- Erasmo Ramirez could find his way back in the rotation very soon.
Mariners haven’t announced Sunday starter in place of Felix yet. My guess would be Erasmo Ramirez, but we won’t hear anything until tomorrow likely.

- First base and center field is such an unlikely combo.
Tonight, Cody Bellinger will become the second player in 35 years to start 30 games at center field and first base in the same season. Nick Swisher is the other.
