Komatsu had surgery (not sure what kind) on July 17th so I am not sure if that makes his 0 ABs more or less interesting 🙂
Also, any chance Tusk gets a call up to AAA this season?
Must have been a back-dated move because when it was first brought to my attention, and when I looked last night, he was still active. Let me get rewrite.
Tusk deserves another shot at AAA, but is probably going to stay put because they need him to start.
How about Perry instead of Lannan for the spot start tomorrow?
Link to Komatsu’s tweet about surgery. He also tweeted on the 13th that he was headed to Charlotte for surgery
