A look at what’s happening around baseball today:
CHECK HIM
The Chicago Cubs might have further word on Yu Darvish after the Japanese ace said he felt soreness in his troubled triceps tendon following a minor league rehab start. Darvish hasn’t pitched in the majors since May 20 because of right triceps tendinitis. He threw five sharp innings for Class A South Bend on Monday Michael Deiter Jersey , and was set to rejoin the Cubs during their series at Dodger Stadium.
”In the triceps there’s likeliness to get more fatigue there, especially if there’s a long gap between innings,” he said through a translator. ”That’s when I feel fatigue there. Not necessarily pain, but I can’t for sure say there is nothing going on in the tricep zone.”
NIMMO NEEDED
The Mets take a seven-game skid into their game against Pittsburgh, but at least they may get their most productive hitter back. Brandon Nimmo has a sore right pinkie after getting hit by a pitch Sunday, but an MRI showed no broken bones and he is day to day. He didn’t start Monday but entered as a pinch-runner in the eighth inning and stayed in the game to play left field. The Mets have also lost 14 of 15 at home and are 13-25 at Citi Field this season.
ACES ALONG I-95
Aces Luis Severino and Jake Arrieta square off as the Yankees continue a series in Philadelphia. Severino (11-2 Daniel Jones Jersey , 2.24) has never faced the Phillies, and Arrieta (5-5, 3.42) is 3-1, 3.83 in seven career starts vs. New York. The Yankees won the series opener Monday in their first appearance at Citizens Bank Park since beating the Phillies in the 2009 World Series. The Yankees improved to 14-14 against the Phillies, leaving the Los Angeles Dodgers as the only team they have a losing record (6-7) against in the regular season.
ON THE SKIDS
Carlos Martinez has lost three straight decisions entering a tough test against Corey Kluber and the Indians. Martinez (3-4, 3.24) hasn’t won since May 2 Dexter Lawrence Jersey , and St. Louis has dropped his past five starts, a span in which he has a 7.06 ERA. Kluber (11-3, 2.10) pitched seven innings of one-hit ball in a 12-0 victory over the White Sox in his previous outing.
COLLEGES
Oregon State and Arkansas begin the College World Series, a day after the opener in their best-of-three matchup was rained out in Omaha. Luke Heimlich (16-2) starts for Oregon State against the Razorbacks’ Blaine Knight (13-0).
A two-time Pac-12 pitcher of the year, Heimlich was not picked in this month’s Major League Baseball draft. He wasn’t with the team at last year’s College World Series after it was revealed he had pleaded guilty to molesting a young relative when he was 15. He served two years’ probation and went through a treatment program, but later denied wrongdoing in interviews with Sports Illustrated and The New York Times.
So Deandre Baker Jersey , here at TheSportster, we love to ask 'what if'? What if Manning and Rivers never were traded for each other? What if Dez Bryant actually caught that ball against the Packers? What if Tom Brady never won the Super Bowl because the "tuck rule" wasn't in effect? We can speak in hypotheticals all day, but we will truly never no the answer to these hard hitting NFL questions.One semi-hypothetical question we can ask though is where each NFL quarterback will end up in the 2018 season. Is the guy a free agent? Is he trade bait? Or will he even be in the league again? Not to mention the slough of college quarterbacks that are posed to take over the 2018 draft. There are so many stories to dive into right now, but we are going to focus on which teams these field generals will end up on. We saw plenty of QBs move around this past offseason, so there's no reason to think we won't see another QB carousel at the conclusion of this season.So call your audible, try to draw off the defense Oshane Ximines Jersey , and check down to your nearest psychic because we are predicting where these 15 NFL quarterbacks will be next year.
