Good
morning, foLLks, and happy Sunday!
The Mariners lost another clunker to the Red Sox last night
, once again falling back to .500. They will look to avoid the sweep at 1:10pm PDT today.In Mariners news:
- Former Mariner Andrew Moore will return to his alma mater as Oregon State University’s pitching coach. Moore had spent the last few seasons coaching in the Guardians’ system.
- Felnin Celesten continued laying waste to the Northwest League, bashing his eighth homer of the season in the AquaSox’s walk-off win. Keep an eye on him getting his first look in Double-A in the next few weeks!
- If you miss Jhonny Pereda after he was optioned upon Cal Raleigh’s return, don’t fret! He made quite the positive impression with the org in his time up, and general manager Justin Hollander emphatically said that he’ll be back at some point this season.
Around the league:
- The Phillies ground the Mets into a fine paste last night, winning 15-3. Kyle Schwarber had two homers in the third inning, but was somehow overshadowed by Bryce Harper, who completed a cycle by the halfway point of the game.
- Angels prospect Juan Cespedes set what is likely an affiliated baseball record, swiping eight bases in the team’s Dominican Summer League game yesterday.
- Recently DFA’d Astros righty Jayden Murray has found a new home on the North Side, as he was acquired by the Cubs for first baseman Cameron Sisneros.
- The Blue Jays acquired old friend Luis Urías from the Diamondbacks for cash considerations. Urías, who has spent all season in Triple-A Reno, appears to have exercised the upward mobility clause in his contract, and he is expected to join the big league club.
- The Bronx will see a big league debut today, as the Yankees promoted their second-ranked prospect RHP Elmer Rodríguez to get the start against Cincinnati. Gerrit Cole will get the start on the road with Detroit tomorrow.
- The Angels released another old friend in Taijuan Walker.
