Armstrong (neck) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on May 16 and has struck out six over six innings while allowing two runs on one hit and two walks through his first five appearances. Since he's been sidelined since spring training with the neck injury, Armstrong will be eligible...

Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Rockies. Walker's fifth-inning blast was his 12th and snapped an 11-game stretch without going deep. The last two weeks have been a grind for the Diamondbacks' primary first basemen; Walker is 7-for-45 (.156) with a .491 OPS over the last 12 games.

Julien will be optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Julien performed well after being recalled to the majors May 20, slashing .286/.333/.500 with two homers and four RBI in 36 plate appearances. He'll be forced back to Triple-A due to the return of Jorge Polanco (hamstring), but the 24-year-old prospect will almost certainly be back with the Twins at some point this year if he continues to crush minor-league pitching.

Former NFL star running back Errick Miron, previously known as Ricky Williams before changing his name in 2022, dealt with his fair share of off-the-field issues during his NFL career.

Jung went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers. Jung scored the opening run Tuesday after cracking a one-out double in the second inning. He'd later extend the Rangers' lead to 9-6 in the seventh, belting a two-run homer off Tyler Holton. The 25-year-old Jung extended his hit streak to 13 games -- he's gone 21-for-49 with four home runs in that span. He's now slashing .291/.338/.527 with 12 home runs, 37 RBI and 39 runs scored through 219 plate appearances this season.

Houston, TX

Diaz went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Twins. Diaz entered the game in the eighth inning with Houston down eight runs and slugged his second career home run. He continues to get only sparing usage behind Martin Maldonado behind the plate, as he's tallied 68 plate appearances despite sticking in the majors for the entire season.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Monday's 10-inning loss to the Twins. Altuve temporarily turned the game around with his seventh-inning grand slam, giving Houston its first lead of the game. However, Minnesota eventually prevailed after the game went to an extra frame. Altuve missed the first seven weeks of the campaign after fracturing his thumb in the World Baseball Classic, but he hasn't missed a beat upon his return. He's hit safely in seven straight games and is slashing .355/.444/.645 with two homers, six RBI and seven runs overall through 36 plate appearances.

Brown (5-2) took the loss against Minnesota on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over 4.2 innings. The strikeout stuff continues to be there for Brown -- he has now fanned eight or more batters in four straight contests -- but he gave up a season-high five runs and was unable to complete five innings. All of Minnesota's hits against him were singles, though four of them came in the third frame and led to three runs. Brown has had a few mediocre outings this season, but he's been solid overall, posting a 3.61 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 74:20 K:BB across 62.1 frames.

Atlanta, GA

Mayfield (back) was seen taking some reps at right guard during 11-on-11 drills throughout last week's OTAs, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. The Falcons' 2021 third-round pick missed the entire 2022 NFL season with a back injury, but he's back on the field after having moved past the issue. During Mayfield's rookie year, he started all but one game for Atlanta at left guard, but the team now has him taking snaps at right guard. He won't be starting over All-Pro right guard Chris Lindstrom, so it's most likely that Mayfield will serve as a depth piece for the Falcons' offensive line.

Slightly southeast of Denver on the Colorado Front Range, the West Bijou Creek meanders through a 7600 acres located on the K-T Boundary. According to the National Park Service the site "contains some of the most scientifically important evidence associated with the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary [formerly known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary]. The K-Pg boundary at the West Bijou Site is unique due to its palynological extinction level, fern-spore spike, iridium anomaly and shocked quartz, Cretaceous and Paleogene (Tertiary) vertebrate fossils, magnetostratigraphy, and radiometric dating. Bisecting the site, West Bijou Creek, maintains a natural hydrologic pattern, flowing through a mosaic of upland and riparian shortgrass prairie plant communities, supporting a diversity of common and rare plant and wildlife species. West Bijou Site provides an excellent example of a valuable geologic resource located within a natural shortgrass prairie ecosystem."

Smith went 2-for-2 with three walks, a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-0 win over Colorado. Smith finally looked like a leadoff hitter Wednesday, reaching base five times. That equaled the number of times he reached base safely over the previous eight contests as Arizona's leadoff batter. In nine games atop the order, Smith is 5-for-29 with five walks. The lefty hitter should be back there once again Thursday against Colorado right-hander Connor Seabold.

Los Angeles, CA

The Los Angeles Lakers have had LeBron James for five years now. In those five seasons, they've had five completely distinct rosters. There is not a single player left from the young team he joined in 2018, with Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart all departing in the Anthony Davis trade. The 2020 championship team was torn down before it got a chance to defend its title, and when the replacements got knocked out in the first round, the Lakers panicked and traded for Russell Westbrook. It wasn't until February that they truly extricated themselves from the Westbrook nightmare, and that has put them in a relatively unique position heading into the 2023 offseason, at least by their own standards.

Miami, FL

The Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat are just one day away from battling it out in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. And while most of the focus has been on this current iteration of these two teams, the mind can't help but wander back to a heated meeting between Denver and Miami last season. It involved Nikola Jokic getting suspended, Jimmy Butler yelling at Denver's bench to "bring that s--- to the back" and a now infamous picture of Heat players waiting outside Denver's locker room due to the in-game altercation.
