Gustavo Campero had an out in his contract so that’s why he was added to the 40-man and placed on the IL after he was hit by a pitch and fractured his wrist while playing for Double-A Rocket City on Sunday.

Dave Roberts has seen this version of Roki Sasaki before.

“This is the guy that we saw on video in Japan and that we hoped to get,” Roberts said.

Since coming to the US, Roki Sasaki had reached 100 mph in a start just once -- in his MLB debut from Japan.

Over these last 2 starts, he's hit it 4 times.

Tonight, he threw 7 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts against the Angels. Since the start of May, he has a 2.55 ERA.

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

Turns out all Roki Sasaki needed to do in order to succeed is to completely change the way he was pitching

(I'm joking, but: that's really, really hard to do, and good on him and the coaches for making it happen)

Major league injury days lost are a fraction compared to what's going on in the minors, of course, since there are so many more minor leaguers. But some teams rise to the top however you look at the injury list data. What's going on with the Yankees, Mets, and Orioles?

[Katie Woo @katiejwoo]

Data and numbers have never been more prevalent in MLB, but for Wrobleski, the model that makes the most sense is the one he created himself. You won’t find the values on Baseball Savant or FanGraphs. This model only exists in Wrobleski’s mind — and that’s why it works.

The statistical probability of a starting pitcher giving up four runs in the first six pitches of a game is roughly 1 in 250,000 games, or 0.0004%.

[AT @BaseballWRLD_]

The NL Cy Young race this season is going to be fascinating

- Sanchez and Skenes may throw 50+ more IP than Ohtani
- Ohtani could put up a sub-1.50
- Misiorowski is striking out the world
- Sale and Burns have been insane in their own right

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

Cam Schlittler has allowed a total of 35 earned runs in his first 25 career big league games and struck out 159 batters doing it.

The only pitcher in MLB history to top both of those marks in their first 25 games is Paul Skenes.

[Jon Anderson @JonPgh]

Highest Swing Rates of all Time (dating back to 2002)

The legend Delmon Young at 68.4%!

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

There have been 1,122 pitches thrown at 100+ MPH in the big leagues this year: 584 swings, 0 home runs.

[Ballpark Pal @BallparkPal]

Bo Bichette clearly made a swing change in the offseason - increasing his bat speed (blue) by making his swing longer (red)

Time to Contact (yellow) is a bit lower, but theoretically the change should result in more power

[Jack Harris @ByJackHarris]

Freddie Freeman said Andy Pages’ nine-pitch at-bat in the ninth against Mason Miller was “one of the greatest at-bats I’ve ever seen in person”

He used the word “incredible” at least half a dozen times

[Sam Fosberg @discussbaseball]

As of today, Brice Turang is the BEST breaking ball hitter in MLB. He’s seen 75 curveballs in ‘26, and is batting .556 with a .889 SLG against them…currently 11th in hitter fWAR.

[Jacob Calvin Meyer @jcalvinmeyer]

634 teams in MLB history have lost 29 of their first 50 games.

Only 54 of them (8.5%) have finished above .500.

Only 13 of them (2%) have made the playoffs.
