And on Friday, the Yankees' bats backed him up. Nick Suss and Joshua Needelman 6/10/2016 5:49 P.M. 1465595377 http://ift.tt/1XeRHj5 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 18:20:42 EDT http://ift.tt/1XeRHj5 The excitement of hearing his name called as the fifth-round pick by the Toronto Blue Jays on Day 2 of Draft on Friday was compounded for Notre Dame infielder Cavan Biggio when he recognized the name that was announcing the pick. Brian McTaggart 6/10/2016 6:20 P.M. 1465597242 http://ift.tt/1Urj977 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:09:01 EDT http://ift.tt/1Urj977 Starter Gerrit Cole left in the third inning of the Pirates' game with the Cardinals on Friday after a meeting on the mound with Pirates manager Clint Hurdle and head athletic trainer Todd Tomczyk. It was announced that Cole left the game due to right triceps tightness and is being evaluated. Sarah K. Spencer 6/10/2016 7:48 P.M. 1465602492 http://ift.tt/1ZFwxJ4 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:03:44 EDT http://ift.tt/1ZFwxJ4 The Reds couldn't figure out A's starter Sonny Gray for the first six innings Friday night, including being no-hit through the first 5 1/3 innings, but a two-run rally in the seventh inning and three shutout innings from the bullpen led to a 2-1 win at Great American Ball Park. Kevin Goheen and Cody Pace 6/10/2016 7:49 P.M. 1465602547 http://ift.tt/1YiBLvz Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:53:13 EDT http://ift.tt/1YiBLvz There aren't many places where Red Sox slugger David Ortiz can walk down the street incognito. But there he was, Thursday afternoon, walking around downtown Minneapolis without a soul stopping him for a picture or an autograph. Dan Myers 6/10/2016 7:52 P.M. 1465602738 http://ift.tt/28raxHN Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:50:43 EDT http://ift.tt/28raxHN Every Draft produces big league talent, some of the All-Star caliber, some just contributors to Major League rosters. Patience is often the most important virtue in waiting for that to happen, for allowing the development process to unfold so players can turn themselves from top amateurs to top professionals. Jonathan Mayo 6/10/2016 9:24 P.M. 1465608288 http://ift.tt/1TZVY41 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:25:58 EDT http://ift.tt/1TZVY41 The Phillies started Day 2 of the 2016 Draft on Friday afternoon when they selected a high school infielder from Nebraska, Cole Stobbe. Todd Zolecki 6/10/2016 12:39 P.M. 1465576787 Thu, 9 Jun 2016 22:53:09 EDT Draftee reactions you just have to see Adrian Garro 6/9/2016 10:53 P.M. 1465527189 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 14:30:46 EDT Stroman-Travis handshake is an inspiration Ben Cosman 6/10/2016 2:30 P.M. 1465583446 http://ift.tt/1tnBV9B Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:06:44 EDT http://ift.tt/1tnBV9B James McCann never met Gordie Howe, but he knows the impact the Detroit legend, nicknamed "Mr. Hockey," had on the area. So after learning of the former Red Wing's death while scrolling through his phone Friday morning, McCann instantly drew a comparison to another influential sports figure. Joshua Needelman 6/10/2016 6:03 P.M. 1465596215 http://ift.tt/21byUDS Fri, 10 Jun 2016 01:08:18 EDT http://ift.tt/21byUDS Albert Pujols is hovering right around 100 WAR, and should he finish his career above that mark, he would be only the 32nd player to do so, joining baseball royalty. 6/10/2016 1:08 A.M. 1465535298 http://ift.tt/1Ss5DzH Mon, 6 Jun 2016 23:36:14 EDT http://ift.tt/1Ss5DzH Help pick the lineups in San Diego on July 12.

