Pitching Notes: Hamels, Quintana, M’s, Tigers

By Connor Byrne | August 10, 2020 at 9:57pm CDT

Left-hander Cole Hamels, whom the Braves placed on the 45-day injured list July 23, still has not thrown off a mound during his recovery from a triceps problem, Mark Bowman of MLB.com tweets. The Braves remain hopeful Hamels will pitch this year, though, per manager Brian Snitker. Of course, Hamels isn’t eligible to return until early September, so the Braves will get a very limited season from him at best. That wasn’t the outcome either side expected when the Braves signed the longtime workhorse to a one-year deal worth $18MM deal during the offseason. The Hamels injury is one of many issues the Braves’ rotation has encountered since then (most recently, they optioned lefty Sean Newcomb on Monday in the wake of a horrid performance), but the back-to-back NL East champions are still off to a solid start at 11-7.

  • Cubs southpaw Jose Quintana will throw a three-inning sim game Tuesday, Bruce Levine of 670 The Score reports. However, there’s still no word on when Quintana will make his 2020 debut after suffering a left thumb injury over a month ago. Even without Quintana, though, the Cubs’ rotation has come storming out of the gates. Entering Monday’s action, the Yu Darvish–Kyle Hendricks–Jon Lester–Tyler Chatwood–Alec Mills quintet was second in the game in FIP (2.76) and fourth in ERA (2.83)
  • The Mariners placed right-hander Carl Edwards Jr. on the injured list with a flexor mass strain in his forearm and recalled fellow righty Bryan Shaw from their alternate site, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times relays. Edwards’ injury sounds worrisome, though manager Scott Servais said it’s “not that serious.” But as Servais noted, even a couple weeks lost in a 60-game season is a significant amount of time. It’s unfortunate for the M’s and Edwards, who combined for an awful run in Chicago and San Diego from 2018-19 but who has come back nicely this year. He yielded one earned run on two hits and one walk (six strikeouts) across 4 2/3 innings before landing on the IL.
  • The Tigers placed righty Buck Farmer on the IL on Monday with a left groin strain and recalled righty Beau Burrows, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Farmer was a bright spot on a bottom-feeding Tigers team a year ago and has kept runs off the board at an even better clip this season, having allowed just two ER on four hits and three walks in 6 2/3 innings. On the negative side, Farmer has struck out only one hitter after fanning almost 10 per nine in 2019.

    Don’t the M’s have anyone better than Shaw to call up? He’s been a disaster so far.

      Seriously! I could pitch just as terrible as him.

        What’s your problem dude? You don’t like his 27.00 ERA or his 10 Hits in 3.3 innings? Maybe you don’t like his 1 strikeout in 4 appearances? Pfft! Fans! So fickle

        skyrockij89, I bet you could pitch much more terribly than Shaw. So could I.

      I was really hoping we’d bring up Sam Delaplane. Crossing my fingers Shaw will soon be replaced by Austin Adams.

    Sadly, Burroughs has not come remotely close to his 1st round pick potential. He has not shown much at all. Buck Farmer is the real deal. Fingers crossed BB can get 3 outs without any damage twice per week.

    the Hamels signing can be talked down on as much as one wants, but to act like him missing the whole season was likely from the moment the contract was signed was crazy.
