An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

News: Trey Yesavage will be in the #BlueJays’ bullpen tonight.

Kevin Gausman will throw a “modified bullpen” today and it would have to be a “very unique” spot for him to pitch in relief, but Yesavage is likelier.

Indeed, Tigers-Mariners will be on FS2 as well as MLB Network.

Jason Beck @jasonbeck.bsky.social · 1d

This rain delay might be a good time to locate FS2 on your cable or streaming service just in case. Just saying.

After dealing with an early torn ligament in his left thumb, Cam Collier hit .337/.425/.452 in his final 27 games with Double-A Chattanooga. The Reds prospect has carried that momentum to the Arizona Fall League as he showed in last night's opener.