After an exciting first day of the Draft, highlighted by a group of flame-throwing prep pitchers and euphoric reactions, 239 players were selected on Day 2. Joe Trezza 6/10/2016 2:32 P.M. 1465583544 http://ift.tt/1U0cRM1 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:36:07 EDT http://ift.tt/1U0cRM1 Troy Tulowitzki has been out since May 27 with soreness in his right quadriceps and had been rehabbing at the Blue Jays' Minor League complex in Dunedin, Fla. The 31-year-old began hitting of a tee earlier in the week and got into an extended spring training game on Friday before being pulled mid-game. Alykhan Ravjiani 6/10/2016 6:33 P.M. 1465598038 http://ift.tt/1VR6xLx Fri, 10 Jun 2016 14:01:01 EDT http://ift.tt/1VR6xLx It was no surprise Friday when the Phillies announced that they had placed Vince Velasquez on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right biceps. Todd Zolecki 6/10/2016 2:01 P.M. 1465581661 http://ift.tt/1OhtgyG Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:15:54 EDT http://ift.tt/1OhtgyG Catcher Francisco Cervelli left in the bottom of the fourth inning of the Pirates' game vs. the Cardinals on Friday after talking it over with manager Clint Hurdle and an athletic trainer. It was announced that Cervelli left the game due to left hand pain and is being evaluated. He seemed to injure or irritate his hand toward the back of his final swing before exiting. Sarah K. Spencer 6/10/2016 8:23 P.M. 1465604608 http://ift.tt/1Yg49yb Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:23:37 EDT http://ift.tt/1Yg49yb Padres starter Andrew Cashner left the series opener with the Rockies after throwing six pitches Friday night at Coors Field.

T.R. Sullivan 6/10/2016 8:16 P.M. 1465604188 http://ift.tt/21dB2uE Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:34:42 EDT http://ift.tt/21dB2uE Conor Biggio's eyes lit up as he skipped his way to the microphone. He was one of the few people who knew the Toronto Blue Jays had just drafted his younger brother, Cavan, with the No. 162 overall pick in this year's Draft, and he was about to tell the rest of the baseball world. Joe Trezza 6/10/2016 8:11 P.M. 1465603893 http://ift.tt/1UlyRon Fri, 10 Jun 2016 15:44:24 EDT http://ift.tt/1UlyRon Earle Combs and Roger Peckinpaugh are in Joe DiMaggio's sights. The rest of the American League is in the Yankees' sights. Doug Miller 6/8/2016 12:03 P.M. 1465401815 http://ift.tt/1UHZhPz Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:20:22 EDT http://ift.tt/1UHZhPz Considering no player from the Air Force Academy has played in the Majors, Twins scouting director Deron Johnson knows the challenge that lies ahead for their third-round pick, Griffin Jax. Rhett Bollinger 6/10/2016 7:28 P.M. 1465601289 http://ift.tt/1U0i9XY Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:23:25 EDT http://ift.tt/1U0i9XY Yasiel Puig will head to Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore on Monday to begin a rehab assignment, Dodgers manger Dave Roberts said before Friday night's game against the Giants. Rick Eymer 6/10/2016 9:23 P.M. 1465608200 http://ift.tt/1U0fsph Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:28:21 EDT http://ift.tt/1U0fsph Leonys Martin, who missed 14 games with a strained left hamstring, returned to the Mariners' lineup on Friday. Seattle was 5-9 without Martin. Jim Hoehn 6/10/2016 8:13 P.M. 1465603987 http://ift.tt/25PWmNw Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:30:27 EDT http://ift.tt/25PWmNw They've seen him blast a baseball more than 400 feet, and on other occasions reach back and throw 92 mph off the mound. It didn't matter if he was hitting or pitching, Sean Reynolds from Redondo (Calif.) Union High School impressed the Marlins. Joe Frisaro 6/10/2016 9:06 P.M. 1465607203 http://ift.tt/1U0i46x Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:19:36 EDT http://ift.tt/1U0i46x He may have thrown a pair of no-hitters as the ace for George County (Miss.) High School, but a look above Walker Robbins' locker gave away his future plans. There, on most given days, Robbins would have more than a half-dozen wooden bats stashed away. Jenifer Langosch 6/10/2016 7:48 P.M. 1465602520 http://ift.tt/1RZBzKq Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:24:26 EDT http://ift.tt/1RZBzKq A year ago, University of Illinois catcher Jason Goldstein was picked in the 17th round by the Dodgers. He bettered his stock this past season and was selected in the ninth round Friday by the Mariners. Greg Johns 6/10/2016 8:58 P.M. 1465606719 http://ift.tt/1OhtuG0 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:50:45 EDT http://ift.tt/1OhtuG0 Carlos Gonzalez, through his foundation, teamed with Project C.U.R.E. on Friday to deliver $500,000 of life-saving medical equipment to the Sinamaica Hospital in north-central Venezuela. Thomas Harding 6/10/2016 