How to use Assignment in a sentence?

Herry Jam :

Assignment help: Your compass through the labyrinth of learning, guiding you to success one task at a time.

Herbie Ziskend :

She took that assignment, traveled the country, met with providers and Americans, and convened lawmakers, and worked to get this into the final bill.

Marcus Low :

It leaves us with one less caregiver to be on assignment, and that leaves us short-staffed. Public health experts say testing delays present a major hurdle to reducing infections and tracking those who have been in close contact with a person who is positive for the virus. Thats why researchers are working to develop rapid tests that can be cheaply produced, self-administered and provide immediate, reliable results. For now, most tests to diagnose COVID-19 require laboratory processing, which means a built-in delay. Guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that states, as they lift final virus restrictions, have a turnaround time of less than two days. But its unclear whether states have access to detailed data showing whether they are meeting the CDC standard, including how long it takes to process tests at independent labs. Labs track their own turnaround times, but the CDC said data such as how long it takes for a test to get to a lab and for a provider to receive the result and notify the patient are not tracked. That makes it difficult to determine a meaningful average of what patients are experiencing in each state. In the absence of publicly available federal data, the AP earlier this month surveyed nine states that were experiencing a 14-day uptick in new positive cases, plus New York, which has had the most COVID-19 cases. The state lab in New York was taking up to three days to report results to patients. California officials said the statewide turnaround time was 48 to 72 hours, depending on the lab. In Utah, anecdotal information suggested that results took 24 to 72 hours. Most of the 10 states surveyed said they did not have data on turnaround times for commercial labs in their state, creating another information gap. Health experts said this was not unusual, that state health departments have not typically been responsible for tracking individual laboratory turnaround times. Its a good question of who should be responsible for tracking this information and providing it back to the public, said Kelly Wroblewski, director of infectious diseases with the Association of Public Health Laboratories. There are other factors that can cause delays, from the time of day the test is taken to whether a lab shuts down for the evening. Staffing issues and shortages of testing supplies also can slow the process. Even people visiting the same testing location can have widely different experiences. Earlier this month, Jeff Barnes, a music therapist in metro Atlanta, went to the same drive-thru testing location a week after his wife and two daughters. They were still waiting when he received his results the next day. Theirs wouldnt come for seven days. Barnes said he was concerned what a similar delay would mean if schools reopen in the fall. They are going to have to make it more efficient, Barnes said. If I knew (my daughter) was in a classroom with 20 kids and 10 of them had results pending, I dont know that I would send her. Until rapid tests are widely available, health experts say it will continue to take a day or two to get results under the best circumstances. That creates more opportunities for people who might be infected but feel fine to pass the virus along to others. In late April and May, the state lab in Alabama had trouble acquiring reagents, the chemical substances used to process tests. That led to intermittent delays in reporting results, up to five days from when the lab received the specimen, according to Dr. Karen Landers, assistant state health officer with the Alabama Department of Public Health. Those problems have since been resolved, and the lab now has a turnaround time between 24 and 72 hours from the time it receives samples. One of the largest commercial laboratories, Quest Diagnostics, recently reported its average turnaround time as one day for priority patients and two to three days for all other populations. The company said it expects increased demand to result in longer waits of more than thee days. Other countries face similar challenges. Wait times in China vary by city, from as little as one day in Shanghai to four days in Wuhan, where the virus first emerged. In Japan, tests usually yield results within two days. Mandatory tests, such as those at airports, often come out sooner, according to the health ministry. Results in India initially took around 24 hours. But as infections and testing increased, so did delays. Now results often take two to three days or as long as a week, depending on location. The nearly two-week wait in South Africa makes effective treatment nearly impossible.

Those who are accepted to volunteer will work with their supervisors to ensure their duties are assigned to other staff for the duration of the volunteer assignment ensuring continuity of service; some will perform a portion of their duties remotely.

MLB Trade Rumors

Jacob deGrom To Begin Rehab Assignment

By Darragh McDonald | August 19, 2024 at 6:04pm CDT

Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom is set to begin a rehab assignment this week. The righty himself tells Jeff Wilson of Rangers Today ( X link ) that he’ll likely start for Double-A Frisco on Thursday. Manager Bruce Bochy says that it will either be Thursday or Friday, which will be the first of four rehab outings, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News on X . If all goes according to plan, the righty could be back in the majors by September 10.

deGrom underwent Tommy John surgery in June of last year and is now about 14 months removed from that procedure. Once upon a time, it seemed as though deGrom would be part of a trio of heroes riding in to help the Rangers in the second half of 2024. Tyler Mahle also underwent Tommy John surgery last year and was slated for a midseason return, while Max Scherzer opened the season on the IL after undergoing offseason back surgery.

