Relievers are on their way back, and punch their way down, and Logan Gilbert is an All Star, tell the whole town!
In Mariners news...
- Earning the honors for the first time, Logan Gilbert has been named a 2024 All Star, and will represent the Mariners down in Arlington.

- We could be hearing an update today on the rehab progress of Gregory Santos.
Sounds like the Mariners will make a decision tomorrow on whether to activate Gregory Santos or have him make another rehab outing.

His “stuff was electric again” yesterday at High-A Everett, Scott Servais just said.
- News was also received on Woo.
Unless something unexpected happens, Bryan Woo will likely start a game in Anaheim when his spot in the rotation comes around

Around the league...
- Along with Logan Gilbert, the entire 2024 All Star Game rosters were announced.
- The Hot Stove usually begins with a simmer, and it is the Giants and Reds that have given us our first tiny, slightly warm bubble.
The Giants traded Austin Slater and cash considerations to the Cincinnati Reds. They got LHP Alex Young, a former Giant who has been optioned to Triple-A.

- Anthony Rendon could be activated off the IL.
Anthony Rendon (hamstring) faced live pitching on Friday and Saturday and he could be activated from the IL tomorrow, Ron Washington said. Plan is to start him at third and then DH him the next day. And continue that pattern until he's ready for everyday action at third.

- The Cubs lose a game, lose a reliever.
Chicago Cubs reliever Colten Brewer is going on the 60-day injured list with a fractured left hand after punching a wall in frustration during yesterday’s loss at Wrigley Field.

- Sometimes a message needs to be efficient more than it needs to be elegant, and in this case I agree, this whole thing IS really dumb.
Best sign at today's #Athletics game.
