AL/NL Weather & Player Updates

The frigid start to the four-game set between the Dodgers & Rockies saw three inches of snow blanket Coors Field, ushering in a cold evening for the slate of games. In Miami, the Marlins suffered an early exit when third baseman Graham Pauley departed the contest against the Brewers in the seventh inning due to right oblique discomfort. Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners adjusted their roster by reinstating infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder from the paternity list while concurrently placing outfielder Patrick Wisdom on the 10-day injured list due to lingering issues.

American League Offensive Surprises & Rehab Progress

A surprising offensive contribution proved decisive for the New York Yankees as utility player Ryan McMahon, having spent most of the game in the batting cage, was summoned defensively and promptly launched a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning to secure a 4-2 victory. Separately, the team's ace, Gerrit Cole, made his first minor league rehab start for Double-A Somerset, delivering 4⅓ innings where he surrendered three earned runs over 44 pitches as he works back toward the major league mound following his layoff.
