HITTING: Elly De La Cruz is breaking baseball – what will he cost in waivers this weekend? Luis Arraez is 6th in OPS… with one homer. Yankees placed OF Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 4, with a right big toe sprain. Yordan Alvarez (oblique) to the IL – yet again. Pete Alonso (wrist) will require a trip to the injured list. Eloy Jiménez is day-to-day with a lower left leg injury. How good has Corbin Carroll been? Joey Wiemer is doing some things. Francisco Alvarez is blasting away for the Mets. So is Gary Sanchez for SD.
PITCHING: Alek Manoah was demoted – chance of a rebound in 2023? Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Dustin May (forearm) is still weeks away from starting a throwing program. Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) will undergo an MRI on Friday following his recent setback. Reds manager David Bell told reporters that Hunter Greene (hip) is on track to start on Sunday against the Cardinals (last start skipped). Finally, how amazing has Felix Bautista been? José Alvarado (elbow) will return on Friday. COL bullpen in flux – Johnson out, Lawrence/Bird/Bard in?
