Miguel Cairo

WSH Manager

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nationals interim manager Miguel Cairo was told he won’t get the job on a full-time basis.

It looks like the Nationals will go outside of the organization for their next manager, which seems like a good thing. Cairo still might have a future in a managerial role, but he seemed to be very much carrying on good friend Dave Martinez’s traditions after stepping in this summer.

Jung was called up on April 29th when Javier Baez (ankle) went on the injured list, but was sent back to Triple-A on May 3rd when Zack Short was called up from Triple-A. Now, Jung will get another shot with Gleyber Torres (oblique) landing on the injured list.

Gleyber Torres

DET 2nd Baseman #25

Tigers placed 2B Gleyber Torres on the 10-day injured list with left oblique strain.

Torres had missed three straight games with the injury and will now finally go on the injured list. With Zach McKinstry back, McKinstry should play second base against right-handed pitching until Torres can work his way back into the lineup.

Dax Fulton

MIA Starting Pitcher #90

Marlins recalled LHP Dax Fulton from Triple-A Jacksonville.

This is not the left-handed pitching prospect that many people expected the Marlins to call up from Triple-A; however, the Marlins have said that Fulton will pitch out of the bullpen. Miami doesn’t need a starting pitcher until Friday, so Fulton will operate out of the bullpen until then. The 24-year-old has a 7.65 ERA in 20 innings at Triple-A this season. If he gets into a game, it will be his MLB debut.

Brooks Kriske

The 32-year-old has a 2.25 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 25/11 K/BB ratio in 16 innings at Triple-A this season. He has a 9.53 ERA in 39 2/3 career MLB innings.

Cionel Perez

NYM Relief Pitcher #58

Mets signed LHP Cionel Pérez to a minor-league contract.

Pérez was designated for assignment by the Nationals over the weekend, cleared waivers, and opted for free agency. He will now join the Mets’ organization after posting a 6.19 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, and 9/11 K/BB ratio across 16 innings with Washington this season.

Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan (elbow) is officially listed as a starter for Saturday’s game against the Guardians.

Ryan was removed from his last start in the first inning with elbow soreness, but the corresponding MRI revealed no structural damage. As of now, it appears that Ryan won’t miss his turn in the rotation. If you have the option, we’d rather keep Ryan on the bench for this start until we can be sure that he’s truly healthy.

Tyler Glasnow

LAD Starting Pitcher #31

Tyler Glasnow left his start on Wednesday in the second inning with lower back pain.

Glasnow motioned for the trainer after throwing a warm-up pitch in the bottom of the second inning. There was a brief conversation, and then Glasnow left the mound with the trainer. Glasnow’s fastball velocity was actually up in his first inning, so nothing indicated he was dealing with an injury until he threw that warm-up pitch. We will wait for more information, but there’s a chance he’s just dealing with a minor flare up in his lower back.

Sung-Mun Song

SD 3rd Baseman #24

Sung-Mun Song will start at shortstop and bat ninth against the Giants on Wednesday.

Song went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and two runs scored in his MLB debut on Tuesday. He has now started two straight games with Jake Cronenworth on the concussion-IL. Song was hitting .293/.364/.354 in 110 plate appearances at Triple-A with one home run, one steal, and a 27/11 K/BB ratio. There is a window for him to earn playing time if he can produce while Cronenworth is out.
