McLean leads a not-so-deep 6 on Thursday
Apr 9 2026
Today's Overview/Schedule/Weather: Its a short-slate travel day in Major League Baseball. Six contests are on the docket; half of those are daytime affairs. Chilly (albeit slightly warmer than the last couple days) weather is expected for the two New York venues (ATH@NYY, ARI@NYM) and at Target Field in Minneapolis (DET@MIN). ERA and WHIP Ratings are tamped down on this day; an overall slim-pickings Thursday when it comes to quality mound options.
Notable Starts:
Nolan McLean is lined up for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 24-year-old has now made 10 career starts, and he owns a 2.16 ERA (0.92 ERA at Citi Field). The Snakes make good contact but own a punch-less .595 OPS since April 1.
Eduardo Rodriguez is tabbed...
