After his inside the park homer and a blistering offensive week overall, Bobby Witt Jr was named the AL Player of the Week.
Witt collected 11 hits during the week, which included a four-hit performance against the Guardians on Thursday. It was one of three multi-hit games last week for Witt, who raised his batting average more than 20 points last week to .302, and raised his OPS by 82 points to .847. Witt is now at 2.8 bWAR for the season, tied for the MLB lead among position players.
Tod Palmer writes about Bridget Howard’s journey as the first female full-time broadcaster for Royals TV.
She remembers watching as female broadcasters broke into the sports world and made a mark — Erin Andrews, Jenny Dell, Taylor McGregor, et al. — and that fueled her desire to do the same.
“Those were women that I looked up to, and I saw them in roles like this and was like, ‘Hey, I can do this, too,’” Bridget said.
Now, she’s one of those inspirational women whom little girls with big dreams watch during Royals games.
A high school player feels most likely for the Royals. They have been all over Rojas this spring, and he’s pitched excellently. He has terrific arm speed, a big fastball and a chance for a wipeout breaking ball. If Lombard isn’t taken by now, he probably doesn’t last much longer than this, and it’s also hard to rule out Booth and his top-of-the-scale speed.
Eno Sarris wonders why left-handers aren’t throwing splitters as much despite the pitch being more popular than ever.
One of the first things that always comes up with splitters is the impact the pitch has on a pitcher’s health. Does the split-finger grip lead to injury?
“The reason that I don’t throw the splitter anymore is I did blow out my elbow when I was throwing it,” said San Francisco Giants left-handed starter Robbie Ray. “I don’t think there’s any correlation between the two, but it just happened. I was throwing it a lot in spring training, I was working on it, and never had any issue. I think my elbow was just ready to go.”

Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi was scratched from his start last night due to left side tightness.
It's a full 15-game slate across the Majors today, which means no shortage of value in my MLB player props. I'll highlight Paul Skenes, Elly De La Cruz, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Paul Skenes is carving opponents early on, posting a 2.36 ERA while striking out 46 hitters in 42 innings of work. The Pittsburgh Pirates ace has cashed the Over in Ks just once in his last three starts, but he did finish with seven punchouts in the other two outings, and tonight's matchup heavily plays in Skenes' favor.
He'll face the lowly Colorado Rockies, one of the worst teams in the big leagues. Colorado strikes out more than any other team, with an average of 9.78 per game. They're also averaging over 12 Ks per contest across their last three, and Skenes' electric stuff will be too much for them.
He also has 26 punchouts in 21 1/3 home innings.

Elly De La Cruz Over 1.5 hits (+185)
Elly De La Cruz is tearing the cover off the baseball. He's batting .308 in May and .367 over the last week. The Cincinnati Reds star has three consecutive multi-hit games, and he finished with three hits in Sunday's victory over the Astros. De La Cruz had seven hits in that three-game series.
Tonight's matchup will be one he's looking forward to as well. The Washington Nationals send veteran Miles Mikolas to the mound, who sports an ERA over seven. He's getting absolutely torched every time he takes the hill, and De La Cruz is hitting .333 against him, going 5-for-15 lifetime.
De La Cruz is also batting a mile better at home with a .346 average, compared to a .232 mark on the road.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto Over 6.5 strikeouts (+114)
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been led by the dominance of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is having a nice campaign. He's gone 3-2 with a 3.09 ERA, striking out 40 in 43 2/3 frames. Yamamoto has hit the Over in Ks in three of his last four appearances, and he sat down eight via the strikeout in his most recent start against the Astros.
Yamamoto will face the San Francisco Giants this evening, and he already struck out seven against them earlier this season. He's held them to a .181 average as a lineup as well. The Giants do a respectable job of putting the ball in play, but they strike out a lot more on the road, averaging 8.33 Ks.

Remember last year, when your pal J.R. Fickle tipped you off to future Yankees ace Cam Schlittler — with the caveat that he had no real cards… but would soon? And then he basically was awesome before his first card came out, leveling the playing field for all those non-Mail Day readers?
Let’s try this again.
Bowman Draft isn’t the most attractive set for investing in cards — being described casually as “Bowman paper” doesn’t exactly ooze cardboard sexiness. But there is a pitcher in the Dodgers system who has his first card in the upcoming set and NOBODY is on him, despite the double-banger of having fantastic stats and — potentially — the most compelling story of the season.
Patrick Copen is a 6’6”, 220 lb, 22 year-old starter for the Tulsa Drillers, LA’s Double-A affiliate. He currently has a 3.31 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 46 strikeouts in 33 ⅔ innings. He was the Texas League Pitcher of the Month in April. He is an elite strikeout machine — last year he struck out 152 batters in 117 ⅔ IP.
And he was permanently blinded in one eye two seasons ago.
In 2024, Copen was hit in the face by a line drive. He lost vision in his right eye from the injury. A year later he was back on the mound. He hasn’t missed a step as far as his stats go, although he told MLB Network he had trouble checking runners on second base. Fabian Ardaya wrote a fantastic story about him last year for The Athletic. There’s storyline gold here. And the fact that his prices in breaks or singles on eBay are still low mean that people haven’t caught on yet. He’s not a top prospect, but maybe he should be. Still, we use that to our advantage as collectors apparently haven’t done their homework.
There are, as always, a couple caveats. Keith Law projects Copen as a reliever. And he’s in the Dodgers system, which is already blocking things with possibly seven starters for a six-man rotation. But hey — anyone can be traded at any given time! And Keith Law has probably been wrong before. We haven’t checked but…
Copen’s card should be one you want. He’s put up near-elite minor league numbers, he’s a member of a prestigious organization, and he has a backstory that would make your Alysa Liu cards wilt in its presence.
I would like to take a moment to shout out the Jose Rijo 1994 Stadium Club card.
