- The flame-throwing righty may soon be making his Mariners debut.
Twitter spellcheck. Grrrrrrrr. Gerson Bautista in the clubhouse with a locker. Would make sense for him to take Moore’s spot tomorrow.

Around the league...
- This is pretty cool!
Was watching pro women’s baseball in Japan tonight. About 2000 fans. Ticket price $15. Two film crews to broadcast the game. Room to grow...but the league is the real deal. @gogojwbl pic.twitter.com/CMOeexcPKn

- Miguel Cabrera cannot shake his knee problems, and now it appears he has “chronic changes” to it, whatever that means.
- This is just too sad.
Doctors say this is something he'll have to deal with for rest of career. Cabrera is upbeat that he can keep playing, but "sad" that he won't be at first base. He's adamant that there will be no surgery. "Forget about that. I'm done with that." https://t.co/NnhzXupkhq
