Blue Jays: Yohendrick Piñango is once again the odd man out when Addison Barger returns https://t.co/ABevrv3yhg

Guardians prospect Matt Wilkinson struck out 6 over 5 perfect innings today for Double-A Akron. Tugboat now has a 1.35 ERA and 17 Ks through three starts.

The Canadian's outing set the RubberDucks on the path to a combined no-hitter vs. Binghamton.

🗣️ BASEBALL WEATHER!!!!

(yes, we still plan on playing today we are from Maine so we don't scare easy)

In nearly the exact same spot of the field this one’s good in 30/30.

10 degrees less of a launch angle, 67 more feet.

VLADDY HAS HIS FIRST #PLAKATA OF THE SEASON ��

This is a HR in 7/30 parks, doesn’t include Rogers Centre.

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

Vladdy was THIS CLOSE to his first home run of the season 😭

[Milwaukee Brewers @Brewers]

Bobby Jr. is fitting in just fine 🐢

[Zac Phillips @Zphil29]

A 2-out bunt with the tying run at 3rd not breaking is a deliberate attempt to get the catcher fresh off the bench after 10 innings to make a play.

Sure, you can nitpick the execution on both ends — but it was smart for the White Sox to test Heineman.

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

Surreal moment.

[Miami Marlins @Marlins]

Not a bad start, eh?

[MLB @MLB]

WILD, BUT TRUE 🤯

Nolan McLean hit more homers (36) in college than Carson Benge (25). While Benge had more pitching strikeouts (79) than McLean (76).

McLean takes the mound today for New York with Benge in RF!

MLB’s top prospect Konnor Griffin made ESPN’s ‘You Got Mossed!’ segment in 2021 when he was 15 with this spectacular grab over multiple defenders during a junior high school football game.

Blue Jays intend to promote 2024 first-round pick Trey Yesavage to majors, industry sources tell @bnicholsonsmith and me. Expected to be active by Monday. He’d been slated to pitch for Bisons on Sunday.

[Zac Phillips @Zphil29]

Eugenio Suárez and Nick Kurtz’s 4-homer games from earlier this season are not included in the article but neither had the opportunity.

[Zac Phillips @Zphil29]

Kyle Schwarber is just the 4th player in MLB history to come back to the plate with a chance to hit 5 homers in the same game.

(There have now been 6 of those PAs)

He popped up pitch No. 2 from a position player for an infield fly out. So close.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays have reached agreement on a $500-million, 14-yr extension that’s pending a physical, according to an industry source.

There is no deferred money in the looming deal, making it the second richest contract in terms of present value in MLB.