I stumbled upon it during one of my white rabbit pursuits and man. What a great card.
Also we forget that Rijo basically lost five seasons at the end of his prime because of two Tommy John surgeries and other arm issues. He was borderline studly before that and has one of the more tragic runs of bad luck in junk wax history. But the twist is that he came back after those five seasons and had a couple more years of decent relief outings.
For those of you following my months-long PSA/GameStop saga — it has come to an end. Predictably, it did not go well.
To bring everyone up to date: Three months ago I dropped off two cards — a Lauren Betts autographed rookie and a Trey Lance autographed rookie (yes, back in February the gamble was Lance would sign on as a starter somewhere) — at GameStop just to see how that process would go. Last week I got an email that they were ready. I was expecting an 8, hoping for a 9, and would love to have gotten a 10.
Both cards graded out as 6s.
I’m going to crack them open and send them to TAG. Or CSG — they were an awesome experience for me. Or SGC — they were also an awesome experience. I’m not a grading noob; I know these cards were in good enough shape to send in. I just picked the wrong company.
Also, GameStop still smells weird. And it doesn’t open until noon, so I had to kill time at Wal-Mart, TJ Maxx (don’t get me started on the state of men’s low-cut socks), and Target for two hours, foolishly assuming they opened at 10am like a normal store.
If you read this newsletter regularly, you know I have little good to say about PSA. So this mini-rant shouldn’t be a surprise. But I have now gone through even their most obscure grading process and it was, predictably, an annoying waste of money.
After winning the weekend series in Los Angeles versus the Dodgers in one attempt to prove they are the National League’s best team, the Braves get a chance to further validate that claim against the Cubs to start the week. The Cubs have been the hottest team in baseball, and will likely prove to be another big challenge for the Braves.
Fortunately for Atlanta, more reinforcements are on the way. Ha-Seong Kim is back in the majors and is ready to make his season debut. Eli white was put on the 7-day concussion IL as a result, so Mauricio Dubon will have plenty of opportunity to play until some of the Braves outfield depth returns.

Despite their best efforts — and the effort was there on Sunday by Payton Tolle and others — the Red Sox lost another series. This time to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Sox briefly rose to 4th place in the AL East before the Sox dropped the series, the Orioles won, and Boston returned to its seemingly permanent last place home. That series was supposed to be four games, but rain forced Saturday’s matinee — and a possible split — to July. Boston remains just 2.0 games out of a Wild Card and about a game out of third place in the division. If they can just string a few wins together the entire feeling surrounding the season can flip. The dark clouds can be vanquished.
Chris Cotillo said the Red Sox may hope to get Willson Contreras back for the start of the series against the Phillies. Losing their first baseman would bring shades of 2025. And Contreras has been one of the few players to contribute on both sides of the ball so far this season. Roman Anthony might return at the end of the week when eligible. Ranger Suarez dodged a bullet with his own health issue. There are positives. The team just needs…wins.
While the Red Sox found Chadball after the firing of Alex Cora and a 7-6 record, the Phillies have benefitted even more from their shakeup: they’re 10-3 under Don Mattingly. This pushes the Phillies all the way to 19-22 (.463) vs. the Red Sox 17-23 record (.425) The Mets, the remaining big market flop, thankfully sit at 15-25 with their manager intact.
But if the Sox can sweep Detroit, can they handle Philly? They’ll miss ace Christopher Sáchez, thankfully. Bryce Harper, Kyle “from Waltham” Schwarber, and Brandon Marsh are leading the offense, while Trea Turner and some of the younger players struggle.
Zack Wheeler returned from thoracic outlet syndrome to pitch like he always has. A lucky break for the Phils to regain a second ace. His strikeouts are down a tick, his walks up a bit, but he’s made three starts on the season and allowed just 6 runs in 18 innings. He’ll face, likely, Brayan Bello and an opener. Bello was excellent against the Tigers tossing 7 innings while allowed just a single run in a 10-3 Boston win. He struck out 7 and walked 1. That’ll play against any lineup.
Top prospect Andrew Painter is now “struggling rookie Andrew Painter” and hopefully stays like that for one more start. A righthander and still just 23, Painter was rocked by the A’s last time out for 8 runs in 3.2 innings. Two starts earlier he gave up 5 runs n 5.2 against Atlanta. He’s struck out 30 in 32.2 innings while walking 12. Six homers haven’t helped either. Sonny Gray looked solid against the Tigers after a couple weeks on the IL. He didn’t’ allow a run in 5.0 innings and the bullpen was able to carry the victory across. Hopefully he’s able to add a sixth inning and give the ‘pen a little breathing room.
Jesús Luzardo has had some rough outings. He’s given up at least 5 runs in 4 of his 8 starts. In the other four he’s allowed 4 runs combined. Last time out against Colorado was a 6-run, 3.0 inning affair. But he handled the Giants, who like the Sox have struggled offensively, for 7.0 shutout innings at the end of April. We’ll see what the Sox lefties can do to him. Ranger Suárez, who left his last start on 5/3 with some hamstring trouble, avoids the IL to make a start with just a little extra rest. He’s been basically everything the Red Sox could have hoped. The WBC delayed his preparation a tad but then after his first two starts it’s just the blip with the Yankees who were, frankly, crushing everything. If he’s healthy and rolls out another 7-8 inning gem against his old team it’s possible the Sox win this series, though obviously he’d rather take the mound with visions of brooms.

Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation. The Red Sox start a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies today. It marks the fifth National League opponent the Red Sox have played over the first month of the season. The balanced schedule has been around for a few years now, with fewer divisional games and everyone playing everyone, but it still doesn’t feel quite right to me. So, I’m wondering, how do you feel about the balanced schedule? Do you wish we still played Baltimore 19 times, or whatever it was?
Talk about whatever you want, and be good to one another.
