#ryu has some health problems and is very very shy

[spock-smokes-weed]

I really need to make character spread pages for my zosan ocs

especially ryu cus my hand slipped and made him a sad little baby. he had a very complicated delivery and almost didn't make it, so zoro is very protective of him.

[thirstyfortom]

so cool to see that requests are open again! ^^ how do you feel about writing a doctor MC who helped RFA before she joins RFA ? Your writing is so beautiful and full of great references, I love you

Well, I don’t know much about diagnoses and I have almost zero medical knowledge ( I dropped Grey’s Anatomy, so I can’t even rely on that, lol) so maybe this isn’t very accurate, I did my best from what my grandpa used to tell me about some cases he saw when he was a doctor (especially about the relation between viagra and heart diseases) and I’m sorry if this doesn’t make much sense.

Hope you like this ^^

RFA has an appointment with doctor MC

Zen

He strained amuscle in his back during work out.

Since he hasthat monster healing, he didn’t mind the pain too much and just let it there toheal itself.

But boy… thedirector wasn’t happy as Zen wasn’t being able to give 100%in his performances. 

So he basically forced Zen to go to the doctor, otherwise…  bye bye role.So Zen wasthere basically forced, and he wasn’t happy.

“So… Mr.Ryu,what’s going on?” “Honestly, nothing. Can you just give me a doctor’s letterproving that I’m okay to work?” you smile in confusion, usually people wantdoctor’s letters to prove they’re not okay to work.

“Well, uhm… Inoticed you’re not sitting straight, are you in pain?” “A little, but… I’mfine. I have a healing monster, so my back will be okay in a few days.”

“In your back?Oh… Mr. Ryu, you realize that you could have a problem in one of your vertebraeif I don’t take a look at it, right?” “Lady, don’t worry too much, I’m… okay.”He winces trying to adjust his position in the chair.

“How long areyou in pain?” “Two, three days.” “Hum… not that monster to me. Please, let metake a look at it, if it is something more serious, you could have seriousproblems in your spine, and you wouldn’t be able to perform anymore.”

Oh… he didn’tmention his job, how do you know he’s a performer? Are you a fan? He can’t helpfeeling a little smug imagining this serious lady fangirling like most of hisfans do, it would be… adorable.

“Take off yourshirt and lay there so I can examine, please?” Oh… he’s feeling a little shy,which is… a first. But he obeys, remembering you’re a professional, after all.

“Here?”“Lower, next to my…” don’t say butt, don’t say ass! “Just… lower.” Oh god… isit wrong that he’s almost shivering to your careful touch? What’s wrong withhim?

“Hum… it seemsto me is just a common distension. I will prescript some pain killers, but Istrongly recommend some rest and try not to overstrain yourself, okay? And… Iwould also recommend to go easy on the smoking and drinking, it can reallyaffect your throat, and you wouldn’t be able to sing. So… take care, Zen.”

Zen leaves theroom smirking. You are a fan, aren’t you? Well, he’ll do his best to followmedical orders, he wouldn’t want to disappoint a fan…

Yoosung

He wasn’t beingable to curl his fingers

And he wouldn’tmind this too much if it wasn’t affecting his performance on playing LOLOL.

So he went tothe doctor his mother recommended, telling she was a remarkable young lady thattreated her problems in her neck

So there hewas, feeling like a kid for having to ask his mom for this appointment, and hishands were hurting.

 “Mr. Kim, whatcan I do for you?” “I’m not being able to move my hands normally.”

 “How long areyou like this?” “A few weeks.” “And why did you just come to the doctor now, Mr.Kim?” he’s feeling so adult being called like that…

 “I… didn’tknow any doctor, so my mom…” Ugh, he didn’t want you to know he’s here becauseof his mother. “I thought it wasn’t that bad, I… I’m sorry.“

“I’m notjudging you, don’t worry. I just need to know how long your problem persists soI can make a more accurate diagnosis. I’m sure you’ll do the same when you’llbecome a vet.” He smiles, but… how do you know he’s studying to be a vet?

