MLB en bref : James Paxton est (déjà) blessé | Bradley Zimmer à Philly

James Paxton lasted just two batters in his first game since 499 days, leaving his rehab start with lat tightness. The Red Sox hope it's minor, though at this late stage, any setback puts contributing in 2022 in jeopardy.https://t.co/C2s2aTGR4V

Chase Utley is moving to England to spread the gospel of baseball as MLB’s ambassador to the United Kingdom. He’s already converted one Brit into a Phillies diehard. Now @UKPhillies just wants to share a pint with Utley. https://t.co/cRoI9RJSb7

Reese McGuire has more plate appearances (27) with the Red Sox than Christian Vázquez (22) does with the Astros. Why did the Astros trade for Vázquez to be their backup?