7:50 P.M. 1465602644 http://ift.tt/1rhqEWr Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:45:22 EDT http://ift.tt/1rhqEWr His family moved from Venezuela to Montreal just before he was born in search of a better life. Abraham Toro-Hernandez's next stop might be Houston. Brian McTaggart 6/10/2016 8:53 P.M. 1465606403 http://ift.tt/1VRGFz6 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:54:22 EDT http://ift.tt/1VRGFz6 Erik Johnson is embracing the chance to prove his place in the Padres' starting rotation after a June 4 trade that sent James Shields to the White Sox and brought Johnson and Fernando Tatis Jr. to San Diego. Owen Perkins 6/10/2016 7:54 P.M. 1465602862 http://ift.tt/1PR1dGW Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:12:19 EDT http://ift.tt/1PR1dGW Peter O'Brien has mashed Minor League pitching, proving he deserves the chance to see if he can succeed in the Majors. Jake Rill 6/10/2016 8:49 P.M. 1465606159 http://ift.tt/1UHX2fp Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:04:20 EDT http://ift.tt/1UHX2fp Aaron Civale, who starred in an exhibition vs. the Red Sox last year, headlined Draft Day 2 for the Indians. Jordan Bastian 6/10/2016 9:04 P.M. 1465607062 http://ift.tt/1Oht42F Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:52:20 EDT http://ift.tt/1Oht42F A lot more mattered than the scores, the championships and the trophies this week as about 1,200 Native American youths played on pristine Major League fields in the 18th annual Arizona Diamondbacks Inter-Tribal Youth Baseball and Softball Tournament. Jim Walsh 6/10/2016 8:12 P.M. 1465603940 http://ift.tt/1Yg4cdm Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:54:18 EDT http://ift.tt/1Yg4cdm The Giants made several roster moves Friday, placing Kelby Tomlinson on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left thumb and calling up infielder Ramiro Pena, while also transferring reliever Sergio Romo to the 60-day DL. Mark Chiarelli 6/10/2016 8:54 P.M. 1465606453 http://ift.tt/1ZFwOLV Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:25:13 EDT http://ift.tt/1ZFwOLV Manager Andy Green released the results of Jon Edwards' MRI for his strained right flexor before Friday's series opener with the Rockies, and the news was mixed. Owen Perkins 6/10/2016 9:25 P.M. 1465608313 http://ift.tt/1UHWPZu Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:09:42 EDT http://ift.tt/1UHWPZu Landing a big fish in a small pond can be a risky proposition for any team. Austin Franklin, a right-hander who hails from a small school in the Florida panhandle, proved to be too enticing for the Rays to pass up. Bill Chastain 6/10/2016 12:47 P.M. 1465577241 http://ift.tt/1U0gj9F Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:03:03 EDT http://ift.tt/1U0gj9F Matt Gonzalez has already experienced the thrill of hitting a key home run against a rival at a stadium that has long housed his favorite Major League team. But the Atlanta resident and Georgia Tech product will now have a chance to experience something even more memorable -- the chance to realize his childhood dream of playing for the hometown team that his late grandfather long loved. Mark Bowman 6/10/2016 8:48 P.M. 1465606086 http://ift.tt/1Oht2rx Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:42:21 EDT http://ift.tt/1Oht2rx After dealing with an injury and a position switch, Nicholas Lopez's dream of playing in the Majors was realized when he was selected in the fifth round by the Royals with the 163rd overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft on Friday. Scott Chasen 6/10/2016 8:42 P.M. 1465605739 http://ift.tt/1UrjCpK Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:20:30 EDT http://ift.tt/1UrjCpK The degree means more than one might expect for a highly touted pitcher. Kyle Funkhouser graduated from Louisville last month with a degree in marketing, which meant as much for himself as it did to his family back home in Chicago. Jason Beck 6/10/2016 8:20 P.M. 1465604432 http://ift.tt/1tihTgd Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:19:33 EDT http://ift.tt/1tihTgd The White Sox on Friday designated veteran shortstop Jimmy Rollins for assignment and purchased the contract of top position prospect and fellow shortstop Tim Anderson from Triple-A Charlotte. Cody Stavenhagen 6/10/2016 11:29 A.M. 1465572592 http://ift.tt/1VRhj4p Fri, 10 Jun 2016 16:57:36 EDT http://ift.tt/1VRhj4p After notching four RBIs in his first two starts with the Yankees on Wednesday and Thursday, first baseman Chris Parmelee landed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday with a strained right hamstring he suffered in Thursday's win. As a counter to the move, the Yankees recalled right-handed pitcher Chad Green from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Nick Suss 6/10/2016 3:29 P.M. 1465586972 http://ift.tt/1XMSHf0 