One of Stromans Mets teammates, fellow righty Jared Hughes, has been on the hurt list given that July 15. Prior to his bout with the virus, Hughes appeared as if he d earn a season-opening lineup spot after the Mets signed him to a significant league contract.
The Rays have actually gotten good news on a couple of their outfielders who, due to the fact that of their own favorable COVID tests, have missed out on the season so far. Manager Kevin Cash indicated Meadows could return sometime during the Rays Aug. 4-9 homestand.
The Red Sox, having actually gotten bad production from their patchwork rotation hence far, will give righty Zack Godley a chance as a starter, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald tweets. Godley had an incredibly motivating long-relief look Monday, though, as he tossed four scoreless, four-hit innings with seven strikeouts versus no strolls in a loss to the Mets.

Mets right-hander Marcus Stroman is making development in his healing from the left calf tear he suffered last week. Stroman has returned to throwing “full tilt” bullpen sessions, manager Luis Rojas said (via Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News). Pitching coach Jeremy Hefner included that Stroman is still not able to run, so it remains uncertain when hell be in line for his season launching. The earlier the much better for the Mets, for whom Stroman is an essential complement to ace Jacob deGrom. From his own standpoint, Stromans in for a rather crucial season with his first journey to totally free firm scheduled for the winter.
