Friday links!

Good morning, foLLks, and happy Friday!

In Mariners news:

• It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the M’s, but it could have been much worse had it not been for one Cal Raleigh.

• Colt Emerson got some love from Baseball America.

Around the league:

• The White Sox are calling up top catching prospect Kyle Teel, one of the jewels of the Garrett Crochet trade with Boston.
• The Astros have signed old friend Omar Narváez to a minor league deal.
• Speaking of old friends, the Royals inked righty Justin Dunn to a minor league contract.
• Casey Lawrence has a position player counterpart so far this year: former Mariner Cooper Hummel has once again elected free agency after being designated for assignment for the third time this season.
• After each serving a one-year suspension for betting on baseball, MLB has reinstated four players. A’s reliever Michael Kelly and Diamondbacks lefty Andrew Saalfrank are two who will be rejoining their big league teams.
• Kumar Rocker made his return to the Rangers’ rotation on Wednesday, and it didn’t go so swell, as he allowed five runs across just 3.1 innings. Texas has optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.
• White Sox fans, rejoice! But unfortunately, patience will still be needed.

• Per Rob Manfred, MLB will officially propose the automated ball-strike system we saw in Spring Training for the 2026 season. ($)
