Not a shocker - it seemed like he became plan B when Nava was a bit banged up, and likely came here because of a chance to make the roster, which is pretty much gone now with Dickerson. I suspect that the final spot may end up coming down to Brentz and Nava. Luplow should be getting at-bats in AAA still. Maybe Osuna works into the mix too, but Brentz seems to stand out in terms of power, so I'd give the edge to him before really seeing any relatively meaningless results.
Nava seems like a fine depth/bench player to have, but none of the tools make him particularly interesting, and with already having Frazier as a good hitting LH bat on the bench, it makes sense to have a righty for spelling Polanco and Dickerson.
Nothing too much of note today, other than Meadows with 2 doubles, a single, and a walk. Good to see Eppler put up a couple of clean innings vs. MLB hitters: just a hit and 3 Ks in two innings. He's someone who could end up with a slightly higher chance to be an injury fill-in if you have Glasnow and Brault in the bullpen. Presumably you could just stretch those guys out if one is a long relief guy in MLB, but it will also be nice to have Eppler and Kingham as viable options in AAA.
