Yankees To Place J.A. Happ On DL

By Jeff Todd | August 2, 2018 at 12:39pm CDT

The Yankees will send just-acquired lefty J.A. Happ to the 10-day disabled list, per George A. King III of the New York Post (via Twitter). He has been dealing with a bout of hand, foot and mouth disease, which likely explains the placement.

Happ had been scheduled to start on Saturday in a showdown with the division-rival Red Sox. The Boston organization will be throwing their own recent deadline acquisition, Nathan Eovaldi, though it’s also missing a lefty for the series after placing Chris Sale on the DL recently.

At the moment, it seems there’s little reason to fear that Happ will miss significant action. That’s obviously the hope in the Bronx, given that the organization just made the southpaw its major rotation addition in advance of the trade deadline. Happ’s first outing was a promising one, as he spun six frames of three-hit, one-run ball.

In his absence, the Yanks could conceivably turn to any of their three extra 40-man starters — Domingo German, Jonathan Loaisiga, and Luis Cessa — though it seems it’ll be Cessa. DJ Eberle of the Times Leader tweeted last night that the righty will be promoted along with recently acquired first baseman Luke Voit.

    There’s been no word on loaisiga has there? Would much rather see him in there but he’s still hurt apparently

      Yeah, Loaisiga looked great in his few starts. Can’t imagine why they wouldn’t want him pitching, unless it’s an injury.

        Both he and German are still on the minor league DL.

    That’s too bad. I, for one, was hoping to see the Red Sox tee off on him in a NYY uniform.

      JA Happ in 2018 vs BOS: 10.2IP 1ER
      JA Happ in 2017 vs BOS: 23.2IP 5ER
      JA Happ in 2016 vs BOS: 19.1IP 5ER

      Anything can happen, he could certainly have had a bad start vs the Sox this weekend, but it’s just plain stupid to pretend like it was a foregone conclusion.

      In fact, I believe he was targeted by Cashman BECAUSE of his success against the Red Sox.

        Mookie Betts would disagree with this.

        • TrimReaper

          Betts never gets that chance if Toronto had just average D in that inning (side note: the bomb Betts hit was pretty awesome)

        • Adam6710

          4 years ago

          Nothing to disagree with. Those are cold hard statistics. And while Betts does have 2HR off Happ, he is just 6-36 off of him (good for a .188 BA).

          It would really help if people would actually look up stats before making comments like this.

        • Ken M.

          4 years ago

          And if Mookie swung his bat 1/2 an inch higher, he hits it for a grand slam. We can play this a ton of ways.

        • Karkat

          4 years ago

          The line for 2018 is a little misleading. Got tagged for 5 unearned runs in 3.2 IP (98 pitches) in his last start at Fenway, and while the fielding error behind him did extend the inning and let one player reach, his wild pitch, walk, and then home run ball to Betts are really on him. So 2-3 of those were pretty much entirely on him, ultimately.

        • Adam6710

          4 years ago

          A wild pitch, a walk, and a home run all in one inning certainly doesn’t do much to diminish his strong line vs the Sox.

          But keep avoiding the point: Happ folding vs the Sox is not something that could be counted on. OP acted as if it was a foregone conclusion like a Sonny Gray start or something.

        • thegreatcerealfamine

          4 years ago

          Karkat, Dewey, Bruin, and a few others are fairly knowledgeable Sox fans, you on the other hand.

        • Karkat

          4 years ago

          The 2018 Red Sox lineup is a pretty different entity than the last couple seasons, so it does compromise the integrity of the already-small sample size to a degree.

          What it boils down to for me: he had one good start and one not so good start against the Sox this year. I’m sure the next one will be interesting, whenever it is now (I’m kind of bummed, I wanted the cool narrative that came with the Eovaldi/Happ matchup that was scheduled for Saturday :c)

        • Karkat

          4 years ago

          I mean, the point that “Happ folding vs the Sox is not something that could be counted on.” is perfectly valid, I just don’t think it’s as one-sided in the other direction as the presented numbers were being used to suggest.

        • Adam6710

          4 years ago

          When did I claim to be a knowledgeable Sox fan? I’m just pointing out stupidity where it clearly is just sitting there in the sun waiting to rot.

        I, for one is a phrase used for emphasizing what you believe or think, even if other people disagree, like yankee fans in this instance.

      qbass enjoy your red sox this year, because i have a feeling that the 21st century will be repeating the 20th century. red sox win a couple early then go 80+ years of misery. 2018, just like 1918, might be the last for awhile, especially with what cashman has done with intl signings.

          Even if they were, it’s a professional league where the players get paid for their services. I have always thought that complaint to be the whiniest thing I ever heard.

      “trying to buy every player on the market” give us your list of players on the current Yankees that were bought. Put daddy’s IPad away young man, then go outside and play with your action figures.

      And how does that serve them right? Or Happ? Btw- your statement is pretty inaccurate as well as insensitive to Happ. Name one player in the Yankee lineup that was bought? Most were acquired by trade and the rest were developed in MILB.

          Trades=the exchange of players or Cash considerations.
          Bought=the signing of free agents
          “I think the poster just meant bought as in trades for” he was both technically and wholeheartedly wrong.

    Did anyone else see how Sonny Gray reacted when he was pulled from the game? He smiled as he was coming off the mound after giving up 6 runs in 2 innings to the worst team in Major League Baseball. No one has seemed to mention that.

      everyone talked about it, are you kidding me? michael kay even brought it up later in the game.

      also, have you never smiled at yourself in disbelief? even during a bad/embarrassing moment? people laugh when they are uncomfortable or nervous sometimes. im sure it was something just like that. nothing more.

        Yeah I wasn’t watching the Yankees feed, I was on the highlight shows so they didn’t get into the commentary about it. Just wondering if there was any negative buzz about it, I’m glad that there wasn’t. But we all know how people can over-react to things like that, like Begamin said; sometimes all you can do is smile and just throw your hands up, I get it.
