It's having an effect on the bicep.

There is obviously, there's a lot going on nerve-wise between your shoulder and your bicep, which I have experienced before.

pretty recently myself, although I don't throw 97.

Uh, so my arm is probably having a lot less, uh, torque on it.

Um, the other one, and this is a mystery one.

So I apologize for not having an answer for you.

Uh, nobody got back to me on why Ricky Tiedemann was supposed to appear in a game for Dunedin yesterday out of the bullpen to the extent that he even did pregame media availability, uh, which isn't all that common.

Um,

you know, for a relief pitcher to do a scrum, but obviously Tiedemann's a big name and a big prospect.

He did not end up getting into the game, and I don't know why, and I have not received answers, although everyone is probably at the combine right now on the player development side for the Blue Jays, so not surprised I didn't get an answer.

Arjun Namal is expected to start a rehab stint soon.

He's on the AAIL with a hamstring issue.

I believe...

That is it.

Oh, Ernie Clement was out yesterday with that hip soreness that kept him out of a couple games on the weekend.

He was available as a pinch hitter.

Just something they're trying to manage right now.

It was a day game after a night game.

So it doesn't sound like an IL stint is necessary.

This is also your American League leading all-star voter.
