Chris Bassitt has offered to pitch in long relief before the All-Star break, having only thrown 78 pitches last night. With four games left before the break and an off-day tomorrow, he would be on regular rest for the last game before the break.
D. Schneider on success since recall stated, 'getting more reps, getting more comfortable.' Schneider also emphasized the importance of not taking their 'foot off the gas.'
Regular playing time aids young players in their performance. The understanding of consistent at-bats alleviates the pressure of having to perform in every game.
Will Wagner is in the fifth lineup spot despite a .247 slugging average, suggesting that his placement in the middle of the order might not be justified.
