Patrick Corbin hit the Injured List today, sidelined with a left teres major strain, and honestly, you had to see it coming. His ERA has absolutely ballooned to 5.51, up from a much more respectable 3.65 at the end of May. Just Tuesday, he got absolutely hammered, giving up 7 hits and 4 earned runs over a measly 2.1 innings with only 3 strikeouts. Strains build, right? When you keep pushing it, things only get worse.
The Roster Shake-Up: Who’s In, Who’s Out
With Corbin on the shelf, the team isn’t sitting still. Davis Schneider and Adam Macko are back, which is a big move. Macko, who was only sent down recently after a pretty rough outing, gets another shot. But the real spark could be Schneider, who was absolutely tearing it up in Buffalo during July. He was hitting .298/.469/.660 with 5 bombs, 14 walks, and 16 strikeouts. It’s awesome to see him really attacking pitches and not just waiting for walks. Hopefully, he can bring that hot bat with him.
On the flip side, Sean Keys got optioned to Triple-A. His numbers haven’t been pretty, hitting .167/.189/.278 in his 37 plate appearances. Let’s be real, who’s really been hitting anyway?
What This Means Going Forward
With these moves, the lineup is already getting shuffled around. You gotta wonder if Schneider can keep that power surge going at the big league level. It’s a crucial moment for the team to find some offensive consistency and for Macko to prove his last outing was a fluke. Keep an eye on how these guys perform; it’s going to be interesting to see if these moves can turn things around.
