Some runs would be nice. Please note the term runs is plural. .

There is a little bit of news, Jose Berrios is feeling soreness, which, since he has a stress fracture, isn’t a huge surprise.

Shane Bieber is close to being ready to face live batters. It is like he’s at the start of spring training, so it will be a month before he’s back (all going well).

Tonight’s lineup with no Vlad, for the first time this year. I suppose he can have a game off every 36. But Springer is back and hitting at the top of the lineup.