Oh… his motherwas definitely bragging again about her son going to college to become a vet,she would do that from time to time, how embarrassing!

“So, give meyour hands, let’s examine it.” He offers his hands, and can’t help blushingwhen you take them and start squeezing lightly his knuckles.

“Does it hurthere?” “Yes, a little.” “What about… here?” you touch next to his thumbs,making him yelp. Ugh… he feels so ridiculous about it.

“It looks tome you have tendinitis, caused by some repetitive strain with your fingers. Doyou type a lot?” “I… I do.”

“I see. Well,I will refer you to an orthopedist, since it’s not my field, but I wouldrecommend a wristlet for now. Try to take breaks on writing your essays, okay?I know college can be hard, but don’t strain yourself.” You smile inreassurance, making him feel even worse. Ugh… he’s like this because of gaming,not because he’s writing essays for college. “And say hello to your mother.”

But he will dohis best to follow your advice, he knows his mother will tell you all about himagain. Well, at least she tried to put him in a good light telling he is adedicated student. And he’s happy that you believed…

Jaehee

She wasn’tfeeling very well, it was something in her stomach, probably.

But she couldn’tgo to the doctor, no! She was so busy!

It had come toa point Jumin had to tell her to go, otherwise she wouldn’t be productive inwork. Yes, that was basically his reason for it.

And she was sonauseous, but maybe because she was just worried about all the work waiting forher when she left the hospital.

“Miss Kang,what’s going on?” “I’ve been throwing up and feeling sick for a few days, notbeing able to sleep well, doctor.”

“Have youalready done some drugstore pregnancy test?” “OH MY GOD! NO! I… there’s no wayI could be pregnant!” She blushes, but tries to recompose herself.

“I see, haveyou eaten anything different these past days?” “No, just my usual take outs.”

“You eat takeout every day?” “Pretty much, yes.” You curl your lip while you make somenotes. “These foods usually have artificial coloring and preservatives, it’s alot of industrialized food that can do real harm if you eat it everyday, Ms. Kang.”

“I know, it’sjust my working schedule is… a mess, and most of the times I don’t have time toeat a proper meal.” She tries to read what you’re writing down, and feelsridiculous when you catch her and smile.

After a fewexams, you hand her a paper. “I’m giving you a medical leave for three days soyou can eat properly and your body can recharge, but I insist you should try amore balanced meal. You should see this nutritionist, she’s a great friend ofmine and she plans diets for people who don’t have much time, she’s beenhelping me a lot with this, actually.”

Oh… so you dounderstand her, she was so sure you were taking notes of how she was neglectingher own health, but… you were just planning on giving her a medical absence.

Which… shewasn’t sure if she should use, since it would affect her productivity, whoknows? Three days is time enough for Jumin to hire a new assistant if hewanted.

So… back towork it is, but at least she could see the nutritionist you recommended whenshe had some time to spare? You looked pretty good, maybe she would too if shesaw your friend.

Jumin

The hospitalcalled him, his father was not okay.

He made DriverKim run, what if it was a heart attack? A stroke?

Though it didn’treally show, he was extremely worried.

And the factthat the Hans’ doctor was abroad in a congress, so he was under care of this newdoctor who wasn’t familiar with his family health’s history, made things even worse

“You must behis son, nice to meet you.” You looked so young! And Jumin was trying not to beprejudiced, but… you were probably very inexperienced…

“Do you havehis medical records with you?” “I do, he’s hypertensive, had to operate hisvesicle two years ago and has some tendency to gout, correct?” Oh…? You knewwhat you were doing, huh?

“But… I don’tthink his current condition has anything to do with these. Well, he’shypertensive and his joints are swelling, which I thought it could be the goutmy colleague took some notes about on his last appointment. But I thinks it’ssomething else.”

“What is it?” “Hum…he refused to answer me, and I don’t know if you would know , but… does yourfather make use of medication for erectile dysfunction? Viagra or cialis?” Ohgod… “Not that I’m aware of.”

“Well, I’veseem similar symptoms with patients who took more than one pill in a shortamount of time, which causes palpitations and the swelling joints.”

