It’s Friday the 13th!
Good morning folks and happy Friday! Mariners baseball is back with a big road trip starting tonight. Let’s hope they can turn things around here. Anyway, onto the links.
In Mariners news…
- Zach DeLoach got a profile in yesterday’s Fangraphs prospect notes.
- Jerry Dipoto provided some injury updates on guys like Mitch Haniger and Kyle Lewis during his latest appearance on 710 ESPN.
- The Mariners re-acquired first baseman Mike Ford from the Giants. Ford was DFA’d to make room for Donovan Walton.
- Benjamin Hoffman at The New York Times wrote a profile on Julio Rodríguez: speedster.
Around the league…
- The Padres are reportedly closing in on a deal with Robinson Canó.
- The Angels are already calling up their 11th rounder from last year, making him the first player from last year’s draft class to debut in the majors.
RHP Chase Silseth will make his major league debut as the Angels starter on Friday.
Silseth was the #Angels 11th-round pick last June. He has a 1.73 ERA at AA this season, with 37 Ks, 7 BBs in 26 IP. https://t.co/bilxTEyyLE

One of the most ridiculous double plays you will see

- A former White Sox team trainer is suing the team under allegations that they fired him because he is gay.
- Jeremy Peña was removed from yesterday’s game for the Astros with what appeared to be a knee injury.

- Well, now the Phillies will be without their best player for a while.
Girardi said the Phillies had another test done on Harper last week that showed a small tear in his UCL. They had him visit Dr. ElAttrache this morning, who confirmed that it is a small tear. He’ll be a no throw for four weeks; they hope he’ll start a throwing program after that

- Or uh, perhaps not.
Bryce Harper just crushed a frozen rope into the pavillion. Left his bat at 110 mph.
1-0 Phillies.

Anders’ picks…
- This is tremendously creative and filled with funny references. I’m just gonna pretend I don’t see the “2001 Mariners” headstone in the top right corner during the Seahawks scene.
Should we REALLY make our schedule release video an anime?
