Optioned a little over two weeks ago, Tobias Myers is back with the big league Mets and will pitch the first couple innings of today’s game before David Peterson and/or the bullpen take the bulk of the work.
Much like you probably are, Francisco Lindor is thinking about the Knicks and finding inspiration.
Around the National League East
The Marlins nearly sent Paul Skenes’ ERA up to 3.00 as they left Pittsburgh with a 4-2 win and extended Max Meyer’s season-long winning streak to 15 starts.
Miles Mikolas pitched seven shutout innings and eight different Nationals scored runs in their 10-1 battering of the Mariners.
Doing what they can to help Jacob Misiorowski’s Cy Young case between starts, the Brewers scored four runs off Cristopher Sanchez and handed the Phillies a 4-0 loss.
Continuing their chain of having baseball’s best young hitter, the Nationals have had 14 years of Bryce Harper, then Juan Soto, and now James Wood.
Around Major League Baseball
John Schneider is not a fan of Jose Caballero’s pesky, but legal, way of messing around within the confines of the pitch clock.
In the Nationals’ beatdown, Josh Naylor and Andres Munoz both left the game, but the Mariners aren’t overly concerned about the health of either one.
Following his historic performance over the weekend, the Brewers are going to give Jacob Misiorowksi a pre-planned extra day off before his next start.
Two months after giving him a $50M extension, the Brewers are calling up prospect Cooper Pratt to make his major league debut.
The Colorado Rockies, having spent over a decade playing their home games at Coors Field before a humidor was used, set their franchise record for runs in a game with 23 in Las Vegas.
In one of two blows to American League Central stars and their hands, Vinnie Pasquantino was placed on the injured list and underwent surgery for a fractured hamate bone.
As for the second blow, the Guardians placed Jose Ramirez on the injured list with the same ailment and will have to rely on someone, anyone to step up in his place.
