Would like to see Wicks throw up some zeroes tonight. The peripherals all day "ready for Tenn" but he's gotten BABIP'd quite hard and has a mediocre ERA to show for it. There's probably some luck in there but he's probably also not managing contact as well as he should.

Javier Assad is quietly getting back into prospect status as his improved FB and new cutter have been outstanding this year.

The new cutter looked really good (admittedly, just watching video highlights).

Luis Devers: 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K

 

Javier Assad: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K

Rivas was scratched, was hoping they’d give someone else a shot and give Rivas more work. Hermosillo must be too valuable to DFA.

[Bertz]

Luis Devers: 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K

 

Javier Assad: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K

 

 

Devers is getting really fun. A groundball rate north of 50% and nearly 5 Ks for every BB is hard to ignore