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - MAY 11: Coby Mayo #16 of the Baltimore Orioles celebrates in the dugout with teammates after hitting a three run home run against the New York Yankees during the seventh inning at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on May 11, 2026 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters!
It’s an especially happy Tuesday because the Orioles last night with a comeback win against the Yankees to start the three-game series out on the right foot.
For much of the game, it didn’t look like it would be a happy ending. Through six innings, the Orioles had no hits off of Yankees starter Ryan Weathers. Brandon Young hadn’t pitched poorly, but his two runs allowed looked like they might hold up for New York.
It all unraveled in the seventh inning, when Adley Rutschman broke up the no-no with a ground ball single, Tyler O’Neill worked a walk, and Coby Mayo launched the kind of home run we all imagined from him when he was a prospect. You can get the full details on the win in Alex Church’s game recap.
Let’s talk about Coby Mayo for a minute. Mayo was not in the original lineup for last night’s game. He was added as the DH not long before the game started when Samuel Basallo was pulled with a sore knee. Mayo struck out in his first at-bat, but worked a walk in the fifth inning before his seventh-inning home run was hit deep into the left field stands. What a night for Coby!
Another maligned Oriole, Tyler O’Neill, also had a few big contributions last night. With one out and Rutschman on second base, O’Neill worked the count full. He fouled off three straight 3-2 pitches before taking ball four on the ninth pitch of the at-bat. We haven’t seen many ABs like that from O’Neill this year. O’Neill also made a nice diving play to catch an Aaron Judge line drive early in the game, then made a leaping catch at the wall in the top of the ninth.
Are the Orioles a fundamentally better team after last night’s win? Of course not. Should we expect that Mayo and O’Neill will turn it around and lead this team back into a playoff position? Probably not. But it sure was nice to see them contribute to a team win, and it was nice to see the Orioles have some fight in them to come back after being held down by a tough starting pitcher for many innings.
Now the Orioles have two chances to get a series win against the Yankees. Tonight, they face righty Will Warren. The one little problem is that there is no one to start for the Orioles. It would have been Cade Povich’s turn in the rotation, but he is on the injured list. If Trevor Rogers comes off of the IL without making a rehab start, it could be him.
Is today your birthday? Happy birthday! You have four Orioles birthday buddies, including Joe Nolan (75). Nolan had an 11-season MLB career, the last four of which were with the Orioles from 1982-85. In 216 games, Nolan hit .249/.313/.374 as a backup catcher.
Also born on this day in history are former Orioles Terrin Vavra (29), Evan Meek (43), and Kevin Bass (67).
On this day in 2023, Cedric Mullins hit for the cycle as the Orioles beat the Pirates, 6-3. He started the game with a flyout, then got four hits to end the game. His bottom-of-the-8th home run was an Earl Weaver Special to seal the cycle. Relive the magic! That triple was incredible. Cedric is so fast.
People come to Los Angeles with big dreams. Some want to make it as Hollywood actors. Others dream of a record deal and music fame. And there’s those who aspire to drink green juice while wearing oversized sunglasses and attend the third-through-seventh inning of a Dodger game at Chavez Ravine while pitching a reality show.
The San Francisco Giants had more humble dreams: To get double-digit hits for the third time in four games and continue their 2026 dominance over the defending world champions. They did that and more Monday night, notching 12 hits and six walks in a 9-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
You know it’s a big hit when the NBCS account breaks out a reference to a 30-year-old Will Smith album! Willy Adames went 2-for-5 with three RBIs, one of five Men In Black and Orange with a multi-hit game Monday night. Rafael Devers got jiggy wit his fifth home run, scored three runs, and reached base four times. Every member of the starting lineup had either a hit or an RBI, truly the mark of an offense that keeps the roof blazin’.
All this on a night where the Giants had two runners thrown out at home, Jesus Rodriguez got his first career stolen base, and Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-5.
Matt Gage (3-1) picked up the win after relieving Trevor McDonald (5.1 IP, 9H, 3R, 2BB, 4K) in the 6th inning, after a Max Muncy home run and a Teoscar Hernandez single chased him from the game. Gage retired all five Dodgers he faced, mowing down the heart of the lineup. Maybe Ohtani and Kyle Tucker could settle for some deferred hits?
McDonald got hit hardest in the 4th inning, when the Dodgers led off the inning with four straight singles, all off of sinkers. The Giants escaped down only 2-1 thanks to an Adames-to-Arraez-to-Schmidt double play.
The Giants countered with three straight singles off lefty Alex Vesia (1-1) from Jung Hoo Lee, Luis Arraez, and Casey Schmidt, who reached base four times Monday. Devers drew a seven-pitch, bases-loaded walk to give the Giants a 4-3 lead before “Big Willy Style” drove in Arraez and Schmidt, just the two of them.
Devers started the scoring with a second-inning homer off starter Rory Sasaki, who had one of his better outings of the season by giving up three runs and six hits and striking out five. Like his walk, this came on a 3-2 pitch, the 8th pitch of the at-bat. Devers nearly fouled out on the previous pitch, but Hernandez got distracted by a Dodgers official holding a folding chair. One pitch later, he made Sasaki and the chair-wielding man pay.
Devers missed on a bases-loaded opportunity in the 3rd, where the Giants loaded the bases in unusual fashion. Rodriguez drew a walk and then stole second when Lee struck out, swinging and missing so badly he threw his bat down the first-base line. He went to third on an Arraez single but didn’t score after Sasaki beaned Schmidt and Sasaki retired Devers and Heliot Ramos.
In the 6th, the Giants showed off some excellent baserunning and some less excellent baserunning. Schmidt singled and took third on a Devers single, with Devers hustling to second when the throw went to third. Ramos followed with a two-run double down the line.
In a very Heliot Ramos sequence, he went to third on a deep fly ball, then got thrown out at home by roughly 20 feet on a Matt Chapman groundout.