The 2023 World Series champions hoped that they could stay afloat through the first half of 2024 with a strong offense and a rotation mix consisting of Nathan Eovaldi , Jon Gray , Andrew Heaney , Michael Lorenzen , Cody Bradford , Dane Dunning and others. Ideally, they would have gotten stronger throughout the year and made a strong push in defending their title.

It hasn’t exactly played out that way, unfortunately. The team’s hitters have slashed a collective .239/.308/.381 for a 94 wRC+, putting them ahead of just seven teams in the majors. On top of that, the pitching has been a challenging carousel for the club all year. Due to various ailments, no one on the pitching staff has reached 130 innings pitched yet this year, while Eovaldi and Heaney are the only guys currently on the team with more than 100 frames. Lorenzen was traded to the Royals at the deadline and both Gray and Scherzer are currently on the IL.

The combination of injuries and some struggles around the roster have bumped the Rangers towards the back of the American League playoff race. They are 11 games back of the Astros in the West and then 12.5 games out of a Wild Card spot. The Playoff Odds at FanGraphs give them just a 0.2% chance of cracking the postseason while the PECOTA Standings at Baseball Prospectus are slightly more bullish at 0.8%.

At this point, the club is likely viewing deGrom’s return less as a spark plug for a 2024 postseason push and more about getting a few starts under his belt in preparation for the 2025 campaign. He and the Rangers signed a five-year, $185MM deal heading into 2023, though he’s only been able to make six starts on that deal so far, due to his aforementioned surgery.

The club managed to win the World Series last year even without him, but there’s still three years left on that deal, making him a key part of their next chapter. The righty has been one of the better pitchers in the world over the past decade, though the injuries have been an issue in recent years.

From 2014 to the present, he has a 2.53 earned run average in 1,356 1/3 innings pitched, striking out 31% of batters faced while only walking 5.8%. Among pitchers with at least 700 innings in that time, only Clayton Kershaw has a lower ERA while only Scherzer and Chris Sale topped deGrom in terms of strikeout rate.

In recent years, deGrom has provided even higher quality but with less quantity. He topped 200 innings from 2017 to 2019 but hasn’t even hit 100 since. The 2020 season was shortened to just 60 games by the pandemic and then deGrom missed time in the two subsequent seasons due to right side tightness, right forearm tightness and a stress reaction on his right scapula.

From 2020 to the present, he has tossed 254 2/3 innings with a 2.12 ERA and incredible 42% strikeout rate. That punchout rate is tops among all pitchers with at least 250 innings in that stretch, with Spencer Strider a distant second at 36.9%, while only reliever Emmanuel Clase bests deGrom in the ERA department.

At this point, it’s anyone’s guess what kind of form deGrom will be in when he returns. He is now 36 years old and coming off a lengthy injury absence. He also hasn’t been able to make more than 15 starts in a season since 2019.

The Rangers are set to lose both Scherzer and Heaney to free agency in a couple of months. Eovaldi could be joining them, as his deal has a conditional $20MM player option that he unlocks if he totals 300 innings pitched over 2023 and 2024 or finishes in the top five in Cy Young voting this year. Even if he unlocks that option, he might turn it down and head to the open market since he’s having a strong season and could secure a bigger guarantee over a longer deal in free agency.

If Eovaldi does depart, then the 2025 Ranger rotation on paper is deGrom, Gray, Mahle, Dunning and Bradford, with both Gray and Mahle slated for free agency after next year. Jack Leiter and Owen White are each on the 40-man roster but both have dealt with control problems.

Taken all together, deGrom’s form in the coming years figures to be a significant factor for the Rangers, considering how much they have invested in him and that there’s not a lot of long-term certainty in the rotation picture.

That’s awesome. Hope he comes back to he’s old self.

Would have been highly anticipated if Texas were playing for a playoff spot. Instead we look toward 2025 in hopes deGrom finds his old form.

Damaged goods, should just retire. Not a hall of famer in my book but he was a decent Met. Steve Cohen is retiring players numbers that do not deserve it. Keith Hernandez, Doc Gooden, Willie Mays are all undeserving. I can see them trying to retire Degroms number in the future. Awful franchise

Low energy troll job. You’re supposed to make it sound like you’re a fan. Went a little overboard trashing Keith, Doc, and especially Willie. Rein it in a bit.

Really dumb comment.

“Dumb comment”. I believe that was the whole point, to make a silly, incendiary comment to get a rise out of you. That comment was so dumb, it didn’t even really deserve a response.

LFGMets: If you hate the Mets so much, why is that your username?

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

ny papi: I’m probably less religious than you, but I say let his soul have whatever it’s got coming.

