We have an early game today, 3:00 Eastern time.

There is a roster move before the game:

  • Trevor Richards has been put on the IL with neck inflammation.
  • Bowden Francis has been recalled.

That is not good news; Richards has been important to our bullpen. Chad Green should be back soon, but he’s not likely to be able to go more than an inning at a go.

Francis has been up and down a bunch. He’s pitched 15.2 innings and has a 2.30 ERA with 12 hits, 3 home runs, 4 walks and 14 strikeouts.
