Today, we will pay attention to three things in the baseball world throughout the day:
1. Pérez on the warm stripes:
The Marlins suffered their first series in a month when they lost two of their three games against the Astros this week, even though they avoided the sweep with a win yesterday. They will send the best starting pitchers to the mound today, hoping to start a new series win. Most want Sandy Alcantara or Edward Cabrera When thinking about Miami rotation, but it’s a 22-year-old right-hander Eury Pérez They look more and more like fish staff. The towering 6’8-inch right is seen as the highest pitching prospect in baseball games before its debut in 2023, and he took his place after he disappeared in 2024 thanks to Tommy John’s surgery. Pérez roared with an average running rate of 2.70, strikeout rate of 26% and a 9.2% walking rate in 50 innings.
This is impressive in itself, but when he returns to the league it includes some short and unwavering performances. Perez has been unable to reach the last six rounds. He threw 34 innings and 15 hits and 8 walks, struck out with 37 strikeouts, putting his opponent into four runs (1.06 ERA). Perez stands out with the lost underperforming Warriors Austin Riley and Ronald Akunia Jr. Arrived on the list of injuries in the past ten days. Today’s victory will bring Miami back to .500, but the Marlins are still chasing six.
2. Red Man Pushing Wildcards:
The Reds took a step forward on the NL wildcard this week when they took three from the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Chicago is the highest wildcard team, but the series win coincides with four games in Queens, which puts Cincinnati just behind the Mets’ three games into the game. New York closed today, meaning there is no dispute as the Reds move towards their potential position in the playoffs. But to take advantage of this opportunity, they need to knock down the Pirates in the game started by the Superstars Paul Skynis. Righty has 2.02 ERA and 2.41 FIP in this year’s 138 bureau work.
Despite being the leader of the NL Cy Young Award, Skenes entered a tough start to Coors Field today, surrendering four times in five innings against the Rockies. The Red Army General Brady Singerhe has 4.36 ERA in 22 games, but he has hit 18 batsmen in a round of 13 1/3 innings in the back-to-back gems against Tampa Bay and Atlanta.
3. Ensenachi receives MRI:
Sounds like Jer EnsnatchionBad luck. Giants manager Bob Melvin told reporters (including Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle) that the defeated outfielder would have missed a while after being injured in yesterday’s game. He plans to have an MRI today to determine the severity of the problem. Encarnacion has played only ten games this year, due to hand fractures, tilting pressure and now hamstring problems. The 27-year-old returned to the Grand Slam in 2024 after signing with the Giants and standing out in Triple-A after demolishing the Mexican League pitching. Since arriving at Bigs late last year, he has played seven home runs in 149 set appearances, although a lack of walking (3.4%) and a large number of strikeouts (27.5%) have put his overall total of .231/.255/.420 slashes.
