Morning, all!
Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson have both been reinstated by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, making both eligible for election to the Hall of Fame.
Reliever Luke Jackson dodged a bullet but not a line drive on Monday, as he has reported significant improvement after being struck by a batted ball on the first pitch he threw Monday night.
Kevin Pillar nearing a return from the IL for a tricky back the Rangers will have to make some roster decisions.
Corey Seager is going back on the IL because his hamstring apparently wasn’t fixed yet.
Bruce Bochy wants Seager back at 100%, and says this trip to the IL may be longer than 10 days.
Chris Martin left last night’s game after throwing a single pitch and it appeared to say about his elbow that “it popped.”
Last night marked the first quality start of Jack Leiter’s career and the first time the Rangers’ rotation has had a sub 3.00 ERA since they became the Rangers.
While Leiter pitched like a guy only expecting 2 runs from his offense Josh Jung went ahead and belted 2 homers for 4 RBI’s just to remind you that that’s something that can happen sometimes.
