Is Harrison even in Chicago? Playing another game without a full roster.
He was there yesterday. If it's only a game (or two) what do you do? Send him down? That would be a bold move and weaken the team for 8-10 days.
can't send him down but we have enough relievers that one could be sent down if someone is going to miss 3 games or more. For one or two you just go short handed.
Hoping that the personal matter is not an illness in his family.
This is another reason MLB and the Players Union should agree to have a 26 or 27 man roster, but you only activate 25 for each game. The day prior and the next days starting pitchers would be healthy scratches. I am sure the Union would like it since 30 or 60 additional players would be Union players.
They still would have been short handed for a day. If a hitter has a personal issue and has to leave the team, does it really help if you activate that starting pitcher in their spot? I'm not understanding your logic.
