This gives my current sense, as of the date above, with prior versions archived below, of my understanding of the current roster: who fits where, what the lineups are, etc. etc. (In the offseason, this is more guesswork than empirical.)
Edward Mujica in, Chris Bassitt out, and Jarrod Parker returns to the 60-day DL.
