Here is the injury that epitomizes our management’s failure to provide starting pitching depth on the MLB team and in AAA. Sox have no one ready. 
 

Best options in AAA are Fisher (who started in today’s win) and maybe Davila (who started yesterday). So neither is ready to pitch tomorrow. Yeah Sox. 
 

No one else in AAA has earned it. Stiever has only pitched 4 innings this season. AA Birmingham has Matthew Thompson, but that would be a huge ask this early in his career. 
 

Dumb Hahn…

Lambert?

He has already been overused in the early season and MIGHT be able to go 2 innings max...but then you're still probably better off going with a minor leaguer who could be sacrificed to preserve the pen and perhaps give you 3-4 innings instead.

Tough call, either way.

The thing that sucks is that we're only 2 games behind the Guardians now...but it seems like we're already gifting them a win (to gain back some needed momentum for CLE) after getting creamed by the Mets.

Have to hope the hitters can take down Gaddis and keep things relatively close until the late innings.

Thankfully Rick has amassed substantial pitching depth in AAA. 

Come on man, I know there’s a lot of reason to s%*# on this front office, but let’s be fair here — you don’t go into a season expecting one pitcher to end up injured. No could have seen that coming, it’s not like teams can realistically plan for that kind of randomness

The majority of teams in baseball are now on their 7th and 8th starters already. 

The Dodgers' AA and AAA teams might have more starting pitching talent and depth than the Twins Sox Royals and Tigers combined together.

Bryan SHaw could probably go 4 innings in his sleep.

It would be nice to give him the motivation against his former team to go out and win a spot on the roster...at least temporarily...as the long man.

Don't really have that defined swing man in the pen right now.
