Hello and happy Saturday! Let’s hope the M’s can keep rolling along this evening against the Angels. Until then, here’s the latest from the world of baseball.
In Mariners news...
- Well, Ty France will be out for at least the next week or so. Damn it.
Ty France says he has a Grade 2 flexor strain in his forearm/elbow area and is headed to the 10-day injured list. But he’s optimistic that with rest and treatment, he won’t be out for an extended period.

Around the league...
- Lookout Landing alum Amanda Lane wrote about the first-ever female umpire in MLB, who called her first game exactly 50 years ago.
- Aaron Judge declined a $19 million arbitration settlement offer from the Yankees and seeks to take his case to arbitration. Judge is set to be a free agent at the end of this season and his relationship with the Yankees is doubtless being strained by this negotiation.
- Former No. 1 overall pick Mark Appel will finally make his MLB debut.
Phillies put Connor Brogdon on the Covid IL. They are calling up Mark Appel.
