Brewers, Corey Knebel Avoid Arbitration
By Connor Byrne | December 10, 2019 at 4:14pm CDT
The Brewers have avoided arbitration with right-hander reliever Corey Knebel, whom they've signed to a one-year contract, the team announced. Knebel had been projected to earn $5.125MM in 2020, his penultimate year of arbitration eligibility.
The 2019 campaign was a lost season for Knebel, who underwent Tommy John surgery in late March. At last check, though, Knebel was recovering well from the procedure.
Going forward, the return of a healthy Knebel should be a boon for the Brewers. The hard-throwing Knebel, now 28 years old, truly came into his own from 2017-18. During that two-year span, he posted a sterling 2.54 ERA/2.74 FIP with 14.66 K/9 and 4.25 BB/9 across 131 1/3 innings. Knebel also added 55 saves along the way. The fact that the Brewers made the postseason without him in 2019 makes their run all the more impressive, but he should be able to factor in next year as they go for a third straight playoff berth.

NL Injury Notes: Baez, Weaver, Brewers, Rockies
By Connor Byrne | September 17, 2019 at 6:57pm CDT
The Cubs will evaluate shortstop Javier Baez by week's end to see when he'll be able to start rehab activity, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times tweets. The club has been without Baez for just about all of September because of a hairline fracture in his left thumb, and it's likely the injury will prevent the star from suiting up again in the regular season as Chicago tries to at least earn a wild-card berth. The Baez-less Cubs have been turning to recently recalled youngster Nico Hoerner at short, and fortunately for them, he has begun his career in outstanding fashion. Thanks in part to Hoerner's contributions, the Cubs are 6-2 dating back to his Sept. 9 debut.
More injury updates from around the National League…
Diamondbacks right-hander Luke Weaver may be a "couple days" from returning to a major league mound, per Zach Buchanan of The Athletic. Weaver threw a successful bullpen session Tuesday as he works back from forearm and ulnar collateral ligament issues that have shelved him since late May. The offseason acquisition, who joined the D-backs via their Paul Goldschmidt trade with the Cardinals, had been amid a stellar campaign before landing on the shelf. Weaver owns a 3.03 ERA/3.11 FIP with 9.82 K/9 and 2.02 BB/9 in 62 1/3 innings on the season. While Arizona's playoff hopes have faded this year, the hope is Weaver and fellow young righty Zac Gallen will be among those to help drive the team back into contention in 2020.
Brewers righty reliever Corey Knebel is "continuing to make progress" in his recovery from the Tommy John procedure he underwent in March, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel relays. Knebel expects to return to throwing from a mound when spring training rolls around, per Haudricourt. It's all the more impressive on the Brewers' part that they're in the thick of the wild-card hunt without having received anything from Knebel, who was one of their best bullpen options from 2017-18.
Rockies southpaw Kyle Freeland is nearing a late-season return, according to Nick Groke of The Athletic. A strained groin has kept Freeland from taking a big league mound since Aug. 20, but he'll be able to make two more starts (albeit at just two to three innings per appearance) this year, Groke notes. Freeland will attempt to end his surprisingly dismal season on a high note when he suits up again. One of the NL's premier pitchers just a year ago, Freeland has been just the opposite in 2019. The 26-year-old has logged a 6.98 ERA/6.13 FIP across 99 1/3 frames, and his struggles led the Rockies to demote him to the minors earlier in the season.

Corey Knebel To Undergo Tommy John Surgery
By Jeff Todd | March 29, 2019 at 4:02pm CDT
Brewers reliever Corey Knebel has elected to undergo Tommy John surgery, he tells reporters including Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (Twitter link). The rehab process will take him out of action for all of the 2019 season and quite likely some of 2020 as well.
Knebel had been weighing the replacement of his right ulnar collateral ligament after speaking with multiple physicians. Evidently, it was less than a clear-cut decision, but he ultimately decided to bite the bullet rather than taking an uncertain rehab course that may only have delayed the inevitable.
The 27-year-old hurler had already agreed to a $5.125MM arbitration salary in his second season of eligibility. As a former Super Two qualifier, he's eligible twice more. Whether the Brewers elect to tender him a contract next fall may depend upon how his rehab is progressing. Knebel would stand to earn a repeat of this season's salary, which may be a bit of an expensive gamble. The presence of another season of arb eligibility certainly boosts the merits of a tender.
No matter how the future plays out, the reality at present is that the Brewers are down a key arm in the pen. Though he wasn't as dominant last year as he had been in 2017, Kluber still ran up 55 1/3 innings of 3.58 ERA ball while recording an eye-popping 14.3 K/9 against 3.6 BB/9. Thankfully, the unit is still headlined by Josh Hader and Jeremy Jeffress (once he's off the IL), but there's little question it's weakened from its '18 levels.

