Dodgers' Rotation

Skubal authored a "great outing," striking out 11 while earning his first win as a Dodger after an initial rough patch that saw Los Angeles fall behind 3-0 in the first inning Saturday. The two-time Cy Young Award winner rebounded to lead the two-time defending World Series champs to victory.

Reds & Mariners

Reds outfielder Bleday completed the cycle in his first four at-bats against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night. In Seattle, rookie right-hander allowed three runs in 5⅔ innings in his debut, but the Mariners won 5-4 on Arozarena's walk-off, two-run homer in the ninth.

Injury Report

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton suffered a "moderate grade" left calf strain while rehabbing a right calf strain, putting his season return in jeopardy, manager Aaron Boone revealed. Teammate Weathers, making his 26th start, exited Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays in the fourth inning with left forearm discomfort. Rangers first baseman Burger left Saturday's game after X-rays on his left wrist came back clear following a hit-by-pitch in the third. The Angels placed Schanuel, on the 10-day injured list with a right intercostal strain.

Shohei Update

Two-way superstar Ohtani is "getting there" after acing a 30-pitch live batting practice session Saturday, but no definitive timeline exists for his return to the Dodgers' mound.

Little League Advice

Several MLB stars shared their childhood Little League advice — including a warning against digging holes in the outfield — and noted what wisdom they'd pass along now.
