The Yankees waited through an appropriately rainy day of grieving to get back on the diamond. Once they finally did start playing again, they didn’t look like they were out of their recent woes.

A day after he was a late scratch with a sore right hip, outfielder Yoenis Cespedes felt better, but he was still not in the Mets’ starting lineup for their series finale against the Marlins. Cespedes remains day to day, and he could return to the lineup as soon as Monday in Pittsburgh.

The Marlins and Giancarlo Stanton are going through a bit of a balancing act. The mission is to find the best way to get the three-time All-Star going at the plate, but at the same time manage his playing time to keep him available for the long haul.

Xander Bogaerts went hitless on Friday night, snapping his 26-game hit streak and proving once again just how hard it is to beat Joe DiMaggio’s record 56-game run. But on Saturday, Bogaerts rebounded with a 3-for-4 performance in Boston’s win over Toronto, thereby extending the streak of participant “chuckbinsc” to 41 games.

James Shields makes his White Sox debut Wednesday night at U.S. Cellular Field, with Max Scherzer on the mound for the Nationals.

Indians reliever Joba Chamberlain is expected to rejoin the club on Monday when the team begins a 10-game road trip with a four-game set in Seattle.
