Cole Ragans was called up from the IL today, and we assigned him to Omaha to finish his season on rehab and develop him into a top rotation starter for next year. Kyle Wright will remain on the IL through the rest of the year and won’t be able to start in our development lab until next spring. We’ll need to leave some room for him to at least rebuild his strength and stamina alongside Ragans, so both can participate in spring training and develop into competitive arms. That reminds me that I’ll need to start looking for a new team trainer to prevent losing more of our pitching staff to injuries next season.

Our LOOGY pitcher from last season, Alex Claudio, sent me a personal message last night to request an extension offer, and I think I’m going to accept it. He has been a reliable reliever against lefties all year, and although he doesn’t have much stamina, he can get us out of innings where we need a high-leverage guy. I’d like to see him develop better stuff, but his control is excellent. As long as he can keep the movement in his pitches, we'll keep him another year. He is asking for 1.64 million, but I think we can sign him for close to a million. I’ve sent an offer for 1.25 million, so we’ll see what he responds with. I think he initially likes the offer.

Kansas City Royals pitcher Brady Singer delivered a strong performance at Nationals Park, leading to a 6-0 shutout victory over the Washington Nationals by holding them to just 4 hits. The 28-year-old issued 1 walk and struck out 8 batters in the Royals' win. So far this season, Singer has compiled a 7-6 record with a 4.05 ERA in 23 starts.

"It was just one of those games where everything went right. I threw a lot of strikes," Singer said. "And the pitches they did get to hit, they didn't do anything with them."
