Jose Reyes is headed to New York to join the Mets, the club announced Monday. He is expected to be activated today prior to the Mets’ game against the Marlins.

The long holiday weekend might be over, but Major League Baseball’s All-Star fireworks haven’t gone off just yet. The starting-position players for the 87th All-Star Game presented by MasterCard, set for July 12 at Petco Park in San Diego, will be announced on the Esurance All-Star Selection Show at 7 ET tonight on ESPN, prior to the broadcast of the Pirates-Cardinals game. And on Friday at 4 p.m. ET on MLB Network, the winners of the 2016 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote in each league will be revealed.

Starting position players will be unveiled in the Esurance All-Star Selection Show at 7 p.m. ET today on ESPN, prior to the Pirates-Cardinals broadcast.

Two teams jockeying for positioning in the standings will be in direct opposition today as the Astros and Mariners continue their three-game series at Minute Maid Park. This American League West clash — featuring Houston’s Dallas Keuchel and Seattle’s Taijuan Walker — is just one of many intriguing matchups in store for today’s MLB.TV slate, including starts by Madison Bumgarner, David Price and Masahiro Tanaka.

The Blue Jays scored an early advantage in the rematch of last year’s American League Championship Series, and Aaron Sanchez was the main reason. Toronto took the first game between these two teams since last October, 6-2, after Sanchez tossed eight dominant innings on Monday night and the offense rallied for five runs in the bottom of the seventh.

Aaron Sanchez may still end up in the Blue Jays’ bullpen this season, but the budding young starter continues to make that decision a difficult one for Toronto’s brass. Sanchez was brilliant once again on Monday evening at Rogers Centre, working a season-high eight innings of one-run ball for a second time in two starts as Toronto defeated the Royals, 6-2.

Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish threw 42 pitches over two-plus innings in a rehab start for Double-A Frisco against Northwest Arkansas on Monday night.

The Tigers, who placed Jordan Zimmermann on the DL on Monday afternoon, may have lost another starting pitcher to injury on Monday night. Daniel Norris left his start against the Indians in the third inning after straining his right oblique.

The Royals’ Alex Gordon, a two-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove Award winner, threw out Edwin Encarnacion at the plate to end the bottom of the fourth inning at Rogers Centre on Monday night with a laser from deep left field.

Alex Rodriguez’s struggles this season, especially against right-handed pitching, have relegated him to a part-time role.

Matt Harvey may have made an early exit on Monday, but the Mets’ bats heated up throughout the day, and after Yoenis Cespedes’ two-out, two-run double in the eighth inning, New York completed a 8-6 comeback victory over the Marlins.

It’s official: Francisco Mejia owns the longest hitting streak in professional baseball in 2016. The Indians’ No. 8 prospect delivered a single on the second pitch he saw on Monday night to extend his hitting streak to 30 games.

Relying on power, a seldom-tapped offensive source for them, the San Francisco Giants received home runs Monday from Buster Posey and Angel Pagan and proceeded to defeat the Colorado Rockies, 3-1.

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle nearly kept outfielder Gregory Polanco out of Monday’s lineup over concerns about how a left leg injury would affect his mobility. As it turned out, they would only need him to trot.

Juan Nicasio spun a slider down in the strike zone and away from Yadier Molina, saw home-plate umpire Dale Scott call it a third strike to end the eighth inning and walked off the mound, unaware he’d just etched his name into baseball’s history books.

The Phillies seem to have finally unlocked the secrets to their own ballpark.

The Pirates are sending one rookie starter to the disabled list and calling up another to take his place. Right-hander Jameson Taillon was placed on the disabled list Monday afternoon, and Pittsburgh is expected to call up left-hander Steven Brault to start in his place Tuesday night at Busch Stadium.
