Dodgers Injury News: Manny Day To Day, Wade Outrighted

Manny Ramirez, who hit .366/.441/.598 in June, received a dose of good news today, in that he was not placed on the disabled list, at least not yet.  Per the Dodgers:

Manny was improved today. MRI showed some inflammation and we'll see how he progresses tomorrow before determining the next step.

If Ramirez is placed on the disabled list, his likely replacement would be Xavier Paul, who has had two stints with the Dodgers this season, and is currently in Triple A. Paul was not in tonight's lineup in Albuquerque. However, a stint on the disabled list for Ramirez might not happen. Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reported via Twitter:

Source tells me that Manny is "unlikely" to go on the disabled list.

In other news, reliever Cory Wade, who was on the disabled list since undergoing shoulder surgery in March, was outrighted to Triple A Albuquerque today, per Hernandez. He was pitching on a rehab assignment with Class A Inland Empire.  This procedure removes Wade from the 40-man roster.

Speaking of Wade

He’s pitching in for J-Mac.

J-Mac’s line:
4 IP, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 3 H, 51 pitches, 2-5 GO/FO though… But it’s in ABQ..

From MLBTR.

USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports (via Twitter) that Arizona has fired manager A.J. Hinch. In a follow-up tweet, Nightengale adds that there is no word yet on whether or not Eric Byrnes is still the club’s general manager.

More details on Molina deal

from mlb.com:

It might have been completed more quickly were it not for the approval required for the cash, believed to be $2 million, that the Giants sent the Rangers to compensate for Molina’s salary.
So the deal is Molina + $2M for Chris Ray and Michael Main. Did the Rangers just sell a prospect for $2M?



SF is promoting Main to AA Richmond. He was at Bakersfield, Texas’ A+ farm club.

Kemp had argument with Schaefer

per Dylan Hernandez:

In the first inning of the 9-4 victory over the New York Yankees that day, Derek Jeter drew a leadoff walk and stole second base. Because Kemp wasn’t backing up the bag, Jeter was able to advance to third base when catcher Russell Martin made an errant throw.

When Schaefer later reminded Kemp of what he should have done on the play, Kemp responded by saying that he was playing too deep to get there in time. Schaefer told him said that regardless, his duty was to charge in as soon as Martin let go of the ball. That prompted Kemp to tell Schaefer to leave him alone.
Reached on Thursday, Schaefer didn’t have much to say. “It’s just between me and Matt, and it’s no big deal,” he said. “I was trying to make him better and he’s better now.” Jokingly, he added, “With a little bit of rest, he’s improved.”

I cracked up at the last quote from Schaefer.

If Kemp was hitting .400 in June this doesn’t mean shit. But, I’m glad this is all it was.

by Alex41592 on Jul 1, 2010 10:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

So when is Kenley Jansen getting called up?

Jansen, Lindblom, McDonald = better bullpen within 2 months. Or at least more fun to watch.

sherrill miller ?

I personally wouldn't weep to see Miller go, He hasn't been bad but he's really not all that special, either.

Or if Troncoso or Sherrill are (coughPhantomcough)DL’d at some point…

Torre has trusted plenty of young guys

McDonald, DeWitt, Wade, Troncoso, Kershaw, Ely.

by Michael White on Jul 2, 2010 7:53 AM PDT up reply actions  

that's true

we are kinda hard on him.

SSS am I right?

by Tommy Blackjack on Jul 2, 2010 7:56 AM PDT up reply actions  

The picture just gets clouded

because its easy to see Torre giving at bats to GA while having Paul waste away in AAA. But when it comes down to it, Torre really hasn’t hesitated to get the young guys in who he thinks will help the team- Kershaw in particular was named to the starting rotation and never left it. When it comes to playoff roster times, Torre will field what he sees as the best squad. Meaning no GA just like there was no Sweeney in 08. Also, Torre liked McDonald so much in 2008 after a September callup that he made the playoff roster out of nowhere.

