You said this in another thread. I think we see a little from Jump when we play Sunday. Would not be 100 pitches again, but he could give us a few good innings. Many guys are workhorses a full 2 years after Tommy-John surgery.

I can't think of one example of where a pitcher wasn't babied after TJ surgery, myself. It's a process to get worked back into shape, and bear in mind that this week was the first time he ever pitched on 4 days rest. Doing that back to back won't happen in an extended capacity, when there is nothing to be gained from it. I want to win this tournament, and I'm not of the opinion that it "doesn't matter", as so many have said. But it certainly doesn't matter enough to risk injury.

Notice how I said "extended" capacity. You said "a few good innings", and I could see maybe an inning to close it out on Sunday, if they had the lead in a close game. I could see it, but I absolutely do not expect it.
