Nathan Lukes (hamstring) resumed hitting in the batting cages on Friday at Blue Jays complex in Dunedin. He’s still around a week out from beginning a running progression.

Jose Berrios will pitch once more in Buffalo, on Sunday, to get his pitch count up, said John Schneider.

That means Trey Yesavage stays on turn and starts vs Twins on Sunday.

Monday at Rays is TBA, could be Eric Lauer, perhaps behind an opener.

The Mets have agreed to a two-year extension with backup catcher Luis Torrens, a source confirms @WillSammon report. Torrens was set to be a free agent after the season. He now sticks around at least through 2028.

Giancarlo Stanton said his calf is improving. Hit in cage yesterday and will hit again tomorrow. Doing workout in pool today. Seems encouraged by progress #yankees

Back on the NY stage, Pete Alonso homered Friday in his first Bronx at-bat. Still, he's off to a slow start and the Orioles aren't playing up to expectations.

Despite all that, Alonso's got one big thing going for him. At least he's not on the #Mets. https://t.co/eQBiKXPEjY