Corey Knebel Weighing Tommy John Surgery
March 28: Knebel has received opinions from three doctors and is weighing whether to undergo surgery or attempt a rest and rehab approach, per Todd Rosiak and Haudricourt. He'll make a decision tomorrow.
March 21, 8:09pm: GM David Stearns says the team still isn't sure how to label the damage to Knebel's UCL, as Haudricourt tweets. But the organization "know[s] it's damaged to some extent."
6:52pm: Knebel has an injury to his ulnar collateral ligament, Counsell told reporters this evening. (Via Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel; links to Twitter.) That's certainly worrying at first glance, though it's said not to be a complete tear of the ligament. It's also not a new injury, though it's not clear whether additional damage may have been incurred.
At the moment, it's not known whether the malady will require surgery and/or end Knebel's season before it begins. He's slated to receive a second opinion.
12:45pm: Brewers closer Corey Knebel will have his right elbow examined today, manager Craig Counsell revealed to reporters (Twitter link via Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel). The Athletic's Robert Murray had previously written that he was taking a step back from throwing due to elbow discomfort. Counsell acknowledged that there is some cause for concern.
The Knebel injury makes it all the more apparent why Milwaukee has recently been in contact with Craig Kimbrel to discuss a potential fit. It was already known that Jeremy Jeffress would open the season on the injured list — though president of baseball operations David Stearns said this week that Jeffress could be back by mid or late April. It now seems likely that Knebel will join him there to begin the year.
Knebel, Jeffress and Josh Hader combined for much of the regular season to form an overpowering bullpen trio. Each of the three posted K/9 marks of 10.5 or better, while Hader and Jeffress checked in with ERAs south of 2.50. Knebel's ERA wasn't quite as eye-popping, thanks largely to a late August slump, but he didn't allow a run over his final 16 1/3 innings of the regular season and posted a ridiculous 33-to-3 K/BB ratio along the way. On the season, he averaged 14.3 strikeouts per nine innings pitched.
There's no indication that Jeffress' shoulder issue is a long-term concern, but the situation surrounding Knebel, to this point, is more ominous (or at least more vague). If the Brewers do ultimately turn to Kimbrel in light of the bullpen issues that have cropped up this spring, they'd have to part with their fourth-round draft selection due to the fact that Kimbrel rejected a qualifying offer from the Red Sox. The Brewers already forfeited their third-round pick to sign Yasmani Grandal, and their current payroll projects at a franchise-record $127.5MM.

