Each day is considered a scoring period. It said the Clase move would be effective on the April 18 scoring period, but O’Neill wouldn’t go to the IL until the April 19 period, so I couldn’t make the move.

The Mariners didn’t even have a game yesterday, by the way, so that makes it even stranger. The Diamondbacks and Giants were the only two teams still scheduled to play when I tried to make the move, so it would’ve made some sense if I couldn’t pick up a D-Back or Giant. I also was able to make the move as soon as the Giants game started.

Sorry for the confusion. I saw O'Neill was on the IL after Boston's game had started yesterday, so I knew I couldn't replace him for yesterday's games. But once I noticed it, I wanted to make the move that would be effective today. When I tried to execute it on Fantrax, I got a message telling me I couldn't make the move across two different scoring periods.

Normally when I try to make an injury replacement for a player whose game has already started, Fantrax just automatically makes the move official the next day. In this case, Fantrax was trying to add Clase immediately while still delaying the O'Neill IL move until today, which is obviously an illegal move.

Maybe I'm not understanding.  Boston is playing Pittsburgh.   Mariners are playing the Rockies.  I thought he was being denied a move in the unstarted Mariners game because the Boston game has started.  Last year when Boston played that annual morning game Fantrax wouldn't allow any moves in games that night.

Craig, Wesneski has been optioned.  He's eligible to be the 27th man for tomorrow, but, barring an injury, he won't be available for Sunday.

With Monday off, will be interesting to see how Counsell manages his pitchers.  Per mlb, Taillon is scheduled for today, and Hendricks for Sunday.  Nobody is listed for tomorrow's games yet.  I assume Wesneski might be available for Sunday.  Shoto, Assad, Brown pitched the Sat-Sun-Monday games, so they should all be available for tomorrow and Sunday, and Shoto would be 6-days tonight, Assad on 5-days.  So either could be piggy-back available today, I'd think. 

So, curious whether somebody is scheduled to piggy-back today?  Or if he's going to see how things roll, and improvise based on how the early innings unroll?  I'd imagine all else equal, the ideal would be to just save both Brown and Wesneski for Sunday behind Hendricks, and get through all three games today and tomorrow without any piggy-backing.  But ideal rarely works. 

I'd be pretty OK if Assad was the flex guy, because he's clutch and has pitched relief.
