Valera went out for the next inning in the field.. but was removed shortly thereafter. The initial word was that it was precautionary & he could have continued.. but, why push it?.That was Valera that got hurt, Twitter had the wrong player…..
Looks like they'll hold him out the rest of the weekend:Potentially good news on the Valera front as well...
(via GBI Akron reporter)
Akron manager Rouglas Odor told me that Valera wanted to continue but was taken out for precautionary reasons, taking into account the slippery conditions of his spot in right field from the rain
Columbus - RHP Peyton Battenfield Akron - LHP Jaime Arias-Bautista Lake County - RHP Lenny Torres Lynchburg - LHP Will Dion | ACL Indians - Not yet active DSL Indians Blue - Not yet active DSL Indians Red - Not yet active |
He's pitched at three levels and made four starts...three in Akron as the fill in for Espino. I dont see how he's taking innings away from anybody. If Espino had remained healthy, he probably wouldn't have gotten those three starts.Why does Arias-Bautista continue to take starts from an otherwise loaded set of starters that already includes Logan Allen Jr., Curry, Gaddis, Cantillo, and will soon included EspinGOAT and could include WilliamsGOAT and BibeeGOAT injuries notwithstanding? Ship this guy out of town or at least to the bullpen.
TIA.