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:34:49 EDT http://ift.tt/1XMSHf0 One thing stood out to Cal State Fullerton pitching coach Jason Dietrich the first time he saw right-hander Chad Hockin pitch in high school. Cash Kruth 6/10/2016 7:29 P.M. 1465601377 http://ift.tt/1YiBLf3 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:49:58 EDT http://ift.tt/1YiBLf3 Astros shortstop Carlos Correa was out of the lineup Friday with a left ankle sprain, but manager A.J. Hinch has kept open the possibility that the 2015 American League Rookie of the Year will play sometime in the next two days. Andrew Astleford 6/10/2016 7:24 P.M. 1465601093 http://ift.tt/1UriWRg Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:28:13 EDT http://ift.tt/1UriWRg First baseman Anthony Rizzo was a late scratch from Friday's Cubs lineup because of a stiff back. Carrie Muskat 6/10/2016 6:56 P.M. 1465599371 http://ift.tt/21dB0Ty Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:12:32 EDT http://ift.tt/21dB0Ty Two years after Tommy John surgery, rehab and a season at the University of South Carolina, Braden Webb is on track and a third-round Draft selection. Adam McCalvy 6/10/2016 8:12 P.M. 1465603949 http://ift.tt/1YiCXz2 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:08:34 EDT http://ift.tt/1YiCXz2 As Maryland's baseball coaches waited for prized right-hander Mike Shawaryn to pick his college destination four years ago, they created a nickname that wound up sticking. Shawaryn, who was selected by the Red Sox in the fifth round of the Draft on Friday, would forever be known as "The Unicorn" during his three years with the Terrapins. Ian Browne 6/10/2016 12:47 P.M. 1465577241 http://ift.tt/1UriuCt Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:33:31 EDT http://ift.tt/1UriuCt Kelly Johnson arrived for his second stint with the Mets just in time to give a sore Neil Walker a day off. Andrew Gruman 6/10/2016 7:33 P.M. 1465601608 http://ift.tt/1Urc1HJ Fri, 10 Jun 2016 17:14:16 EDT http://ift.tt/1Urc1HJ Rays manager Kevin Cash certainly didn't expect to have his leadoff hitter and starting second baseman Logan Forsythe back in the lineup on Friday. Forsythe had only played two games with Triple-A Durham during his rehab stint from a shoulder fracture. Sam Blum 6/10/2016 5:14 P.M. 1465593256 http://ift.tt/1YiCrBn Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:52:23 EDT http://ift.tt/1YiCrBn A few weeks before he was taken as the sixth round pick by the Reds on Friday in the 2016 MLB Draft, pitcher Tyler Mondile had already had the experience of pitching in a primetime setting. He also saw how baseball can be utilized to benefit others. Mark Sheldon 6/10/2016 7:52 P.M. 1465602742 http://ift.tt/1szs8wr Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:34:23 EDT http://ift.tt/1szs8wr With their first pick in Round 3 on Friday, the Blue Jays selected Arkansas righty Zach Jackson, who was projected to be one of the first relievers taken in this year's Draft. Gregor Chisholm 6/10/2016 12:47 P.M. 1465577241 http://ift.tt/1UrhRsJ Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:53:58 EDT http://ift.tt/1UrhRsJ Infielder Carter Kieboom was never able to play with his older brother, Spencer, when they were growing up in Georgia because of the eight-year age difference between the two. But they will get a chance to play in the same organization once Carter signs with the Nationals, the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2016 Draft. Bill Ladson 6/10/2016 7:45 P.M. 1465602304 http://ift.tt/1PQ8QNJ Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:37:54 EDT http://ift.tt/1PQ8QNJ For a Tigers front office that didn't have a second- or third-round pick, Louisville right-hander Kyle Funkhouser's fall was their gain. Jason Beck 6/10/2016 3:37 P.M. 1465587446 http://ift.tt/21d7ZHF Fri, 10 Jun 2016 14:33:55 EDT http://ift.tt/21d7ZHF For the final day of HOPE Week on Friday, the Yankees' Didi Gregorius, Alex Rodriguez, Aroldis Chapman, Nathan Eovaldi and Aaron Hicks joined Blissful Bedrooms to help renovate the bedroom of 18-year-old Said Rivera, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was 5 months old. Troy Provost-Heron 6/10/2016 2:33 P.M. 1465583635 http://ift.tt/1TYnor6 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 01:42:52 EDT http://ift.tt/1TYnor6 The Phillies selected La Costa Canyon (Calif.) High School outfielder Mickey Moniak on Thursday with the first overall pick in the 2016 Draft. Moniak, 18, is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound left-handed hitter who's most often compared to Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich. Moniak's stock started to rise last summer and continued to rise through the spring, as he hit .476 with 12 triples, seven home runs, 46 RBIs and a .921 slugging percentage in his senior year.
