Other notes:
New #Indians 23yr old LHP prospect Konnor Pilkington will be assigned to Double-A Akron.

Injury update: #Indians 25yr old RHP prospect Shane McCarthy recently underwent Tommy John surgery. McCarthy had been starting at Double-A Akron in 2021. He made his last start 6/16/21 before he was placed on the injured list.
MT88 thoughts: Shane is R5 eligible for the 1st time this December. This torpedoes any small chance there was for Shane to be added to the 40 man roster by the mid-November deadline (in advance for the R5)..


Roster Movement:
#Indians INF prospect Owen Miller to be recalled from Columbus to replace Hernandez on the active roster.

#Indians 24yr old 2B/OF prospect Richie Palacios is being promoted to Triple-A Columbus.

#Indians also promoting 20yr old (SS) prospect Bryan Rocchio to Double-A Akron.

Other notes:
#Indians OF Jordan Luplow is with the team in Chicago. Look for Luplow to possibly be activated as early as tomorrow from the 60-day IL.

#Indians place 18yr old (SS) prospect Jose Baez on the 60-day IL in the Dominican Summer League. Baez the younger brother of Jose Ramirez had yet to play a game in 2021.

RHP DJ Johnson (AAA CBus) & C Yainer Diaz (Low A Lynch) dealt away as part of moves at the trade deadline...

Roster Movement:

#Indians have promoted 22yr old (C) prospect Bryan Lavastida to Double-A Akron
C Mike Rivera promoted to Columbus from Akron

Insights post trade deadline from Indians Prospective Twitter:

Look for #Indians 22yr old (C) prospect Micael Ramirez to possibly be promoted to (Low A) Lynchburg in the wake of the Yainer Diaz trade. Ramirez is currently 2nd is the Arizona Complex League w/ a .418 Average & has 11 doubles through his first 16 games.

------------------------------------------------------------
Really, really like the #Indians addition's of Battenfield was a riser in the Rays organization. Also like Pilkington. Both guys have a shot to be potential back end rotation guys in the future.

----------------------------------------------------

#Indians cleared (5) 40-Man roster spots if & when they probably DFA Sandoval. This needed to be done with upcoming roster crunch after the season.
40-Man Subtractions
Hernandez
Johnson
Luplow
Maton
Rosario
Sandoval *
40-Man Additions:
Myles Straw
 
As to the 40 man, the moves improve the situation somewhat.

Eddie was a non factor at the end of the season. Cesar maybe. Luplow and Maton were question marks, due to being arby eligible.

Pilkington has to be added, or be exposed.
 
Every ball in play has been a hit. Weird!

Logan T Allen and Lenny Torres with great outings.

Brad Peacock not so much…

Perhaps the arms picked up can allow for some pitcher movement.... & allow the Peacock experiment to be ended...
