Cavalli Only Lasts 4 Innings in Loss

) Andre Granillo struggled by giving up four late runs in two innings on the mound. Granilo afterwards was sent down to AAA-Rochester.

) Jackson Rutledge was DFA'd to make room for reliever Max Kranick on the 40-man roster. Rutledge was a 1st round draft choice from 2019 that did not pan out.

) James Wood came very close to hitting a homer and had to settle for a double. It was Wood's first extra-base hit in almost a week.

) Daylen Lile doubled in a rare show of power so far this season. Lile is tied for the team high in hits, but his OPS is only at .692.

) WIll Riley Adams get called up from AAA to take over for one of the scuffling catchers?

) Brady House did not start on Tuesday and we answer a listener question about House's usage.
