After the offense sputtered in the series finale against the Phillies, don’t ask me how they stand to try against Spencer Strider and the MLB-best Atlanta Braves. We try in ATL tonight to kick off the weekend series!
⚾️ First Pitch: 7:15pm — Truist Park, Atlanta, GA

Riding high off a five-game winning streak and a recent of the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago White Sox are better than .500 for the first time in a long time and currently hold a Wild Card spot in the American League. Although we’re only halfway through the month of May, the good vibes are flowing and the White Sox have a big opportunity to build on their recent success as the Chicago Cubs travel south.
On the hill for the White Sox is Sean Burke who had been solid for the majority of the season before doing his best Jaime Navarro impression last time out. Burke allowed six earned runs in just over four innings of work against the Seattle Mariners and will look to bounce back against a Cubs offense that is struggling to manufacture runs. The Cubs have lost four of their last five, averaging just one run per game.
Taking the ball for the Chicago Cubs is former Miami Marlins hurler Edward Cabrera. Although he sports a 3-1 record and a 3.88 ERA, Cabrera has given up three or more earned runs in each of his last six starts. In his last outing, he only completed five innings and surrendered two home runs and five earned runs. With a 6.55 ERA in two starts in May and the Good Guys rolling on offense, the hope is that the Cubs get smacked right back into their usual October hibernation a few months early.
Here is the starting lineup for the White Sox:
Here is the starting lineup for our annoying relations from the north:
First pitch is 6:40 pm CST. As a rare White Sox and Brewers fan, I’ll be on the edge of my seat and hopefully be back with a happy recap for you. You can watch on CHSN or listen on ESPN Chicago 1000. Let us know your thoughts and predictions below!
The Brewers starting pitcher will be Coleman Crow, no relation to Aloha director Cameron Crowe. I know bubkis about Crow, who will be making his second MLB start (his first was in April). BrewerFanatic (a pretty good indie site) has Crow ranked as the team’s 16th-highest prospect; MLB.com has him as 25th. Both agree than Crow has a wicked curveball with a really high spin rate; and that the kid’s a gamer, who “‘seems to find ways to get outs even when he doesn’t have his “A” stuff that night’” (from BF). So take that for what it’s worth.
Today we’ll go into The Baseball Project’s catalog, for the odd story of Larry Yount, the older brother of Brewers legend Robin Yount.
Larry was drafted in 1968 at age 18 by the Astros, and despite some control issues in the minors, had put up fairly decent numbers when he was called up to the bigs in September of 1971. (Per Kurt Blumenau of SABR, Larry was one of the Astros’ top five pitching prospects at the time.)
On September 15th, with the Astros trailing Atlanta 4-1 in the ninth, Larry was announced as the next relief pitcher. But he felt something bad in his elbow while he was performing his warmup tosses on the mound. He couldn’t go on, and it turned out he would never pitch in the bigs.
Multiple pitchers have gone down in the record books as appearing in one game without recording a single out; Yount is the only one to have an official appearance without facing an actual batter or throwing a single in-game pitch.
Larry would go on to pitch in the minors for three more seasons over 112 games; those control problems never improved, and his strikeouts decreased badly. He was out of organized baseball by the time he was 26. It happens.
The Baseball Project heard about Larry’s story when they were visiting the Hall of Fame. A curator started telling them about Larry Yount, and said “do you know what? This would make a great song.”
As band co-leader Steve Wynn tell it, “we hear that all the time.” That’s from this very good post about Larry Yount (and about the song) by mlb.com’s Brian McTaggart.
The more Wynn thought about it, the more he agreed it could be a good song. And it ended up on the band’s 3rd album (called, creatively, 3rd). The first time Larry Yount heard it, he cried.
But over time, he grew to find it amusing; so did the rest of the family. “There’s not many guys, I don’t think, that have not even an inning in the Major Leagues and have a song written about them,” Robin Yount said. “So he must have done something right in baseball.” Even though the song imagines a sibling jealousy that actually isn’t there — Larry made it quite rich in real estate, and Robin thanked him in his Hall of Fame induction speech.
