MLB: Oakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners

In Mariners News...

Kendall Graveman announced he has a bone tumor in part of his spine, but plans to still continue pitching.

The tumor is benign and can't grow anymore or get any worse with pitching. There is a surgical procedure. But it's something that he won't have until down the road.

Tom Murphy is reportedly progressing at a slow pace and not likely to return soon.

Doesn't sound like Tom Murphy is getting close to a return. Progressing slowly with the broken bone in his foot. Catching is what bothers it the most but according to Servais, the Mariners have not talked about returning him to DH only.

So wholesome.

Kyle and Corey Seager played against each other for the first time tonight. Both went yard, and had to hold back smiles while their brother rounded the bases pic.twitter.com/AWHkmnxWqr

Around The League...

MLB is not planning on allowing fans into stadiums in the near future, despite clubs actively pushing for limited capacity.

Commissioner Rob Manfred addressed this topic in his weekly call with owners today. The Rockies and Rangers, in particular, have been pushing to open their parks to limited capacities, sources say. https://t.co/vnJeG6OflG

Hey, remember this guy?

Brad Miller had the game-winning two-run double in Game 1, and has two homers in Game 2.

This is his first time playing at Wrigley Field.#stlcards #Cubs https://t.co/besf7dVS93

Such a great idea!

Jackie Robinson Ballpark, May 22nd. @daytonatortugas hosted the first event open to fans during the pandemic, with a screening of “42” from the field. One of the greatest experiences of my life. https://t.co/yj8fzLl9sh pic.twitter.com/mTHtqa5SHj

Tigers prospects Isaac Parades, Casey Mize, and Tarik Skubal have all been called up to the big leagues, with Skubal set to start on Tuesday and Mize slated for Wednesday.

Becca’s Picks...

Nathan Hale graduate Michael Porter Jr. is quickly making a name for himself in the NBA.

MPJ's pull-up jumper is too smooth.
