Hello

Prior to tonight's game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:

Placed LHP Carlos Rodn on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to 6/30) with left elbow inflammation.

Sucks he was sent down to AAA but .167 is not going to cut it in the show. Hope he can work on hitting higher level pitching and make it back soon.

Bound for Triple-A
July 5, 2026
The Diamondbacks optioned Groover to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
Analysis
After making starts in just one of the Diamondbacks' last seven games, Groover will head back to Triple-A to receive steadier playing time. Arizona recalled utility man Tim Tawa from Triple-A to join the active roster as a replacement for Groover, who slashed .167/.259/.271 with one home run, four RBI and four runs in 15 games during his month-long stay with the big club.

Was curious and Grok analysis is No, Trea will not make HOF.
Trea has a great career and for most part has stayed healthy but not at the same historic elite level of Cal Ripken, Derek Jeter or Ozzie Smith and it also pointed out Nomar & Jimmy Rollins are both good comps and neither made the HOF.
