We made it to another weekend. There are only ten of these weekends left this season

Yesterday’s game was the latest in a series of terrible games this year. I’m wondering if they can continue to go with Spencer Miles one of five starts. But then, I don’t know who the next choice is.

And it doesn’t look like we are going to get any help coming off the IL.

• Anthony Santander isn’t going to back anytime soon, he’s just had a cortisone shot because he ‘felt something’ in his shoulder and is shut down for 7 days. I’d bet he won’t be playing this year.

• Addison Barger still has elbow inflammation, he won’t be back until August at very best.

• Max Scherzer is back at the ‘playing catch’ phase.

• Yimi Garcia and Jesus Sanchez are closer to returning.

• And Jake Bloss is injured, with a shoulder injury. They don’t know how bad it is yet, but he won’t be pitching for a while.

The team is making changes to the back end of the bullpen again:

Adam Macko and CJ Van Eyk have been send down to Buffalo. Lázaro Estrada and Brendon Little are back. We haven’t seen Little in a while. He is still walking too many. In July he’s pitched 4.2 innings with 4 walks (one intentional) and 6 in 5.2 innings in June.