Was that the only Giant thrown out at the plate? Heavens no. Harrison Bader doubled in the 8th and made it to third on a delayed start when Rodriguez grounded out to Muncy and Freddie Freeman’s throw back to third went high. One pitch later, Lee grounded to first and Bader was tagged out in a rundown.
The Giants got some insurance in the 8th inning when Schmidt walked and stole second (two steals in one game?!?). An intentional walk to Devers was followed by an unintentional walk to Ramos, an Adames single, and another walk, this time to Chapman.
The Giants rounded out the scoring with an RBI groundout from Rodriguez. Poor Lee was the second Giant hit in the game, but at least he only got nailed by a curveball. That made four walks and a hit batsmen in one inning from Wyatt Mills, who may not be long for the Dodgers roster.
The bullpen went 3.2 innings and only gave up a single, with Keaton Winn and JT Brubaker closing it out. The Dodgers have lost three straight, the Giants have won three out of four, and the Giants’ big hitters are mostly hitting again. That’s what we call a Hollywood Echo Park ending!
ESPN: Adding injury to the insult of getting swept in Milwaukee this weekend, José Caballero hurt his finger in the series finale. “There is definitely some concern,” opined Aaron Boone Monday when asked, and the shortstop was out of the starting lineup Monday, though he pinch-ran in the ninth and got caught stealing to seal a Yankee loss. Cabby will have tests done Tuesday as he will see a hand specialist in New York City and could undergo an MRI. Everyone’s fingers will be crossed for Caballero, who’s played a solid shortstop in the first quarter of the season, while providing a little bit of pop with the bat and terrorizing opponents on the basepaths with 13 stolen bases.
MLB | Casey Drottar: The Yanks’ weekend callup of Spencer Jones has enabled him to reconnect with a former minor league teammate. Jones and Ben Rice hadn’t seen each other since spring training and Jones made a point to meet up with Rice as soon as he could. It wasn’t all motivated by friendship, however. “I told Ben this morning I’m going to be attached to his hip today,” Jones remarked, knowing he was going to take advantage of the opportunity to pick his friend’s brain on adjusting to the big leagues.
MLB | Jon Schwartz: Austin Wells has struggled at the plate so far this season after a lackluster 2025 offensively, but that has not affected his defense. Schwartz examines Wells’ routine preparing the Yankees’ pitching staff for games, while highlighting the leaps Wells has made defensively, especially considering there were questions about whether Wells would ever be good enough behind the plate to stay at the position in the majors. Meanwhile, his stature as a leader continues to evolve. “He’s very involved,” [Cam] Schlittler says. “For someone who’s young, that can really make an impact.”
X | Bryan Hoch: Led with injury news, finish with injury news. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton has been out for a while with a strained right calf. Monday, he was due to undergo some testing to see how the healing process is going. Throughout, Stanton has been able to hit, but not run. Manager Aaron Boone remarked Monday there is optimism that Big G will be able to begin running this week.

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani won’t hit in one of the final two games against the San Francisco Giants this week, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts hasn’t yet decided if that will be on Wednesday when Ohtani pitches or on Thursday for what would amount to a mental reset day for the slumping superstar.
When to give Ohtani any sort of rest has been an interesting puzzle to solve as he’s back to being a full-time two-way player for the first time since 2023. He didn’t hit in three of his first six pitching starts, including his previous two times on the mound. But he has played in all 41 games in one way or another.
“One of those days he’s not going to hit, I haven’t decided,” Roberts said Monday night. “But on top of that, given what we’re asking of him on the pitching side, it’s a fair question.”
When Shohei Ohtani last homered, on April 26 against the Chicago Cubs, he snapped a string of 59 consecutive plate appearances without a long ball, his longest power drought since joining the Dodgers. Since then, Ohtani has gone 51 plate appearances and 13 full games since, his second-longest skid with the team.
He was hitless in five at-bats with a pair of strikeouts in Monday’s loss, and since that last home run has seven hits in 43 at-bats, hitting .163/.294/.209 with seven walks and 12 strikeouts. That dropped his season line to .233/.363/.404, which is a 114 wRC+, but with an isolated power (.171) 75 points lower than any of his previous five seasons.
“Even early on [in the season] when he wasn’t hitting, he was still taking walks and getting on base,” Roberts said. “Tonight was a classic example, I think he’s just trying to swing out of it, that’s just so apparent. A lot of hitters, when their scuffling, they want to swing out of it, and tonight was one of those nights.”
In this week’s Injury Report, Tarik Skubal is aiming to return in four to six weeks. Carlos Correa undergoes season-ending ankle surgery. Ha-Seong Kim is set for his season debut on Tuesday. And Jeremy Peña is ready to embark on a rehab assignment. Let's break it all down as we run through the relevant injury news around baseball.

Tarik Skubal (elbow)
We got better news than expected following Skubal’s surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow last Wednesday. It turned out to be just one loose body. He’s aiming to return in just four to six weeks. The team keeping him on the 15-day injured list rather than the 60-day injured list seems to indicate their optimism that he can make that timeline.
The Rays own the best record in the American League.
D.J. Short
,
Nathan Eovaldi (side)
Eovaldi was scratched from his scheduled start against the Diamonbacks on Monday with left side tightness. He’s scheduled to undergo imaging, and the results will determine the next steps. Manager Skip Schumaker called Eovaldi day-to-day with the side discomfort, but we’ll likely know more about when he might be ready to take the mound in the coming days.
Kerry Carpenter (shoulder)
Carpenter was removed from Saturday’s game against the Royals with shoulder soreness after running into a wall on Bobby Witt Jr.’s inside-the-park home run. The injury will cost him some time after the team placed him on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder sprain. The 28-year-old slugger was hitting .216/.299/.451 with six homers and 17 RBI across 117 plate appearances. His absence could open more playing time for Gage Workman and Wenceel Pérez.
