We were assuming Strider was done after five innings and 85 pitches, but Brian Snitker sent him back out for the sixth. He went on to give up a homer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and walk Anthony Santander before being lifted. Mostly looking like the same pitcher he was two years ago, Strider ended up with five strikeouts, 13 whiffs and a 28% CSW today. He averaged 95.4 mph with his fastball and topped out at 97.9 mph. He final strikeout today was his 500th in 334 2/3 innings as a major leaguer. That would be some sort of record for quickest to get there by a starting pitcher, though 37 of Strider’s have come in relief. Strider will face the Cardinals next.

It sounds like a precautionary measure. There should be an update on his status prior to Thursday’s series finale out in Los Angeles.

That’s the first homer for Paris since April 9 when he went deep twice against Tampa Bay and caused everyone to lose all sense of rational thought. The 23-year-old did also single and walk to improve his on-base percentage to .311,, while the homer bumps his slugging mark to .378. There is long-term upside in Paris with flashes that suggest he can be a fantasy option. Fantasy managers should still absolutely looking elsewhere for options up the middle.

While the Yankees won this game on a walk-off in the 10th inning, Grisham’s game-tying home run in the eighth was the biggest moment. He came on as a pinch-hitter for Jorbit Vibas against the usually stout Jason Adam and smashed a two-strike changeup into the right field seats. This clutch shot will only continue to push Grisham’s playing time in the right direction after he just started eight of the last 10 games, hit either first or second in each, and already has 10 homers in 31 games played this season.

The Yankees entrusted Williams with the all important 10th inning and the inherited ghost runner on second base after their dramatic comeback. While he loaded the bases and had some tense moments, he left the inning unscathed and opened the door for them to win it right after. It should be noted that Luke Weaver came on for what were the most important outs of this game at the time, after Ian Hamilton walked two to begin the eighth inning and Weaver allowed both of those inherited runners to score. He was called upon as the fireman though and will likely get the next save opportunity. Still, this was a massive step in the right direction for Williams.