Later on, Larry and his wife would have dinner with Steve Wynn; and he’s on their Christmas card list. So that story has a happy ending.
The Twins had their “Bark at the Park” night this Tuesday; the Saints will have their first of the season (they do several) next Saturday. Alas, the current Saints one is for dogs only. In the past, they’ve had ones where “anything wearing a collar and a leash” would get in for free (so, presumably, including cats).
I was always sorely tempted to head over to an Adult Store that sells DIFFERENT kinds of collars/leashes and see how far that “anything with a collar and a leash gets in free” policy goes… alas, looks like I’ve missed my chance.
Finally, speaking of Animal Friends, here’s what a Wisconsin man is willing to do for Science. From The Guardian:
For nearly 20 years, Tim Friede, 58, allowed some of the most lethal snakes in the world to bite him so he could build up an immunity that could one day be developed into a universal antivenom.
This extraordinary and painful quest, undertaken by a window cleaner with no formal scientific training in the basement of his Wisconsin home, nearly killed Friede, almost cost him his leg and his fingers and at one point put him into a coma.
“People said I was crazy, of course. Some people tried to stop me,” he told the Guardian. “I understood it was dangerous but people are dying from snakebites and I was pissed at that. I couldn’t get that out of my head. I put my ass on the line and I’m glad I did.”
Friede’s sacrifices are now poised to help deliver a new, broad antivenom that may avert some of the 138,000 deaths and 400,000 disfigurements and disabilities currently caused each year by snakebites worldwide, most of them poorer people in developing countries across Asia and Africa. In total, as many as 5.5 million people globally are bitten by snakes a year.
Read the whole story for more Fun Animal Encounters! Like: “Further brushes with severe injury and death occurred in the following years. Friede passed out with anaphylactic shock several times, one of his fingers turned black and was nearly amputated after being bitten by a rattlesnake before, most seriously, the venom of a monocled cobra caused muscles in his leg to start to disintegrate.”
Well, Gods bless the guy. At least it seems his heart is in the right place. He’s lucky it still is!
So if you see a Brewers fan at the game tonight with some strange marks on his hands/arms, just be grateful it wasn’t “bring ANY pet to the game night” at Target Field…

The New York Yankees placed Max Fried on the 15-day injured list Friday with what the team called a left elbow bone bruise. It will not be just a brief stint on the IL.
While Fried told reporters he was encouraged by the imaging and that he doesn’t expect to need surgery, he will be shut down from throwing for a few weeks. The Yankees also said Dr. Neal ElAttrache will review the MRI on Thursday.
Fried exited Wednesday's start against the Baltimore Orioles after three innings, having allowed three runs on five hits and a walk on 61 pitches. He described a hyperextension sensation in the elbow that had come and gone throughout the season before becoming impossible to pitch through.
The 32-year old left-hander has been excellent in 2026, posting a 3.21 ERA over 61 2/3 innings, the most in the majors this season. He signed an eight-year $218 million deal with New York in December 2024, the fourth largest contract ever given to a pure pitcher.
Fried has dealt with a series of injuries throughout his career, including Tommy John surgery in 2014 as a minor leaguer with the San Diego Padres. He’s had recurring finger blisters in his early years with Atlanta. He’s also dealt with a concussion, a hamstring strain and left forearm neuritis.
This is his first elbow injury since the Tommy John procedure more than a decade ago.
The Yankees are hoping to get Gerrit Cole back in their rotation within the next few weeks. The 2023 Cy Young Award winner missed all of the 2025 season after Tommy John surgery and has at least one more minor league rehab start to go before returning.
With both aces unavailable, the Yankees will be relying on Cam Schlittler, Carlos Rodon, Will Warren, Ryan Weathers and either Paul Blackburn, Ryan Yarbrough or Elmer Rodriguez to step in.
