This Machado interview is wild (start around the 7 minute mark). He’s in the “analytics” is ruining baseball camp and it sounds like he refuses to adapt.

-“It’s definitely getting harder to play, it’s definitely getting more strategic…I just wish we could get analytics out of the game.”

-All these new stats and metrics are pointless (he doesn’t know what any of them mean)

-He just wants to “see ball, hit ball”

Machado is currently hitting .174 with a .619 OPS on the season…

Briggs McKenzie - How about the 8th strikeout of the day through 5 with only 1 hit and 1 walk allowed.

The Yankees have announced that Aaron Judge has a stress fracture. He will be reimaged in approximately 4-6 weeks. The team does expect him to return this season.

Eight hours before first pitch Austin Riley and Dylan Lee took some time to hang out and provide lunch to service members at Dobbins Air Reserve Base. #BravesCountry #mlb

[Charlie Goldsmith @CharlieG__]

The Reds have called up Noelvi Marte and optioned TJ Friedl to Triple-A.

With Spencer Steer able to play second base, the Reds have the ability to shuffle pieces around to get Marte into the lineup, and Marte has also been playing plenty of center field.

It's been a tough year for Friedl, and he hasn't been playing much recently.

Eric Hartman is one of the biggest breakout prospects in the Minors this year ... and he almost wasn't drafted.

Here's the story of how the @Braves landed the 19-year-old outfielder: https://t.co/3HtxYOlCCa

Some classic Chevy Chase lines from Fletch, which is 41 today.
Under the laughs, it’s a tight, well-built detective story: drug trafficking, murder-for-hire, and a film-noir backbone; just brighter, with punchy one-liners.
Might rent it tonight. I’ll charge it to the Underhills.

[Scott Coleman @scottcoleman55]

Alex Anthopoulos just said Hurston Waldrep is starting a rehab assignment on Monday. Throwing 96-99

[James Fegan @JRFegan]

Grade 2 hamstring strain for Murakami, 4-6 weeks

[Chad Bishop @MrChadBishop]

On Jorge Mateo starting at shortstop tonight in Cincinnati, Braves manager Walt Weiss said the shortstop position will be “day-to-day” re: who plays between Mateo, Ha-Seong Kim and Mauricio Dubón

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

Cristopher Sánchez of the @Phillies is the only MLB pitcher in the modern era with 40+ strikeouts and no runs allowed in a calendar month.

[Maury Brown @BizballMaury]

Entering game #56, the Mariners are struggling mightily against LHP.

[Ryan McGee @ESPNMcGee]

RIP Bob Horner, college baseball legend and forever captain of the all-time MLB All-Stars Who Looked Like Church Softball Ringers team.

[Chandler Rome @Chandler_Rome]

Hunter Brown's first minor-league rehab start is over. He struck out five of the seven batters he faced, allowed a single and threw 21 of his 35 pitches for strikes.

Update on Yordan Alvarez:

Alvarez left Saturday's game against the Cubs here in Chicago in the sixth inning with a back spasm.

[Grant McAuley @grantmcauley]

#Braves Spencer Schwellenbach told me he started throwing 5 days ago – flat ground at 60 ft. every other day. He'll throw at that distance for 2 weeks then 2 weeks at 75 ft. before hopefully getting on the mound.

He feels really good and is very encouraged by the early sessions.
