LOS ANGELES (AP) —’s owner and general manager on Saturday http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-b.j.-upton-jersey , a day ahead of reliever Roberto Osuna’s activation following a 75-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy.Hinch discussed the matter with owner Jim Crane and GM Jeff Luhnow, but declined to go into details. The manager said Osuna will join the club on Sunday and be activated for the series finale at Dodger Stadium.Osuna is expected to address the team and then talk to the media with Luhnow.Osuna was arrested in Toronto in May and charged with assaulting his girlfriend. No details have been made public and the matter is pending in court.MLB handed him the second-longest suspension since its domestic violence policy was enacted three years ago and Osuna did not appeal.The Astros acquired the right-hander from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline this week. The move raised eyebrows in the clubhouse and around baseball since Houston had previously stated its no-tolerance policy regarding domestic violence.The team released minor leaguer Danry Vasquez last spring after surveillance video surfaced showing him assaulting a woman.Astros starters Justin Verlander and Lance McCullers Jr. were outspoken about their disgust on Twitter at that time.“My views on the topic have been out there. I’ve spoken on them and those kind of hold firm,” McCullers said after leaving the team’s 14-0 win Saturday night with right elbow soreness. “It’s obviously a baseball operational decision.”Osuna was not at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. He pitched one scoreless inning for Double-A Corpus Christi on Friday, allowing one hit with one strikeout.Osuna could potentially make his Astros debut in a closing role on Sunday.“A lot has to happen tomorrow,” Hinch said, “and as a team, family and group we’ll navigate it together.”Dodgers fans already have been booing various Astros players since the series began Friday night. It’s a rematch of last year’s World Series, won by Houston in Game 7 at Dodger Stadium.“It’s got to be difficult. He’s not an old-timer. He’s still a young kid,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said in Seattle. “It’s a lot of pressure and a lot of focus on him. It can’t be easy. He probably can’t wait to get on the mound and get away from all that.”Hinch’s first order of business will be to talk with Osuna.“I certainly want to get to know him and his background. I’ve never met him http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-b.j.-upton-jersey , never shook his hand,” Hinch said. “I know a little bit of his track record. We’ll get into anything that he wants to. I’m his manager now so I think it’s important to get to know him and learn what makes him be the player that he can be.”The 23-year-old right-hander is the youngest pitcher to ever record 100 saves and he can throw 95 mph.The Astros are known for being a close-knit team that banded together to help Houston after last year’s devastating floods triggered by Hurricane Harvey.“That’s not going to change,” Hinch said.The effect Osuna’s presence has on the team will be closely scrutinized.“We are going to handle it as a group as best we can,” Hinch said. “We simply don’t know and we aren’t going to draw any conclusions at this point. We’re going to welcome him on our team and begin the process of getting to know him.” LOS ANGELES — A rookie in name only at this point, the Los Angeles Dodgers are merely looking at Walker Buehler now as simply a big-game pitcher.It means the Dodgers have the right guy on the mound as they go for a three-game series sweep Wednesday over the Colorado Rockies. When the first pitch in the series was thrown on Monday the Rockies led the division. The Dodgers are the club with a 1 1/2-game lead now thanks to Chris Taylor’s walk-off home run Tuesday.Article continues below ...Buehler has given the Dodgers a legitimate 1-2 punch alongside staff ace Clayton Kershaw with a second half that has had a presence about it.The Rockies will counter with a shaky Tyler Anderson as the left-hander continues to search for his first victory since July 4. He is 0-6 over his last 12 starts with a 6.38 ERA.Buehler (7-5, 2.88 ERA) gave up four runs in a Sept. 8 start at Colorado, but that is where runs come easier than most parks. It is the only time over his last nine starts he has given up more than two earned runs. He has a 1.75 ERA going back to a July 31 outing when he gave up just one run to the Milwaukee Brewers.The Kershaw-Buehler duo is starting to bear a strong resemblance to the Kershaw-Zack Greinke duo that led the charge for Dodgers teams of the recent past.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was asked if the season from his 24-year-old right-hander has exceeded his expectations.“He has exceeded them in my eyes, but probably not in how own which is a good thing,” Roberts said. “I expect him to help us win a championship so that is what he has done. If you look at the stat line http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-b.j.-upton-jersey , it’s pretty impressive. You hope for that (and) we’re all impressed.”Anderson (6-9, 4.82) is not exactly creating the same type of buzz, although he has been better of late. He gave up two runs over seven innings at San Francisco in his last outing, but the Rockies lost a 2-0 decision.Since he last won a game, Anderson has given up six runs once, seven runs once and nine runs once. But he has also given up just one run in three starts since July 4, but the Rockies could not finish off a victory.One of those one-run outings came Aug. 9 at Dodger Stadium, but the Dodgers rallied against the Colorado bullpen for an 8-5 victory.“Part of the strength of Tyler is his mentality and his aptitude, body awareness and all those things Roberto Perez Jersey ,” Rockies manager Bud Black said, according to mlb.com. “Going into the game (against the Giants) he was in a pretty good spot as far as his delivery, based on what I saw the last four or five days in between his starts.He will have a chance to repeat that against the Dodgers, who he is 3-4 against in 11 career starts with a 4.10 ERA.If there is one team Buehler knows well since making his major league debut last September, it is the Rockies. He has eight appearances and four starts against Colorado, going 0-1 against the Rockies with a 4.45 ERA. Buehler made his major league debut against the Rockies on Sept. 7 last season.