Jacob Wilson (shoulder)
Wilson suffered a sprained left shoulder on a diving play in the fifth inning against the Orioles on Sunday. He was removed from the game in obvious discomfort. He was scheduled to undergo imaging on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. If he requires time on the injured list, expect Darell Hernaiz to step in at shortstop for the A’s.
Addison Barger (elbow)
Barger was scratched from Sunday’s lineup after waking up with a limited range of motion in his right elbow. This came the day following an incredible 101-mph throw from right field to record an out at home plate on Saturday. The throw might’ve cost him. The team placed him on the 10-day injured list on Monday with right elbow inflammation. Barger had just been activated from the injured list after missing five weeks with an ankle sprain. Yohendrick Pinango was brought back up from Triple-A to take Barger’s place on the roster. He was 11-for-26 at the plate over ten games with Toronto before Barger returned from the ankle sprain.
Fairbanks is set to return after a minimum stay on the injured list with nerve irritation in his right thumb. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough stated he will travel with the team to Minnesota and likely be activated ahead of the series opener against the Twins on Tuesday. Fairbanks steps back in as the primary closer after Tyler Phillips, John King, and Calvin Faucher stepped in for saves in his absence.
Ha-Seong Kim (finger)
Kim will make his season debut on Tuesday after he was activated from the 10-day injured list. He missed the start of the season recovering from a torn tendon in his right middle finger. Kim suffered the injury while falling on ice in January. The 30-year-old infielder should slot in as the team’s everyday shortstop after signing a one-year, $20 million contract. Kim provides modest power with some stolen base upside in a solid lineup, great as a middle infield option in deeper roto leagues.
Jeremy Peña (hamstring)
Peña continues to make progress towards his return from a hamstring injury. He ran the bases over the weekend for the first time since landing on the injured list on April 12. It was the last hurdle he needed to clear before starting a minor league rehab assignment. He’ll likely need a week or so of at-bats before returning to the Astros lineup, hopefully by next weekend.
Carlos Correa (ankle)
Correa had helped fill the void at shortstop with Peña out until he suffered an ankle injury during batting practice last Tuesday. He underwent season-ending surgery on Monday after tearing a tendon in his left ankle. It’s a tough blow to Houston and the 31-year-old veteran infielder. He was hitting a solid .279/.369/.418 with three homers, 22 runs scored, and 16 RBI across 141 plate appearances. His absence clears the path for Isaac Paredes to entrench himself at third base for the rest of the season.
Logan Webb (knee)
Webb downplayed the knee discomfort he’s apparently been pitching through following his six-run outing against the Padres last Tuesday. He was expected to make his next start, but will instead take a two-week break as the team placed him on the 15-day injured list with right knee bursitis. It might do Webb well to take time off after posting a 5.06 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 48 innings. Trevor McDonald was recalled to take his place in the rotation. It’s not expected to be a lengthy absence for Webb. He’s already scheduled to resume throwing on Wednesday.
Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder)
Rodriguez has been on the shelf since the late stages of spring training with right shoulder inflammation. He got up to 94 pitches in his latest rehab start with Single-A Cucamonga, giving up two runs with 11 strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings. It seems he’s built up enough to join the Angels rotation at any time, but the team may want him to get a start against better competition in the upper minors. Either way, he’s an upside stash candidate in deeper leagues.
Kyle Teel (hamstring)
Teel has been brought along slowly after suffering a strained right hamstring late in spring training during the World Baseball Classic. He ran the bases with no issue over the weekend and finally got clearance to begin a minor league rehab assignment. Given how much time he’s missed, he’ll figure to need at least a week of minor league games before he’s ready to join the White Sox lineup.

As Roki Sasaki and Trevor McDonald took different paths to deliver extremely similar results—Sasaki navigating through far less traffic than McDonald—it was up to the bullpens to decide this game, and the Giants’ one proved superior on the evening, securing a 9-3 win to open up this four-game set at Dodger Stadium.
Hanging splitters and a lack of swing-and-miss action on the fastball proved costly for Sasaki. As disappointing as Sasaki might be with the loss, a second straight start allowing just three runs and pitching into the sixth at least shouldn’t be dismissed—it represents growth from where he was a couple of weeks ago. At the same time, a bitter taste is to be expected when you cough up the lead as you exit, seeing the Giants score two of their three runs against him in the sixth, an inning in which he failed to record an out.
The Giants scored a run against Sasaki in the second and sixth. In both times, Rafael Devers provided key hits, first by waiting on six straight fastballs to hit a hanging splitter over the right-field wall—later on, Devers went well outside of the zone to dump an 0-1 fastball into left field, advancing to second as the Dodgers tried to nab the baserunner at third. With two in scoring position, the subsequent single from Helliot Ramos handed the Giants a 3-2 lead. When Sasaki left the game, he was responsible for a runner at second with no outs, but Blake Treinen carried on the recent success of this somewhat depleted bullpen by keeping the score at 3-2.
It was a short-lived lead for the Giants as the Dodgers answered back in the bottom of the sixth with a home run from Max Muncy, his eleventh of the season, and one that puts him three behind Eric Karros in the all-time leaderboard for Dodger Stadium long balls at 127.
Much like Devers had been at the forefront of the damage against Sasaki, Muncy filled a similar role against McDonald. The first RBI from the Dodgers in this game came from a Muncy bases-loaded single in the fourth. Sadly, they only tacked one more in that frame, leaving the Giants ample room to take control of this game not long after.
That Muncy home run in the sixth came as he picked up on a clear trend from Trevor McDonald, who, for the most part, managed to smoke and mirrors his way through an effective outing, loading up on sinkers early on and gradually moving to more off-speed stuff in the second and third time through the orders. Keeping the Dodgers a disappointing 2 for 9 with runners in scoring position, McDonald managed to pitch five-plus frames, allowing just three runs, matching Sasaki’s numbers, and leaving the decision to the bullpen.
