The Yankees began looking toward the future on Saturday, calling up infielder/outfielder Tyler Austin and outfielder Aaron Judge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Every lineup, every day, as they are made public by the clubs.

So you can ask everyone, “Did you know?”

Angels GM Eppler talked with Tracy Ringolsby about his baseball education in this week’s Q&A.

Nationals right-hander Jonathan Papelbon has requested his release, and the club is figuring out the best way to cut ties with its former closer, ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick reported Saturday morning. The Nationals have not confirmed the report.

The answers are not “Mr. Met’s children.”

A three-run first inning was all the Pirates would need in a 5-1 win over the Dodgers that saw homers from Andrew McCutchen and Jordy Mercer.

The Rangers had another long day at the ballpark but jumped out quickly against the Tigers and held on for an 8-5 victory at Globe Life Park on Friday. Rangers starter Yu Darvish allowed four runs, two earned, in 6 2/3 innings to get his first victory since June 3.

The Tigers’ injury woes continued Friday with shortstop Jose Iglesias, who became the third member of the Tigers’ everyday starting lineup in the last seven days to land on the 15-day disabled list.

The final afternoon of Alex Rodriguez’s Yankees career included a slow drive along Broadway through the neighborhoods of Harlem, during which the slugger said that he reflected on his 12 seasons commuting to his office in The Bronx. Before the Yankees closed out a 6-3 win over the Rays, Rodriguez said that he seemed to be handling the emotions of the day well, launching several batting-practice home runs on a steamy afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

One by one, Royals players stopped by a little cage perched on a coffee table inside the visitors’ locker room before Friday’s game against the Twins at Target Field.

Mark Trumbo sent a towering blast into the left-field bleachers for his 33rd home run and the Orioles collectively jumped on Matt Cain early, generating five runs on 11 hits in the first five innings as part of a convincing 5-2 series-opening win Friday over the Giants at AT&T Park.

Yonder Alonso’s tie-breaking, two-run single in the sixth gave the A’s the lead for good Friday over the Mariners. Khris Davis hit a two-run home run, his 28th. Joe Wieland took the loss in his Seattle debut and Kyle Seager hit a home run for the Mariners.

A day after the Brewers made history by scoring in every inning they came to bat, Homer Bailey kept those same bats quiet, and the Reds’ four-run seventh provided enough cushion for a 7-4 win over the Crew at Miller Park on Friday night.

For a man who has played more than 10,000 innings at third base in his career, Alex Rodriguez was still enthusiastic to man the hot corner one more time.

It is often said that a team runs away with a win. On Friday night, the Indians did so in a literal sense, equaling a franchise record with eight stolen bases to help claim a 13-3 victory over the Angels at Progressive Field.

The Astros were looking to make amends Friday night after dropping three of four to the Blue Jays last week, and it was their youth that got the job done. Rookie right-hander Joe Musgrove tossed seven strong innings and outfielder Teoscar Hernandez homered in his big league debut to lead Houston to a 5-3 victory over Toronto in the series opener at Rogers Centre.