 You allowedhim to see his father while he was resting. “Are you proud of yourself, father?”“Don’t scold me, you’re my son.” “If you don’t tell the doctor about theViagra, I will.”

You enter theroom. “Are you feeling better, Mr. Han?” “So much better now that you’re here.”Oh… that’s why… he’s dazzled by the doctor. Jumin rolls his eyes remembering allthe times his father said the exact same line to some nurses, who would giggle embarassedly. But not you, you keep a straight face.

“So… ready totell me if you made use of some medication? Maybe an unnecessary extra dose?” hisfather kept silent. “He uses Viagra.” Jumin speaks.

 “I see, well,every medication has side effects, Viagra and Cialis can be dangerous for somepeople with heart diseases, especially if you take more than one dose in shorttime breaks. So, please be careful from now on.”

“I’ll makesure to keep an eye on him from now on.” “Well, this is a very intimate thing,but… it’s good to know you’re there for your father, Mr. Han. Make sure to resta little more, okay?” “Anything for you, dear.” No reaction from you, you’redefinitely a professional, huh?

“I can’tbelieve you were flirting with the doctor, father.” More because you weren’tlike the women his father usually flirts with. Professional, polite, charming…wait, what?

Saeyoung

He got shot onhis shoulder, and though it just grazed, the wound still looked pretty bad

The agencypays a lot of money to the doctors don’t shower them with questions and justprescript pills or whatever

But this newdoctor apparently didn’t get the memo.

Because youasked a lot of questions while treating the wound

 “How did thishappen?” “I didn’t see it, so I can’t tell.” Well, it was true, he didn’t seethe shooter, he just dodged thanks to the GPS indicating their position.

“I need more detailsso I can fill the papers that you’ll take to the forensic examination, and…” “Oh,no need for that, doc, I’m not doing one.”

“What do youmean? You’re not reporting this? You were the victim of a crime.” Oh god… youlook so worried, and you’re doing so much more than you obligation…

“Nah, I’mcool. Don’t worry, doc.” “But… what if the shooter is still looking for you?”

“Doc, I don’tknow what they told you, but please be careful with the questions you ask. It’sa bullet, it grazed, that’s all you need to know.”

“But what ifit has entered? I would have to operate you without knowing anything?” “You…would. I’m sorry, that’s how it works.” He tries to keep it cool and ignore theshivers he’s feeling from your touch in his shoulder and for how close you are.

“What is wrongwith these people?” you mutter when you turn around to make some notes on hismedical file. Oh… you don’t know all the details, but you probably know thatthe agency sent him

“So… agent…” “Call me Luciel.” What is hedoing? Ugh… “Mr. Luciel, I recommend you take some rest and maybe go check apsychiatrist, being shot can bring a lot of emotional trauma. And… I took alook at your check up exams and your electrolytes are high, so go easy on thefood with sodium like chips and beverage like soda. Please, be careful, okay?”

Well, he knewyou were just trying to do your job, but you looked really concerned. You wereso sweet and caring for being so worried with a filthy agent like him. Hebelongs among these people you mentioned, so there is something wrong with him,but someone so innocent and so willing to do what’s right wouldn’t knowanything about this.

Fantasy soccer, baseball and higher education basketball contributor.

Creator of reserve, “Of course, It’s Sizzling in Listed here.”

Even when you are a admirer of a distinct significant league baseball staff, it can be tricky to maintain monitor of all of the information encompassing your favored club on a each day foundation.

When you are a fantasy baseball proprietor, multiplying that effort and hard work by thirty in purchase to maintain tabs on each individual and each and every club is a fool’s errand — bordering on the unattainable.

Worry not! We are going to be in this article each and every Monday to give you a snapshot of what is actually likely on in the environment of baseball, supplying you with one fantasy takeaway from each individual of the league’s thirty groups. Consider of it as your one-end store for the 7 days forward.

