Big Mike activated from the IL. Arraez heading to the IL. 

Sigh. One step forward, one step back. It never ends with this team.

Hopefully Buxton will be back soon.

Actually I don't think this hurts as much as it may appear.

Arraez has been slumping at the plate for awhile, and doesn't really have much of a spot to play at the moment, now that Polanco and Cruz are back in the lineup today. Along with Kirilloff, Larnach, hot hand Refsnyder -- even Garlick has had a few good games, and Gordon is still on the roster too.

Might as well give Arraez a few days off to heal while using the roster spot for something else.

Oh yeah, he hasn't been playing well lately, but it's likely due to the multiple injuries he's facing right now, which is what prompted my first comment.

Back dated several days, I presume? So basically out for just seven more days as a minimum rather than 10, right?

I'm sure it's back-dated, no reason not to do that.

I assume you've seen this since post, but Buxton had a set back. He can't decelerate. As you said, if it's not one thing it's another

I'm confused. Buxton has been able to decelerate this entire time? Then why did all those walls happen?

So he's like Forrest Gump, and just can't stop running?

I always heard that as meaning Harvard went into extra innings.
