A look at what's happening around the majors today:FISH STICKMike Trout tries to homer in his fourth straight game when the Los Angeles Angels play their series finale at Yankee Stadium. The two-time MVP is coming off his first career game with four extra-base hits — and first five-hit performance — on Saturday night. He will face New York righty Masahiro Tanaka (5-2, 4.95 ERA), who has a 1.60 ERA in five lifetime starts against the Angels.Tanaka was initially lined up to pitch against Japanese countryman Shohei Ohtani, but the two-way rookie sensation was pushed back to manage his workload. Instead, it will be Garrett Richards (4-3, 3.31) getting the ball for Los Angeles on his 30th birthday. Richards is 0-4 with an 8.10 ERA in six career games, five starts, against the Yankees. They tagged him for a season-high nine runs — five earned — over 1 2/3 innings in an 11-1 loss to Tanaka at home on April 28.NL MOSTThe defending NL East champion Washington Nationals are 28-22 through 50 games...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner was sharp in his first rehabilitation start since breaking the pinkie on his pitching hand in March, striking out eight while throwing 47 pitches over 3 2/3 hitless innings for Triple-A Sacramento.Bumgarner threw 31 strikes and walked one Saturday night while facing 12 hitters against the Albuquerque Isotopes.The appearance came almost two months to the day of having surgery to insert three pins into his pinkie after injuring the hand in the final game of spring training.Bumgarner's fastball was clocked between 91-93 mph and he effectively mixed pitches in his most extensive work since getting hurt.The 2014 World Series MVP also drew a rousing ovation from the sold-out crowd at Raley Field when he singled to right field leading off the bottom of the third on the first pitch from Albuquerque's Antonio Senzatela.Because Sacramento leaves for a road trip next week, Bumgarner will next pitch for Single-A San Jose on...

He flied out to right to end the inning."It was great to be back, a great win for us and it was exciting," he said. "I'll never forget that first at-bat. That was pretty cool."The 34-year-old Pedroia admitted to some nervousness in the clubhouse before batting practice."Yeah, it's been a long time, a lot of work put into to get to this point," he said. "So, yeah, I'll be a little nervous."Pedroia had cartilage-restoration surgery on his left knee seven months ago. He was not in Boston's opening-day lineup for the first time since 2007.He batted sixth in his return to the Red Sox."I don't want to break up the top two," manager Alex Cora said.

MIAMI (AP) — Marlins third baseman Martin Prado was sidelined Friday night by a left hamstring injury, the latest in a series of leg issues threatening his career.Prado left Miami's game against Washington after he pulled up limping while running out a grounder in the sixth inning."At first I thought it was something minor, but as I passed the base, slowing down, the pain was sharper and sharper," Prado said after the Marlins' 9-5 loss. "They just did an ultrasound and it showed something. There is a significant gap between the fibers and the muscles."Hamstring and knee injuries limited Prado to 37 games last year, and he missed the first month of this season recovering from right knee surgery."It has been a difficult year and a half for me," said the 34-year-old infielder.Prado had hits in his first three at-bats against Nationals ace Max Scherzer, and reached on an error when he was hurt. Miami manager Don Mattingly said Prado's latest injury was especially deflating for the Marlins."That's a tough one to watch, knowing what Martin has been through," Mattingly said. "You feel so much for him."___More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball

NEW YORK (AP) — Shohei Ohtani likely will rejoin the Los Angeles Angel's rotation next week.The 23-year-old rookie, the first two-way player in the major leagues in decades, was on track to start Sunday at Yankee Stadium against countryman Masahiro Tanaka, but the Angels said Thursday that Ohtani will miss the turn as part of workload management."We will wait and see as we get direction from our medical staff and Billy Eppler on when Shohei will be folded back into the rotation," manager Mike Scioscia said Friday, referring to general manager Billy Eppler. "Then he'll throw a light bullpen, then he'll throw a heavier bullpen and then we'll get an idea of when he's ready. But I'm sure it's going to be this next week sometime."Ohtani last pitched Sunday against Tampa Bay, winning his second straight decision and giving up two runs and six hits in a season-high 7 2/3 innings. His 110 pitches were also a season high.Ohtani is 4-1 with a 3.35 ERA in seven starts and is batting .309 with six homers and 19 RBIs in 28 games as a designated hitter. He was 0 for 3 with a walk in Friday's 2-1 loss, hitting an inning-ending groundout against Aroldis Chapman with the potential tying run on second base in the eighth.He had wanted to be on the mound Sunday."Personally, I was looking forward to it, not just pitching against Tanaka but pitching in Yankee Stadium," Ohtani said through a translator. "But it is what it is."___More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball
