I expect moves of some sort over the next 24-48 hours. Maybe sooner. I'll share more info as I'm able to get it and confirm.
Ketch is coming back strong.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
The Astros put Grae Kessinger on the 10-day IL with "right shoulder discomfort" and designated Joel Kuhnel for assignment to clear a roster spot for Joey Loperfido

this issue with Jake...
he turns 28 years old in June
so there's not a lot of room or time for 'growth' at this point -- he is who he is
but maybe another club disagrees

I'm told they had another idea in mind but it didn't work out... yet. Bummer.bearkatag15 said:The Astros put Grae Kessinger on the 10-day IL with "right shoulder discomfort" and designated Joel Kuhnel for assignment to clear a roster spot for Joey Loperfido

But I can say with certainty that they're actively exploring options to move Abreu.
Poor Joel...that's the second DFA for him this year I think (possible 3rd if you count the offseason).
Joey Loperfido will wear No. 10, last worn by Yuli Gurriel

The moment somebody wears 1 or 4 it'll feel so weird

Bum Shoulder Jake - .678 OPS / 81 wRC+ / xwOBA .281
Healthy Jake - .737 OPS / 111 wRC+ / xwOBA .352
WHEN HEALTHY Slightly above-average hitter with plus-plus defense. Who wouldn't want that guy?
This means Dubon is the only player on the roster who can back up Bregman & Pena. Anytime we use Dubon we need to keep him in the game so he's available to fill in if there is an injury. Meaning if he starts in the OF vs a LHP and we want to pinch hit for him because there is a nasty RHP in, we can't without risking not having a backup for the rest of the game. I would think this means Dubon is getting more of his reps in the INF when Altuve, Pena, and Bregman need time off. We haven't seen any get many days off their feet. Plus IMO Chas and Jake should be getting the OF starts over Dubon anyway.bearkatag15 said:The Astros put Grae Kessinger on the 10-day IL with "right shoulder discomfort" and designated Joel Kuhnel for assignment to clear a roster spot for Joey Loperfido

I feel Jake has fallen victim to other guys not carrying their weight. He's the guy that was supposed to bat .235 to .250 and provide a little pop at the bottom of the lineup while playing solid defense. I thought he'd get more consistent playing time than he has so far this season.

I'm disappointed he hasn't played very much
I thought he was to be the everyday CF?

Because people put things in their heads and keep it there. It's clear Dusty was never going to give him a real chance last year, so he basically wasted a professional year for Jake.Farmer1906 said:Rookie Jake - .761 OPS / 109 wRC+ / xwOBA .321W said:

He's not an all-star, but he's a really solid OFer that many teams wouldn't mind having.
For whatever reason, Espada isn't using Dubon as a utility guy, which would allow Jake to have a lot more ABs. Instead, he's taking CF ABs from Jake.AggiEE said:iBrad said:

I don't hate how Dusty used him. He played quite a bit. He wasn't as productive last year and I think part of that was still recovering from the shoulder injury. 112 games and 309 ABs ain't nothing. What drove me crazy was we didn't utilize his defense in late situations. We used Dubon.

José Abreu is not with the Astros, GM Dana Brown said. Both sides decided that Abreu will be optioned to West Palm Beach effective tomorrow “to get some at-bats and his timing back right.”
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) April 30, 2024
Wow. It makes so much sense.
WHOA!
Optioned I would think means not on the 26man but still on the 40.
But we just saw how they set the roster to add Joey and keep Cabbage up

I edited. Maybe I should actually read before I respond.
So does that open up a roster spot on the 26 man? Cabbage can't be up because the just went down, unless they can claim it for the kessinger injury.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Did I miss when JP was optioned to sugar Landon 4/26?
And supposedly cabbage was optioned back down yesterday

Dana Brown on José Abreu agreeing to this move: “It’s definitely a rare thing but it tells you that much more about the human being. He was frustrated. He was wearing it.”

holy ***** I'm stunned. Im also kind of shocked the MLBPA is not frothing at the mouth.

Normally he has to stay down 15 days, but if they put someone on the IL they can bring him back up. They just did that with Grae
Because the Astros are not going to option José Abreu until tomorrow, there is no corresponding move today. So the Astros will play a man down tonight. Jon Singleton will play first base tonight. Yes, Trey Cabbage is eligible to be recalled.

Delaying for a trade?
Gotta be, right?