The Yankees went into play Friday with the best team ERA in the American League (3.22) and the second best in the majors behind the Atlanta Braves. Their starting rotation has a 3.14 ERA, second best in the AL behind the Tampa Bay Rays and this in the majors.

Texas Rangers lineup for May 15, 2026: starting pitchers are Jack Leiter for the Rangers and Spencer Arrighetti for the Astros.
The Rangers begin a 9 game road trip with a game in Houston. Corey Seager gets the day off.
The lineup:
Pederson — DH
Duran — SS
Nimmo — RF
Jung — 3B
Carter — CF
Burger — 1B
Osuna — LF
Higashioka — C
Foscue — 2B
7:10 p.m. Central start time. The game is a pick ‘em.
It was rough going from the first inning. The San Diego Padres had newcomer Griffin Canning on the mound, who had (mostly) impressed in his first two starts of the year. He did not impress this time around.
Canning issued four walks over just 1 2/3 innings of work, surrendering six runs to the Milwaukee Brewers. At the end of the first inning, the Padres had more hits (2) than the Brewers (1) but trailed 3-0. It was like that for most of the game, with the Friars failing to score until an RBI forceout in the ninth inning.
With San Diego now headed to Seattle to face the Mariners, they’ll need to get the offense going before they meet the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. If they can’t do that, it’s going to be a rough week for the Friar Faithful.
Hancock is off to a fantastic start to the season with the Mariners. He’s headlined a rotation full of elite pitchers who have made way for the breakout righty. Entering play on Friday, Hancock boasts a 3.21 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 47 2/3 innings.
The Friars faced Hancock in their last series against Seattle, and he managed to hold them to two runs over six innings. San Diego ended up winning that game with a five-run ninth-inning rally, but Hancock wasn’t the cause of that. The offense will need to come alive if they hope to scratch some runs against the right-hander.
Similarly, Vásquez has been a breakout pitcher in the San Diego rotation. The righty sports a 3.05 ERA in 44 1/3 innings. The WHIP is a little high at 1.17, but he’s managed to strand the baserunners he picks up most of the time.
Vásquez also faced Seattle in that last series, but it went much worse for him than it did for Hancock. It was the right-hander’s first poor start of 2026, allowing four runs in the same number of innings. The Padres still ended up winning, but they’ll need a better performance from Vásquez this time around if they hope to save their beleaguered bullpen.
Manager Craig Stammen has been making his lineups as offense focused as possible lately, having Fernando Tatis Jr. play second base quite often so Nick Castellanos and Miguel Andujar’s bats can remain in the lineup. That hasn’t worked, so it’s possible they try something different in this series.
I know, I know. Putting Machado in the fifth spot feels blasphemous. But he’s batting .190 on the year. He cannot keep hitting in the three and four spots as if that still makes sense. The same goes for Tatis, who has had an incredibly streaky start to the year mostly because of poor hitting mechanics.
Bogaerts and Merrill, on the other hand, have a career .429 and .400 batting average against Hancock. Sheets owns a 1.232 OPS. If they can show up tonight against Seattle, the San Diego starter might be able to pitch with a lead for the first time in a while.
With Canning unable to make it through two innings, Ron Marinaccio, Yuki Matsui and Matt Waldron covered the rest of the Padres’ loss on Thursday. The three pitched well, only giving up one run in that time frame.
Despite Stammen stating that Waldron will continue to pitch out of the ‘pen, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Waldron will be designated for assignment. Acee also reports that the Padres will call up reliever Alek Jacob to pitch out of the ‘pen until starter Lucas Giolito is added to the roster this weekend.
For tonight’s series opener, the high-leverage relievers are out in full force. Jason Adam, Jeremiah Estrada, Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon and Wandy Peralta are all available out of the ‘pen tonight. But, hopefully, Vásquez can pitch deep enough that Stammen won’t need to call on too many of those arms.

