Playoff scenarios for the complex teams:
FCL: 5 games left. Down by 2 games to the Rays for the FCL South Division title. Up on the Mets by 3 games and Pirates by 4.5 games for the Wild Card.
DSL Blue: clinched the DSL North Division title on Monday.
DSL Red: 6 games left. Seven teams ahead of them for the two wild card spots. Two games back from the Phillies Red for the second wild card spot.

Uberstine to the IL. YPA can go on regular rest.
Hearing there might be some pitching movement. Stay tuned...
Also Ryan Fernandez right back to the IL after one outing coming off of the IL. Not a great sign.

Bleis going to return to the lineup today?

Before anyone freaks about Eybersson Polanco going 6 (or whatever he winds up with) today, it was a continued game and the first three innings were before they got called due to rain.

Bleis going to return to the lineup today? The answer to that question is "no". He's once again out of the lineup. |

Looks like Tyler Esplin's rehab has been stalled. He hasn't played since 8/11 either (and he's still in Fort Myers, per his IG). Some other observations:
- Cutter Coffey getting his second start at 3B after being (presumably) a defensive replacement at SS, a DH start, and 3 starts at 2B.
- Anthony in LF (starts: CF/RF/CF/DH/LF/DH/LF)
- They still haven't fixed having Isaac Coffey at SS or Miguel Bleis entering as a DR at 1B in recent box scores, which is kind of killing me.
- I'm also going to guess we get some more RP debuts today after getting Rogers, Landry, and Bolden on Tuesday.

Paxton’s day is done after 0.2 innings. That can’t be good.

"Injury delay"

I was interested in Paxton when they signed the deal but being an extremely injury prone guy and his rehab taking this long and on top of all that being lifted after 2/3 an inning due to an injury. I understand and was mostly for the deal at the time as a decent low risk/high reward play and I'm probably rushing my opinion before finding out what the injury is but that's about it for me, decline that option save the money for someone more reliable and call it a day.

Yeah, I'm thinking they're probably not going to be picking up that two-year option.

I dunno what the point is in judging the situation without much information. There's still 8 months before 2023 opening day. Maybe he has a torn labrum and it's the end of the line, or maybe he's dealing with minor dings and should be ready to go in spring training.

Fair enough but in my mind in order to pick up his option if I'm the Sox I wanted to see him in rehab starts and making it through the remainder of this season unscathed if I'm picking up that option for 13 Mil a year. He's now pitched a grand total of 2 innings since 2021. Is 13 million a year a ton of money? Nope but it's enough that it could make a difference to the 2023 squad. But correct maybe it's something small and just a minor issue that'll work itself out and he'll be able to be back out there in a week or two and continuing his rehab. |

Hard to imagine they'd pick up a $13 million option without his pitching a single major league inning this year, if it comes to that.
But I wonder if he would pick up the $4 million player option?

That said, if this is something that ends his season, it's hard to imagine the team picking up a $13 million option if he doesn't throw any major league innings this year. |

Possible, I probably wouldn't if I was them but I guess I'm jumping to a conclusion and shall wait to hear what the diagnosis is before I fully say it's time to let him go. Maybe it's just some scar tissue or something. I know it's not apples to oranges but I had knee surgery and for a little while afterwards I'd kind of tweak it and it'd hurt like a bitch but then a day or two later it was fine and was just some cartilage and scar tissue working itself out. |

He has a $4m player option if the team declines its option. They'd need to make it worth his while on top of that. What I'm wondering is at what point his AAV is calculated - if they sign him NOW to a two-year extension that's guaranteed, I wonder if they can chop a good bit off his AAV for this year. Right now, he's $10M AAV for 2022. If you guarantee him like, $3m/year for 2023 and 2024, would that make him $4m AAV? |

Alvaro Mejias (listed as a probable up top) now hasn't pitched since 8/2.

Lat tightness is a nice diagnosis to keep us having no idea if it's a big deal or not a big deal

I am told by someone who was there and would know the players that Bleis did in fact come into that game. He doesn't really believe it either, but he saw it. |
