Duda visited with Dr. Robert Watkins — who worked with David Wright during his rehab — in California on Monday. He will take anti-inflammatory medication and did not receive an injection. Alderson expects Duda to return when his 15-day window expires Sept. 6. Duda was placed on the disabled list Saturday, and Daniel Murphy and Michael Cuddyer have started at first base in his absence. ROTATION PLANS: Manager Terry Collins said there are three dates the Mets are considering in regards to skipping a start for Noah Syndergaard but have not made a decision yet. The team is factoring whether to skip a road game, where Syndergaard has struggled (0-5, 5.05 ERA). The right-hander is 7-1 with a 1.82 ERA at Citi Field. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO Syndergaard starts at Citizens Bank Park for the first time tonight. Mets first baseman Lucas Duda will be a spectator while undergoing treatment Injured starter Steven Matz (lat) makes his third rehab start for a small thoracic disk herniation. Wednesday. The Mets will wait to see how he fares before deciding the lefty’s next move. Matz is slated to throw approximately 60 pitches Wednesday and would be in line to throw around 80 pitches his next time out.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dominican Baseball An Exploration of the Modern Major League Baseball Academy System A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Art Latin American Studies by Andrew Mitchel 2020 © Copyright by Andrew Mitchel 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Dominican Baseball An Exploration of the Modern Major League Baseball Academy System by Andrew Mitchel Master in Latin American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professors Bonnie Taub, Co-Chair Professor Lauren Derby, Co-Chair This project is about Major League Baseball’s (MLB) developmental academies in the Dominican Republic (henceforth D.R.). Athletes from across Latin America, once signed, begin at this first level of Minor League Baseball to prove their sporting abilities, learn English and become consummate professionals. This thesis concerns both the history of the United States (U.S.)-D.R. relationship through the lens of baseball, and ethnographic fieldwork completed at one MLB academy in the D.R. in summer 2019. The research included watching Dominican Summer League games, touring the facility, interviewing staff and sitting in on a high school equivalency course. It analyzes various so-called ‘signs of universality’ as to how baseball is played worldwide: language/ritual, camaraderie, food, education and masculinity. The historical context surrounding the relationship between the nations shows how the baseball academy is one just type of neoliberal and neocolonial enclave in the Dominican Republic. Concluding thoughts cover where this system stands as of 2020 and what can be done to ensure ideal conditions for these teenage players. Keywords: anthropology of sport; U.S.-D.R.