Listed here are the takeaways as we head into Week 15 of the 2017 time:

Arizona Diamondbacks: Robbie Ray will undoubtedly be effectively-rested when he usually takes the mound on Tuesday to face the Reds. The southpaw has not pitched in a activity considering the fact that July 6 because of to the timing of the All-Star break, coupled with manager Torey Lovullo’s want to give the 25-calendar year-old a few additional days off. Ray has thrown less than a hundred pitches in just 4 of his 17 begins this time, and was only one-2 pitches shy of triple digits in a few of those appearances. He also ranks seventh in the league in pitches for each get started. He may be a little bit rusty, but he undoubtedly needed the time off.

Atlanta Braves: Don’t appear now, but the Braves are instantly a .500 staff, and could be obtaining a important element of their bullpen back again in the up coming few days. Arodys Vizcaino has not pitched considering the fact that July 2 because of to a strained suitable index finger, but soon after a pair of bullpen periods this weekend, manager Brian Snitker seems shut to activating his key setup male. Vizcaino has 15 retains and two will save this time to go alongside with a 2.38 Period.

Baltimore Orioles: Immediately after two scoreless eighth innings more than the weekend, manager Buck Showalter could last but not least have seen more than enough to reinstate Zach Britton as the team’s closer likely forward. “If you bear in mind the first two or a few outings, it wasn’t Zach, and you could notify [by] the appear on his face he didn’t truly feel very good about the command of the sinker and everything, and that’s why we tried out to continue to be on an each and every-other-day issue,” Showalter reported prior to Sunday’s activity. Assume some help you save prospects this 7 days, presented a staff that has misplaced eight-of-10 video games can give Britton the chance.

Boston Pink Sox: Pablo Sandoval has been selected for assignment, and Tzu-Wei Lin has been sent back again to Triple-A Pawtucket. Both of those moves sign yet yet another opening at third foundation in Boston. Hopefully, Brock Holt is last but not least all set to stake his assert at the scorching corner. Holt went one-for-5 through the team’s doubleheader on Sunday, his first action considering the fact that April 20 when vertigo sent him to the bench. “If I wasn’t all set, I wouldn’t be in this article,” Holt reported. Fingers crossed, he’ll be equipped to adhere all over. Usually, a trade for a additional responsible third-foundation solution is probably the up coming class of action.

Chicago Cubs: John Lackey (plantar fasciitis) is scheduled to be activated from the 10-day DL on Tuesday to get started for the Cubs. It will be the 435th appearance of the veteran’s occupation, and 434th get started. He has only pitched in relief as soon as in his occupation: an unexpected emergency inning of operate in 2004 soon after then-Angels starter Bartolo Colon received shelled. That is why manager Joe Maddon thinks rumors of Lackey obtaining sent to the bullpen are a little bit foolish. “‘Just to check out to take him out of a activity — and then check out to notify him one thing like that? My God,” Maddon reported. ”Exponentially even worse.”

Chicago White Sox: The Terrific 2017 Market Off has started. Jose Quintana was traded to the Cubs on Thursday, and lots of additional members of the Chicago clubhouse are predicted to be packing their luggage in the up coming two months. Todd Frazier to the Pink Sox would seem incredibly plausible, and rumors of David Robertson to the Yankees are commencing to heat up. But we all know you will find only one shift that most fantasy house owners care about, and it was expressed incredibly nicely by a CSN Chicago headline before this 7 days: “WHITE SOX Contact UP NOT-YOAN MONCADA.” That wait carries on…

Cincinnati Reds: The numbers eight-6-one-one-eight examine like an Arizona zip code, but in actuality, those are the runs authorized by Homer Bailey in his five begins this time next elbow operation No. 3. Even so, soon after obtaining lit up on Sunday towards the Nationals, manager Bryan Cost remained optimistic about his pitcher’s future. “There have been zero health problems,” Cost reported. “No doubt, you never pitch as infrequently as he has in the very last a few several years and appear back again and be the 2012-2013 version of Homer Bailey. That being reported, our expectation, and I’m sure his, is that he’ll go out and carry out and give us video games that appear a good deal additional like the (one-operate video games) than the other a few.” We are going to see.

