Brubaker is currently on a rehab assignment as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery, and picked up the injury while making a fielding attempt. Yankees manager Aaron Boone offered no timetable, only saying he’d be shut down. Brubaker has an outside shot of helping the New York pitching staff at some point in 2024.

Hendricks walked two and struck out two. He narrowly avoided giving up a grand slam in the third to Rowdy Tellez, but that sac fly and a fielder’s choice from Leody Taveras gave the Mariners a 3-1 cushion. He also allowed an RBI triple to Julio Rodríguez in the fourth and a run-scoring single by J.P. Crawford in the first. Hendricks was in consistent trouble, and the Seattle offense let him off the hook, to quote a certain former NFL coach. He’ll take an ugly 5.40 ERA into a scheduled start against the Athletics next week.

This guy can really do it all. After being held out of the lineup for the last two games with a fractured pinky toe, manager Carlos Mendoza called on him with two on and two out in the eighth inning for the most important at-bat of the game. Lindor answered the call by smoking a double down the line to bring both Juan Soto and Pete Alonso home and give the Mets a late lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. Usually a slow starter, Lindor already has 14 home runs, 11 stolen bases, and an .852 OPS this season. He should be well on his way to an All-Star campaign if this broken toe doesn’t hold him out much longer.

Coming off his first blown save of the season last time out against the Dodgers, Díaz slammed the door shut on the Rockies here. He’s now allowed just one earned run across 14 1/3 innings since the beginning of May and has been one of the most dominant relief pitchers in baseball after a shaky stretch to begin the season.
