Kate Preusser and John Trupin | Lookout Landing: The Mariners are expected to call up Jarred Kelenic before Thursday’s game in Cleveland. Kelenic is Seattle’s top prospect and one of the best outfield prospects in baseball.
Lindsey Adler | The Athletic $: MLB’s changes to the baseball have decreased the number of home runs, but they’ve also decreased offense across the board. A lighter baseball not only carries less, but it can be thrown at higher velocities and with more movement, giving pitchers a distinct advantage.
Rob Mains and Derek Rhoads | Baseball Prospectus $: Injuries aren’t just up compared to 2018 and 2019, they’re up compared to 2020 as well which was an outlier itself.