Cubs lineup:
White Sox lineup:
Edward Cabrera was going along pretty well this year, then he got hit hard by the Rangers last Saturday. Of concern as well: After allowing no home runs in his first four starts covering 22.2 innings, he’s now served up seven homers in his last four starts, in 23.2 innings. This is not a trend you want to see continue.
Cabrera has also been better at Wrigley Field (3.60 ERA in five starts) than on the road (4.41 ERA in three starts). Small sample sizes here.
Last year, Cabrera held the Sox to one run in five innings at Rate Field, May 10. 2025. We’d take that tonight.
Sean Burke has made eight appearances for the Sox this year (six starts). The relief appearances were essentially “starts” following an opener. Coming off two good outings vs. the Nationals and Padres, Burke got lit up by the Mariners in his last start (six runs in 4.1 innings).
He made two starts against the Cubs last year and allowed eight runs (seven earned) in 9.1 innings. One thing he’s done better this year is cut down on his walk rate.
Here is the weather forecast for the area around Rate Field.
Today’s game is on Marquee Sports Network. It’s also on Chicago Sports Network and WCIU-Ch. 26 with the Sox announcers.

The Phillies – winners of their last five series – will head to Pittsburgh to start a three-game series with the Pirates on Friday night.
The Phillies’ starting pitcher for the opener will be Aaron Nola. Nola is off to a rough start to the season at 2-3 with a 5.14 ERA.
He’ll be opposed by righthander Braxton Ashcroft. In his second big league season, Ashcraft is 2-2 with a 2.77 ERA.
Game time is 6:40 PM and will be televised locally on NBCSP.
On Thursday afternoon, Homer Bush Jr laced a line drive that just kept carrying. It quickly soared over the starting pitcher, Owen Murphy. The middle infields jogged lazily into shallow center field as they began to line up for a potential relay throw, but quickly realized it was not going to happen. Then center fielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. watched helplessly as the ball cleared the center field wall for a two-run homerun.
There was nothing dazzling about the homerun. It had an exit velocity of 102.4mph and only traveled 379 feet. But it was already the second homerun in Triple-A for Homer Bush Jr. after hitting zero all of last season in Double-A.
A few days prior, Bush Jr. did not look on helplessly as a batter sent a towering flyball to deep right field. Bush Jr. tracked the ball, taking calculated steps as the right field wall quickly approached. The ball soared just beyond the right field wall, but Bush Jr. perfectly timed a jump and leapt up to snag the ball and take a homerun away from the opposing hitter.
The highlight reel play continued an impressive start to the season for perhaps the most underrated prospect in the Rays system.
The Rays originally acquired Bush Jr. during the firesale that was the 2024 trade deadline, where he was part of the return for reliever Jason Adam. Dylan Lesko and JD Gonzalez were also involved but both are struggling in the lowest levels of the Rays system. Bush Jr. is looking like he might turn into something for Tampa Bay.
Entering Spring Training, Bush Jr. was ticketed to be a starting outfielder for Triple-A Durham, where he would battle for playing time in center field with newcomers Jacob Melton and Victor Mesa Jr. Then, during a Spring Training game, Bush Jr. injured his thumb while making a diving catch. This led to him opening the year on the Injured List and unable to make his season debut until April 18th. He only rehabbed for one game in Single-A before moving up to Triple-A for the first time in his career.
Since arriving at the uppermost level in the Rays system, Bush Jr. has hit .329/.390/.443 with 2 HR over 84 plate appearances. Although it’s a small sample, that offensive production nearly mirrors what Bush Jr. has done throughout his minor league career, although he already has surpassed his homerun total from last season. In Double-A in 2025, he hit .301/.375/.360 without a homerun over 546 trips to the plate; Bush Jr. is also walking and striking out at nearly the same clip. Also, Bush Jr. is among the best base stealers in all of minor league baseball, swiping 57 bases in each of the past two seasons.
His offensive production is welcome, but the tools that will propel Bush Jr. to the big leagues are his speed and defensive capabilities.
