Fri 7/26/24 8:59 PM

Senga was removed from his start Friday against Atlanta due to an apparent calf injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Senga went to the ground grabbing at his left calf while getting out of the way of a pop-up in the sixth inning. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but the Mets will certainly want to take a closer look at the right-hander to determine the severity of his injury. Senga was activated off the injured list earlier Friday after missing the first several months of the year due to issues with his right shoulder and triceps, and he allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out nine batters through 5.1 frames in his season debut.

Fri 7/26/24 7:49 PM

Joe is absent from the starting nine for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
After falling into a short-side platoon role, Joe started in four of the Pirates' six games following the All-Star break. However, he will be idle Friday against right-hander Zac Gallen. With Bryan Reynolds on the bereavement list, Joe could see a minor bump in playing time in the short-term. In 317 plate appearances, Joe is slashing .243/.328/.389 with seven home runs.

Ryne Stanek
RP SEA
Fri 7/26/24 7:47 PM

The Mariners traded Stanek to the Mets on Friday for Rhylan Thomas, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanek's spot in Seattle's bullpen was in jeopardy after the Mariners acquired Yimi Garcia from the Blue Jays earlier Friday, and the former will now call New York his new home. Stanek has struggled in his eight outings in July, allowing five runs on five hits and six walks and striking out eight over 5.2 innings while registering two blown saves and a loss. Across his 46 outings for the season, Stanek has a 4.38 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 15 holds and seven saves across 39 innings. The 33-year-old right-hander will provide depth out of the Mets' bullpen and figures to be the second closer behind Edwin Diaz.

SP SF
Fri 7/26/24 7:34 PM

Cobb (hip/shoulder) is scheduled to throw five innings for Triple-A Sacramento on Friday in what is expected to be his final rehab start, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's rehab start will be Cobb's sixth as part of his recovery from an offseason hip surgery and midseason shoulder soreness. If all goes well in the outing, Cobb would be in line to pitch Wednesday against the Athletics, a move that would push Jordan Hicks to the bullpen. Cobb has yielded five runs with a 20:5 K:BB across 16.1 minor-league innings.

OUTCharlie Blackmon
RF/DH COL
Fri 7/26/24 7:28 PM

Blackmon isn't in Colorado's lineup Friday versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Kyle Harrison set to start on the bump for San Francisco, the lefty-hitting Blackmon will take a seat to begin Friday's contest. His absence will move Elias Diaz into the DH role, allowing Jacob Stallings to start behind the dish.

15DBlake Walston
P ARI
Fri 7/26/24 7:27 PM

Walston (elbow) threw live batting practice Friday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walston touched 94 miles per hour during the session, a very encouraging sign considering he hovered between 91 and 92 miles per hour during his three appearances this season. The 23-year-old southpaw is expected to be activated from the injured list sometime in August but may not have a spot on the 26-man roster. It's unclear how far along Walston is in being stretched out for a starter's workload.

OUTJake Cave
1B/LF/RF COL
Fri 7/26/24 7:24 PM

Cave isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies will face left-hander Kyle Harrison in Friday's series opener, so the left-handed Cave will take a seat on the bench. While he rests, Hunter Goodman, Brenton Doyle and Kris Bryant will start across the Rockies' outfield.

60DKeaton Winn
SP SF
Fri 7/26/24 7:23 PM

Winn is scheduled for an ulnar nerve transposition procedure on his right elbow Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Winn was initially placed on the 15-day injured list June 22 due to a nerve issue in his right elbow. He began his rehab program by throwing bullpen sessions in early July, but he was shut down from throwing Monday after experiencing additional discomfort in his right elbow. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on Wednesday, and with his surgery scheduled for Monday, the 26-year-old right-hander's season is officially over. He started in 12 games for the Giants before landing on the IL, going 3-8 with a 7.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB across 55.1 innings. Winn will now shift his attention to returning to the mound for the 2025 season.

DTDGregory Santos
RP SEA
Fri 7/26/24 7:11 PM

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Friday that the results of Santos' MRI on his right knee "came back OK," Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not as promising as hearing that the MRI came back clean, but it appears Santos will avoid a stint on the IL and could be available as soon as Saturday. Santos was removed in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Angels after being called for a balk. Before exiting Wednesday, he allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over 0.2 innings.

Cole Sulser
RP FA
Fri 7/26/24 7:02 PM

The Mets traded Sulser to the Rays on Friday for cash, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sulser was designated for assignment by the Mets on Monday, and the 34-year-old right-hander will now head to Tampa Bay via trade. Across four major-league outings this season, Sulser has given up five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven across 4.2 innings. He had far more success across his 24 outings with Triple-A Syracuse this season, posting a 1.48 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 30.1 frames. He'll stay at that level, with the Rays optioning Sulser to Durham following the trade.
