Shannon Drayer sheds a positive light on how the Mariners have been able to continue playing despite MLB’s unusual 2020 season.

Around The League...

A handful of roster moves for the Rangers as they start their series against Oakland this week.

Roster moves for the Rangers:
- Robinson Chirinos activated from IL
- Leody Taveras recalled from alt site
- Jesse Chavez placed on IL
- Rob Refsnyder DFAd

Losing Refsnyder to add Taveras would appear to be a pretty big signal that the Rangers are focusing on youth for now.

You just love to see it.

The Astros team buses got quite the send-off after getting swept in San Diego.

The Astros have been forced to reschedule their upcoming home games vs. the Angels as tropical storms approach.
The Yankees are left having to fill holes in the pitching rotation and at SS after placing Gleybor Torres and James Paxton on the 10-day IL.
