Braves @ Cubs: Fried vs Montgomery (Game 136)

Submitted by CTSteve on

ATL (59-75): LHP Max Fried (0-0, 5.40)
CHC (75-60): LHP Mike Montgomery (5-6, 3.29)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Montgomery gave up 1 ER in 7 innings for the win against the Pirates on Monday. He went 2-0 with a 1.73 in August. He won in Atlanta in July, giving up 1 ER in 6 innings. Overall, the Braves are 4-30 (.133) against him. Suzuki is 2-1, and Inciarte is 1-7 with a HR.

The 23/yo Californian rookie, Max Fried, another unfortunate name, is making his first career start, after four appearances out of the bullpen in August. Of the 4 ERs he’s given up, 3 of them happened in Colorado. Drafted by the Padres, he had Tommy John surgery in 2014 and was part of the Justin Upton deal later that year. In AA-AAA this year, he went a combined 2-11 with a 5.54.

Next up, it’s a four-game set in Pittsburgh, which kicks off with Arrieta (14-8) and Kuhl (6-10) tomorrow at 3:00pmCST on ESPN.

Go Cubs!

HAGSAG: Rob Zastryzny has indeed been recalled from AAA Iowa. He was scheduled to start for the I-Cubs today at Omaha but was scratched (apparently after yesterday's bullpen meltdown at Wrigley Field). He is stretched-out as a starter and can give the beleaguered pen some length if they need that.

There has been some questions at various sites regarding why an MLB club would place an injured player on the 10-day DL after Septermber 1st, since such a move has no effect on the club's reserve list. 

The reason it is done has to do with language in the CBA allowing a club to direct an injured MLB player to perform prescribed rehabilitation work at a particular rehab/training facility (of the club's choosing) for an injury incurred during the MLB regular season. 

The MLB Commissioner's Office advised clubs a couple of years ago that to avoid a possible grievance or lawsuit related to the treatment and/or rehab of an injury sustained by a player in September, that the club should just place an injured player on the 15-day DL (now the 10-day DL) so that the club retains its right to direct a player to a particular facility for treatment & rehab. 

Obviously a player with a sprained hangnail won't be placed on the 10-day in September, but a player with an injury that will likely require some rehab would be.

Javy injury is something we really, really don't need. Ugh. And, the Nationals seem to be mailing it in again.

Mike Freeman doing a fine job demonstrating that the Cubs still need an actual backup shortstop that can field the position when Javy's not available.

baez to stay in CHI tonight (series @PIT starting tomorrow), but he is not under concussion protocol and is supposedly catching a flight to PIT tomorrow to join the team. he's supposedly "okay" but has blurred vision in his right eye.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.