I’m not really the religious type but this Billy Madison quote was very fitting with what he said, or pretty much fitting every time something spews from him

I wonder how hard degrom will throw after TJ

It could be 96 as his new max, or he could throw harder and fire 102 all the time

Who knows what his velocity will be like. His fastball had life on it, I don’t think he’s going to recover that right away. Honestly, Degrom won’t be at full strength until February 2025 when pitchers and catchers report for spring training. I could be wrong, I’m no expert, just making an observation.

Part of the reason why he had to undergo Tommy John surgery was the fact that he threw almost every pitch over 100 mph

I’ve never heard anyone say “I want my favorite pitcher to get TJ!”

But imagine what ohtani and degrom will throw when they get completely healthy…

Almost sounds like you are under the impression that TJS makes you throw harder.

In reality most never regain top velo

I realize it isn’t easy to do but degrom could think about adding some new pitches to his game to protect his arm, shoulder, elbow etc. A sinker, a cutter; experiment with different grips.

As an example Frank Tanana was a remarkable story as he reinvented himself about 3 different times in his career. Degrom already has lifetime $ and a ring, now he could work toward a 2nd ring that he played a bigger part in. He could reorganize his contract and defer, back load some $ to help TEX at other positions

This was his second UCL surgery. It is most definitely not given that he can comeback to his old self.

True. His former hard-throwing teammate, one nicknamed Thor, never recovered fully from his first TJS. On the flip side, Nathan Eovaldi returned from his second TJS better than ever.

Worse human I have met

Too little, too late for 2024. Please stay healthy for 2025.

This is why Texas wasn’t able to insure deGrom’s contract. The only thing they could do was put a team option based on injury because the insurance was incredibly expensive.

What I would give for one more season where deGrom, Trout, and Kershaw all stay healthy for a full season.

“What I would give”…Clayton Kershaw has had plenty of healthy seasons, but is now in the twilight of his career. Don’t get me started on Mike Trout, because it’s highly disappointing to have MLB’s best player constantly on the IL, although he too had many healthy(and MVP) seasons during the first half of his career. We should all probably condition ourselves to the fact that we’ll never again see all 3 players healthy and playing at their usual level.

Unfortunately, that’s life. Sports fans have been “gypped” for generations. Tony Conigliaro, Herb Score, Jose Fernandez, etc. It’s part of life.

So if “deGrom” starts a sentence, it’s still not capitalized?!? Fascinating. You can learn something new everyday.

At one point, the Mets had deGrom, d’Arnaud, and den Dekker at the same time.

At least the Mets aren’t paying him like Scherzer & Verlander to pitch not for them.

In retrospect, it wasn’t a good plan.

You have to hand it to the guy for persevering…he’ll probably drop it and tear a ligament, but still…

Wishing deGrom the best. Who knows what he has left. Was sad to see him go but the Mets dodged a bullet not resigning him. I know things did really work out with Verlander but Texas has to pay deGrom for 3 more seasons.

He was actually quite durable from when he was called up partway into 2014 through 2020. 2020-24 a different story.

Texas Rangers Ace Jacob deGrom Starts Rehab Assignment This Week In Frisco, Followed By Max Scherzer

Cole thompson | aug 19, 2024.

• Texas Rangers

Despite being 11 games out of first place in the AL West and 12.5 games out of the AL wild-card race, the Texas Rangers aren't waving the white flag.

Instead, they're looking to add reinforcements in the form of Jacob deGrom .

deGrom is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment this week as he takes the next step toward his return to a big-league mound for the first time in 2024. The 36-year-old Cy Young Award winner hasn't pitched since tearing his ulnar collateral ligament which required Tommy John surgery back in early 2023.

He's expected to make the first of four rehab starts on Thursday for Double-A Frisco, according to Rangers manager Bruce Bochy. He could be activated and pitch for the Rangers around Sept. 10, Bochy told reporters. Max Scherzer, who has been on the injured list with right shoulder fatigue since July 27, is expected to make a rehab start Friday in Frisco.

Since joining the Rangers, deGrom has pitched 30.1 innings in six appearances and owns a 2.67 ERA. He was 2-0 with a 0.76 WHIP and 45 strikeouts prior to suffering the injury in what was expected to be a breakout start to his five-year, $185 million deal with the eventual World Series champions.

Last weekend, deGrom faced live hitters for the third time since being cleared to throw in Arlington. He told reporters following the session he feels good and ready to begin his rehab, which more than likely will take place in Double-A Frisco.

"My arm feels great except now it's just been, what, how many months? Fourteen?" deGrom, who reportedly threw about 45 pitches, said . "You've got your [teammates] in there. You go face other guys, and I think that'll help a little bit."

While deGrom begins preparation for his first trip back to the mound, the Rangers begin a three-game home series against the Pittsburgh Pirates starting Monday.
