On day bullpen bolstered by return of Pierce Johnson, Bob Melvin says Drew Pomeranz likely doesn't have enough time to get back
Pierce Johnson is back. Drew Pomeranz almost certainly will not pitch in 2022. Craig Stammen is close.“I haven’t given up a run in a couple months,” Johnson said.
“I’ve got the freshest arm down in that ‘pen,” Johnson said. “So hopefully I can help those guys out as much as I can. It’s go time.”There was hope an MRI on Pomeranz’s left elbow last week would prompt resumption of his rehab assignment. But despite the imaging confirming there was no new structural damage, Pomeranz is still feeling discomfort near his elbow.
“The odds are getting longer and longer,” Melvin said. “He went through a period there where he was pitching in some games and felt like he was really close. Shut it down for a little bit. If it’s only a few days, it’s one thing. But if you start getting into weeks, 10 days or so forth, then you have to ramp him back up, and we’re at a point the season where that may be a little tough for him right now. But not 100 percent ruling out.
His brief time in San Diego, following a March trade with the Dodgers, was interrupted by injuries and illness and ended as it did mostly due to poor performance. Nick Martinez was unavailable Friday night after pitching three times in the previous four days. But even if he had been, Melvin said Josh Hader would have been the one pitching in the ninth inning.“It’s not going to happen overnight,” Hader said of the mechanical and mental adjustments he has made over the past couple weeks. “It’s just a gradual thing that’s gonna happen. You’re gonna eventually hopefully see the results. I think right now that we’re in a good spot. The results are showing.

U.S. Justice Department, Trump team due Friday to file list of special master candidatesThe U.S. Justice Department and former President Donald Trump's attorneys are due on Friday to jointly file a list of possible candidates to serve as a special master to review records the FBI seized from the former president's Florida estate. It was ordered by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee in Fort Pierce, Florida, after she granted Trump's request on Monday for a special master over the Justice Department's objections. The department in a Thursday court filing asked Cannon to suspend two main parts of her order, saying it wants to be able to continue reviewing the seized classified materials for its continuing investigation, and it wants to protect them from disclosure to a special master.
