there's no urgency....at the moment

Eventually, if everyone gets healthy, there's going to be an infielder glut. I'm just guessing that Austin's limitations to a particular role might make him more expendable than others.

in unloading Tyler Austin. He hasn't played 100 games, has he? I'd DH him against lefties and let Stanton play LF when Bird comes back.

If I have a choice of Drury, and possibly Sanchez, Judge, Stanton or Hicks to DH against lefties depnding on the D alignment, Austin's name is not getting near the lineup card.

This is true. But again, can they trust Bird to stay healthy for extended periods of time? The big tease. Keeping two 1B only players is not efficient especially with Walker and Drury there who can play most IF positions. Austin likely has options left and will be stashed.

Does he still have options?

Seems like he's been up and down several times. I actually don't know, just assumed that he might be out of them now.
