Mariners promote infield prospect Cole Young
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners promoted infield prospect Cole Young from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of their game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
Right-hander Bryce Miller was also reinstated from the 15-day injured list and is expected to start. Infielder Leo Rivas and right-hander Casey Legumina were optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in corresponding moves. The Mariners also designated right-hander Will Klein for assignment.
Young, 21, was a No. 21 overall pick in the 2022 MLB amateur draft and was the Mariners' No. 3 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline, at the time of his promotion. He was off to a solid start to the year in the Pacific Coast League.
For the season, Young was hitting .277 with an .853 OPS for the Rainiers. In May, though, Young was particularly excellent, hitting .366 with a .467 on-base percentage, as well as 10 doubles, three triples and five home runs.

Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh leads MLB in homers and is on pace to set a season record for catchers
SEATTLE — Just before Big Dumper put a thump into a soaring flyball, a smattering of 'MVP! MVP!' chants broke out from behind home plate Sunday. Given the way Cal Raleigh's season has started, perhaps the Mariners' catcher is wholly deserving of such high praise. With a solo shot during Seattle's latest victory, 2-1 over the Minnesota Twins, Raleigh upped his total to a major league-leading 23 home runs.

Reds Make Milestone Elly De La Cruz Announcement Sunday
Reds Make Milestone Elly De La Cruz Announcement Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cincinnati Reds fell to 29-31 on the young MLB season Sunday as they lost 7-3 to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, falling further behind in the National League Central. Advertisement The loss kept manager Terry Francona's team from gaining ground on the St. Louis Cardinals, who lost 8-1 to the Texas Rangers. Sunday's game included a milestone achievement from shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who continued a solid season with a strong game, adding to his legend in Cincinnati. The Reds made an announcement on De La Cruz as the day wore on, spotlighting his achievement on social media.

Cruz blasted a 423-foot bomb at Wrigley, a two-run shot that provided a spark of hope for a Reds team that has been beaten down at times this season in the competitive NL Central. Advertisement Known more for his base stealing than his power numbers, De La Cruz has continued to hit for power during a rough first half of the season at times for Francona's team. De La Cruz's home run came after the death of his sister Genelis De La Cruz on Saturday. Elly De La Cruz insisted on playing despite his heavy heart and made it count as he knocked in two runs in one fell swoop. "For his sister," one fan wrote with a red heart emoji. "He smashed that one. I thought it was a foul at first," another said with a '100' emoji. "Sheer joy," another wrote as part of a congratulatory message on De La Cruz's milestone, bittersweet moment.

Cano, Little Rock beat No. 6 national seed LSU 10-4, force decisive game Monday in Baton Rouge
Associated Press BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Angel Cano hit a two-run home run in the second inning and a bases-clearing double in the third to help No. 4 seed Little Rock beat host and top-seeded LSU 10-4 on Saturday night to win avoid elimination at the Baton Rouge Regional on Sunday night. The Trojans (27-33), making their second NCAA Tournament appearance and first since 2014, can clinch a berth in the super regionals with a win Monday over No. 6 national seed LSU. LSU beat Little Rock 7-0 on Friday and followed Saturday with a 12-0 win over Dallas Baptist to advance to the championship round. The Trojans, who lost 13 of 14 to close the regular season before winning five straight to win the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, exploded for 22 runs Saturday in a win over Rhode Island and beat Dallas Baptist 8-6 in an elimination game earlier Sunday. Steven Milam hit a two-RBI single to cap LSU's three run first inning but Angel Cano hit a two-run home run in the second for the Trojans. Ryan Geck grounded out to lead off the third before Ty Rhoades, Cade Martin and Cooper Chaplain drew consecutive walks to load the bases. Cano fouled off three consecutive two-strike pitches before he hit a bases-clearing double off Chase Shores (5-3), who was immediately replaced by Cooper Williams after allowing four runs in an inning of relief. Starter Noah Burkey gave up three runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings before he was replaced by Brenden Katz (1-0), who pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Malcolm Brown threw 5 1/3 innings and gave up a run on three hits to earn his first save of the season. ___ AP sports: recommended in this topic
