My abacus, lap top and graphing calculator are here at Yankee stadium.
Yankees are up 11-3
Joba made his return. Gave up a home run to the first batter he faces. And was generally unimpressive. Lots of hard hit balls and 2 runs in 1 and 2/3 innings
Indians Derek Lowe continues to deteriorate as the season wears on, going just over 5 innings and giving up 7 runs, 4 of which were earned.
I suspect he'll be out of the rotation within the next 5-6 weeks.
As expected, Derek Lowe is now out of the Indians rotation, and has been designated for assignment to the minors by the team:
Lowe (8-10, 5.52) lost his last four starts. He opened the season at 6-1, but went 2-8 with a 8.28 ERA in his last 13 outings. In the second half last season with Atlanta, Lowe went 4-10 with a 6.20 ERA.
He should provide an immediate boost as Nats leftfielders have hit just .295/.348 on the season
Werth is capable of playing all 3 OF positions, and he may see time in either center or right, but guys like Steve Lombardozi (20% worse than an average hitter) won't be starting in the OF anymore.
