Shohei Ohtani has now gone 3 straight starts without giving up a hit in the first 3 innings.
He's also gone 9 straight innings (and counting) without giving up a hit.
Important couple of weeks for Edwin Arroyo. If he can prove he belongs, you'd have to think it's Matt McLain that'll be headed back down to Triple A Louisville when Elly De La Cruz returns.
Kyle Tucker, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Ronald Acuna Jr., & Fernando Tatis Jr. :
875 PA - 9 HR
Casey Schmitt, Miguel Vargas, Liam Hicks, Dillon Dingler:
839 PA - 45 HR
Brennen Davis has been out of the line-up 2 days in a row for Triple A Tacoma. Went and checked, looks like he pulled his hamstring his last AB on Friday. He couldn't even make it half way up the line.
A career plagued by injuries continues onward. No word on severity.
Go get Edwin Arroyo in your leagues. Elly De La Cruz appears to have suffered a leg injury and it would be surprising if it wasn't serious enough to require an IL stint based on how he was hopping around on one leg.
After the Guardians decided to overpay for one of the worst offensive catchers in baseball, it's important to note that Cooper Ingle is playing LF for the first time in the minors today.
He also homered his first AB.
The Cardinals very much did not expect to compete this season. And they very well may not, but right now, they are.
Continuing to run out Nolan Gorman is actively hurting any small chance they have at keeping this going.
Do the right thing and call up Blaze Jordan now.
Jacob Gonzalez, who was 3 for 4 tonight with his minor league lead tying 19th HR, was promptly removed from the game after Murakami's injury.
Should Murakami need to go on the IL, there's now little doubt it'll be Gonzalez getting his first MLB promotion.

@RotoGinger Keep reading, he's an honorable mention.
Answer is simple - Swing and miss. I'd still have him as a Top 150 overall prospect, so I think highly of him, but needs to get the whiff under control.
@IrwinEmFletcher with these rankings. A lot of them are so close in value and all of them of the potential to be excellent big leaguers, Culpepper included.
@IrwinEmFletcher I wouldn't say I'm that low on him to be honest, I'm just higher on the others than him. All of these guys would basically be inside my Top 100 overall. It's an insane bunch.
Compared to the others ahead of him, little lower on the hit tool.
You're splitting hairs (cont'd)