After each bullpen took care of their inherited runner from the starter, the Giants drew first blood. Alex Vesia’s fastball-heavy approach in the seventh didn’t work, walking in the go-ahead 4-3 run with a free pass to Devers (him again) on a 3-2 heater too high for even him to chase. Will Klein threatened to get out of it with just that run as he struck out the first hitter he faced, but Willy Adames dumped a hanging sweeper in the outfield for a two-run single, making this a 6-3 affair. And near the end, any hope that the Dodgers might’ve had of making this a close one was silenced as the Giants added three more in the ninth against Wyatt Mills.
It won’t get the same attention it otherwise would have had the result favored the Dodgers, but if you’re looking for silver linings, Teoscar Hernández’s performance on both sides of the ball provides one. Moving down in the order due to his hitting struggles, Hernández reached base thrice with a pair of hits and a walk and made two nice defensive plays.
On top of this great catch for the first out of this game, Hernández smothered a sinking liner from Casey Schmitt in the seventh that loaded the bases in front of Devers. Ultimately, all three base runners came around to score, but he gave Vesia and Klein a fighting chance in that frame. On the flip side, Shohei Ohtani’s struggles with the bat continue, finishing the game 0 for 5 with a pair of strikeouts. Mookie Betts recorded a hit in five at-bats in his first game back from the injured list.
Look around this week, and you will struggle to find such a lopsided pitching matchup as the one taking place at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start opposite Adrian Houser, who enters the game with a 0-4 record and an ERA over 6.00. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. (PT).
The Mets are desperate, obviously. They had to try something, anything to give angry fans a reason to cling to any sort of hope at Citi Field as a six-game homestand opens Tuesday night. Or, in truth, a reason not to boo from the jump.
So here come A.J. Ewing, and under ordinary circumstances David Stearns wouldn’t be calling up a 21-year old kid with all of 12 games at Triple-A under his belt. But under these circumstances it’s the right move to make, and not just because Stearns knows that fans want to run him out of town.
That is, it’s right because Ewing might just have the game to make it pay dividends.
At least that’s the opinion of scouts I’ve spoken to, before and after Monday night’s decision, via sources, to call up Ewing.
“If you’re looking for a spark, like they are, he’s got the game to bring energy,” one scout told me Monday night. “He’s got great speed. He’ll steal a base, he’ll make a diving play. He gets really good jumps in the outfield -- he’s a natural in center field.
“Whether he’ll hit major league pitching right away, that’s always the toughest thing to project. But he’s got the tools for it. His swing is short and quick to the ball, and he has a knack for fouling off pitches to keep at-bats alive until he gets a pitch he can handle. He adapted quickly to Triple-A pitching, so I wouldn’t bet against him.”
As the Mets’ fourth-round pick out of high school in Ohio in the 2023 MLB Draft, the left-handed-hitting Ewing has exceeded projections as he has excelled offensively and moved up quickly in the minors.
Last season Ewing moved up two levels as he put up numbers, finishing the season in Double A, where he hit .339 in 28 games. He began this year in Double A and was hitting .349 with a 1.051 OPS after 18 games, forcing his way to Triple-A as he began to show power in addition to his contact skills.
He was hitting everything his first week in Triple-A, and though he cooled recently, he was still hitting .326 with a .392 on-base percentage at the time of his call-up, with five stolen bases -- and never caught stealing.
In short, he profiles as an obvious leadoff hitter, and you’d have to think he’ll be in that spot on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers, which would allow Carlos Mendoza to slide Juan Soto back to the No. 2 or 3 spot, especially considering Soto has been slumping since being moved to leadoff himself.
“He’s got leadoff skills,” a second scout said of Ewing. “He gets into deep counts because he fouls off tough pitches and doesn’t chase a lot, but he’ll see a different caliber of pitching now, and that’s always the X factor, especially for someone making the jump so quickly.
“He could use more at-bats in Triple-A, where you usually see more spin, better command than you do in Double-A. So it’s not ideal, rushing him to the big leagues, but I understand why they’re doing it. He’s got a good approach, and he’s short and quick to the ball, which gives him an advantage over a lot of guys as far as having immediate success.”
Indeed, Ewing has made an impression with his ability to adapt at every level of the minors and continue to improve his offensive game.
For example, he recently made a huge jump in Baseball America’s ranking of prospects throughout the minors. He moved from No. 83 to the No. 37 overall prospect, based on the way he was tearing it up early this season.
After what Ewing did last season, the Mets were convinced he was keeper. Still, they weren’t thinking he’d be at Citi Field this soon, considering they made the gamble to trade for injury-prone Luis Robert, who is currently on the IL -- surprise, surprise.
In any case, I got a sense of just how high the Mets were on Ewing during spring training. I happened to be talking with a Mets’ person in the seats behind home plate when Ewing came to bat late in the first game of the Grapefruit League season.
The bases were loaded with one out the time and Ewing worked a long at-bat, fouling off a few pitches before hitting a fly ball to center field, deep enough to score a run with a sacrifice fly.
“I love that at-bat,” the Mets’ person said. “He’s up there grinding, just trying to put the ball in play to get the run in, like he’s in a pennant race. He plays the game that way. He’s going to be our center fielder at some point.”
The person who was speaking certainly didn’t expect it to be just a few months later, in mid-May. Nobody did. Ewing is getting a chance only because Stearns couldn’t stand by and watch the season crumble without trying something.
And logic says it’s too soon. Yet Ewing’s fast rise through the minors, with success at every level, says maybe it’s not.
But before Ryan Weathers made a case for keeping his rotation spot once Cole returns, potentially by the end of this month, Aaron Boone watched his ace’s latest rehab start Monday morning and came away impressed.
