Blue Jays GM Atkins values depth over potential in questionable roster decision

Manoah can still clear waivers and stay with the Blue Jays but it would be just as shocking to see all of the other 29 teams let the 6'6" 285lbs right hander just swim on by without making a claim on him. He has potential, he's shown flashes of it as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery. And while General Manager Ross Atkins comments about the decision don't feel great to hear as a fan, they unfortunately seem logical from a business stand point.

MLB News: Detroit Tigers pitching, Javier Baez, Shohei Ohtani, Rafael Devers

Flaherty, at his best, is a perfectly viable Game 2 starter. But his performance this season has fluctuated as wildly as it did for the Los Angeles Dodgers in last year's playoffs, when he followed his two best starts with poor ones. He warrants only so much trust. With the emerging Melton, Holton and perhaps Brant Hurter, who is currently on the injured list with back soreness at Triple A, the Tigers will not lack for bulk-inning candidates.

Braves Select John Brebbia

The Braves announced Friday that they've selected the contract of right-hander John Brebbia from Triple-A Gwinnett. Atlanta also recalled righty Nathan Wiles from Gwinnett, while lefty and righty Wander Suero were optioned to Triple-A. The Braves already had a pair of 40-man vacancies, so they won't need a corresponding 40-man move to accommodate Brebbia's addition. The pair of promotions will provide manager Brian Snitker with some fresh arms after yesterday's blowout loss to the division-rival Phillies.
