0:00.0 | Welcome to the First Pitch Podcast, brought to you by Pitcherlist.com, your daily morning podcast, updating you on everything you need to know to win your fantasy baseball league. |
0:14.1 | Here's your host, Jake Crumpler. |
0:18.1 | What's up, Fantasy Managers? Welcome back to another episode of the first pitch podcast brought to you by pittreless.com. |
0:24.8 | My name is Jake Crumpler, and it's the weekend. |
0:26.6 | So as always, I'll be taken over for Bubba as the host of this weekend edition of the podcast. |
0:31.1 | You can follow me at Jake Crumpler on Twitter and can find all of my work at Crumplerbaseball.com. |
0:36.7 | Let's dive into everything baseball related from Saturday, August 17th. |
0:41.0 | Starting off, as always, with the transactions, injuries, news, and notes from around the league. |
0:45.6 | We'll start with the bad news as starting pitcher Jose Soriano of the Angels was placed on the 15-day IL with right-arm fatigue. |
0:52.8 | It's understandable given Soriano's transition to starting this season. |

1:16.8 | with right shoulder fatigue. The same can be said for Lattel, as was said for Soriano. |

1:29.0 | reached since 2018, and the rays are also in a similar spot as the Angels, six and a half |
1:33.9 | games out of a wildcard spot. So Lattel will be brought back slowly and could be out for |
1:38.2 | the rest of the year if the team's playoff chances don't improve. Next, we have D.H. Andrew McCutcheon, who was placed on the 10-day I.L. |
1:44.5 | with left knee inflammation. McCutcheon has continued to be a productive hitter, even as a |
1:49.1 | DH in his late 30s. Unfortunately, his 2024 season will be put on hold following his knee injury. |
