Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday! What’s happening in baseball? I’m glad you asked.
In Mariners news...
- Jeff Passan did his 710 ESPN radio spot yesterday, in which he expressed concern for the Mariners if Julio isn’t able to get right. I will say that personally, I am not very concerned about Julio (if anything I’m more concerned about him being able to stay healthy) so I think the Mariners will be just fine.
- Bryce Miller found himself in rarefied air with yesterday’s outing.
MLB pitchers with 10+ Ks and no walks in debut:

If Bryce Miller can pitch the way he TikToks the 2023 Mariners are saved. Or doomed. Or both? pic.twitter.com/p4JdUCxCUX

- One of the top young M’s prospects will be back in action soon, thankfully.
Mariners No. 4 prospect Gabriel Gonzalez has been out since April 22 with a "minor arm issue", per club officials. He is on track to return as a DH this week and be back in the outfield as soon as next week.

Around the league...
- Rockies right-hander Germán Márquez, long the subject of trade speculation around the league, will undergo Tommy John surgery.
- Yankees right-hander Lou Trivino will miss the rest of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
- In other bad news for Yanks arms, Carlos Rodón continues to stall out in his rehab from a back issue.
- Pitching prospect week continues around baseball as the Diamondbacks are calling up their top young arm Brandon Pfaadt to make his MLB debut today.
- I think the White Sox are officially in panic mode. Billy Hamilton was hitting .188 in Triple-A.
