Wheeler has a blood clot in his right arm. Dombrowski said there isn’t much they can say about it right now but doctors were commended for finding the clot. Dombrowski said it could have been a much more worse situation.

#3 Houston Astros All Star closer Josh Hader will not throw for the next in three weeks due to a left capsule shoulder strain last Friday. Hader hopes he can pitch again in the 2025 season.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Amaury, How bad of an idea is it that MLB has scheduled the World Series to start on Oct 25 with the possibility of the New York Mets hosting in cold weather that could drop in the 40s at night. Further the World Series could run as long as Nov 5th. Some critics are calling this a really bad idea playing in possible freezing conditions that could bring rain or snow.

#2 A Hawaiian real estate investor and broker are suing Los Angles Dodgers two way star Shohei Ohtani and his agent Nez Balelo for getting developer Kevin J Hayes Sr and real estate broker Tomoko Matsumoto fired from a $240 million luxury housing development on Hawaii’s Big Island that they wanted Ohtani to endorse. The lawsuit reads, “Balelo and [Ohtani], who were brought into the venture solely for [Ohtani’s] promotional and branding value, exploited their celebrity leverage to destabilize and ultimately dismantle Plaintiffs’ role in the project — for no reason other than their own financial self-interest,”

#3 The Baltimore Orioles have lost two pitchers for the rest of the season. Right hander Zach Eflin will be getting a lower back procedure and closer Felix Bautista is suffering from a significant shoulder injury. Bautista is scheduled to see the doctor to get an update this week.

#4 San Francisco Giants lose another one this time to the San Diego Padres 4-1 the loss drops San Francisco to 4.5 games for the last and coveted NL Wild Card spot. The Giants have one more game with San Diego Wednesday and three coming up with Tampa Bay starting Friday.

#5 Houston Astro closer Josh Hader was placed on the 15 day IL due to a left shoulder strain. Hader could not pitch on Monday night and was experiencing shoulder discomfort prior to the game against the Boston Red Sox. Hader had a workout before Monday’s game and said he did not feel right.
