ANAHEIM http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-lorenzo-cain-jersey , Calif. (AP) — Star outfielder Mike Trout was put on the 10-day disabled list Friday because of an inflamed right wrist, a move that Los Angeles Angels had hoped to avoid.Manager Mike Scioscia sounded confident that Trout’s stay on the DL would not be extended beyond the minimum time. The Angels head out on a road trip to San Diego and Texas after the weekend.“We anticipate him being back when his DL is up,” Scioscia said. “Definitely in Texas he is going to play (Thursday), so most likely he will travel (to San Diego). The treatment he is getting is easy to administer.”The move was retroactive to Monday, when Trout received a cortisone injection in his wrist. The two-time AL MVP has missed seven consecutive games.The 27-year-old Trout is batting .309 with 30 home runs and 60 RBIs. He leads the majors with a .459 on-base percentage.Trout hasn’t played since Aug. 1, when he hurt his wrist during a feet-first slide into third base in Tampa Bay.Trout was out for 39 games last season after tearing a ligament in his left thumb in a headfirst slide.Scioscia initially didn’t think Trout would need to go on the DL. He said Friday there should be no long-term ramifications from the injury. The Atlanta Braves never reached terms with 2018 No. 8 draft overall pick Carter Stewartand were reportedly expecting to receive the No. 9 overall pick in 2019 as compensation, while Stewart would re-enter the draft pool next year.But according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic,Stewart is attempting to become a free agent, and "the Major League Baseball Players' Association filed a grievance on behalf of Stewart Jhoulys Chacin Jersey , saying the Braves did not make him the financial offer necessary for them to receive the compensation pick, according to major league sources."According to Rosenthal, "some involved with the case view him as a long shot to prevail in the dispute," with his hearing set to continue at a later date.He added, "To secure a compensation pick, a team must offer a player 40 percent of his assigned slot value. Baseball set the value of the No. 8 pick at $4,980,700, meaning the Braves' final offer to Stewart had to be a minimum of $1 Jeremy Jeffress Jersey ,992,280."The Braves reportedly planned to sign Stewart below his slotted value in order to sign pitcherZack Hess, whom they drafted in the 34th round, to a contract higher than his allotted slot. But after discovering aligament issue in his right wrist, the Braves chose against signing Stewart, lost the money allotted to his draft slot and were also unable to sign Hess.Stewart, 18, was considered one of the top arms in the 2018 draft, withManny Randhawaof MLB.com comparing the 6'6" Jesus Aguilar Jersey , 200-pounder to Rick Porcello and writing the following scouting report on the young pitcher:"He has been as lights out as any prep arm in the country, coming out of the gate throwing up to 98 mph. The right-hander touches 96-97 mph in just about every start and easily sits at 92-94 mph. He has one of the best breaking balls in the class, a power curve that is now a mid-80s hammer. While Stewart's changeup is behind right now鈥攁nd he occasionally slows his arm down鈥攈e has feel for it and it should be a solid pitch in the future."If Stewart isn't awarded free agency, the Braves will keep their No. 9 compensatory pick. But if Stewart is awarded free agency, he'll be free to sign with any team, likely creating a market for himself that would exceed the slotted contract he would receive in next year's draft.It's unclear if Stewart will return to Mississippi State or attend a junior college if he isn't awarded free agency.
