Rotation injury crisis and bullpen tryouts

With Avila (forearm) and Kolek (TJS) out, Daniel Lynch has been forced into the rotation and will start on Aug 19. Tony Gonsolin signed but on IL. The bullpen remains a tryout with Kimbrel, Pearson, Cruz, Way, and now Lucas Erceg—Erceg was officially demoted to Triple-A on Aug 19, confirming a reset with three options left. Steven Cruz secured a save on Aug 18, a positive sign.
