has advanced past the need for Jo Adell. Happy Sunday everybody!
In Mariners news…
- After exiting Friday’s game early, Brendan Donovan was absent from last night’s lineup versus the Angels. Ryan Divish caught up with him before the game and it seems like he is ok and the Mariners are just being cautious.
- Should Brendan need to miss an extended period of time, Colt Emerson would presumably be the next man up, so it’s of the utmost important that he stays healthy at all costs.
Around the league…
- Juan Soto left Friday’s game in the first inning with tightness in his calf. Soto got an MRI yesterday afternoon that revealed a minor calf strain and he’ll be day-to-day for the time being.
- Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts exited yesterday’s game after aggravating his lower back while running the bases.
- Justin Verlander was scratched from his first start at home in Detroit yesterday and placed on the 15-day IL with inflammation in his left hip.
- All-Star catcher Alejandro Kirk was placed on the 10-day IL with a fracture in his catching thumb. Kirk and the Blue Jays will find out on Monday if surgery is required.
- Being born on the same day as your baseball team sounds like the plot to a truly delightful romantic comedy, instead it’s reality for this Nationals fan, who took their ceremonial “first sip” on the field before the start of yesterday’s game in D.C. Worth noting, I’ve seen many people take their first sip of beer. I remember my own first sip of beer. That was not her first sip of beer.
Nick’s pick…
- The Masters, one of my personal favorite sporting events of the entire calendar, starts on Thursday. With it comes memories of last year’s incredible tournament that saw Rory McIlroy finally secure the career Grand Slam after eleven years of trying, a moment that was captured beautifully by legendary photographer Ken Griffey Jr.
