This is only the beginning.

*Sad trombone*

Continued left oblique soreness has delayed Jose Reyes’ Minor League rehab assignment a day or two, according to Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, eliminating any chance that Reyes returns from the disabled list before the weekend.

A first-inning ground-rule double off Indians starter Josh Tomlin extended Jayson Werth’s on-base streak to 40 games.

From this point forward, each Ichiro Suzuki hit moves him closer to more MLB milestones. On Wednesday, in the Marlins’ 1-0 loss to the Giants at Marlins Park, the 42-year-old collected two more hits, giving him 3,002 in his 16-year big league career.

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

Indians manager Terry Francona was back at Nationals Park on Wednesday, feeling better and in good spirits a day after experiencing chest pain.

Rich Hill won’t start Friday night, and Brandon McCarthy is questionable for Saturday, as problems with the Dodgers’ veteran starting pitchers continue.

Hits didn’t need to come in bunches for Brandon Crawford on Wednesday afternoon at Marlins Park. All the San Francisco shortstop needed was one swing to make the difference, as his home run to lead off the fourth inning was enough for the Giants to edge the Marlins, 1-0, and take two of three in the series.

Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was not in the starting lineup Wednesday for the third consecutive game because of a stiff neck.

Two Cy Young Award winners — Seattle’s Felix Hernandez and Detroit’s Justin Verlander — will meet on the diamond today as the Tigers and Mariners wrap a three-game series at Safeco Field.

“After I saw the first swing, I said ‘I can work with that.'”

Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager is every bit as good as advertised. That’s the bottom line with the National League Rookie of the Year competition. That’s saying something, too, because the reports were off the charts before Seager had even played his first Major League game.

“OOOOOOO!”

This year, the discussion for the AL Rookie of the Year Award is not simplified to a single position, and it’s not loaded with guys who were darlings of the prospect-ranking world, either.

Kyle Seager hit a line drive into left field to score Nelson Cruz and tie the game. It was the second time Seager had knotted the score on Tuesday night. The Mariners went on to beat the Tigers, 6-5, in 15 innings on Mike Zunino’s walk-off sac fly.

The Mariners came back twice on Tuesday night, once in the late innings, and once in the really late innings, and beat the Tigers, 6-5, on a walk-off sac fly by Mike Zunino in the 15th.
