Call-Ups: Tim Collins, Joe Harvey

By Jeff Todd | April 10, 2019 at 1:19pm CDT

We’ll cover a few of the day’s notable call-ups in this post:

  • The Cubs will promote lefty Tim Collins to take the roster spot of injured starter Jon Lester, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPNChicago.com (via Twitter). Collins inked a MLB deal late this spring after being cut loose by the Twins and was optioned to open the season. He’ll try to help settle a relief unit that has sputtered out of the gates. Collins didn’t exactly excel last year with the Nats, but did make it his way back to full health and back up to the majors after several lost seasons. He has racked up an impressive number of strikeouts in 2019, with 13 in 9 1/3 spring innings and three more in 2 2/3 at Triple-A.
  • Joining the Yankees roster is right-handed reliever Joe Harvey, per a club announcement. The club dropped Jonathan Loaisiga back to Triple-A on optional assignment to clear active roster space; Harvey already owned a 40-man spot. With a pair of off-days in the upcoming schedule, Loaisiga can get some work in at Triple-A while the MLB club enjoys an extra reliever. Harvey will get his first taste of the majors at 27 years of age. Last year, he worked to an impressive 1.66 ERA with 10.1 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 in 54 1/3 innings over 38 appearances at the highest level of the minors.

    I have a theory for why Keuchel and Kimbrel are still unsigned, one may even call it a rumor…an mlb theory rumor!

    I think Kimbrel and Keuchel want to both sign for the same team at a very low price, but they will only sign if an MLB team offers Bartolo an MLB guaranteed contract. Teams are holding out on that risk, but it makes sense.

    Keuchel played for HOU, Bartolo played for TEX. They are in the same division, he probably knows who Bartolo is.

    Kimbrel played for ATL. Bartolo played for ATL. He probably knows who Bartolo is.

    So Bartolo possibly is holding up the market.

      One bad outing for ottavino, the rest were scoreless. Not worried about green and holder and chapman has been 96-98 last few times out. Agree they need some help at the moment but they’ll be fine.

    Based on recent performance the Cubs Bullpen Coach is seeking a Tom Collins.
