MACIEJEWSKI WAS DESIGNATED FOR ASSIGNMENT. THE ROSTER DOES NOT INCLUDE JASSON DOMINGUEZ WHO WILL PHLEGM TRIPLE-A FOR NOW. AARON BOONE DISCUSSED THAT DECISION, BUT IN OUR TOYOTA QUOTE OF THE DAY HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE ANTHONY RIZZO BACK IN THE LINEUP. >> Aaron: GOOD. EXCITED, OBVIOUSLY, TO GET HIM BACK. AS I'VE SAID, FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW, JUST FEEL LIKE HE'S IN A REALLY GOOD MENTAL PLACE, AND PHYSICALLY I THINK'S BEEN FEELING REALLY GOOD REALLY FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW. SO HOPEFULLY HE CAN COME IN AND PROVIDE SOMETHING FOR OUR LINEUP. BUT DEFINITELY EXCITED TO GET HIM BACK. >> Meredith: IF HE'S RIGHT AND THE OLD ANTHONY RIZZO, WHAT COULD THAT LEFT-HANDED BAT MEAN TO THE LINEUP? >> Aaron: LENGTH. LENGTH. WE'VE OBVIOUSLY SEEN SOME OTHER GUYS REALLY START TO CONTRIBUTE AND STEP THUMP YEAR AND DIFFERENT GUYS COME INTO THEIR OWN, BRINGING JAZZ AT THE DEADLINE. BUT YOU KNOW, ANTHONY CAN GET IT GOING, IT'S JUST GOING TO, YOU KNOW, ADD JUST THAT MUCH MORE LENGTH TO OUR LINEUP. >> Meredith: IT HAD BEEN A GRIND FOR HIM PRIOR TO GETTING INJURED OFFENSIVELY. >> Aaron: YEAH. >> Meredith: WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR HIM? >> Aaron: WE'LL SEE. I STILL THINK IT'S IN THERE FOR HIM TO BE PRODUCTIVE. I FEEL LIKE HE'S WALKING IN HERE WITH SOME CONFIDENCE. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, AN AMAZING TRACK RECORD, AND A, YOU KNOW, PROVEN MONEY KIND OF PLAYER, ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR. SO, YOUTUBE, WE'LL SEE. WE'LL SEE. I FEEL LIKE PHYSICALLY HE IS IN A GOOD SPOT, SO HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY THAT EQUALS PRODUCTION. >> Meredith: AMONG THE CALLUPS, WHAT WENT INTO THAT DECISION MAKING PROCESS? >> Aaron: I MEAN JUST A GREAT RUNNER AND A GUY THAT WITH THE EXTRA SPOT, YOU KNOW, PICK YOUR SPOTS WHEN YOU, YOU KNOW, BIG PINCH-RUNNING SITUATION, CAN REALLY DEFEND IN THE OUTFIELD. SO JUST A LITTLE ADDED FLEXIBILITY TO THE ROSTER. >> BRENDAN. >> FANS ARE GOING TO WONDER, TOP PROSPECT JASSON DOMINGUEZ, WHY NOT CALLING HIM UP TODAY? >> Aaron: YEAH. JUST CERTAINLY IN THE CONVERSATION. WILL REMAIN IN THE CONVERSATION MOVING FORWARD. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WHEN HE COMES UP HERE, YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO PLAY HIM EVERY DAY. SO HE'LL CONTINUE TO REMAIN IN THAT CONVERSATION. I FEEL LIKE HE'S, OVER THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS, STARTING TO PLAY WELL, YOU KNOW FROM COMING BACK FROM THE OBLIQUE INJURY. SO, YOU KNOW, TOUGH CALL RIGHT NOW, BUT DOESN'T MEAN THAT DOESN'T CHANGE IN A COUPLE DAYS, IN A WEEK IN TWO WEEKS, WHATEVER IT IS. BUT IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO CONTINUE TO PLAY RIGHT NOW. >> YOU ARE YOU GUYS GETTING REPORTS THAT HE'S IN FULL 100% READY TO PLAY EVERY DISMAI. >> Aaron: YES. >> PERFORMING TO WHERE YOU GUYS NEED HIM TO BE? >> Aaron: YEAH. YEAH. >> ANYONE ELSE? PETER. >> JUST AS FAR AS THE BULLPEN MOVES, JUST WHAT MADE EFFROSS COME UP, WHAT MADE THESE THE RIGHT MOVES RIGHT SNOW. >> Aaron: YEAH, SCOTT'S BOON THROWING THE BALL WELL NOW FOR THE BETTER PART OF A MOVEMENT RON'S HAD A SOLID YEAR WHETHER IT'S BEEN HERE OR DOWN THE THERE. WITH CLARKE AND LUIS ON THE VERGE OF COMING BACK IT GIVES US EVEN ANOTHER SPOT IN THE PEN. SO YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT SOME REAL DEPTH AND FLICT DOWN THERE. >> DAN. OH. ANYONE ELSE? PETER. >> AARON, WOULD YOU ANTICIPATE GIL AND SCHMIDT BEING IN THE ROTATION IN CHICAGO WHEN YOU GET THERE? >> Aaron: VERY GOOD CHANCE OF THAT, YEAH. LUIS GOES TODAY.
