The 27-year-old slipped while working on his delivery during a workout on Monday and strained his groin. That opens up a path for Enmanuel De Jesus to make the Opening Day roster.

Wilson connected on a 2-2 cutter from Max Fried in the second inning, clubbing a 396-foot (104.1-mph EV) solo shot that gave the M’s an early 1-0 lead. That would be the extent of the scoring for both teams in the ballgame. Wilson finished the afternoon 1-for-2 plus a walk and is now hitting .204/.297/.357 with four homers and 11 RBI in 111 plate appearances at the MLB level this season.

Muñoz looked exceptional in this one, needing just 11 pitches (eight strikes) to retire the Yankees in order — including strikeouts of George Lombard Jr. and Jazz Chisholm Jr. He has now converted 21 of his first 27 save chances on the season while registering a 3.71 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 69/17 K/BB ratio across 43 2/3 innings.

Gilbert scattered four hits on the afternoon while allowing only one base on balls. The Mariners provided him with just one run of support in this one and he did his part to make sure that it was enough to hold up. The 29-year-old hurler generated 15 swings and misses on 95 offerings on the day — seven on his splitter — while registering a CSW of 31 percent. He’ll look to replicate this brilliant outing as he carries a 3.28 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and a 152/33 K/BB ratio (145 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s showdown against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

As a team, the Yankees were only able to muster four total hits against Logan Gilbert and company, with García accounting for half of them — and the lone extra-base hit — himself. The 26-year-old infielder has seen his production slow a bit since the move to the Yankees, hitting .258/.303/.452 with one homer and two RBI over 33 plate appearances in his first eight games with the Bombers.

The 32-year-old southpaw struck out four batters on the day while issuing a pair of free passes. The lone tally against him came on a solo blast off the bat of Weston Wilson in the second inning which proved to be the only scoring for either side in the contest. Fried got seven whiffs on 88 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 31 percent. He’ll bring a stellar 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 79/27 K/BB ratio (86 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s tilt against the Orioles in Baltimore.

No word yet on the reason for Turang’s absence from the lineup, but it sounds like he may be dealing with some sort of ailment. Brewers’ skipper Pat Murphy should have an update on his status before Thursday’s game starts.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine night off for the dynamic 33-year-old infielder. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at shortstop and will bat sixth for the Dodgers against Brewers’ left-hander Shane Drohan on Thursday evening in Los Angeles.

Julien had been designated for assignment earlier in the week and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old hit just .208 (49-for-236) with three homers and five stolen bases in 88 games with the Rockies this season. He’ll continue to function as extra infield depth at the Triple-A level.

The 31-year-old righty was released by the Padres last weekend after posting a 5.26 ERA, and a 37/24 K/BB ratio over 53 innings of work. He’ll add rotation depth for the Twins.

Robinson had passed through waivers unclaimed last weekend after being designated for assignment, but it appears that rather than accepting the outright assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City, the two sides will part ways. He’s now free to peddle his wares on the open market.
