Yeah, I think catch tomorrow, probably take a day and then get back to catching, DH-ing, and then hopefully get up to Buffalo, play some games there and see where he's at.

Yeah, I think that's the initial plan.

Taxi squad for today.

Just want to see how tonight's game go, but definitely could factor in tomorrow in terms of length, bulk, see how tonight, you know, tonight goes with who we use and things like that.

But.

I think if we need him, he'll play into tomorrow's game from a length standpoint.

I think, you know, you could almost look at him as a traditional starter anywhere between 80 and 90 pitches, you know, if we need that.

And we'll see kind of who we use today, see how we start the game.

Again, that's if he's needed and if he's active and all those things.

Yeah, I mean, you always look at the top of their order, right?

Their top of the order is really good, guys having really good years.

I think it's limiting damage.

I think Pat's done a really good job of that since he's been here and kind of how they're built at the top of their order.

So I think it's pitching to weak contact, pitching to the big part of the field here,

You know, when you're talking about Acuna and Harris and Olsen for sure.

And I think right now the difference is he's using his changeup a lot more than he has in the past.

So that's a new wrinkle for them to be aware of, too, to both righties and lefties.

But definitely a really, really tough top of the order.

So really kind of pitching, you know, and understanding what kind of swings he's seeing and adjusting accordingly.

Yeah, you know, again, I'm trying to put the season into chunks, if you will, and definitely making progress in terms of how we played in May.
