Tough pitching match-up tonight. The last time these two pitchers faced off, Aaron Harang beat the crap out of several items in the dugout in frustration over the lack of run support. The Reds only managed two hits off of Wandy Rodriguez in that game while striking out 10 times. Obviously we'll want to see some improvement from the offense tonight if the Reds are going to have a shot at winning.
Edwin Encarnacion will be moved to the disabled list with a wrist injury today. Adam Rosales will get the call up from Louisville and should be at the park in time for the game. It's really annoying that this is probably something that Edwin has been dealing with since Spring Training. The Reds wasted at least two weeks of recovery time, and three weeks of having a nothing bat in their lineup. Another botched handling of an injury by the Reds.
It's been a wet one here in Cincinnati today, pretty much raining from the get go. However, it looks like the rain is done except for a few pop up showers, so we should be able to get this game in without a hitch. Given how the Reds hit off of Rodriguez last time out, that may not necessarily be a good thing though.

Let's hope
the DL does Edwin good. How long do Bone Chips take to recover from? It’d be nice to get him healthy, and a good rehab assignement in and have him back before by mid to late May.

The Fay substitute said
It’s not bone chips, it’s a chip fracture.
The Reds just placed 3B Edwin Encarnacion on the disabled list. An MRI today showed a chip fracture in Encarnacion’s left wrist. The injury was suffered on a swing during his final plate appearance last night, the Reds said. Encarnacion will be in a cast for 1 week, after which time the cast will be removed and he will be re-evaluated.
Which is good, because I think you need surgery if it’s bone chips.

It happened last night. His last PA he was rung up looking.

maybe that's why he didn't swing?
He did foul off two pitches in that at bat.

"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
The Reds seem to do this a lot
They send a guy to the DL with a “recent” injury even though he’s been hurt for a while and has been sucking. It’s like they are in denial and don’t want to look bad. I agree with your post, Slyde. This was a mishandling of this injury.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Wouldn't you need a bone chip to fracture
To get a chip fracture. I’m no doctor but I sometimes read good.
Ok, a search for "chip fracture" was much less helpful
The only player that Will Carrol mentions with a chip fracture is Brandon Inge in 2007, and that was in his toe. He was day-to-day and available to play based on his pain tolerance.
I did a quick search of old Will Carrol articles on BP
And I couldn’t find one person who has had bone chips in his wrist in the past few years. All of the other players had bone chips in their elbows or knees, and most of them were pitchers. One hitter who recently had bone chips in his elbow was Victor Martinez, and that required him to miss a few weeks (complicated by the fact that he is a catcher).
FWIW
I broke a bone in my wrist about 8 years ago. Come to find out it was the hamate bone, and I was told that many baseball/tennis players fracture it during a swing. Maybe that’s what he hurt?
NOTE: I broke mine in half and the pieces had to be removed so I was in a cast for 5-6 weeks after surgery. It happened when I got mad in a game of basketball and smacked the padding behind the goal because I was a hot headed moron in my youth.
I miss the old days of the internet when men were men, hot girls were middle aged men, and hot underage girls were FBI agents.....
Andyfan
suffered a broken hamate bone. Poor guy. He was finally hitting well, and finally seemed to have a safe spot on the roster…when he was HBP on the wrist.
Like you, he had to have surgery. He missed the rest of the season, and though he was cleared to play by the post-season, he hadn’t had any rehab games. The minor leagues were done for the year. So he was left off the postseason roster. Then DFA’d in December.
I was surprised that he could have his hamate bone removed without losing any function, but apparently, the surgeon will hook up the tendons and muscles to other bones. It’s a pretty routine surgery.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Kind of cool
Rosales could play in both AAA and MLB today, earlier he went 2-4 with 2 singles and committed an error for the Bats.

I thought for sure this would have been a BubbaFan post.

Any chance Rosales gets here quickly enough to get into the lineup?
Cherry at 3rd scares the hell out of me.
"I can eat mayonnaise with a spoon." - Jeff Brantley
He'll be there in time to play
But he’ll probably be buried behind Janish.
I really hate the way Dusty uses his bench. They need to play more than he lets them.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
you are probably right
but I would rather see a more stable, everyday line up. I also would rather see some one other than Cherry at third.
Hope Springs Eternal!
They wouldn't play him regardless
I’m ABSOLUTELY FASCINATED to see if Rosales gets slotted into the starting lineup at 3B or if it becomes a McFlurry/CDick platoon in left and Cherry at 3B. All logic and reason argues against this happening, but Dusty is our manager.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
It is amazing how he under utilizes the bench, well at least when it comes to Janish/Hannigan
Janish could play second and give BP a day off. Phillips has not missed an inning yet this year, and I am not sure why Dusty is so eager to have his sub .200 avg in the game at all times.
He needs to have someone to give the other team's second baseman a workout

From Fay
So will Adam Rosales play third in Encarnacion’s absence?
“We’ll see,” Baker said. “He’ll play. Everybody plays.”
Rosales was hitting .431 at Triple-A Louisville with four home runs and 15 RBI.
Soft J might beg to differ

He’s actually capable of playing the position, as he showed in ST, and deserves the start a hell of a lot more than Darnell does, even if it’s for one day.

He sure did
He muffed the grounder hit hard to him and then he threw it wide of Harang covering first allowing Bourn to score

Because we are dealing with a new Harang

You are right it was not a random blowup
I would assert that it was because of his poor run support for the year as well as frustrated that he did not survive the inning, among other things. Hell, he could of been upset that N*SYNC is not getting together for a summer series, I do not really know. But to assume that he is going to yell at Votto for a run-scoring miscue does not seem to take in the total history of Harang with the Reds. He is usually a stoic person, that is what made his blow-up so memorable.
Pronto trusts his sources on that
He must know Harang’s therapist or something.

Why is McDonald on the roster?
Another Reds charity case?
He makes the best muffin sandwiches in the clubhouse before every game?

Matsui was on 2nd with no outs.
Perhaps they assume he gets to third on the grounder, then comes in on a sac fly.

Live show was fantastic
I’ve seen some odd stuff down in counter culture, NC, so weirdness is probably diluted a bit on me at this point. But if you get the chance, go. Definitely different from the albums. Only thing Britain has going for it is its wealth of music.

Jay Gibbons must be a multimillionaire
I’m kind of surprised he doesn’t just retire.
Oneli Perez is on the roster, too. He was in the Yankees system at one point.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
There are a lot of familiar names
Pete Rose Jr. was released, according to their transaction report.
Adam Greenberg, briefly with the Reds, is now on the roster of the Bridgeport Bluefish. He’s the guy who was beaned by the first (and only) pitch he saw in the big leagues. Luis Taveras is a catcher for the York Revolution. Yes, he’s Willy’s brother. Daryl Harang is a pitcher for the Revolution. Yes, he’s Aaron’s brother.
