PHILADELPHIA -- Throughout the process of learning right guard last season, Cam Jurgens had the benefit of shadowing Isaac Seumalo as he was getting accustomed to a new position. The Philadelphia Eagles had Jason Kelce at center, so Jurgens took right guard reps in training camp in order for more position versatility.

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!. I'm not saying you should skip work and sit in front of your TV all week, but you might want to because we're actually getting some real football. Starting Tuesday, mandatory minicamp will be kicking off for a total of nine different teams, which is notable because minicamp is the only set of practices during the entire offseason that every player on the roster is required to attend. (You can see the full minicamp schedule here.)

Patrick Queen isn't sure what his future is with the Baltimore Ravens -- and that's fine with him. The Ravens declined the fifth-year option for Queen this offseason, leaving the former first-round pick without a contract after this year. That's just fine with Queen. His future in Baltimore isn't a...

Cincinnati, OH

The Reds placed Friedl on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained left hamstring, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Friedl hasn't played since being removed from Tuesday's game against Boston. He's already begun doing field work alongside a bit of running, so he shouldn't require much more than a minimum stint on the IL, but that still means Friedl will be held out for another week or so. The 27-year-old outfielder is currently slashing .326/.377/.496 with 20 RBI through 158 plate appearances.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Lands on injured list

Herget was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday. Herget holds a 4.79 ERA over 12 relief appearances for the Reds this season, although that high ERA is largely the result of one particularly bad outing. He's clearing out to make room for Andrew Abbott on the roster.

Taylor Swift confuses young fan by inviting her up on stage from the audience then reversing this as she realized there was no safe way to get the child back off the stage. In a recent concert stop in Chicago on her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift found herself in a heartwarming yet challenging situation during her performance. While Swift is known for her fan engagement and surprise on-stage moments, this particular encounter took an unexpected turn. As she performed her hit song "22," Swift spotted a young fan and attempted to involve her in the show, only to realize there was no safe way to get the child back off the stage.

Wainwright didn't factor in the decision against Texas on Monday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings. This was by no means a virtuoso performance for the veteran, but he rebounded from a three-run second frame to give the Cardinals decent length and allow them to stay competitive. Wainwright needed 106 pitches to get through 5.1 innings, though he retired eight of the final 10 batters he faced to go out on a good note. The right-hander missed over the first month of the campaign due to a groin injury and hasn't quite found his footing since returning May 6, posting a 5.97 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB through 31.2 innings.

Walker isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against Atlanta. Having recorded a base hit in six of his last seven games, Walker will get a breather Saturday. Emmanuel Rivera will start at first base instead and bat fifth.

A local 30-year-old landed behind bars last week after a plan to allegedly pocket $800 from a woman went wrong just minutes later. The suspect, James Turner, reportedly was either unaware, or had forgotten, that CashApp transactions can't be erased.

Denver, CO

Porter supplied five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and six rebounds over 26 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Although Porter was one of the heroes in Denver's Game 1 win, he was unable to get many shots to fall Sunday. Porter's five points matched his second-worst scoring total of the season, and although Nikola Jokic posted a huge 41-point total to pick up the slack, the Porter's production was sorely missed.

Seattle, WA

Crawford suffered a knee injury in the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to the Rangers but he plans to play against Texas on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Crawford suffered the knee injury while making a dive into second base and colliding with Leody Taveras. While Crawford was able to stay in the game, it was clear the shortstop was dealing with soreness. If the pain doesn't subside, he may sit out a game, but for now Crawford should be considered likely to be in the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Rangers.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said after Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Giants that Henderson (back) was removed as a precaution, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. "He'll be fine," Hyde said of Henderson, who is considered day-to-day with lower-back discomfort. While Hyde believes that Henderson will be OK, the...

The Reds selected Abbott's contract from Triple-A Louisville ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Brewers. Abbott is slated to make his major-league debut Monday and will line up for a two-start week, with Cincinnati already confirming him to make his next turn through the rotation Saturday in St. Louis. The left-hander leads the minor leagues with 90 strikeouts thus far in 2023 to go along with a 2.50 ERA and 0.93 WHIP along the way across 54 innings between Double-A Pensacola and Louisville. Abbott's first matchup is a good one, as the Brewers rank last in baseball as a team with a .281 wOBA versus lefties.

Reds' Andrew Abbott: Added to roster ahead of debut

Gorman is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. With left-hander Martin Perez taking the ball for the Rangers, Gorman will receive a day of rest. Brendan Donovan is at second base and Luken Baker is in the designated hitter spot.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Not in Monday's lineup

Raleigh is out of the lineup Saturday against the Rangers. Tom Murphy will catch and bat seventh versus the Rangers and left-hander Andrew Heaney as Raleigh grabs a bit of rest on the Mariners' bench.

Miami, FL

The Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets will square off in Game 3 of the 2023 NBA Finals on Wednesday night as the series shifts to Miami. The Heat evened up the series after outlasting the Denver Nuggets in a 111-108 win in Game 2 on Sunday. The Nuggets led for most of the game, but the Heat used a 36-25 fourth quarter to come away with a win and head back to Miami with some momentum.

Armstrong (neck) was activated off the 60-day injured list Saturday. A neck injury has kept Armstrong out all season, but he could be a key piece of the Rays' bullpen the rest of the way. After being released by the Marlins last May and returning to Tampa Bay, he recorded a 3.60 ERA backed by a 26.0 percent strikeout rate and 6.0 percent walk rate the rest of the way, earning a pair of saves. Jose La Sorsa was designated for assignment to create space on the 40-man roster.

The Aurora City Council will consider during a study session Monday restricting RVs to parking only 24 hours on a public-street in a seven-day period. “Currently Aurora allows a recreational vehicle to park on a public right-of-way for up to five days,” according to a memo from the City Attorney’s Office to the council. “This ordinance reduces the five days to twenty-four hours during any seven day period to be as strict as Denver’s ordinances.” RVs and campers in violation of the ordinance will be towed and impounded.

Raley (side) will not start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Boston, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports. Raley was scratched from the lineup for the afternoon game due to side soreness, and while initial reports indicated that he'd be available for the nightcap, he won't be involved from the start. Instead, Randy Arozarena will rest his legs in the designated hitter spot while Harold Ramirez starts in left field.
