Scioscia says U.S. Olympic baseball roster fluid, changes with call-ups Today 05:55 am JST Today | 06:18 am JST NEW YORK
Mike Scioscia was planning on having Alek Manoah for the U.S. rotation for Olympic qualifying this week. Instead, the Toronto Blue Jays called up 23-year-old right-hander, who pitched six scoreless innings against the New York Yankees this week in his major league debut.
“It’s been fluid. From the roster we have anticipated early, you’re probably talking about a 60, 70% turnover,” the U.S. manager said, before the Americans start their second chance to qualify for the Olympics.
Generally, the better the prospect the less chance he will be available.
