Pache called up

Ender has been going through this for quite a bit more than 20 games.

This is factually incorrect. Healthy Ender in 2019 was exactly the player he’s always been...quality CF defense, decent vs RHP, unplayable vs LHP, and frequently miscast as a “speedy leadoff guy who steal bases” despite not being very fast.

If he’s healthy, he’s the best CF option vs RHP. He appears to have remembered how to hit the ball to all fields, so there’s no reason to sit him.
 
Plus, it wouldn’t be 10 games of service time at this point. He’s only been up for 1 game, so it would only count as 3-4 games of service time. Yesterday was PPD and today is an off day. So if they are going to option him, today would be the day.
 
I guess with the back to back days off and one coming Monday, they dont need a 5th starter for awhile? Is why Wright is sent down. Man this rotation's a mess.

I think that's the primary reason—Wright has struggled, and with off days they will only need four "starters" for a little stretch, while they'll otherwise definitely need more arms in the bullpen.

Yeah. I counted rain out for some reason.
 
My apologies. I saw it on Twitter, and as someone pointed out it was a bit mudied. So he’s still on our active 40?

That’s not at all how service time works. It’s days on the roster, not games played. That’s why a full year of service time is 172 days covering 162 games over the full 186 day season.

186-172 = 14...which is why young players are held down for 15 days so they only accrue 171 days of service time. It has nothing to do with how many games are played in those days.

That makes sense. I thought it had to be days on the roster when there are games, therefor yesterday and today wouldn’t have counted. But your explanation makes more sense.

I was just going off memory. His awful start when he was injured stood out more than his return back to normal. That's my bad. I didn't realize how much back to normal he had gotten when healthy.