Cole built up to 77 pitches across five innings with Double-A Somerset on Sunday night while striking out eight.
“Really good,” Boone said before a 3-2 loss to the Orioles at Camden Yards. “Ripped his last heater 99 [mph] for another punch. I thought [Sunday] — working on things every time prior, and not that he wasn’t [Sunday], but I think it was a little more of a competitive Gerrit trying to get outs. I thought he threw the ball really well. Stuff was really good. Another good step for him.”

Across five rehab starts so far, Cole has shown strong command — which is often the last thing to come back for pitchers returning from Tommy John — walking only two batters while striking out 22.
“I think that’s in a pretty good place,” Boone said. “I think he probably stuff-wise ramped it up maybe even another notch [Sunday]. Hopefully now as he continues to build his pitch count, he can continue to do that through his next couple.”
Once Cole finishes off his comeback from Tommy John surgery, the Yankees could have a tough decision on their hands for how to open a rotation spot, with both Weathers and Will Warren pitching well.
Weathers took his latest shot Monday, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning before giving up two runs in 6 1/3 innings while lowering his ERA to 3.00.
“Just felt like I was competing in the strike zone really well, still had a few walks [three] which I wish I could take back,” Weathers said.
Two weeks after an MRI revealed his low-grade right calf strain, Giancarlo Stanton returned for imaging Monday to see how much healing has occurred and whether he might be cleared to start running.
The veteran DH has been limited to hitting since suffering the injury April 24 against the Astros, not able to do much in the way of jogging or running outside. But pending the results of Monday’s MRI, Stanton could begin taking the next steps in his road back to the active roster.
“Hopefully start ramping up running this week, based on that,” Boone said. “But we’ll see.”
In the meantime, Spencer Jones started a fourth straight game Monday — the second time at DH — since being called up to replace the injured Jasson Domínguez (AC joint sprain), who essentially replaced Stanton.
Jones went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being pinch hit for by Paul Goldschmidt against a lefty reliever in the seventh inning.
Ben Rice had gone 0-for-13 over the weekend in Milwaukee, his first three games back from missing four games with a left hand contusion. But he snapped back into rhythm Monday, going 2-for-4, including his 13th home run of the year. … Nine of the Yankees’ 16 losses this season have been decided by one run.

It’s another week here at BCB After Dark: the hippest hangout for night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. Come on in and sit with us for a while. We’re always open for a friendly face. There’s no cover charge. The dress code is casual. We still have a few tables available. There’s a two-drink minimum, but it’s bring your own beverage.
BCB After Dark is the place for you to talk baseball, music, movies, or anything else you need to get off your chest, as long as it is within the rules of the site. The late-nighters are encouraged to get the party started, but everyone else is invited to join in as you wake up the next morning and into the afternoon.
Last week I asked you if you would like the Cubs to trade for an injured Tarik Skubal on the hope that he would be healthy and his old dominant self by the playoffs. That idea seemed too risky for you, as 88 percent of you would rather the Cubs look elsewhere for starting pitching help. Presumably someone who was healthy at the time the deal was made.
Here’s the part where we listen to jazz and talk movies. You’re free to skip ahead if you want.
Tonight we’re featuring one of those fun Postmodern Jukebox videos. Postmodern Jukebox is the creation of pianist Scott Bradlee and here he’s joined by Gunhild Carling on vocals and trumpet and Aaron McLendon on drums.
This is ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” performed as a 1920s hot jazz number.
Dillinger was the surprise hit film of 1945 from Poverty Row studio Monogram Pictures. Directed by German exile Max Nosseck and starring a then-unknown Lawrence Tierney, Dillinger is a throwback to the gangster films of a decade earlier. The film received a Oscar-nomination for Best Screenplay for screenwriter Philip Yordan, but the script is nowhere near the best part of the film. Instead, Tierney’s cold and psychopathic portrayal of John Dillinger is what makes the film.
Monogram Pictures was one of the many, and arguably the most-successful, of the many small independent movie studios outside of the major or “Big Five” studios during the Golden Age of Hollywood. These studios specialized in churning out cheap films, often with lurid subject matter, that could turn a small profit even if they weren’t big hits. Dillinger broke out of that B-movie ghetto and became a huge hit in 1945, which led to more films from Monogram and producers the King Brothers that dealt with sensationalist themes. Its success also led to the Hays Code banning films made about real-life criminals for fear that they glamourized them.
The King Brothers never had any money to pay actors, but in this case, they wanted an unknown face, believing that the public wouldn’t accept a well-known actor as the infamous John Dillinger. They landed on Lawrence Tierney, who had only a few small credits to his name when he got the part. Tierney had spent more time in the Los Angeles County jail for fighting and being drunk and disorderly than he’d spent on-screen. But it was an inspired choice. I’m not sure what Tierney does on screen is acting so much as it is inhabiting the screen with a glowering presence. His Dillinger is a cold-blooded killer who shows no emotion when he decides to shoot one of his fellow outlaws or carve up a waiter who disrespected him years earlier with a broken beer mug. Ironically, it’s the lack of on-screen emotion that makes Tierney’s Dillinger so scary.
Tierney would go on to have a long career playing violent tough guys in crime pictures. Most of you probably remember him from his later work, which includes Reservoir Dogs (Quentin Tarantino was unsurprisingly a fan) and guest appearances on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.
The plot of Dillinger very loosely follows the career of the title gangster. He does crimes, gets arrested, breaks out, does more crimes again. He has a girlfriend Helen Rogers (Anne Jeffreys) who will become the infamous “woman in red” who betrays him. There’s a gang, and Dillinger’s relationship with the older Specs (Edmund Lowe) is a major theme of the film. Specs goes from a cellmate to a mentor to someone whom Dillinger battles for control of the gang once they get out. The always great Elisha Cook Jr. also plays one of the members of Dillinger’s gang.
