Goodrum opted out of his minor league deal with the Padres at the end of the Cactus League. The 33-year-old will need to be added to the 40-man roster to play for the Mets in 2025. There’s a pretty good chance that doesn’t happen.

Caglianone singled during the Royals’ rally in the fourth inning and ultimately scored on an RBI knock by Kameron Misner. He also started the sixth inning with a single but was quickly erased on a double play ball. With his two-hit attack, the 23-year-old slugger is now hitting .279/.351/.457 on the season with eight homers, 19 RBI and three stolen bases on the season.

Wacha walked one and struck out two on the day. Most of the damage done against him came early, as the Rangers scratched out single runs in each of the first three innings — the last on a solo blast by Corey Seager. The lone tally after that came on a run-scoring single in the sixth. Wacha generated seven whiffs on 102 pitches on the day, posting an underwhelming CSW of just 22 percent. Now 4-5 on the season, he’ll carry a solid 3.58 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 69/27 K/BB ratio (88 innings) into Tuesday’s battle against the Nationals in Washington.

Suzuki’s homer off Ryan Feltner, which gave the Cubs their first runs of the day in the fourth, was his 10th of the year. He has three homers during an eight-game hitting streak in which he’s had exactly one hit each game. He’s batting .248/.332/.421 with 26 RBI through 55 games.

Cabrera gave up a couple of homers in Coors, but both were solo shots. He struck out five and walked two. Cabrera’s velocity was again very good; he averaged 96.9 mph with his fastball today, just down from 97.3 mph last Friday in his return from the injured list. In 10 starts before missing time with a blister, Cabrera averaged 95.7 mph, and the only time he was over 96.0 mph previously was when he came in at 96.5 mph in his season debut. Obviously, he’ll be a better bet if the velocity sticks around, though he should be fine either way next week, as he’ll be facing the Rockies outside of Colorado.

Feltner gave up two hits, a walk and a Seiya Suzuki grand slam in the fourth and then walked two more batters before being pulled with one out in the fifth. Both runners went on to score after Blas Castaño took over. Feltner was effective in his first two starts off the IL, but his season ERA is back up to 5.20 after this. He’ll face the Cubs again next week, though he won’t have to deal with Coors then.

The 32-year-old Sullivan had just three major league homers coming into the game, one each in 2023, ’24 and ’26. It’s his second three-hit game. Sullivan is batting .231/.298/.396 in 98 plate appearances as Hunter Goodman’s backup.

Carrigg hit one out to right off Edward Cabrera in his third game as a major leaguer. He’s 3-for-11 after his first series at Coors Field, and now he’ll get to go hit in Coors West against the A’s in Sacramento this weekend. He has a chance to provide some short-term value in shallow leagues.

The versatile 23-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a fractured right wrist during the first week of April. He made it through a minor league rehab stint at Triple-A Reno without any issues though and is ready to rejoin the big league club. The Diamondbacks will have to make a pair of roster moves to accommodate his return on Friday.

Brash landed on the injured list on Wednesday with a recurrence of a lat issue that cost him three weeks in May. Wilson didn’t provide any new information, other than that Brash is expected to be out for “awhile”. It’s safe to assume that we won’t see him back in a Mariners’ uniform until after the All-Star break.

Orioles’ skipper Craig Albernaz noted that Kremer is “checking the boxes right now, which is great.” The 30-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since the end of April due to a right quad strain and isn’t eligible to return from the injured list until the end of June. It sounds like he could be ready to start a minor league rehab assignment soon.