Players Avoiding Arbitration: National League
By Steve Adams,Jeff Todd and TC Zencka | January 12, 2019 at 12:15pm CDT
The deadline for players and teams to exchange arbitration figures passed yesterday at 1pm ET, and there has been a landslide of settlements on one-year deals to avoid an arbitration hearing. We'll track those settlements from the National League in this post. Once all of the day's settlements have filtered in, I'll organize them by division to make them a bit easier to parse.
It's worth mentioning that the vast majority of teams have adopted a "file and trial" approach to arbitration, meaning that once arbitration figures are exchanged with a player, negotiations on a one-year deal will cease. The two parties may still discuss a multi-year deal after that point, but the majority of players who exchange figures with their team today will head to an arbitration hearing.
As always, all salary projections referenced within this post are courtesy of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz, and we'll also be updating our 2019 Arbitration Tracker throughout the day…
Rounding out contract numbers for the St. Louis Cardinals, Dominic Leone will take home $1.26MM, Chasen Shreve will make $900K, and outfielder Marcell Ozuna will earn $12.25MM in his last season before free agency, per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand (via Twitter). Ozuna has the most high-impact potential as he looks to rebound from a still-productive season in 2018 that saw his power output hindered at times by a balky shoulder. He still managed 23 home runs and a .280/.325/.433 slash line while playing just about every day outside of a 10-day DL stint late in August.
The Diamondbacks came to terms with a slew of players, per Feinsand (via Twitter), including Matt Andriese for $920K, Steven Souza Jr. for $4.125MM, shortstop Nick Ahmed for $3.6625MM, and potential closer Archie Bradley for $1.83MM.
The Rockies and starting pitcher Jon Gray have come to an agreement on a $2.935MM deal, per Feinsand (via Twitter). Gray had an up-and-down 2018 that is generally considered to be more promising than the optics of his 5.12 ERA make it seem.
The Pirates have come to terms on one-year deals with both of their arbitration eligible players, per Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Left fielder Corey Dickerson signs for $8.5MM, and reliever Keone Kela takes home $3.175MM. It's a small arb class for the Pirates, whose list will grow next season as players like Josh Bell, Jameson Taillon, and Joe Musgrove, among others, reach their first season of eligibility.
The Dodgers signed a couple of their remaining arbitration-eligible players yesterday, USA Today's Bob Nightengale (Twitter links). Utility man Chris Taylor has a $3.5MM deal, while outfield Joc Pederson settled at $5MM.
Earlier Updates
Outfielder David Peralta has a $7MM deal with the Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand (via Twitter).
Trevor Story has settled for $5MM with the Rockies, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com (via Twitter).
The Dodgers have lined up deals with all of their arbitration-eligible players, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports (Twitter links). Shortstop Corey Seager is slated to receive $4MM as a first-time arb eligible player. Seager had only a $2.6MM projection, but was clearly rewarded for the excellent output he turned in before missing all of the 2018 season due to Tommy John surgery. Reliever Josh Fields went for $2.85MM, Hoornstra adds on Twitter.
Yasiel Puig has struck a $9.7MM deal with his new team, the Reds, per MLB.com's Mark Sheldon (via Twitter).
The Mets have inked three notable players. Righty Zack Wheeler shook hands at $5.975MM, MLB.com's Mark Bowman tweets. Likewise, outfielder Michael Conforto ($4.025MM) and lefty Steven Matz ($2.625MM) have agreed to terms, per Mike Puma of the New York Post (Twitter links).
Staying in the division, the Braves also have a trio of new deals today. Starter Kevin Gausman agreed at $9.35MM, righty Dan Winkler at $1.61MM, and lefty Sam Freeman at $1.375MM, per David O'Brien of The Athletic (Twitter link).
The Phillies have agreements in place with all of their arb-eligible players except for star righty Aaron Nola, the club announced. Per MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, the salaries came in at $1.35MM for Aaron Altherr, $1.925MM for Jose Alvarez, $5.2MM for Maikel Franco, $7.75MM for Cesar Hernandez, $1.1MM for Adam Morgan, and $2.249MM for Vince Velasquez.
Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw has agreed to a $4.675MM salary, while righty Zach Davies settled at $2.6MM, per MLB.com's Adam McCalvy (via Twitter).
Cubs righty Carl Edwards Jr. secured a $1.5MM salary, per Patrick Mooney of The Athletic (via Twitter).
Southpaw Adam Conley will earn $1.125MM with the Marlins, Murray tweets.
The Marlins and J.T. Realmuto reached a $5.9MM agreement for the upcoming season, tweets Jon Heyman of Fancred. As perhaps the premier trade chip in baseball, Realmuto's salary is of particular note for interested teams. He'd been projected at $6.1MM and can be controlled for another two seasons. Meanwhile, infielder Miguel Rojas will earn $3.155MM, per Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (on Twitter). He's controllable through 2020 and was projected to earn $2.6MM, so he quite nicely topped our projection.
Anthony DeSclafani agreed to a $2.125MM salary with the Reds, tweets Murray, which tops his $2.1MM projection by a narrow sum of $25K. The oft-injured righty will be expected to play a key role in an improving Cincinnati rotation this season and can be controlled through 2020.
The D-backs and third baseman Jake Lamb are in agreement on a $4.825MM salary for next season, Murray tweets. That closely resembles the $4.7MM projection for Lamb, who'll look to bounce back from shoulder troubles and reestablish himself before reaching free agency after the 2020 season.
The Diamondbacks and Taijuan Walker settled at $5.025MM, tweets Murray. Walker, who'll miss a portion of the 2019 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last April, had been projected to earn the same $4.825MM he made last season, which is common for players who miss an entire season. However, he'll get a small raise after making three starts. Walker is controlled through 2020.
Junior Guerra and the Brewers agreed at $2.225MM, Murray tweets, which checks in a bit south of Guerra's $2.7MM projection. The late-blooming righty is controlled through the 2022 season. Murray adds that catcher Manny Pina will earn $1.6MM next year after being projected at $1.8MM. He's controllable through 2021.
Padres right-hander Kirby Yates agreed to a $3.0625MM deal that falls nicely in line with his $3MM projection, Murray tweets. Controlled for another two seasons, Yates has established himself as a high-quality reliever in recent years and figures to be among the game's more prominent trade chips this summer.
Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett has agreed to a $9.775MM salary for his final season of club control prior to free agency, tweets Nightengale Jr. He falls a bit shy of his $10.7MM projection, though a near-$10MM payday for Gennett is nonetheless indicative of how much he's elevated his status since being claimed by the Reds two years ago.
Righty Michael Wacha and the Cardinals are in agreement on a $6.35MM salary that is within striking distance of his $6.6MM projection (Twitter link via Nightengale). Wacha will be a free agent next winter.
The Mets agreed to a $6MM salary with right-hander Noah Syndergaard, tweets Nightengale. That comes in $100K north of the $5.9MM projection for "Thor," who is still controllable for another three seasons.
Thomas Harding of MLB.com tweets that the Rockies agreed to a $960K salary for the 2019 season with catcher Tony Wolters. A rough season at the plate didn't help Wolters' earning power, and he'll come in a bit shy of his $1.1MM projection. Murray tweets that the Rox are also in agreement with southpaw Tyler Anderson on a $2.625MM salary. He'd been projected for $2.9MM. Wolters is controllable for another four years as a Super Two player, while Anderson can be controlled for three.
Newly acquired Brewers left-hander Alex Claudio agreed to a $1.275MM salary for the 2019 season, Murray tweets. Claudio, who can be controlled by Milwaukee for three seasons, was projected to earn $1.3MM.
Trea Turner and the Nationals avoided a hearing by settling on a one-year deal worth $3.725MM, tweets Murray. That figures to represent one of the more significant misses from MLBTR's arbitration algorithm this season, as Turner had been projected at $5.3MM as a first-time-eligible Super Two player. The star-caliber shortstop will nonetheless be poised for enormous earnings in arbitration, as he'll be eligible three more times before reaching free agency after the 2022 season.
Cubs lefty Mike Montgomery avoided arbitration with a one-year, $2.44MM contract, tweets Wittenmyer. Montgomery, eligible for arbitration for the first time and controllable for another three years, was projected to earn $3MM.
The Rockies and right-hander Chad Bettis settled on a $3.35MM salary for 2019, tweets Nightengale. He'd been projected at $3.2MM and is controlled through the 2020 season.
Giants reliever Will Smith has agreed to a $4.225MM salary for his final season of team control, Nightengale tweets. Smith's outstanding 2018 season will push his arbitration salary a bit north of his $4.1MM projection as he gears up for his final season before reaching free agency.
Diamondbacks southpaw Robbie Ray is set to earn $6.05MM next season after agreeing to a one-year deal, per Nightengale. That lands with in $50K of Ray's $6.1MM projection. The left-hander is controlled through the 2020 season.
The Marlins and right-hander Jose Urena settled at a $3.2MM salary for the 2019 campaign, Murray tweets, That figure checks in a bit shy of the $3.6MM projected for Urena, who is arb-eligible for the first time this offseason and remains under club control through the 2021 season. Meanwhile, Nightengale tweets that Dan Straily will earn a $5MM salary in 2019, topping his $4.8MM projection by $200K. Straily can be controlled through 2020.
Kyle Schwarber and the Cubs have avoided arbitration with a one-year deal worth $3.39MM, tweets Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times. That checks in slightly north of his $3.1MM projection as a first-time eligible player. Schwarber is controlled for another three seasons.
The Braves and righty Dan Winkler settled at $1.61MM, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com (Twitter link). That tops MLBTR's projection by the slightest of margins, at $10K. Winkler is controllable through the 2020 season.
Right-hander/pinch-hitter extraordinaire Michael Lorenzen and the Reds settled at $1.95MM, tweets Murray. He'd been projected to earn $1.9MM. Lorenzen is a Super Two player who's eligible for arbitration for the second time this winter. Cincinnati can control him through the 2021 season, and he'll be arb-eligible twice more. Bobby Nightengale Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer adds that Jose Peraza agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.775MM. The shortstop is a first-time eligible Super Two player who'd been projected at $3.6MM.
The Braves announced that they've signed Charlie Culberson to a one-year deal worth $1.395MM, which lines up near perfectly with his $1.4MM projection. It's his first trip through the arbitration process, and the Braves can control him through the 2021 season. Murray tweets that the Braves also settled at $2.875MM with outfielder Adam Duvall, who'd been projected at $3.1MM.
Corey Knebel and the Brewers settled on a one-year, $5.125MM salary for the upcoming season, tweets Murray. The right-hander is in his second trip through arbitration as a Super Two player and had been projected at $4.9MM. He's controlled through the 2021 season.
The Cubs and right-hander Kyle Hendricks agreed to a one-year deal worth $7.405MM, tweets Fancred's Jon Heyman. He'd been projected at $7.6MM and will be arb-eligible once more next winter before reaching free agency.
Right-hander Mike Foltynewicz and the Braves settled at one year and $5.475MM, tweets Bob Nightengale of USA Today, which lines up very closely with his $5.5MM projection. Folty's breakout season netted him a substantial raise from last year's $2.2MM, and he'll be arb-eligible twice more before reaching free agency after the 2021 season.
Braves closer Arodys Vizcaino has agreed to a one-year deal worth $4.8MM, tweets Robert Murray of The Athletic. That matches his $4.8MM salary projection on the dot. It's the 28-year-old's final season of arbitration eligibility, as he'll be a free agent next winter.
The Diamondbacks avoided arbitration with lefty reliever Andrew Chafin by agreeing to a one-year deal worth $1.945MM, tweets Murray. He'll top his $1.8MM projection by a slight margin and will be arb-eligible once more next winter before hitting free agency following the 2020 season.

