May 31, 20188 yr I doubt very much that Slegers will be called upon to be the Designated Hitter next Tuesday. Are you sure? This is an organization that started Jason Tyner at DH in a playoff game.
June 4, 20188 yr I posted a version of this question in the Game Thread, but it was in the middle of the frivolity of the comeback and nobody answered. Anybody know the answer? There is general agreement that with being originally scheduled in Rochester, Slegers was the likely call-up for the DH next Tuesday. Until last night's marathon, however. Instead, Slegers got called up and pitched well tonight. So here's my question: If Mauer was activated and Slegers sent down in the next couple days, Slegers would normally have to be down 10 days. But didn't I read somewhere that a player in his situation CAN be used as the 26th man, sent back down, and have his 10-day requirement picked up from that spot? If so, this seems like a brilliant move.Seems like a kosher move, but unlikely. I bet it’s Littell https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/zack-littell-likely-to-debut-tuesday/c-279611770
