With @katiejwoo.bsky.social: Looking at the Dodgers' bullpen in the wake of Edwin Díaz's upcoming elbow surgery, the first real test of the season for the two-time reigning World Series champions.

At an average of 4.571, 2026 ranks 33rd out of 40 for average #RAS.
Much of why has to do with volume of data, however, if we just look at the last 10 years, it ranks 3rd behind 2019 (4.623) and 2021 (5.55). 2021 was an odd year due to COVID, too.

Edwin Díaz reported elbow discomfort yesterday, Dave Roberts said — first time he had done so and first time Díaz said he felt any symptoms. That prompted the MRI.
Roberts declined to name a set closer in Díaz’s absence.
Justin Jefferson spoke for the first time since Kyler Murray’s signing on Monday as Vikings players arrived for Day 1 of the team’s offseason program.
He expressed excitement about the QB competition and the spark Murray brings: “We need that one guy” bit.ly/4ck5scw

On Baseball from Fenway Park: The game was far from over. But it was Greg Weissert's dominant sixth inning that propelled the Red Sox over the Tigers on Monday:

A.J. Brown trade between Eagles and Patriots reportedly “still tracking to happen on or after June 1”

The journey towards improving your fantasy baseball team never stops. Ray Kuhn takes you through some waiver wire options to target.
The Twins carried their red-hot play from over to the start of a new week, but faded in the back half of their home stand as some familiar issues resurfaced to stall their momentum and cool them down. The winning play felt unsustainable and we are seeing why. #twins #minnesota #mntwins

On Baseball from Fenway: The Red Sox lack an identity on offense. Their only consistent trait has been that they're not very good:
www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/19/s...
Garrett Crochet looked better on Sunday through 4 2/3 innings, but then it all unraveled quickly.
“I’m surprised that I’m letting the team down at the level that I am right now.”
Still, he thinks he knows what the problem is
www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...
The optics are not good for Dana Brown, whose team played a man short on Sunday and paid for it, whose pitching staff isn't being helped by the 5.61 ERA from six new arms he acquired this offseason and whose first draft pick had a miserable afternoon - www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...
They used a reliever as a starter and two starters in relief.
They acquired the trio via waivers, free agency and the 12th round of the MLB draft.
They have used 20 arms so far. It’s April 19.
Welcome new era Nats, one shutout in:

Updated this with the news about Lawrence's contract. Makes it very clear that the Giants weren't desperate to keep him around with this offer on the table.
