Nuñez hyperextended a knee stumbling over first base; will be re-evaluated; is perhaps re-evaluating his life.

First in-season transactional note of 2020: Oswalt demoted or perhaps deported to the Alternate Site, a.k.a. Brooklyn. Mets will announce corresponding move once they clear all the baseballs the Braves hit from their paperwork.

Upthread, you'll see three seasons contained no Mets 3B debuts: 1973, 1982 and 1990.

Good news, Corey Oswalt is coming in, negating the likelihood he's the fifth starter.

Brad Brach, now back, did test positive. Brad Brach returned to the Mets on Saturday after missing summer camp following a positive coronavirus test. Brach announced he tested positive when he spoke to reporters via Zoom on Saturday. He said that both he and his wife had symptoms. "At first, I thought it was gonna be a cold. I guess that's kinda the case you hear from everybody. It just felt like a cold, maybe sinus, something like that," said Brach. "When I made the drive to New York, I felt great that day, and then I took my initial test here at the stadium, and as I went back to have lunch, couldn't taste the sandwich I was eating. I thought maybe it was the sandwich I was eating, I thought it was the soda I had. I can just tell that my taste was gone and my smell was gone and that's when I kinda started to take it a little more serious." Brach said both he and his wife's symptoms were "pretty mild," but it was scary as his wife was pregnant with twin boys at the time. But thankfully, the Brach family is all healthy, and he got to be with his wife for the birth of his new sons. "My wife's feeling good, the boys are safe, and everyone is doing alright," said Brach. Brach said despite the positive test, he feels "so far so good," but admitted he may have thrown a few pitches too many. "It was at least nice to know where my limit was at right now," said Brach. "I got it to between 25 and 30 pitches, and, like I said, I just kinda felt good." https://sny.tv/articles/mets-brad-brach-confirms-he-tested-positive-for-coronavirushttps://sny.tv/articles/mets-brad-brach-confirms-he-tested-positive-for-coronavirus

First-place Mets behind first-place Matz. Max Fried for the 0-1 visitors.

Cespedes has a homer. DeGrom has a zero ERA. Rojas has the Mets alone in first. Six months ago, you would have taken it and asked for no details.

Austin Riley was a Brave last year. I remember him from Closing Day.

From mlb.com TORONTO — The Blue Jays have found a home for the 2020 MLB season at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, the club announced Friday. Toronto had been searching for a stadium to play its home games since the Canadian federal government denied their approval to carry out the regular season at Rogers Centre. The club then explored playing at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, which was denied at the state level, and were exploring other options such as Camden Yards in Baltimore before landing on Buffalo, home to their Triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons. “We are extremely grateful to have a home in Buffalo this season, thanks to the openness, creativity, and partnership of the Buffalo Bisons, Major League Baseball and Blue Jays staff, who have worked tirelessly to prepare us for games at Sahlen Field,” said club president and CEO Mark Shapiro in a statement. “This process has no doubt tested our team's resilience, but our players and staff refuse to make excuses – we are determined to take the field on Opening Day today, and for the coming months, with the same intensity and competitiveness that our fans expect.” Buffalo had been on the table throughout the search process to varying degrees as the Blue Jays explored Major League options, and some work remains to get the ballpark to the team's standards. One major need is supplemental lighting, along with added infrastructure to allow for more physical distancing. The Blue Jays will need to “reimagine," as Shapiro put it recently, some of the physical space, which could include the concourse or bleachers. As the Blue Jays prepare their stadium, the first two home games, scheduled for July 29 -30 against the Nationals, will be moved to Washington, an easy switch as the Blue Jays will already be there on July 27 and 28 for the first half of what was originally a home and home. As the timelines for the changes to Sahlen Field are finalized, the Blue Jays will decide between hosting their new home opener either July 31 against the Phillies or August 11 against the Marlins. Further details on the project will come this afternoon from Shapiro. https://www.mlb.com/news/blue-jays-buffalo-home-games-2020https://www.mlb.com/news/blue-jays-buffalo-home-games-2020
