Greetings everyone! It’s been a little bit since I last covered these links. It’s good to be back. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and have a pleasant week coming up! Here are some links to get that week started off on the right foot.
In Mariners news...

Around the league...

- Well, this is bad news for the Astros.
Jose Altuve was just drilled in the back of the left arm (above the elbow) by a Mike Morin pitch and left the game for a pinch runner in the 7th inning. He was 1-for-3.
