The Opener Seager Snell Cardinal
Its already a newsworthy morning, with one of MLBs top prospects . Here are three more things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world today: 1. Seager to be re-evaluated: Late last month, the Rangers lost star shortstop to the injured list due to a strained right hamstring. The clubs star came back after just a minimum stint on the shelf. Unfortunately, it appears he didnt come back at full strength. He served as the clubs DH on the day of his activation from the IL and since then has played just four games in eight days. Evidently, Seager is still feeling the effects of his hamstring injury, and reported yesterday that Seager will be re-evaluated today after mi sing yesterdays game due to his hamstring tightening up while playing Saturday. has been filling in as the clubs shortstop on days Seager is unable to play and figures to continue doing so if Seager required another stint on the injured list. 2. Snell visiting with team doctors: has made just two starts in his first season as a Dodger so far due to persistent sorene s in his left
Jonathan Quick Jersey shoulder. The southpaw was expected to return to action late April but instead wound up getting from throwing entirely. In the nearly three weeks since, he has yet to resume throwing. Today, Snell is to meet with team doctors to determine next steps regarding his injury amid continued sorene s in his shoulder. The Dodgers have struggled to patch together their rotation without Snell (as well as , , and others). Despite their impre sive pitching depth, and have been the only consistent performers on the staff. is the only other Dodgers pitcher with even 20 innings as a starter, and though his future outlook remains bright, hes struggled early on in his initial jump to Major League Baseball. Sasaki, and round out a patchwork rotation at the moment. 3. Surging Cardinals go for 2025s longest win streak: The Cardinals opened the offseason by talking about a need to step back and focus on player development. An offseason of inactivity followed. Reliever was the teams only free-agent addition, and the Cards spent most of the winter trying unsucce sfully to trade future Hall of Famer . The 2025 season was billed as a year of transition, creating opportunities for young players and scaling back the payroll. All of that may end up playing out, but if the front office was eyeing a rebuild/retool, the players on the field seem to have other ideas. The Cardinals have rattled off eight straight victories, boosting their record to 22-19 and tying them with the Twins for the longest active streak in the majors right now. Minnesota is off today, but the Cardinals and Phillies square off this evening in Philadelphia at 6:45pm local time. The Cards will send red-hot lefty (1.88 ERA, 27-to-6 K/BB ratio in 28 2/3 innings over his past five starts) to the mound against another impre sive southpaw, , whos been nearly just as good in that same span (2.39 ERA, 28-to-11 K/BB in 26 1/3 frames over his past five turns). The current eight-game win streaks in St. Louis and Minnesota tie those two teams with the Dodgers for the longest streak of the 2025 campaign. If the Cards can rattle off a ninth straight victory tonight, theyll improbably stake a claim to the top winning streak of 2025 in a season where they didnt even appear fully intent on contending.
