In Mariners news:
- In case you missed yesterday’s game thanks to the gorgeous Seattle weather, Julio Rodríguez took a big first step in busting out of his slump, going 3-for-5 at the plate with a two-run shot as a nightcap.

Penn Murfee is in Az set to throw a live BP then get in games there. If all goes well could join the team on this trip.

Around the league:
- Highly-touted Marlins pitching prospect Eury Pérez debuted yesterday, and performed admirably, allowing two runs (both on solo shots) over 4.2 innings, walking two and striking out seven in the process. He is also the first MLB player to be born in 2003, in case you wanted to crumble into dust today.

- Old friend James Paxton also made his season debut for the Red Sox, his first big league action since his 1.1 inning outing with the M’s at the start of 2021. Despite Boston falling 8-6 to the Cardinals, Paxton went five innings, allowing just two runs and striking out nine. We still love you, James!

- Rays righty Drew Rasmussen has been transferred to the 60-day injured list after being diagnosed with a flexor strain, which will keep him out of action for at least the next two months.
- I see things continue to go swimmingly in the South Side.
White Sox were gearing up for a meeting as clubhouse closed today. Pedro Grifol, as could be expected, didn’t share details of it, but was asked why the meeting was held.

Connor’s picks:
- Tears of the Kingdom released yesterday to thunderous fanfare, but one Twitter user decided to use the moment to make us all feel old.