Brewers Recall Two, Outright Nick Franklin
By Connor Byrne | September 2, 2018 at 11:46am CDT
The Brewers announced that they've recalled a pair of pitchers – right-handers Zach Davies and Corey Knebel – and reinstated infielder/outfielder Nick Franklin from the 60-day disabled list. The team subsequently outrighted Franklin to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Davies, whom the Brewers recalled from Single-A Wisconsin, is back after missing upward of three months with shoulder problems. The 25-year-old hasn't taken a major league mound since May 29, which was both his eighth appearance and eighth start of the season. Davies opened the year in rough fashion when he was healthy, as he notched a 5.23 ERA/5.29 FIP across 43 innings. Going back to his major league debut in 2015, all 75 of Davies' appearances have been starts, but it's unclear whether he'll finish the year in Milwaukee's rotation. The club just did acquire the more established Gio Gonzalez, after all, and it has four other set starters in Jhoulys Chacin, Chase Anderson, Junior Guerra and Wade Miley.
Knebel's absence from the Brewers was much shorter than Davies', as the team optioned the former to Colorado Springs on Aug. 23. On the surface, it was a surprising demotion for Knebel – who was a lights-out closer in 2017 – but the 26-year-old has taken multiple steps backward this season. While Knebel's still bringing high-90s heat, he has only managed a 5.08 ERA/4.28 FIP through 39 major league innings in 2018. Knebel has seen his strikeout and swinging-strike rates drop since 2017, while his home run-to-fly ball percentage has skyrocketed.
Franklin, an offseason minor league signing, only totaled two PAs with the Brewers this season. The 27-year-old suffered a quad injury May 8, the same day the Brewers selected his contract from Colorado Springs, and he hasn't played since. Franklin was formerly a well-regarded prospect with the Mariners, who chose him 27th in the 2009 draft, but he hasn't experienced much success since debuting in the majors in 2013. Because Franklin has already been outrighted in the past, he'll be able to choose whether to reject the Brewers' assignment in favor of free agency.
Corey Knebel Milwaukee Brewers Nick Franklin Transactions Zach Davies
Brewers Option Corey Knebel, Zach Davies
The Brewers have optioned righties Corey Knebel and Zach Davies, per the MLB.com transactions page. (H/t MLB.com's Adam McCalvy & Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel; Twitter links.) Davies had been on a rehab assignment following an extended absence.
This move is notable enough for what it says about two of the team's most important pitchers heading into the season. But it's also an intriguing development with the revocable waiver trade deadline drawing near.
[RELATED: Brewers Depth Chart]
Knebel was expected to anchor the Milwaukee pen, but carries a 5.08 ERA through 39 innings on the season. He has generated 12.7 K/9 against 4.4 BB/9 along with a 50.0% groundball rate, but has also been touched for home runs on 28.0% of the flyballs put in play against him. Knebel is sitting just under 97 mph with his average fastball, but has lost some of swinging-strike gains from 2017, with his 13.9% rate falling to 11.6% this year. His struggles have deepened of late, as he has coughed up eight earned runs in his past 6 1/3 innings.
As for Davies, who turned in solid campaigns from the rotation in each of the past two years, the 2018 season has been a rough one thus far. He only managed a 5.23 ERA through eight starts before hitting the shelf with shoulder troubles. Davies has actually taken more starts in the minors this year than in the majors, owing to a halting rehab course.
While Knebel will head to Triple-A to work out the kinks, Davies was formally assigned to the organization's nearby Class A affiliate. The reason for the latter's placement isn't entirely clear, but it could be that the club thinks it may need to bring him back onto the MLB roster on short notice or that he'll be getting some added rest time without re-starting another rehab stint. Or, perhaps this is just a holding spot for the time being while the next steps are hammered out.
Both pitchers will need to remain on optional assignment for at least ten days unless an active roster spot opens due to a DL placement. It's at least worth noting that, to this point of the season, MLB players have only accrued 147 days of service. Knebel, a Super Two this year, will cross into the 3+ service class regardless of whether he returns to the MLB roster. Davies, though, entered the campaign with 2.020 service years on his ticker and is therefore still a few days shy of reaching arbitration eligibility in the coming offseason. He would still likely qualify as a Super Two, but that'd mean pushing back his eventual free agency by one season. Whether or not that's a factor isn't at all clear; it certainly could be that the organization plans to bring Davies back when rosters expand, if not sooner.
For the time being, there's no known replacement for Knebel on the active roster. Milwaukee is off today. As Rosiak notes, he could be replaced by Joakim Soria, if he's activated from the DL tomorrow. But the open roster spot could also be filled from the outside. Several starting pitchers are rumored to be on waivers or to have cleared waivers. It's certainly possible — but by no means certain — that the Brewers are contemplating the acquisition of an outside arm.

