MLB: Washington Nationals at New York Mets

Good morning everyone! Happy Monday. We’ve got some links to get your day started.

In Mariners news...

We’ve got some injury updates.

Mitch Haniger to head out on a rehab assignment and he's taking Braden Bishop with him. First stop, Modesto. Felix will pitch at Everett next week, not sure what day yet.

Vlad might be disappointing this year by some measures, but by others, he’s elite.

That’s a 118.7 mph single for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

It’s his 8th batted ball with a 115+ mph exit velocity this season.

Nobody else has more than 4 of those.

All’s fun and games with the Mets these days.

Wilson Ramos said he has not found out who planted these balloons by his locker.

"I’m really pissed with that," he said, probably joking. "But it’s OK. ... I’m not 50." https://t.co/tAg1Tk4bp1

You may have forgotten about her after the Olympics, but she’s still dominating.

.@Simone_Biles is the first woman in nearly 70 YEARS to win 6 U.S. all-around titles.
