Joe Maddon probably spent a lot more time than he’d have liked talking about Addison Russell‘s lack of focus and the coaching staff’s fruitless work with the infielder since he was called up in 2015. But there are actually other players on the roster, including one or two you may have forgotten about given their sparse usage, and Maddon offered updates on some of them prior to Tuesday’s game.
One of those was Tyler Chatwood, who has become the pitching staff’s Daniel Descalso (five plate appearances in July) with only two appearances since June 27.
