Injury Updates and Roster Moves
Will Vest entered the mound in the ninth inning, delivering a crisp 1.2‑frame outing that yielded one run on two hits, walked none and fanned two batters, earning his first save of the season.
Kyle Finnegan, who had been used in high‑leverage spots earlier in the week, came in during the sixth against a tough lineup, a move that signals a tentative closer role while the team awaits the return of Kenley Jansen.
Elly De La Cruz was placed on the 10‑day injured list with a hamstring strain, a setback that will sideline the speedy outfielder for an estimated two to four weeks, prompting the club to promote Edwin Arroyo, a player celebrated for his quick first step and reliable glove.
Arroyo, who has been crushing Triple‑A pitching with a .323/.383/.562 slash line and 11 homers, was summoned to fill the vacated spot, giving the roster a fresh injection of speed and defensive versatility.
Meanwhile, Chandler Simpson left the game after a clumsy slide into second base that required stitches to his lip, and Josh Naylor exited with back spasms, both listed as day‑to‑day but expected to be ready for the next series.
Tristan Gray provided the offensive spark, going 1‑for‑3 with a grand slam that helped secure a win over the White Sox on Monday, while Sean Manaea turned in a solid five‑inning start versus the Mariners, allowing just one run on a single hit, walking one and striking out four, his fastball climbing nearly two miles per hour from his previous outing.