Injury Notes: Snell, Dickerson, Fowler, Williams, Skaggs
By Kyle Downing | August 4, 2018 at 4:49pm CDT
As expected, the Rays have activated left-hander Blake Snell to start tonight's game against the White Sox. The first-time All-Star will be on a limited pitch count following a two-week DL stint for left shoulder fatigue. Following a trade of Chris Archer to the Pirates, Snell looks like the only reliable starter in a Rays rotation that continues to see relievers open games more often than the starters themselves. Snell's pre-injury performance, of course, was phenomenal; his 2.27 ERA would be more than a run lower than his career best season.
Here are a few other disabled list transactions from around the league…
Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson has been activated after a short stint on the disabled list; he'd been sidelined with a left hamstring strain. They'll surely be glad to have him back after the club traded away notable outfield depth in the form of Austin Meadows at the July 31st deadline. While he's active, Dickerson won't be starting today's game against the Cardinals (though he'll presumably be available off the bench).
As expected after last night's news, Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler will hit the DL after suffering a fractured foot. Fowler's enduring a miserable season that's by far his career worst; he's managed to hit an absolutely wretched .180/.278/.298 across 334 plate appearances while playing middling outfield defense. Fangraphs rates him as being 1.2 wins below replacement level on the season after a 2.5 fWAR debut with the Cards last year.
Switch-hitting relief pitcher Taylor Williams is headed to the DL with right elbow soreness. It's certainly bad news for a Brewers bullpen that's seeing Corey Knebel struggle mightily of late. Williams has tossed 42 2/3 relief innings and managed to strike out 10.43 batters per nine innings, though he's only managed to keep the ball on the ground 34.8% of the time and has walked a batter nearly every other inning on average. Williams is in the midst of his first full season in the majors after a 4 2/3 inning cup of coffee last year.
Angels hurler Tyler Skaggs is headed to the disabled list with a left adductor strain, the club has announced. Skaggs has described the injury as "extremely frustrating", per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. He apparently sustained it during his last start. In his stead, the Angels have called up right-hander Taylor Cole. The Angels, of course, have already seen their rotation annihilated by injuries this year, with Garrett Richards, Shohei Ohtani, J.C. Ramirez and Matt Shoemaker among the affected starters.

Brewers Activate Corey Knebel; Wade Miley Out Four To Six Weeks
By Steve Adams | May 9, 2018 at 3:30pm CDT
3:30pm: Miley has been told he'll miss four to six weeks with the oblique strain (Twitter link via Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel).
May 9, 9:44am: Milwaukee has announced the moves. Franklin is indeed going to the DL, with infielder Tyler Saladino called up to take his place on the active roster.
May 8: The Brewers announced that Wade Miley left tonight's start with a strained right oblique muscle. He's headed to the disabled list (Twitter link via MLB.com's Adam McCalvy), while closer Corey Knebel is set to be activated from the DL tomorrow. It's also possible that infielder Nick Franklin is headed for the DL after incurring an injury on the very day he returned to the big leagues. McCalvy tweets that he left tonight's game with a quadriceps strain and is "likely" to hit the DL.
Miley's injury comes less than a week after he was activated from the disabled list for a groin strain that cost him the first month of the season. The 31-year-old veteran notched a very solid quality start in his first outing, allowing one run through six innings, but he exited tonight's game after recording just one out when he injured his oblique while delivering a pitch. There's no timeline on his return, but it's common for players to spend around a month on the disabled list for Grade 1 strains and considerably longer for Grade 2 strains.
With Miley heading to the DL and likely to miss several starts, the Brewers may once again turn to southpaw Brent Suter. The 28-year-old lefty just moved to the 'pen to accommodate Miley, but he showed that he's still plenty stretched out by coming in and posting 4 2/3 innings of quality relief in Miley's place tonight. Zach Davies is also on the DL with some mild inflammation in his right shoulder, so the Brewers will need to fill two spots for the time being, although Davies' absence is expected to be extremely minimal. Prospect Brandon Woodruff is on-hand in Triple-A and could be viewed as an option for the Brewers to step into the starting mix alongside Suter.

Knebel landed on the disabled list on April 6 after collapsing on the mound while delivering a pitch. He had to be helped off the field and looked to be in excruciating pain, though the diagnosis ultimately proved to be more favorable than expected upon seeing the initial injury. The Brewers initially believed that Knebel would miss "at least" six weeks, but he'll return to the club in a bit under five weeks after suffering his injury.
If Franklin requires a DL trip, the Brewers could give Eric Sogard another look, though he consented to an optional assignment today in an effort to get his swing sorted out in the minors. Tyler Saladino would be another option who is already on the 40-man roster and has plenty of middle infield experience in the Majors. And Jonathan Villar, of course, is still with the big league club as well, though he's had a lackluster season at the plate so far in 2018.
It's been an eventful day on the injury front in Milwaukee. The Brewers learned earlier today that Mauricio Dubon, one of their top infield prospects who'd been in the mix for a call to the Majors, will miss the remainder of the year following a torn ACL. And the news is somehow even more grim for veteran catcher and beloved clubhouse leader Stephen Vogt, who suffered damage to his anterior capsule, rotator cuff and labrum in his throwing shoulder and is now faced with the possibility of career-threatening surgery.

Injury Notes: Buxton, Sano, Ervin, Knebel, Williamson
By Kyle Downing | April 28, 2018 at 11:58am CDT
Byron Buxton has a hairline fracture in his left toe, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports on Twitter. According to Hayes, the Twins hopes to have a better idea on his return timeline by the end of the homestand. As Hayes wrote previously, the team has missed Buxton while he's been sidelined; seven of the club's eight wins have come with the speedster patrolling center field. It's worth noting, though, that while Buxton has played typically great defense in the outfield grass, he's scuffled to a .195/.233/.244 batting line at the plate.
More injury notes from around the league…
Speaking of the Twins, Miguel Sano will sit out today's game due to hamstring tightness (h/t Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com). Sano, who owns a .450 slugging percentage on the season with five homers and a 40% K rate, barely ran out a ground ball in his last at-bat during yesterday's game. It's unclear how long he'll need to rest. Meanwhile, there's a positive sign for the Twins: Ervin Santana is making progress and has already practiced throwing his change-up, according to Hayes. He's reportedly close to throwing off a mound. The club will be anxiously awaiting his return, as their starters as a group sit in the bottom half of MLB in ERA and FIP and dead last in innings pitched.
Brewers closer Corey Knebel is very excited about his progress with his hamstring strain, Tom Haudricort of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel tweets. He'll reportedly throw one more bullpen session before heading out on a rehab assignment. It seems likely that Knebel will be able to return by mid-May. Josh Hader, Matt Albers and Jacob Barnes have closed out games in his absence, collecting six saves; that group has combined for a sub-1.25 ERA on the season, so Knebel's return will make for a truly formidable late-inning crew.
It looks as though Giants outfielder Mac Williamson will avoid the concussion DL, as manager Bruce Bochy expects him to start tomorrow (h/t Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic). There was a fear that Williamson might have suffered a concussion after a collision with the outfield wall on Tuesday, but the 27-year-old appears to have dodged any serious injury. Williamson already has three homers for San Francisco in just 19 plate appearances.

Hon. CHARLES A. DUNNING (Ministei of Railways and Canals) moved the second reading of Bill No. 6, to confirm a certain agreement made between the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the Canadian National Railway Company. Motion agreed to, bill read the second time and referred to the select standing committee on railways, canals and telegraph lines.
PATENT ACT AMENDMENT
Hon. FERNAND RINFRET (Secretary of State) moved the second reading of Bill No. 7, to amend the Patent Act. Motion agreed to, bill read the second time, and the house went into committee thereon, Mr. Johnston in the chair. On section 1-manufacture for reasonable requirements.
Richard Bedford Bennett (Leader of the Official Opposition)
Mr. BENNETT:
What change does this
make in the existing law?
Topic: PATENT ACT AMENDMENT
Louis Édouard Fernand Rinfret (Secretary of State of Canada)
Mr. RINFRET:
As I explained somewhat briefly on the first reading, the purpose of this amendment is to bring the Patent Act into conformity with the terms of the international convention for the protection of industrial property, which was agreed to at The Hague conference in 1925. Canada was represented at that conference by Mr. Frederick Herbert Palmer, Canadian government trade commissioner, and we were a party to the convention, which was signed on our behalf by our representative. The intention now is to incorporate in the Patent Act the changes which were agreed upon at The Hague conference.
Hon. members will notice that the changes that are being made are underlined in the bill before them. It has always been the law that every patentee must satisfy the reasonable requirements of the public with reference to his patent. It was thought by The Hague conference that this provision might be made clearer, and that every country that was a party to the convention should agree not only that [the patented article should meet the requirements of the public, but that it should be manufactured in the country. That is the reason, Mr. Chairman, for the amendments that are proposed to subsections (b) and (c) of section 40 of the act. Subsection (b) as proposed to be amended will read:
Patent Act [DOT]
Any person interested may present a petition to the commissioner alleging that the reasonable requirements of the public with respect to a patented invention have not been satisfied-
Then follows the addition:
or that the patentee has failed to adequately manufacture the patented invention in Canada.
Robert Gardiner
United Farmers of Alberta
Mr. GARDINER:
What is the minister's
definition of "reasonable requirements" of the public? How does he arrive at his definition?
I believe that the very
reason why this change is proposed is that there was confusion as to just what was meant by that phrase. It has often been the experience of the department, and I believe of similar departments in other countries, that after an article has been patented, the patent simply lies there in oblivion without any attempt being made, at all to give the public the benefit of the invention. I would interpret the words "reasonable requirements of the public" to mean that the public could reasonably buy the patented article, and that it should be on the market in sufficient numbers to be available to any purchaser. I believe the reason for the change in the section which is now embodied in the bill amending the original act is to make the act clear, not only that the patentee is required to see that the requirements of the public are looked after, but to see that the patented article is manufactured in the country.
Mr. McGIBBON:
Does that mean that he will lose his right if he does not manufacture the article?
No. There is provision
made in reigard to that. We will come to it in another section. If the requirements of the public are not satisfied, or if the patentee fails to manufacture the article, any citizen may apply for a license to manufacture the article.
That is terrible.
That has been the law for a long while.
It robs a man of his right.
Referring to paragraph (b), it is provided that the patentee be ordered to supply the patented article at a reasonable price. I would ask the minister whether 'he has any organization in his department which can determine whether a patented article is sold at a reasonable price or not.
It is pretty hard to determine what is a reasonable price. I suppose there is competition. I suppose a reasonable price is arrived at having reference to the prices of similar articles. In the case of a patented article which would be in a class by itself I would interpret this section as being within the discretion of the department to determine, whether the price is reasonable or not, but I may say there is no intention on the part of the department to fix the price of the article. The only discretion is to determine whether the patented article is sold at a reasonable price, and if not the department would have authority to grant a license to someone else, in order to place a similar article at the disposal of the public at -a lower price. I think that is what it would mean.
George Reginald Geary
Mr. GEARY:
Section 40 subsection (c) provides for that very thing-that the commissioner may fix the price.
Hugh Guthrie
Mr. GUTHRIE:
I would 'call the attention of the minister to the glaring defect in the drafting of the section which I know as a literary man he will appreciate. The draftsman has employed the practice of splitting the infinitive. At the end of the nineteenth line I find the words: ,
Or that the patentee has failed to adequately manufacture.
If it were made to read "has failed to manufacture adequately," I think it would be more in harmony with literary taste and good English.
If my hon. friend the minister will look at paragraph (c) of section 40 he will observe on the second page of the bill the provision that the order shall not be made less than one year after the thirteenth day of June 1023. All those words are wholly unnecessary in 1928, because he is merely reenacting a section which has been repealed. To speak of 1923 at this time in 1928 would obviously have no application at all and might as well be deleted from the bill.
I would ask my hon.
friend to make that point clear to me.
The statute apparently
was passed prior to 1923, and provision is made that no order shall be issued before the expiration of three years from the date of the patent and "not less than one year after the thirteenth day of June one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three". Obviously any order that can be made in 1928 must be at least one year after the 13th day of June, 1923. Those words can have no possible application.
Patent Act
It saye "not more tlhan
one year after the passing of the act".

