After catching up with the news late last night, there are some things we will pay attention to around today’s baseball.
1. Justin Martinez, Christian Montes de oca
The Diamondbacks were forced to pull out two outs and four straight outs in the ninth inning on Monday Justin Martinezas the curvy right-handed bent (according to Alex Weiner of AZ Sports) is tight. The D-Backs will continue to win the game with a Walking Grand Slam in the 11th, but they have not left the woods. The term “elbow tight” is always horrible, especially for a 23-year-old who had already undergone surgery for Tommy John in his career. Martinez’s performance this year is not as good as his breakthrough in the 2024 season, with walking and home runs rising from 2.48 to 4.11. Nevertheless, losing the right time will be a tough blow for any loss of time, ranking 27th for the bullpen and 27th among teams expected to perform poorly this season. Arizona should learn more about Martinez’s status after imaging today, but as Weiner notes, the team’s attention is high.
Worse, Weiner reports that Martinez’s right-handed rescuer is also highly concerned Christian Montes de Oka. The 25-year-old made his MLB debut on the weekend, giving the Reds a 2 2/3 point-free game. Last night, he couldn’t get it due to discomfort in his right elbow (Per Weiner) and he will also go to take an image today.
2. Giancarlo Stanton begins rehabilitation mission:
Yankees sl Giancarlo Stanton He’s been out of the entire season with both elbow injuries, but he’ll be a big step back tonight. The 35-year-old plans to join Double-A Somerset Patriots in his first rehabilitation race, the team confirmed this morning. Although injuries bother Stanton for most of his time with the Yankees, he continues to produce while he is healthy. In 2024, he hit 27 home runs in just 114 games and drove in 72 games, shooting .773 and 116 WRC+. He also added seven more home runs and 1.048 OPS in the playoffs, helping the Yankees make their first World Series tournament since 2009. So New York will definitely be happy to get it back when it’s ready, but the manager, but the manager Aaron Boone Will lay off his job for him and figure out how to insert Stanton into the roster. At this point in his career, Stanton only had DH, but the Yankees already had regular DH Benreis. They have Paul Goldschmidt Pictures at first base and crowded outfield, including Judge Aaron,,,,, Cody Bellinger,,,,, Trent Grishamand Jasson Domínguez. Ultimately, having too many good batsmen is a question every manager dreams about, but it’s worth seeing how Boone divides the game time once Stanton returns.
3. Former Cy Young Award winner’s bullpen meeting:
Max Shezer and Blake Snell There are some commonalities. They are the only active pitchers to win CY Young in both leagues. They both spent most of the season after signing a free agent contract with the new team in the winter. Today, both of them are expected to hold a bullpen meeting as they work hard to return. Snell is currently at the Dodgers in San Diego and the weekend’s “Touch and Touch” meeting, with a proper bullpen today (according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register). Similarly, Mitch Bannon of Sports Report said Scherzer will also hold a bullpen meeting today, and if all goes well, he may be able to rejoin the Blue Jays after only one-on-three A rehabilitation begins. Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith suggested Scherzer’s bullpen meeting might be tomorrow, but either way, Scherzer is on the rise to heal on Friday. Both Toronto and Los Angeles are working hard to complete a five-man spin this year due to injuries. Needless to say, Scherzer and Snell’s returns have a big impact on both clubs.
