Yusei Kikuchi is on the 15 day IL with left shoulder inflammation. Walbert Urena has a right knee contusion and is day to day. The Angels selected the contract of Tyler Saucedo.

The Nationals signed right-hander Shawn Dubin to a minor league contract. The Giants are probably bringing up Bryce Eldridge and Jesus Rodriguez. Eldridge is an outfielder/first baseman while Rodriguez plays all over the place. The Yankees optioned Anthony Volpe down to Triple-A.

Brewers left-hander Angel Zerpa could be on his way to Tommy John surgery. Ronald Acuna Jr. went on the IL with a hamstring strain

The Cubs claimed left-hander Luis Peralta off waivers from the Cardinals..

A while back I was a PTP fan as my thinking was a young man with some fresh ideas at the helm would make all things positive for turning this team around. Back in 2024 I leaned towards thinking that our own Marine Layer was being a bit tough with his comments about Minasian until I looked at his work and realized that he was right. So, after the 2024 draft I was swayed towards looking at Perry volume of work and figured he has had his time here and nothing changed. Getting nothing for Shohei was as dumb a move as I had ever seen. This is his seventh season and what has changed-nothing.

With prayers to the above, fingers crossed, and patience running out, I can see a day not far away that we can wave goodbye to Arturo, adios to his lap dog PTP, ignore the Angels brass as they pack up and hope that will be the end of this shitshow.