Following the 2025 season, Bush Jr. was awarded a Minor League Gold Glove, officially recognizing him as one of the top three defensive outfielders in all of minor league baseball. In their latest rankings of Rays prospects, FanGraphs rated Bush Jr. as have 80-grade speed and potentially 60-grade fielding ability. Meanwhile, Baseball America had him at 80-grade speed and 70-fielding. He was considered the second fastest runner in the Rays organization behind Chandler Simpson.
Despite his success in 2025, Bush Jr’s lack of power at the plate led to him sliding down prospect charts. He was 22nd at our site, but didn’t make the Rays top 30, instead slotting in at 31st for Baseball America:
Bush looks like an NFL free safety, but that size and physicality is not apparent at the plate, where he hit zero home runs in 2025. He is a polished hitter with a well above-average glove in center field.
Rays Assistant GM, Kevin Ibach, reaffirmed that sentiment when discussing Bush Jr. at the end of last season.
“You look at his body, and he wouldn’t look out of place playing (for the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers),” Ibach said. “So while the impact hasn’t quite shown up in the offensive stat line, there’s optimism about some untapped power potential.’’
Bush Jr. has always looked like a hitter capable of tapping into some power but thus far the homerun stroke has more or less eluded him throughout his career. However, Triple-A has been kind to him thus far in a small sample, having already launched two homeruns and is currently slugging .443 entering play on Friday; that slugging percentage would be the highest of his professional career.
The Rays outfield situation right now is barren. Behind Jonny DeLuca on the Rays depth chart, Homer Bush Jr. might just be the next man up should there be an injury concern, as Jacob Melton is currently on the Injured List and Victor Mesa Jr is working his way from an injury suffered in mid-April.
Well, the question over the past two weeks was whether the Detroit Tigers could hold it together long enough to start getting some help back off the injured list. Suffice it to say it hasn’t gone well. Losers of eight of their last ten games, the Tigers are still only 4.5 games behind first place Cleveland in the division. They’ll get a chance to test the 2026 Guardians in person early next week in Comerica Park. Fortunately, the news on the injury side is rapidly improving. Casey Mize is now scheduled to pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
Mize hit the injured list with a groin strain after his last start on April 28 was cut short after he pursued a ball off the mound. At that point, the 29-year-old right-hander was pitching the best baseball of his career. With the best command of his splitter we’ve seen in pro ball, Mize is whiffing 27.3 percent of hitters faced, five percent better than his career best mark set in 2025. Mize’s 2.90 ERA and 2.85 FIP are top 33 and top 16 numbers in baseball from starters with at least 30 innings so far. Starting pitching hasn’t really been the Tigers biggest issue over the past three weeks, but they’ve held it together by using some of their better relievers out of an already poor relief corps to help handle the vacated rotation spots while having to deal with short, generally bad outings from Jack Flaherty, and a mess of a game from Framber Valdez.
In the meantime, AJ Hinch announced on Friday that Connor Seabold is back from the injured list, and RHP Ricky Vanasco has been optioned back to Triple-A Toledo. Seabold hasn’t been particularly good so far, but he’s at least been more effective than some of the depth options behind him were. Better help is close at hand as Will Vest has avoided any signficant injuries and is scheduled to rehab with the Mud Hens on Friday, along with Beau Brieske, who has yet to pitch this season but has thrown the ball well in his rehab appearances.
The biggest issue for the Tigers remains their bullpen. With Brant Hurter helping cover two vacant rotation spots, and Ty Madden pitching bulk innings, it’s an extremely weak group. They really need a healthy Will Vest in there to stabilize things, and if Brieske can get it going as well, all the better. Adding Hurter back to the bullpen mix at least part time will only help matters even more. Troy Melton has about 10 days until he’s eligible to return, presumably in a starting role.
Just as important for an offense that has blown a tire over the past two weeks, second baseman Gleyber Torres, a crucial cog in the Tigers’ lineup, is also close to going out on a rehab assignment, perhaps as soon as this weekend. More likely, with the Mud Hens home next week, expect that assignment to start on Tuesday as the Mud Hens kick off a home series against Indianapolis.
