A player who submits written notice of retirement while under contract to a club or while under club control can be placed on the Voluntary Retired List.
A player on the Voluntary Retired List does not get paid while on the list, does not accrue service time, and does not count against the club's Active List or Reserve List.
A player on the Voluntary Retired List must spend at least 60 days of the regular season on the list before he can apply for reinstatement. If the player is placed on the Voluntary Retired List within 60 days of the conclusion of the regular season, the balance of the 60 days would carry-over into the next season.
If an MLB player on the Voluntary Retired List is reinstated during the MLB regular season, he may consent to a "conditioning" assignment (with or without pay - TBD) with a minor league affiliate of his club for up to 30 days prior to being reinstated.
NOTE: A player receives MLB meal money and other benefits associated with being an MLB player while on a minor league "conditioning" assignment.
A player on an MLB Voluntary Retired List cannot be reinstated during the period of time extending from August 1st through October 31st, and a minor league player on the Voluntary Retired List cannot be reinstated during the period of time extending from August 1st through the conclusion of the season (including post-season).

morel DH, tauchman CF, masterboney 3rd
imagine a world where a manager decides to put morel at 3rd and canario DH. crazy, huh?
masterboney had 3 hits yesterday so we're stuck with him again today and probably for a chunk of what's left.
canario had a double and grand slam a couple games ago and he's riding pine again.

madrigal's hamstring strain is a grade 2 strain. we probably won't see him anymore this season or post-season (if applicable) unless the team goes deep.

Sucks for Steele, sucks for the Cubs. Hopefully the Cubs get right tomorrow and take the series.
Edit: and if they choose to get right tonight instead and take the series, even better!

well, working his 4th game in 5 days seems to have been a bad idea.

make that 6 singles in a row. cuas is coming in with men on 1st/2nd...ross loves this dude with men on.
steele has gone from potential CY winner to "had a great season" in 2 starts.

steele giving up 5 straight singles and tommy h on the phone with the bullpen as if the pen is ready to put in 5-6 innings of quality work.

Carter Trice taking some lumps but I’m weirdly optimistic about that conversion. 20 YO 3 year starter in college when drafted, gets the ball in the air with power and took walks, started at 6 diff spots (mostly 2B/OF)

morel DH, tauchman CF, and hopefully the last masterboney start at 3rd we'll ever see...i'll take wisdom's potential power over these singles-hitting ceiling hitters dross keeps marching out there because of a marginally better glove.