Newnham College Cambridge Lands Asbestos Failings Fine
Newnham College Cambridge has been fined for failings that exposed employees and subcontractors to asbestos during refurbishment of a flat owned by the college.
Cambridge Magistrates' Court heard that in March 2018, employees of Newnham College and subcontractors were carrying out a refurbishment of a flat on Grange Road, Cambridge when asbestos insulation debris was discovered in the floor voids after work had been carried out in them.
No asbestos refurbishment survey was carried out prior to insulation debris being found. One employee, who contaminated his gloves and clothing with loose asbestos debris, did not have asbestos awareness training and spread asbestos from his clothing outside the flat.
An investigation by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) found that there was inadequate planning and management of the refurbishment work.
On January 15, the College pleaded guilty to breaching Regulations 5 and 16 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and was fined £12,000 and ordered to pay costs of £4,450.28.
Untreatable
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Sandra Dias said: "Asbestos surveys need to be carried out prior to refurbishment works which disturbs the fabric of a building. Asbestos is still present in hidden locations in buildings and needs to be located before work starts that could potentially expose individuals."
"Asbestos related diseases are currently untreatable and claim the lives of an estimated 5,000 people per year in the UK."
– Sandra Dias
HSE inspector
Truro hotel
Meanwhile, property owner Michael Cutmore and building contractors B and S BM Limited have both been sentenced after a refurbishment project of an old hotel was found to contain asbestos containing materials (ACMs) on site while work was still taking place.
Truro Crown Court heard that during September 2017 a property in Island Crescent, Newquay was to be partially demolished and refurbished under the control of one of its owners (Michael Cutmore). The hotel had been left derelict for several years, allowing it to be subject to vandalism and squatting. It had been 'soft-stripped' by its owner.
Asbestos surveys identified the presence of ACMs, yet these were not managed appropriately nor removed prior to the work. Local building contractors, B and S BM Limited were appointed by the hotel's second co-owner to carry out works in half of the property while Mr Cutmore himself also stripped asbestos from within the former hotel.
Proactive inspection
During a proactive inspection, the HSE identified that the former hotel was being refurbished and partially demolished whilst ACMs remained in-situ. Some of these ACMs were licensable products (e.g. asbestos insulating board which contains amosite). Due to the extent of the spread of asbestos dust and debris throughout the building and the lack of adequate control measures, workers and visitors to the properties were at risk of exposure to asbestos fibres.
B and S BM Limited of Prow Park, Newquay pleaded guilty to breaching Sections 2(1) and 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The company was fined £22,000 and ordered to pay costs of £5,000.
Michael Cutmore pleaded guilty to breaching S3(2) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and has been ordered to carry out 120 hours unpaid work and ordered to pay costs of £7,500.
Appropriate enforcement action
Speaking after the hearing HSE inspector Georgina Speake said: "Companies should be aware that HSE will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action against those that fall below the required standards. The dangers associated with asbestos are well known and a wealth of advice and guidance is freely available from HSE and other organisations."

