We’ve got the second pick,’ ” Childress recalled. “So we end up with Donovan, which is who we wanted. The big thing was I said, ‘He’ll come in and be the No. 3 guy?’ And Andy’s statement to me was, ‘When you take a guy this high, he’s got to be No. 2.’
“Just trying to manage right now because Pito (Abreu) is going to be out a few days, but we’re taking really, really, really good at-bats and we’re not missing the pitches that we need to hit,” Keuchel said. “That’s the bottom line.

It wasn’t a hard decision to take the vaccine, Báez said, because he has two young sons, Adrián, who turns three next month, and six-month-old Aiden. Báez inherently spends time around a lot of people because of what his job entails. Deciding to be vaccinated was a collective decision with his wife, Irmarie, who shared in an Instagram story this past week that she got her second shot.
The possibility of going out together after a game or simply hanging with a teammate playing video games in a hotel room were supposed to be the inducements appealing to any young player in his 20′s or 30′s.
