Not much by way of big news this afternoon. Ricky Renteria did weigh in on some possible lefty additions in the last week of the season:
Ricky on missing lefties Bummer and Rodón: "I would just say we are feeling very cautiously optimistic about Bummer and Rodón."

Ricky says Bummer went through a sim game, the 2nd since he’s been back with the team. Rodón threw 2 innings in Schaumburg yesterday and it went well.
Meanwhile, Chris Getz offered his thoughts on Garrett Crochet cementing a spot in the playoff bullpen:
Getz on Crochet's playoff future: "He needs to continue to pound the zone, use all three pitches, and if he does that, it doesn’t take a lot to figure out he will help us in a playoff run. You got a 3-game set right out of the gate, so you don’t know what it’s going to bring you"

Tim Anderson passed all health tests and is back at leadoff.
Edwin Encarnación may not have passed any tests, but drops to sixth in the batting order:
