Around the league...

• Seattle Mariners legend Rowdy Tellez has found a new home with the Texas Rangers.
• It appears that the New York Yankees will be calling up top prospect Cam Schlittler to make his MLB debut at some point during their upcoming series against the Mariners.
• Speaking of the Yankees, a miscue between Anthony Volpe and Aaron Judge between innings last night led to a ball striking Judge in the face, a move that certainly made Volpe more popular with Yankee fans.
• Chicago White Sox legend Bobby Jenks sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 44.
• The Mets are apparently showing early interest in the Pirates starter Mitch Keller, according to Noah Hiles at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A handful of other Pirates were noted for the attention they’re getting from around the league, including Ke’Bryan Hayes, Bryan Reynolds, and David Bednar.
• The Atlanta Braves released outfielder Alex Verdugo yesterday, following the end of Juricskson Profar’s PED suspension.