Cleveland Indians: Austin Jackson went one-for-4 on Sunday at the DH spot for Triple-A Columbus, the very last end in his rehab for a strained still left quad. Considering that he has yet to enjoy the field in the minors, one would count on at the very least yet another day or two in Triple-A for Jackson. Assuming all goes effectively, he should really be back again in Cleveland’s outfield by the close of this 7 days — presumably in suitable-field — at the very least until Lonnie Chisenhall (calf pressure) is all set to return to action himself.

Colorado Rockies: Immediately after remaining on the disabled checklist considering the fact that July 2 with a strained suitable calf, Ian Desmond has returned to the Rockies’ lineup. In his first activity back again on Sunday, Desmond went 2-for-3 before obtaining pulled in the sixth as a precaution with the Rockies up major. For now, manager Bud Black suggests he’ll use Desmond in still left field and first foundation instead than at shortstop, even if Trevor Tale carries on to struggle.

Detroit Tigers: Michael Fulmer, very last year’s AL Rookie of the Calendar year and a 2017 All-Star, has a 2.44 Period and a .188 BAA in his very last six begins — including an eight-IP, two-hit gem towards the Blue Jays on Saturday. Even so, rumors of a probable trade are increasing, particularly soon after observing the return the White Sox received for Jose Quintana. Fulmer has read the rumblings. “I’m not truly fearful about it,” he reported in response. “We are seeking to maintain the entire staff jointly suitable now.” We are going to know for sure if Fulmer is suitable in about two months.

Houston Astros: Dallas Keuchel (neck) is scheduled to pitch now for Double-A Corpus Christi, the first time the Astros’ ace will have taken the mound considering the fact that signing up for the disabled checklist on June 5. Assume 2-3 innings of operate and then a re-evaluation of his position. A timetable for his return to Houston is non-existent, as the staff is probably to enjoy points by ear. As Keuchel himself suggests, “It’s how I truly feel on Tuesday and how I continue on to progress. It may be one [get started], it may be fourteen.”

Kansas Town Royals: Nate Karns, who recorded 10 and twelve strikeouts in his two begins prior to his exiting a May well 19 outing towards the Twins with tightness in his forearm, will miss out on the rest of 2017. Karns will have operation to proper his thoracic outlet syndrome on Wednesday and will never be back again before up coming spring. This growth will probably inspire the Royals to offer for a fifth starter before the deadline, as they experienced been counting on Karns’ return. If that fails, even so, Eric Skoglund (one.62 Period in his very last a few Triple-A begins) could be an in-house alternative.

Los Angeles Angels: Nick Franklin was traded to the Angels on the very last day of June, and it seems the staff has now resolved to make a adjust at 2nd foundation. Danny Espinosa was selected for assignment on Sunday, leaving Franklin and Cliff Pennington to share time at the situation. “The one issue they’re going to bring, we truly feel, is some on-foundation proportion, at the the very least,” manager Mike Scioscia reported. Kaleb Cowart has been enjoying 2nd foundation at Triple-A Salt Lake and is batting .301 on the time, so if this new-appear infield fails to impress, he could get the phone.

Los Angeles Dodgers: Winners of nine straight video games (and with Clayton Kershaw on the mound Monday), the Dodgers are not specifically anxious about their recent double-digit direct in the NL West. That is why the staff is keen to take points incredibly slow with the rehabs of Adrian Gonzalez (back again), Hyun-Jin Ryu (foot) and Scott Kazmir (hip). All a few are progressing in their respective rehabs, and all could conceivably be back again before the close of July. That reported, with no have to have to press the issue, the wait could continue on deep into August.

Miami Marlins: Immediately after obtaining swept by the Dodgers more than the weekend, the optimism for a probable wild-card operate is obtaining dimmer by the day. It would be incredibly stunning if this staff stays intact appear July 31. Giancarlo Stanton has a no-trade clause in his mega-contract, but may be keen to waive it if he is delighted with the destination. San Francisco is reported to be pursuing a probable offer for the outfielder. Dee Gordon, Marcell Ozuna, Justin Bour and Christian Yelich have also appear up in trade excitement. It’s not truly a concern of “if” with the Marlins any more, but instead of “who” and “when.”

Milwaukee Brewers: With the Cubs landing Quintana, it is really now up to the first-spot Brewers to return serve, and it seems the staff does not strategy to stand pat. Sonny Grey seems to be the organization’s key target, as the suitable hander has associations with Eric Sogard, Stephen Vogt and Milwaukee pitching coach Derek Johnson (the latter coached Grey at Vanderbilt). Even if that offer falls through, administration has expressed a willingness to do everything in its energy to acquire now.

Minnesota Twins: The Twins are only one one/2 video games behind first-spot Cleveland in the AL Central, but it is really difficult to envision they’re going to continue to be this competitive heading into August and September. No detest towards Minnesota, but let us be straightforward — they are commencing Bartolo Colon on Tuesday. It could be difficult to be “sellers” offered their spot in the standings, but wouldn’t they be far better served in the lengthy time period by dealing Brian Dozier, Ervin Santana and Brandon Kintzler? And reality be advised, those specials could truly boost their 2017 likelihood dependent on the returns.

New York Mets: A different 7 days, yet another personal injury for Yoenis Cespedes. The outfielder tweaked his hip seeking to make a capture on Saturday, and claimed that leaving the activity was merely a precautionary measure offered the blowout rating. That reported, he also sat on Sunday, and could potentially be out of action all over again on Monday. “I never imagine it is really real significant with Ces, but undoubtedly, if he is out for a interval of time, we will do the ideal we can,” manager Terry Collins reported. It’s disheartening for Cespedes’ fantasy house owners to be sure, but except if he will get dealt to an AL staff the place he can DH and avoid these sorts of injuries, it is really element of the expense of drafting him.

New York Yankees: Michael Pineda is completed for 2017, and potentially as a Yankee, as he’ll be a free of charge agent appear October. Though the pitcher is likely to get a 2nd impression before likely underneath the knife, Pineda has been diagnosed with a partial tear of the UCL in his suitable elbow, creating Tommy John operation incredibly probably. The club is not likely to rush into a worry trade for yet another commencing pitcher, nor will they unexpectedly boost Triple-A stud Possibility Adams. Even so, more than the up coming fourteen days, count on each and every probable pitching trade to have the pinstripes connected to it as a rumored husband or wife.

Oakland Athletics: Immediately after dealing away two of their major relievers (see Washington down below), no one expects the A’s to stand pat the rest of July. GM Billy Beane suggests he will continue on to make specials when he can obtain “the ideal players, interval.” Expected to obtain new households in the up coming few months are Sonny Grey, Jed Lowrie and Yonder Alonso. “Very first of all, we have to take a appear at the place we are — we are in very last spot. And the route we are heading is, we are likely younger,” suggests Beane.

Philadelphia Phillies: Aaron Altherr, who experienced been hitting .370 in July, seems sure for the disabled checklist soon after having to go away Friday’s activity with a strained suitable hamstring. Whilst it is really attainable that Altherr could be all set to enjoy in sooner than 10 days, the staff wants two roster spots to open up up with the predicted return of 2nd baseman Cesar Hernandez (indirect) and pitcher Vince Velasquez (elbow) for this week’s collection towards Miami.

Pittsburgh Pirates: Though most fantasy house owners have probably moved on from Jung Ho Kang lengthy back, those who have yet to do so in the hopes that the South Korean could be equipped to fix his visa problems in time to enjoy in 2017 can truly feel free of charge to let him go. GM Neal Huntington suggests that “it is really difficult to visualize a scenario the place one thing is likely to adjust overnight and he is likely to be equipped to appear in in this article and contribute to enable us acquire video games.” As for 2018, even that would seem like a tenuous possibility at this level.

St. Louis Cardinals: Seung-hwan Oh gave up a few runs in the ninth inning on Friday evening to lose a activity for the Cardinals. On Sunday, it was Brett Cecil who came in to shut out a victory, and he also came away with a loss instead of a help you save. Even so, Mike Matheny is nevertheless not all set to declare that Trevor Rosenthal is his closer likely forward. “(It’s not) suitable for us fairly yet to make the statement on who is likely to pitch the ninth and give anyone that title,” Matheny reported. Mainly because Rosenthal worked all weekend, Oh is almost certainly likely to get the phone if a closer is needed on Monday. Even so, appear Tuesday? Improved phone Rosenthal.

