News about Jeimer Candelario

The New York Yankees have kicked off a road trip in disgusting style, as their hopes of making the playoffs fade. With the Angels up to bat leading 6-3, a slim chance of a comeback was shattered by the eighth inning. Tommy Kahnle of the Yankees scored a runner from second on a ground rule double, effectively ending any chance of a win. When Kahnle hurled his glove at a cooling fan in the dugout, destroying it, he may have pitched his most accurate pitch of the night.

We've arrived halfway through the 2023 Major League Baseball season, and the old rules haven't been followed. The Cardinals and Padres are a mess, the Marlins and Orioles are raging into the playoffs, and anyone who made a pre-season forecast of the Mets or Yankees is rubbing their eyes in disbelief. Two and a half months remain for teams to sort themselves out for the pennant chase, and as the regular season hits pause and MLB heads to Seattle for the All-Star Break, Mail Sport grades all 30 teams on their 2023 campaign so far:

Eury Perez, the Miami Marlins starter, pitched five strong innings for his first major league victory, and the Washington Nationals swept the Washington Nationals 5-3 on Thursday afternoon. Perez made his MLB debut on Friday, becoming the youngest pitcher in team history at 20 years and 27 days. In large part due to his massive size, he has been one of the most awaited-up prospects in recent memory. Despite being only 20 years old and weighing around 220 pounds, Perez stands at a mighty 6-foot-8 and weighs in at 220 pounds.