Because Dillinger is about crime and came out in the heart of the noir period, some people claim that the film qualifies as a noir. But while there are some noir elements, it’s really a throwback to the gangster films of the 1930s. A man goes down a wicked path of crime and ends up paying the ultimate price is the story of The Public Enemy, Scarface, and Little Caesar. It’s a stretch to call Jeffrey’s Helen a femme fatale, even if she ends up betraying him. He pulls her into a life of crime rather than the other way around, for example. Most of the noir elements are just the way the film was shot with some of the trademark shadows and Dutch angles, but those were popular in a lot of films of the forties.
Another way that Dillinger reflects the gangster film tradition is that, in a cost-cutting move, they just re-use action scenes earlier crime pictures of the era, in particular director Fritz Lang’s 1937 film You Only Live Once. So there’s literally a different gangster film inside of this one.
Dillinger is a great example of how a low-budget film can turn a lack of money into an asset. The 70-minute runtime means that the plot has to be simple, tight and fast-moving. (That also meant that theaters could get in more showings of the film every night, bringing in even more money.) The lack of money for a big-name actor made them turn to Tierney, who is biggest reason to watch the film. Even the crime scenes that were reused from Lang were undoubtedly better than anything Nosseck could have shot.
Dillinger isn’t a great film. It’s Oscar-nomination aside, the script is more good rather than great. (Although looking at the other nominees, it’s a surprise it didn’t win.) But it’s certainly worth 70 minutes of your time just to see Tierney’s terrifying performance as John Dillinger.
Here’s the trailer for Dillinger.
Dillinger is on HBO Max, Watch TCM and there are free copies floating all over the internet as well. I believe it’s in the public domain.
Welcome back to everyone who skips the music and movies.
Last year, the Cubs built a pretty good bullpen out of castoffs. Two big pieces were Brad Keller, whom the Cubs signed on a minor league deal, and Drew Pomeranz, whom the Cubs acquired from the Mariners after he opted out of his minor league deal with the Mariners.
Both of those players went and signed free agent contracts elsewhere. This year, the potential “scrap heap to scrap iron” reliever just might be southpaw Ryan Rolison. Rolison was a first-round pick of the Rockies out of Ole Miss in 2018, which has got to be a good news/bad news thing for a college pitcher. The good news is that you’re a first-round pick. The bad news is that they’re expecting you to pitch for the Rockies.
Rolison was a top-five prospect for Colorado, as you might expect from a first-round pick. Scouts weren’t enamored with his pure stuff which graded out as more average, but he got good grades for plus command and “pitchability,” or the ability to mix up his stuff to keep hitters off balance.
But Rolison battled injuries during his time with the Rockies, which included two shoulder surgeries and a broken finger. He finally made it to the majors last year, but by that time he’d been moved to the bullpen full-time. He also didn’t pitch well in Colorado, putting up a 7.02 ERA in 42.1 innings. Even for the Rockies, that’s bad.
This winter, Rolison got stuck in waiver wire purgatory. The Rockies designated him for assignment in November and they ended up trading him to the Braves for cash. The Braves tried to sneak him through waivers in December, but the White Sox claimed him. Then, just two days before Christmas, the White Sox designated him for assignment with the Cubs claiming him in early January.
Rolison made his Cubs debut on April 14 as the Cubs bullpen was decimated with injuries. But he only pitched one inning until April 24 when he pitched three scoreless innings in that dramatic comeback win over the Dodgers.
Since then, Rolison has gotten his name called more often from manager Craig Counsell. Not only did he get the win in that Dodgers game, he improved his record to 3-0 with wins in back-to-back games against the Reds. Rolison has an ERA of 4.00 even, most of which was earned in a game against the Diamondbacks where he gave up a three-run home run to Geraldo Perdomo. Not good, but he’s not the first one to mess up against Perdomo and he won’t be the last.
But can Rolison keep it up? This article by Matthew Trueblood argues that he (probably) can. For one, Rolison has added about 1.3 miles per hour on to his fastball this year and it features a bit more vertical rise. But the more interesting point that Trueblood makes is that Rolison is uniquely qualified to take advantage of the new strike zone this year. As others have noted, the strike zone as called by ABS is slightly smaller than what had been called in previous years. In particular, there is less room at the top of the zone. Trueblood argues Rolison’s command and movement allows him to work the top of the zone better than a lot of pitchers out there.
Now maybe that’s true and maybe it isn’t. You can read the article and make up your mind for yourself. But tonight I’m asking you if you think that Rolison is going to be a critical member of the Cubs bullpen this year. I’m essentially asking a “circle of trust” question and whether or not you think he will be in or close enough to the circle of trust to stay in the Cubs bullpen all year.
I’m giving you three options to pick from. The first is that you think Rolison will pitch well enough to stay in the majors all season—or at least only make one short trip back to Iowa. The second option is that he doesn’t earn a permanent spot in the ‘pen, but that he rides the “Des Moines shuttle” between the majors and Triple-A most of the year. Rolison has an option left, so as long as the Cubs leave him on the 40-man, he can go back and forth betwen the majors and the minors.
The final option is that you don’t think Rolison will continue to pitch well and that eventually he’ll be designated for assignment. I put “injured” in with this choice as well. I don’t know how you could possibly predict that Rolison will suffer an injury that will cost him much or all of the season, but I have to admit that’s a real possibility with every pitcher. So I put it in with the DFA option because I didn’t want to put any of you on the record thinking that a Cub is going to get hurt.
Thank you for stopping in tonight. It’s always good to see you. We hope you’ve enjoyed being here as much as we’ve enjoyed hosting you. Travel home safely. Don’t forget any personal items. Recycle any cans and bottles. Tip your waitstaff. And join us again tomorrow evening for more BCB After Dark.
