The Opener: Torres,
Key Points:
- Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is undergoing additional tests for a ribcage bone bruise, which has caused shoulder pain and affected his performance, with his May OPS dropping to .805, the lowest since July 2021.
- Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres returned from an oblique strain and hit a leadoff home run against the Rays, contributing to Detroit's recent wins after also getting key contributions from outfielder Kerry Carpenter.
- Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison struck out a career-high 12 batters over 5 2/3 innings against the Giants and is close to qualifying for the ERA title, forming a dominant pitching duo with Jacob Misiorowski, both boasting sub-2.00 ERAs and high strikeout rates.
- Angels outfielder Jo Adell made a notable play reminiscent of Jose Canseco during a game against the Rockies.
