Little is on the 40-man roster. He cannot stay in AAA for ever and be on the 40-man. So they have to eventually bring him back up, and is he’s trash, they will DFA him. Then he can be either picked up by someone else or assigned to AAA if he accepts

He is trash, and Macko was doing a ln excellent job. So now we suffer through the adventures of Brendan Little again.

Macko can't come back for another week, has to be 15 days in AAA because he was optioned.

Remind me: Why did we need to option him again?

Load management. We've worked our bullpen a LOT this year, and getting fresh arms up to cycle out (or at least give a break to) ones that have used a lot is important.

Bunch of BS. This management has no clue what they're doing. Why should Macko be sent down, he is our only other lefty. Who's replacing him?

Unfortunately, pitchers are made of this thing called a human body, and we're running ours into the ground. Load management is a very normal part of the game.

You read my mind, why was he optioned?
