Hello folks and happy Friday! We’ve hit the final off-day of the 2022 season as the series returns to Houston. Let’s catch you up on what’s happening around baseball.
In the World Series...
- The Astros won in a nail-biter in Game 5, pulling off a 3-2 victory to take a 3-2 series advantage. A win on either Saturday or Sunday will give the Astros their second-ever World Series title.
In Mariners news...
- The Mariners snuck Drew Ellis through waivers. The Mariners outrighted him as a way to clear space on the 40-man, likely for a prospect who needs protecting from the Rule 5 Draft.
Roster move: INF Drew Ellis cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma.
