Aaron Judge doesn’t appear close e.Will Smith might be back sometime late next month.
