It seems we now have the explanation as to why Brian Snitker went with Johan Camargo as his DH in today’s rubber game against the Twins. Austin Riley has been placed on the 10-day injured list due a knee injury he suffered in the weight room yesterday. Obviously, this is less than ideal with both Dansby Swanson and Nick Markakis currently on the shelf as well.
