I feel like, no surprise here! Both are injured/coming off of injury
Key with Espino is no 60-day DL yet .... more so as they don't want to incur the service time this spring for those 60-days (I assume)

Pretty good list overall, but Rocchio doesn't deserve to be #3 with his low ceiling and Valera's injuries have dinged him down a bit. Martinez should be in the top 10 after his 2023 and so should Cantillo. After DeLauter and Manzardo I don't care which order Brito, Velazquez, Chourio, Martinez or Cantillo are in.

If we plan on having Manzardo (or like I said in the GM thread a possible JD Davis type stopgap) plus Carrasco added, we can't keep the roster as is... someone won't make this team... Maybe Stephan to the 60?
I brought it up a few weeks ago and someone suggested I was being too deep ... But, if Carrasco makes team, will we keep Lively on 40 as he is also out of options??? Don't think Stephan's injury is 60-day as he wasn't going to throw for 3 or so weeks which is before start of season.

Let's see what happens with de la Santos.. If he isn't retained & returned to Arizona that is a 40 man spot opened for someone else.
If an injury issue with Stepahn or Karinchek doesn't respond to rest now, a 60 day IL a trip might be in order. No reason to make that determination today/ this week.
Lively and one of the CF group could also get removed from the 40 man.
All of this to say: there are multiple ways to create a couple 40 spots if one of the prospects or NRI players force themselves onto the roster due to their great play in spring training.

I think Lively has an option remaining Pete. Don't hold me to that though.

zero (0) options for Lively..
The bone bruise with Stephon can linger and become a major issue if he isn't fully, 100 %... it's a scary as fuck type "pre-injury" that can and has progressed to vastly more serious levels of injury...
A 60 day IL wouldn't be the worst idea.. but, that is pure speculation...

I thought one article said he did, but both fangraphs and MLBtraderumors say he doesn't, so I guess he's on the roster with the injury to Karinchak and Stephan!
But, with Kar and Stephan out, you add Cookie as a Long-man and maybe Curry too ... the issue will be high end - back end guys that Smith, Herrin and Gaddis could be better options for ....
