• Ronny Mauricio has lifted his average to .224 with three home runs and recorded his first three-hit game on June 25, bolstering his bid to remain on the roster.

• Sean Manaea is scheduled for a bullpen session this weekend and is on track for his next rehab start early next week as he works back from elbow issues.
