#BlueJays remain hopeful that Josh Donaldson will be in the lineup at third base tonight. He has not started there since the season opener due to "dead arm" issues with his shoulder. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Nelson Cruz on 10-day disabled list with sprained right ankle, which he sustained slipping on dugout steps following home run in 2nd game of the season. @MLBNetwork @MLB

Aaron Boone said Jacoby Ellsbury has been shut down with “a little hip thing.” Any chance of his being activated Thursday has disappeared. Aaron Hicks is progressing well, still hopeful his DL stint is a short one.

Folks in the Giants organization say that at the end of spring training, Pablo Sandoval was swinging the bat very well. It'll be interesting to see if he gets some playing time in the days ahead, if the SF lineup continues to struggle.

#Rays Kiermaier will try something new today to combat cold weather vs #Yankees - covering his whole body with Vaseline to serve as an extra layer against the wind.

Hope he doesn't have to slide.

Hope he doesn't have to slide.

I hope he gets called in to pitch.

He could try, you know, wearing clothes.

Third shoutout is the charm... The Yankees defeat the Rays 11-4 thanks to Didi Gregorius having himself a day. Gregorius is the 3rd SS in MLB history with 4 hits and 8 RBI in a single game, joining Miguel Tejada and Hall-of-Famer Travis Jackson.

Once again great trade by ARZ

Once again great trade by ARZ

When was the trade?

Jayson Stark
@jaysonst

Giancarlo Stanton's riveting stat line so far: 3 HR, 2 doubles, 4 walks, 12 strikeouts, no singles. It all computes to a 1.029 OPS for a guy who is 2 for 20, with 12 K's, when he doesn't hit the ball over the fence.
Fun with numbers!

 

[overseascardfan]

When was the trade?

2014. ARZ got Ray but Didi is looking like the next great NYY SS. Here’s to hope that Ray can continue to develop into a top of the rotation SP.

Otani is nuts.

I told you to stand still, Paxton! Caaaw!

I don’t know the bird’s background, so I’m hoping he was rescued and can’t be released into the wild - and not kept as an entertainment animal. That said, it’s pretty funny he went after a Canadian. Lol.

That is a rescue bird that can't be released to the wild - usually happens when someone finds either a baby, or an injured bird, gets taken to rehab, and either the injuries don't allow for release, or the bird has imprinted on humans.

Pitching gifs are my new favorite thing.
