ANAHEIM
http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-joey-rickard-jersey , Calif. (AP) — Seattle pitchers James Paxton and Felix Hernandez will not make
their scheduled starts this weekend against the Los Angeles Angels.Mariners
manager Scott Servais said before Thursday’s series opener that Paxton and
Hernandez did not accompany the team to Anaheim. Paxton, who was slated to go on
Friday, is dealing with pneumonia. Hernandez left last Saturday’s game against
the Yankees with hamstring tightness.Servais did not name a starter for Friday,
saying the Mariners will go with a bullpen day. Right-hander Erasmo Ramirez will
start Saturday, and left-hander Marco Gonzales will pitch Sunday.Servais said he
expects Paxton to be able to return sometime during the last two weeks of the
season. The left-hander, who pitched a no-hitter on May 8 at Toronto, is 11-6
with a 3.83 ERA. His career high for wins is 12, set last season. NEW YORK (AP)
— With shoulder-length dreadlocks and a well-crafted beard, Andrew McCutchen
spent his 20s forcing the baseball spotlight to shine bright on small-market
Pittsburgh.Now, a clean-cut McCutchen is coming cross-country to one of the
sport’s grandest stages.“Just gonna take me a sec to get used to my freshly
shaved face
Pedro Alvarez Jersey ,” he joked on Twitter.The playoff-contending New York Yankees acquired the former NL MVP from the San Francisco Giants on Friday
for two prospects. The teams announced the deal on the last day for trades to be
done for players to be eligible for the postseason. McCutchen is expected to
arrive in time to debut Saturday against Detroit, when he’ll play right field,
filling in for the injured Aaron Judge.“We’re getting a really good player,”
manager Aaron Boone said, adding that “I think his reputation precedes him. This
is as high a character person as we have in our game and I know he’ll fit well
in our room.”McCutchen already knows one of his new teammates well — Neil
Walker, who played with the then-long-haired McCutchen in the minor leagues,
then joined him in helping the Pirates end a 20-year playoff drought in 2013.
McCutchen won that season’s NL MVP Award.“I saw him for the three years that we
made September, postseason pushes, elevate his game to the next level,” Walker
said. “Not that he needed to do that

him. That’s fully what I expect when he steps in here.