True Band with Raven Muir at OCF
Jan 21, 2020 | Oregon Country Fair, Podcasts
Listen in as the TRUE band and friends perform on the stage at Philly Cheesesteak booth on the path at Oregon Country Fair. These young performers are led by their instructor John, who started this ukelele band at Ridgeline Montessori School in Eugene. Hear from band member Raven Muir, age 15, about how she got started and what Rock Camp, a part of Grrlz Rock, is about. Recorded in 2017.
TRUE Band at OCF
Transcription by Jade Rainsong
(Karen:) We just stepped in off of the eight at Oregon Country Fair to Mario's Philly cheese steak booth in the back as a small stage where we have gathered some young people and their teacher, John. It's a busy booth. People are ordering food and we're going to check in and see what's happening on this small stage.
(music playing)
(Karen:) John, tell us about true, and what this is all about.
(John:) Okay. I teach middle school at resign Montessori public charter school in Eugene. And about seven years ago, we, um, our Spanish teacher had a baby and moved on and we had to replace language in our Montessori program. And so what I did was I got a grant for seven ukuleles and we started seven years ago just passing those around. Seven ukuleles evolves into 29 ukuleles and cahones and different things. And the program's evolved where we're not just playing in the gym like a typical middle school kind of thing. But we've played at Sam bonds, we played the Hult Center, and we've played, we just opened for Jason Bacaro in Portland on May 25th with the Arlene Schnitzer. Um, so it's just really evolved into something that makes music real in their lives. Cause we're playing music. The kids play music every day for at least a half an hour.
(Karen:) So it's a fairly new program at Ridgeline.?
(John:) Yeah. Six years. I mean, six full years that we've been doing it. Yeah.
(Karen:) Great, so that's got a track record. Yeah. So tell us about who's on stage here today that we're gonna hear from.
(John:) Who's on stage?
(Karen:) Where are we?
(John:) So we are at the Oregon Country Fair and every year Patricia with Grrlz Rock kind of sets up with Mario's Steakhouse and they have a stage back here and she has acts that work with Grrlz Rock through the year. Come in and do short shows. So we opened the show, uh, yesterday and today at 11 o'clock, um, yesterday we had 10 kids. Today we've got three kids. It's, you know, it's kind of who's out here and getting together. And then, but we also got two ninth graders that have come back who were out here, They're out here every year. And then, um, so that's Raven Muir and Cadence. And we've got Ronson. Son of Ron from Junction City, um, who doesn't usually play with a group, but he's been playing with us everyday in school for the last two years. It was like, hey, I'll join in.
(Karen:) Awesome. We're glad you guys are here. And, uh, would love to say hi and introduce yourself really quick on the mic and then love to hear some music. So you are.
(Raven:) Hi, I am Raven Muir.
(cadence:) I'm am Cadence Rose.
(Ronson:) I am Ronson.
(Karen:) Well, we're excited to hear a little bit about your music and maybe we'll catch up with some of you after the show.
(Karen:) I'm talking with Raven Muir, who was in the band, true. The ukulele band for a while with John. And Raven. Tell me a little bit about how you got started with True.
(Raven:) So I went to the Ridgeline Montessori Middle School, and we didn't have a Spanish program. And so my middle school teacher, John decided that if we weren't going to have Spanish, then he would incorporate music instead.
And he said it was almost kind of like another language, you know, cause you're learning all the chords and stuff. And so that's how True got started. He was teaching people ukulele and then he also had the performance group. And that was True. And so then we went and did shows at different places.
(Karen:) Where you already, um, doing music, like other kinds of instruments or was this your first time having an instrument that you played?
(Raven:) Well, I've always sang and been interested in music, but it was the first time that I really like learned how to play an instrument, like, you know, well, because I would play guitar and stuff, but it's not like I knew what I was doing. And so after learning ukulele, I now play piano and guitar and pretty much any instrument I can get my hands on… bass.
You know, after you learn one instrument, it all comes pretty well.
(Karen:) So you learned how to read music and do you ever compose your own songs too?
(Raven:) I've written two songs before, uh, like written out the chords and lyrics for them, but I'm, I'm no professional in reading music. Like I can get my way through it. I'm better at sight reading music for vocals, then sight reading music, like sheet music. But I can read tablature and chord charts easily.
(Karen:) How old are you Raven?
(Raven:) I am 15 years old.
(Karen:) Cool. So would you say that, um, playing the ukulele kinda got you started in, in music and also second part of that question is, now that you know how to play all of these things, I happen to know that you've been in some rock camps. And things like that, doing some other music stuff. So tell me about some other music things that you've done.
(Raven:) Okay. Um, so yes, I have been in rock camp and yes, ukulele did get me started doing music. Um, but rock camp got me started doing like bands. And so rock camp, you have your first band and you practice for a week and it's all thrown together in this camp, like where you have five different bands, one's a little kid band, and then all the rest are full of like 13 to I guess like 18 year olds, and they're all different bands and you have one week to practice a bunch of songs and then at the end of the week you perform those songs and usually have about like, three to seven, I guess. Seven is the most I've had. And after I did rock camp, I had more experience being in a band. And now I've been in two bands outside of rock camp, and I am currently in one now.
(Karen:) Oh, great. So is this with some of your friends from school or other people?
(Raven:) Not friends from school, but just friends that I've known. One of them I met at rock camp, Dakota, and another one Ramona, and then some other people, the friends of Dakota and Ramona that I met.
(Karen:) So you played at Country Fair? How? How was that?
(Raven:) Yeah, with True, we played at Country Fair and it was pretty fun. I did it the year before that as well. We never sound as good because it's kind of just on the fly and not as many people show up. But it's always a fun experience to be there with them. Cause I love Country Fair as well.
(Karen:) It's a fun place to be. So now that you've done rock camp, what are your plans coming up for like this fall and winter or next spring? Have you thought that far ahead or do you have any gigs or any new bands you're working on?
(Raven:) Um, with the band I'm in now, we're going to continue year round. I think that a couple of people might stop doing it when we go further into the school year. But, um, we do have some gigs coming up and we plan to get more over the course of the school year and into next summer. I hope this band stays together cause it's a really fun group and I really enjoy playing with them.
(Karen:) What's the name of the band?
(Raven:) Shedding sunshine.
(Karen:) Ooh, I like that. That sounds like fun. How many people are in it?
(Raven:) Um, I think we have four people right now. No, we have five people. Actually, I forgot we added someone. Three guitar players. And ukulele players, we switch off and so that's it. We don't have any base or anything. It's all acoustic. Just guitars, and ukuleles.
(Karen:) Awesome. Well, I wish you the best on that. I've heard you play. You're pretty good. I'm looking forward to hearing more coming up in the future.
(Raven:) Thank you.
(Karen:) Yeah. Thanks for sharing with us.

Q: How to draw a right angle triangle using tkinter? I'm trying to draw a right angle triangle with tkinter. I can't figure out how to do it, I can do a rectangle and then another one but I cant get the second rectangle to be a triangle.
Here's an example of what I want to do, how far I have gotten, and my code:
What I want to do:

How far I've gotten:
My code:
from tkinter import *

root= Tk()
can = Canvas(root, width=200, height=200)
can.pack()
shape1={'bounds': [20, 20, 80, 50], 'kind': 'rect', 'fill': True}
shape2={'bounds': [80, 50, 20, 35], 'kind': 'tri', 'fill': True}
can.create_rectangle(list(shape1.values())[0],fill='black')
can.create_rectangle(list(shape2.values())[0],fill='white')
root.mainloop()

A: You can use polygon-function to draw a triangle. Just specify a list of corner-points of your triangle as argument.
points = [x1,y1, x2,y2, x3,y3]
can.create_polygon(points, fill='white')

Check out the tkinter-documentation for more info.

A: You should use create_polygon() to draw triangle:
shape2={'bounds': [20, 50, 80, 35, 80, 50], 'kind': 'tri', 'fill': True}
can.create_polygon(list(shape2.values())[0],fill='white',outline='white')