San Diego Padres: Hector Sanchez went 3-for-9 with two dwelling runs and five RBI more than the weekend although spelling Austin Hedges behind the plate. Hedges took a foul ball off the mask on Friday, and although doctors never imagine he experienced a concussion, the catcher nevertheless does not truly feel fairly suitable. “What I was advised by doctors… is it is really one thing underneath the amount of a concussion, but he is received some basic haze from it. Hopefully, it wears off rapidly,” manager Andy Green reported. If Hedges carries on to miss out on time, each day fantasy players could want to roll the dice on San Diego’s scorching backup catcher.

San Francisco Giants: Hunter Strickland has nine retains on the time, and has managed a one.35 Period and a .229 BAA to go alongside with a 10.eight K/9 amount more than his previous 15 appearances. Groups like the Rays had been seen scouting Strickland more than the weekend. With Mark Melancon (elbow) predicted to reclaim the team’s closer function any time he returns from the disabled checklist, Sam Dyson would presumably slide into the eighth-inning function currently occupied by Strickland, which is why the Giants could think about a offer.

Seattle Mariners: Not all small-league demotions are the identical. When it arrives to young players obtaining sent down suitable before the All-Star break, it is really normally just a way for significant league groups to exploit a loophole in the rostering procedures. That seems to be the scenario with Sam Gaviglio, who was sent to Triple-A Tacoma soon after a third consecutive loss on July 6. Prior to that seven-4 loss to Oakland, Gaviglio experienced posted a respectable 2.forty eight Period and .238 BAA in his prior six begins. With Seattle last but not least needing a fifth starter on Tuesday, manager Scott Servais suggests, “It’s almost certainly likely to be Sam.” Not the most glowing endorsement, but nevertheless the most probably determination.

Tampa Bay Rays: The bullpen just isn’t specifically the strongest element of the Rays’ roster suitable now, as the team’s 4.forty Period in relief ranks twenty second on the time over-all. Considering that June one, it is really a 5.01 Period (25th over-all). Jumbo Diaz was selected for assignment soon after letting runs in back again-to-back again video games this weekend. Justin Wilson of the Tigers may be at the major of the Rays’ would like checklist, but some new arms are obviously on the agenda likely forward. As manager Kevin Income reported Sunday, “(We have) received to have some far better, additional dependable selections.”

Texas Rangers: Alex Claudio pitched a few moments more than the weekend, preserving two video games and keeping the Royals off the board for a few innings. Andrew Cashner suggests Claudio’s general performance has earned him the nickname of Machete, proclaiming, “The very last couple days he is just coming in and slashing fellas down. He is been a distinctive reliever for us this calendar year.” Nonetheless, soon after getting into a tie activity on Sunday, it is really unclear whether or not he truly has a leg up on Matt Bush or Jose Leclerc the place the closer’s career is anxious. Continue to be tuned.

Toronto Blue Jays: Francisco Liriano lasted just two innings on Saturday before leaving the activity, the end result of neck tightness that now threatens — at a bare minimum — his up coming get started. “The additional I threw, it was obtaining even worse. (It) just feels truly sore and restricted,” reported Liriano. “I have no plan what it is.” This personal injury could not only impression Liriano’s probable trade benefit, but also diminish the chance that Toronto would be keen to trade away J.A. Happ. Immediately after all, someone has to pitch for this staff for the rest of 2017.

Washington Nationals: It was sure to come about eventually, although obtaining two probable closers from the identical staff was a little bit of a surprise. On Sunday, the Nationals acquired both equally Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle from Oakland, sending Blake Treinen back again to the staff that at first drafted him in 2011. Both of those pitchers are underneath contract for up coming time as effectively, so although it is really currently unclear which of these arms will shut video games for the rest of 2017, you will find a very good chance the person Dusty Baker settles on this calendar year will be the favored to get the the vast majority of will save in 2018 as effectively.
