Suzuki was an unstoppable force in this one. He started the Cubs’ comeback with a run-scoring double in the third and gave them the lead with a single the following inning. While a bit overshadowed by superstar teammates Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong, Suzuki is in the midst of an incredible season with 23 home runs and an .869 OPS as we near the All-Star break.

Things quickly got dicey for Palencia after Matt Shaw’s error put Angel Martínez on base to begin the ninth inning. Then, a walk and a wild pitch put the tying runs in scoring position before an all fastball, seven-pitch battle between him and Kyle Manzardo concluded with a deep fly ball to end the game. Since taking over closer duties in late May, Palencia has converted 10 consecutive save opportunities.

It looked like this game could get ugly quickly for Imanaga after the Guardians launched three home runs before he could get out of the third inning. Yet, in classic Imanaga fashion, all three were solo shots and were the only hits of the game to that point. All three also came on fastballs right smack dab in the heart of the plate. It’s important to note that he was pulled with just 81 pitches before Carlos Santana came to the plate for the third time. While that’s likely partially due to the Cubs being careful with Imanaga in just his second start back after missing more than seven weeks with a hamstring strain, he only threw more than 90 pitches three total times before the injury. Keep an eye on his workload next time out against the Twins.

Kelly delivered a two-run double off of Gavin Williams in the second inning that extended the Cubs’ early lead to 3-0 and proved to be the difference in the ballgame. He also tacked on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to cap off the scoring in the ballgame. With his two-hit night, the 30-year-old backstop is slashing a respectable .267/.369/.453 with nine homers and 29 RBI in 203 plate appearances on the season.

The injections will keep Alvarez from participating in baseball activities in the coming days. He recently visited with a hand specialist, and the specialist determined there has been “notable progress” in the imaging compared to previous weeks.The 28-year-old was placed on the 60-day injured list, but that was just a procedural move that cleared a spot on the 40-man roster.. That being said, there’s no timetable for when Alvarez will be able to return, and it’d be a surprise if he was back before the All-Star break.

MassLive’s Chris Cotillo reported that the “Red Sox are planning to get Yoshida some ‘light work’ pregame at first base during his rehab assignment.” The team is not switching his position and still views Yoshida as an outfielder or designated hitter. Still, while he’s with Worcester, they are seeing how he responds to the new position to see if it gives him added versatility. Considering Yoshida is just 5'8" and has not played first base before, we would imagine it’s a long shot that he’d get into a game at the position.
