Check out the Baseball Prospectus write-ups on Jarred Kelenic (link) and Logan Gilbert (link) prior to their debuts. ($)
Brendan Gawlowski at Fangraphs also gave his thoughts on the dual call-up.
Some updates on a couple of M’s arms.

Dipoto said expectation for Marco Gonzales is he's a week from getting on a mound.
Also, Andres Munoz, who had a setback this spring, restarting his throwing progression.
Maybe we see him August/September.

Very surprising but not unwelcome news from the farm.

Dipoto said that more than 90 percent of the minor league system is vaccinated.

Around the league...

Albert Pujols is officially a free agent.

Albert Pujols has cleared waivers, a source tells @TheAthletic. Free to sign with any club, with the Angels obligated to pay the rest of his $30M salary, minus the pro-rated portion of the league minimum.
