Good morning all! With the Mariners on something of a winning streak, here’s what’s going on in baseball.
In Mariners news...
- As John pointed out on Twitter, Ty France has a history of playing through wrist injuries and playing much worse as a result. I hope the Mariners make the right choice and just IL him until he’s healthy. I mean, Mike Ford is right there.
Initial X-rays on Ty France’s left wrist came back negative, but Scott Servais said there is a contusion and a lot of swelling in the area, putting doubt on the first baseman being in tomorrow’s lineup. As for a possible IL stint, the Mariners will assess it day to day.

Around the league...
- The Brewers have agreed to a major league deal with right-hander Julio Teheran.
- The Oakland A’s and Nevada lawmakers have agreed to a tentative deal over funding for a new baseball stadium in Las Vegas. The organization has now cleared a major hurdle that was many thought would stop the deal in its infancy.
- The A’s continue to set records with their poor play.
