And with Javy on leave it's not like they can call him up and do a Alcantara/LaStella 3B combo, gonna be interesting to see the reason someone other than Bryant takes Olt's spot.

They'll bring up Watkins or Lake and just play both TLS and Contra at once.

Didn't Watkins blow out his knee or something and is done for the year?

I don't understand why there has to even be a reason. I mean everyone knows what the Cubs are doing and they aren't the first person to do it. I'm sure he wants to avoid a grievence being filed and things getting ugly but the dude is playing by the rules and everyone knows he will be up in a week.

Something about good faith in employment laws or something. It's deeper than the CBA itself.

But the labor laws were collectively bargained? How can the PA argue that the Cubs are doing wrong when they agreed to these rules? I understand everyone thinks it's shittt but so is paying some players way under market value their first 5 years in the league.

Because that's just how it works? I dunno, IANAlaborlawyer. It's probably different in every state and every level, and it's probably never been tested so there's no real precedent here, but there are examples where common law "don't be a dickwad to your employees" principles can outweigh a contract or CBA. All sides are acting like it's at least theoretically possible for the team to lose if it were to go to an arbitrator and they made it obvious enough.

Just because somebody got hurt doesn't mean that the reason they send him down in the first place to work on stuff doesn't still apply to Bryant.

No wrist injury for Olt per Twitter-verse. Consensus seems to be that DL is possible, but for now, day to day.

X-rays on Olt were negative, listed as day to day

So day to day for a week, then DL next Saturday when it doesn't get better, with Bryant coming up.
