Jazz Chisholm Jr. clears concussion protocol

The Mets are in the midst of a disappointing season and have already fired manager Carlos Mendoza, with many also calling for Stearns to step down as the team is just 208-202 in his tenure and headed toward a second straight postseason miss. However, Steve Cohen made it clear that it would not happen: “It’s a mixed record. I’m not gonna say it’s going great, but it’s too early to really make evaluations...We’ll figure out what changes need to be made. But the change that’s not going to be made is moving David out at this point. I’m just not going to do it.”

The 28-year-old has a 12.46 ERA in 4 1/3 innings for the Tigers this season. He will be used in bulk relief for the time being.

Vest last pitched on June 27th and allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits in one inning. He clearly wasn’t right during that outing, and now we know why. He will undergo further imaging to determine how long he will be sidelined.

It seems like a routine day off for Goldschmidt, but the veteran is just 11-for-51 (.216) in his last 14 games. Of course, four of those hits have been home runs, but he is sporting a 14/2 K/BB ratio over that stretch as well. He was never going to keep swinging as hot a bat as he had been at the beginning of the month, but we’re not ready to say the fun is completely over.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that a few members of the team are dealing with food poisoning, so perhaps Jones is one of them. The 25-year-old is hitting .225/.313/.366 in his 80 MLB plate appearances this season with a 42.5 percent strikeout rate and a 20.5 percent swinging strike rate. With Trent Grisham (hamstring) set to return this weekend, Jones may be headed back to Triple-A. Jose Caballero will start in center field on Wednesday with Oswald Cabrera at third base and Amed Rosario at designated hitter.

The Red Sox will throw their third left-handed starter in this series, and while Abrams has started the last two, they will give him a day off on Wednesday. Nasim Nunez will slide over to shortstop with Jorbit Vias entering the lineup at second base and batting seventh. Andres Chaparro will also make his third straight start and bat third while Luis Garcia Jr. heads to the bench.

Bubic made his first rehab start on June 24th and threw just eight pitches in a scoreless inning. He was set to pitch again on Wednesday, but he will not head back to Kansas City for further evaluation. This is obviously not a great sign, but we will await the results of further evaluation before predicting whether he will pitch again this season.

This is the third straight game against a left-hander that Duran has sat out. The 29-year-old is hitting .216/.284/.297 in 81 plate appearances against lefties this season with a 27.2 percent strikeout rate. Nate Eaton will start in left field and bat seventh while Romy Gonzalez will be the designated hitter and bat fifth.

Weston has pitched one scoreless inning for the Orioles this season. He has a 7.23 ERA in 37 1/3 innings at Triple-A in a hybrid role.

Walker was just recalled from the minors on Monday and pitched in back-to-back games, allowing one run on two hits in two innings. The Orioles will make a move to bring up a fresh arm for the bullpen.
