Forgot to add in the update on injured players, so here it is!

Curtis Taylor - Forearm Inflammation - Out for 3 months in mid April.
This right handed reliever is in his fifth season with us after being a rule 5 draft pick prior to the 2020 season.
He has been amazing since we got him, but only appeared in four games prior to being injured.
Alex Faedo was recalled from AAA. He was on rehab assignment after a late spring injury put him on the IL.

Joan Adon - Torn UCL - Out over a year in early April.
This right handed reliever was acquired in trade from Colorado after the 2022 season.
He had a very successful 2023 in AAA (after never pitching in AA) and cracked our opening day lineup.
Only made it in to 4 games for us before being injured.
Cody Greenhill was called up as his replacement. He was originally acquired with Giovanny Gallegos before 2022 deadline.

Daz Cameron - Fractured Jaw - Out for 4-5 weeks
This right handed hitting outfielder had been playing alot in the early part of the season, but was not hitting very well (.614 OPS in 41 games).
I like that he is a captain, can play any OF position and his expectation is bench player.
We don't expect to have him back until early July after a rehab assignment to see if he regain his hitting stroke.
Nasim Nunez was recalled from AAA. I was going to force him in to the starting lineup, but our other 3 OF were doing quite good.
He doesn't have any OF experience, but he has the defensive ratings to do at an above average level.
He was originally acquired with Bobby Witt Jr. for Willi Castro during the 2022 season.

Joey Wentz - On rehab assignment (29 days left). Had strep throat when acquired off waivers.
He is turning 27 in early October, but he only has 66 days of "service time". He is out of options however.
He has very limited MLB experience (9 games, 2 starts), but in 74 AAA starts his ERA is 3.59, WHIP is 1.24, HR/9 is 0.8 and his K/9 is 6.7.
Also, he is a left hander with three pitches rated 60 or above. If we don't have room in the rotation, he might be a good bullpen weapon.

He also has a little bit of hitting skills. In 2022, he hit 8 homers in AAA in 138 PA's (.715 OPS, but small sample). Hence the 60 power rating.
Unfortunately, he has limited fielding skills, so he would limited to a backup 1B/DH or pinch hitter.
IRL he was with the Tigers in spring training after being acquired from Atlanta in the Shane Greene trade. He was 40th overall in 2016.
