Schebler placed on disabled list. Corresponding move coming on Friday. #reds

I'd guess that Ervin gets called back up.

Hopefully it's just a few days. Ervin has been hitting well though.

Jesse Winker in RF.

oy.

I'd like to see the Reds use this opportunity to give Scooter some reps in the outfield and Dilson more playing time.

While I am not happy Schebler is injured, I am thrilled that the Reds didn't waste time putting him on the DL and bringing up someone so they can play with a full roster.

It’s probably retroactive to last Sunday and after the ASB there will be five days left. Teams do use the ASB in this way, if he recovers quickly he won’t miss many games.

I guess Scooter can roll the ball back to the infield after chasing it to the wall. Should be exciting.

Here's another possibility. Send Dilson back to the Mets along with A level pitchers for Wheeler. IIRC, Mets were high on Herrera before his injury. For the Reds it eases the 2B logjam and obviates signing a FA pitcher this off season.

Here's what I don't get, Duvall is the superior defender, why in the world is HE the one that stays in LF???

iirc he does not like RF. It's why Schebler is in RF despite a weaker arm than Duvall.

Yeah, that's what I thought I had heard too. Here's the thing. Screw that noise. Duvall should go to RF because that's the best thing for the team. Not overly impressed that he's had enough juice to force only playing in LF so that Winker has to stumble around RF...

It's not like Schebler don't have a middle arm too.

I just don't think these type of ideas work well in real life.
Scooter might be brought next year, maybe not. After 2019, isn't he a free agent (ie gone?)
He's really producing where he is, it is not really reasonable to ask him to play OF for a week or two, especially when it is just to give Herrera (a long shot) some playing time.
This reminds me of the talk about moving Votto to LF to accommodate Alonso, except Alonso was a much more promising prospect at the time.

Also, the plan seems to be to use Senzel as the long term 2b anyhow.

Scooter is not a long term solution, he's one of the top 3 hitters this year. Don't jerk him around.
Herrera has had injury problems, he passed through waviers unclaimed over the winter. He's not a high value player at this point. A week or two of Herrera playing great (if he does play great) doesn't really change much.. And honestly, Blandino has passed Herrera on the depth chart anyhow.

As harsh as this sounds, Herrera is chaff unless he proves otherwise. Sure, it's hard to prove that when he has limited playing time, but you got to play the odds.

I will never get this. Even when Schebler is in RF and Duvall LF it seems backwards.

Herrera might be chaff but I hope Blandino hasn't past anybody on the depth chart cause is chaff too with a 600 ops and bad defense.

I'd go off the board and add Gabby Guerrero. Ervin and Dixon have been hot, but Guerrero has been consistent all season. He's a better defender and a better candidate for the position. Maybe there will be more than one open spot by Friday's game.
