A look at what’s happening around the majors todaySuspensions could be on deck after Wednesday night’s melee between the Braves and Marlins. Ronald Acuna’s chance to extend his home run streak was put
on hold when Miami pitcher Jose Urena hit the rookie slugger in the left elbow
with his first pitch Cheap Tre'Davious White Jersey , a 97 mph fastball that left Acuna in obvious pain. The benches and bullpens for both teams emptied twice. Urena and
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker were ejected, and Snitker had angry words for the
pitcher. The 20-year-old Acuna exited in the second inning — the Braves said
X-rays were negative and results of further tests would be announced Thursday.
Atlanta won 5-2 to complete a four-game sweep.REDBIRDS SOARINGMarcell Ozuna and
the Cardinals try to extend their season-best winning streak to nine games when
they go for a four-game sweep of fading Washington. St. Louis, which is 18-9
since the All-Star break, hopes to have Matt Carpenter back in the lineup. On a
major tear at the plate, Carpenter was removed from Wednesday night’s game as a
precaution after being hit on the hand by a pitch in the seventh inning. X-rays
were negative, and Carpenter doesn’t expect to miss any time. “The pain and
swelling started to go down a bit Authentic Tre'Davious White Jersey ,” he said. “I definitely dodged a bullet there.” Before leaving, Carpenter extended his on-base streak to 33 games. He
has 17 homers and 30 RBIs during the run.TRYING TO FIND ITStruggling lefty Jon
Lester and the first-place Cubs visit Pittsburgh in the opener of a four-game
series between NL Central rivals. Lester (12-5, 3.89 ERA) is 0-3 with a 10.32
ERA in five starts since the All-Star break. Ivan Nova (7-6, 4.42) gets the ball
for the Pirates.LET’S PLAY FIVEPhiladelphia hosts the New York Mets in an odd
five-game series that begins with a single-admission doubleheader and ends with
a “home” game about 180 miles northeast of Citizens Bank Park. The doubleheader
Thursday includes the makeup of a May 12 rainout. Aaron Nola (13-3, 2.28 ERA)
starts the opener for the Phillies, who trail first-place Atlanta by two games
in the NL East. Steven Matz is set to come off the disabled list for New York.
Zach Eflin opposes Mets rookie Corey Oswalt in the nightcap. The teams then have
a 6:05 p.m. start time Friday because of a postgame concert. They play a
late-afternoon game Saturday before traveling to Williamsport Cheap Christian McCaffrey Jersey , Pennsylvania, for Sunday’s Little League Classic.IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THERE …Tampa Bay has lost 12 consecutive
series at Yankee Stadium dating to September 2014, but Blake Snell and the Rays
can end that dubious streak in the finale of a three-game set. Snell (13-5, 2.18
ERA) makes his second start after a stint on the disabled list because of left
shoulder fatigue. He faced Toronto in his previous outing and was perfect
through five innings before being pulled. Masahiro Tanaka (9-3, 4.08) pitches
for New York. New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge is swinging a bat
again.According to Coley Harvey of ESPN.com, the slugger took 50 swings??5 of
which were to hit the ball off the teerior to New York's Monday game against
the Oakland Athletics. It was the first time Judge has swung since he suffered a
chip fracture of his right wrist when he was hit by a pitch on July 26."It's
moving in the right direction. It's definitely a big step Authentic Christian McCaffrey Jersey ," Judge said. "We're just excited and kind of on track with what we're going to one day accomplish. So I'm excited for
the progress we're making so far."Judge said he didn't feel pain while swinging,
and manager Aaron Boone suggested he could be accelerating toward a return to
the field with this progress."Once we get through this weekend, and if he
continues to graduate, then you start really thinking about a possible timeline
about maybe getting back," Boone said.Harvey noted there is no official
timetable since the original plan was for him to return in three weeks after the
injury. It has been more than five weeks, and Judge won't have the option of
minor league rehab games with the minor league regular season over.This progress
comes at a time when the Bronx Bombers are 7.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox
in the American League East and running out of realistic time to make a charge.
However Baker Mayfield Jersey Elite , they are still comfortably in the playoff picture at 4.5 games ahead of the Athletics for the top wild-card spot and 10
games ahead of the Seattle Mariners should Oakland make a charge.New York has
weathered Judge's setback with Giancarlo Stanton at designated hitter, and the
trade acquisition of Andrew McCutchen provides important depth in right
field.Still, Judge's return to the lineup will make New York all the more
dangerous in the postseason. The reigning American League Rookie of the Year and
Silver Slugger winner has appeared in 99 games this season and is slashing
.285/.398/.548 with 26 homers and 61 RBI.
