As soon as the Indianapolis Indians announced their starting lineup for Sunday’s game, social media blew up with potential conspiracy theories about a specific player missing from the lineup.
Based on the projected ‘super two’ deadline, combined with the schedule, it was a pretty safe bet to assume someone was going to get called up for the Chicago Cubs home series.
Turns out that bet would have paid off, as 2021 first overall pick Henry Davis will be joining the Pirates on Monday.
Davis will look to help spark a team that is struggling through another prolonged slump, losing six games straight — all against divisional opponents.