The Tarik Skubal news is also very promising, as he’s already progressed to doing some light throwing only nine days after a nanoscope procedure to remove a bone chip described as being about the size of a lima bean from his left elbow. The nanoscope procedure is much less invasive that the usual arthroscopic procedure, doing much less damage to tissues during the operation, and the hope was always that this would speed his return. So far, so good.
And in the final bit of good injury news, LHP Andrew Sears began a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League and throwing two innings. Sears, along with fellow LHP Jake Miller, are the Tigers two most advanced starting pitcher prospects, but both have been sidelined since spring camp. Miller is still working his way back from double hip labrum repairs last fall, and his status is unknown. Miller was never transferred to the major league 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man, so we expect some news on his status shortly. The duo offers some hope of further starting depth, and the ability to handle middle relief should one or both get it going by midseason.
As was expected after he exited his Wednesday start early in Baltimore, Max Fried is going on the IL with an elbow injury before the Yankees’ Subway Series showdown tonight against the Mets. The good news is that the southpaw, who underwent Tommy John surgery as a minor leaguer in 2014, appears to have dodged the worst. An MRI revealed a bone bruise in Fried’s left elbow, a much better finding than the kind of structural issue which was the nightmare scenario. Per Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Fried does not expect surgery will be necessary. Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the preeminent surgeon who performed Gerrit Cole’s Tommy John surgery last year, will review the imaging to confirm there is no ligament damage that needs to be addressed.
It’s unclear how much time he will miss, but the Yankees have indicated they expect it to be more than the minimum 15 days, planning to reevaluate their star hurler “in a few weeks.” Fresh off a fourth-place Cy Young Award finish in his first season with the Yankees last year, Fried was off to a hot start through the end of April, going 4-1 with a 2.09 ERA through seven outings. He struggled in May, allowing 11 runs in 14.1 innings, before exiting after the third inning during his most recent outing against the Orioles.
With Cole still expected to need multiple rehab starts before returning, the Yankees will need to look elsewhere to fill Fried’s spot, at least in the interim. Elmer Rodríguez, the team’s number-two prospect according to MLB Pipeline, would be the most obvious choice, and Sherman hinted as much. Rodríguez held his own in two starts earlier this season, allowing five runs in 8.2 innings. He last pitched on Sunday, so he’s rested and ready whenever the Yankees want to insert him. At latest, it would be on Tuesday in Toronto, but it could be sooner if Matt Blake and company want to give another member of the rotation an extra day of rest.
Mets utility player Jared Young is playing in his first rehab game since undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus in his left knee in mid-April.
Young’s return to the lineup comes for Single-A St. Lucie, where he’ll be batting second and DHing.
The 30-year-old was off to a hot start for New York this season, slashing .350/.391/.450 with two doubles and two RBI in 20 at-bats while playing first base, left field and right field.
With the Mets’ offense struggling at the time, Young had been getting more and more at-bats and was impressive in the field as well, with some highlight-reel catches in the outfield.
Tonight’s game is an Apple TV one, because MLB will sellout to anyone offering a bag of money. Trey Yesavage (1-1, 0.68) goes against Brenan Hanifee (0-0, 1.08, making his second start of the season, with 5 relief appearances). It looks like a cloudy day (or a cloudy weekend) in Detroit.
There are a bunch of injury updates:
And they haven’t made any announcement on tomorrow’s starter or how they plan to get through nine innings. Odds are that Spencer Miles will have a part in it. Some of the plans will depend on how things go today. I’d imagine that Yariel Rodriguez will be part of things too. But even if both are in the game, there will be 4-5 innings left for others.
Tonight’s lineups:
Tarik Skubal is on the IL but he’s throwing already. The Tigers have Casey Mize starting tomorrow. Sunday It is Kevin Gausman and Jack Flaherty who is 0-4 with a 5.73 ERA. It would be nice if he’s 0-5 after it.
It would be nice to win some of these games. Or all of them.
