It’s September 1st, so we have our expanded roster call-ups.
Jose Fernandez’s contract has been selected by the team, and he will be in line to make his major league debut.
Sean Reid-Foley and Taylor Guerreri have been called up, with Reid-Foley set to make tomorrow’s start. Guerrieri hasn’t had a great season, but he’s on the 40-man roster so the team should see what they have in him. Guerrieri will also be making his major league debutl.
