Yeah we're kinda safe in that regard in that we'll have 6 outfielders eligible for postseason.

Marisnick
Springer
Tucker
Rasmus
Gomez
Gattis

And we don't have to worry about sending anybody down until then due to September roster expansion.

The main issue is that we've got to get McCullers up before August 31st at midnight so he can be eligible. Which means one outfielder likely goes down to make room for LMJ, but then can come right back up due to roster expansion.

I think VV stays down and the colder bat between Marisnick and Tucker goes down before the postseason.

Or we carry 6 outfielders and cut Carter.

Hinch was interviewed on MLB Network today and said LMJ will be up in the next couple of series. So we are definitely seeing him soon & on a postseason roster

Edit: and you have to remember that many teams shorten their rotations to 4 starters during the postseason. Will be interesting to see how that goes.

Edit 2: If the rotation is shortened, they'll probably move the 5th starter to the BP along with Fiers. I am thinking one of the relievers doesn't make the postseason roster if that happens and Marisnick & Tucker are kept active. Who knows? Ton of combinations can be made.
