The Mets, getting just one hit off Blake Snell, could not summon any offense or even pose as a viable threat in their 2-0 loss to the Padres at Petco Park.

Third-base coach Phil Nevin rejoined the Yankees for the first time since May 9 and said he lost 22 pounds and was diagnosed with a bacterial infection in his kidneys and a staph infection while dealing with COVID-19.

As of Friday, 21 weeks after the club acquired him in a trade with Cleveland, the outlook on Carlos Carrasco's Mets debut was blurry at best.

With the offense stagnant, the Yankees made a move to try and shake things up.

Pete Alonso was out of the lineup on Thursday for the team's important series opener against the Padres. Not long after the lineup was posted, Mets fans panicked.

The White Sox have activated rookie outfielder Andrew Vaughn from the COVID-19 injury list.

Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull, who left Friday's start vs. the White Sox after just 56 pitches, has been placed on the IL with a strained right forearm.

Since Aaron Boone continues to insist his real Yankees are going to start showing up any day now, every succeeding series is becoming a referendum for Hal Steinbrenner's $204 million juggernaut.

Detroit Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull left Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox after the fourth inning because of tightness in his right forearm.

"I think ultimately, it's going to come down to, can he get back to that point of where he's ready to pitch and be effective," Aaron Boone said.