If Jansen gets called up in September (and he will) and he impresses Torre, Torre will definitely consider him for the postseason squad (over Ely who would likely not be starting a game unless an injury.) If Jansen can bring it, Torre won’t worry about his age or inexperience (IMO.)

by Michael White on Jul 2, 2010 8:05 AM PDT up reply actions  

also gotta remember

he started Kemp and Ethier in the outfield. I remember Ethier saying that one of the things that really helped him to relax in his game was Torre telling him in ST “You’re my right-fielder”.

by Tommy Blackjack on Jul 2, 2010 8:11 AM PDT up reply actions  

Too, I still think they’re grooming X to be the starting left fielder next year, or he’d be up now.

by Little Blue Bicycle on Jul 2, 2010 8:15 AM PDT up reply actions  

Sands had a rough day at the dish: 0-6, 3 Ks.

I must say, I’m really intrigued by the idea of having Jansen has the 3rd string catcher when he gets the call. That’s a super utility man in the rawest sense.

by silverwidow on Jul 1, 2010 10:14 PM PDT reply actions  

The Miami Heat currently

have 2 players under contract for next year.

That was said on SNR on my way home.

What if they don’t sign 2 or 3 guys to max contracts like the plan calls for now?

Hell, what if D Wade decides to leave. They have 2 dudes under contract!

How fast does Pat Riley step down?

Wade stays, methinks

Then they basically have the same team they had last year… Michael Jackson with a bunch of Titos…

Going after Bosh and/or Amare

Lebron isn’t really a realistic target…

by angelofdeath on Jul 1, 2010 10:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think

that Bosh will go with LeBron. Just my gut….and it s a big one!

I really thought when this started that Amare and Joe Johnson would go to NY. Joe is crazy to pass up $119M. He aint worth it, and I love JJ. No way he leaves Atlanta with that offer. The only reason he left PHX was money in the first place.

by keithc13 on Jul 1, 2010 10:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

If it's not Bosh or Amare

Boozer is the third option

and if the knicks strike out hard

how do you explain 2-3 years of absolutely futility when youre main goal wasnt to win games but to clear cap space to sign the mythical beast known as LeBron?

Well what are they gonna do, root for the Nets?

I mean the Nets are moving to Brooklyn. That’s like, just over the East River. Plus, the Nets are gonna land LeBron, and who wants to cheer for that guy?

Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!

by Josie Becker on Jul 1, 2010 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

LeBron will be a Cavalier next year.

IMO.

And to answer your question, they root for the Knicks. Can’t root for NJ. They are in the same boat. So root for the NY team or root for the Newark team. I pick NY.

Luke Gregerson has a K/BB ratio of 51/4 entering the game. Amazing.

However, he has walked two tonight.

YES!

5-3 Astros. Bourn two run triple.

Blooper. 6-3 Astros. The Padres bullpen with a slight crack.

So, um

Should White become the GM. Can he hook us up with Haren? It probably wouldn’t hurt our chances. He would know our guys better than anybody.

by Alex41592 on Jul 1, 2010 10:33 PM PDT reply actions  

Yeah, I’m just thinking and typing. Of course I’d love for White to stick around. Nothing would probably happen until the offseason anyway. Unless the organization decided to dump Haren no matter what this season.

by Alex41592 on Jul 1, 2010 10:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

That could happen

I think he may go to like STL, NYM, Minn, or Anaheim.

Have no idea what they could offer, but I doubt he gets traded to a team in the NL West.

I don't like Haren this year...

Anyone remember the last time an ex Dodger took the reigns?

Rockies were horrible till former Dodger skipper Jim Tracy stepped in. Now Kirk (I still cry when I see that homerun) Gibson is the interim manager for AZ. Should be an interesting series to say the least.

Along with Gibson being named interim manager. Jerry Dipoto was named interim GM.

by Alex41592 on Jul 2, 2010 12:36 AM PDT reply actions  

so for the GM

is that before they do the research to name the next one?

Also, I would think this hinders any trade talks, because teams are basically going to have to restart with a new GM who will have different plans, and feel differently about certain prospects, no?
