    Here’s a look at what’s happening around the major leagues today:

    STILL HERE

    Mets star Jacob deGrom is expected to start at Miami. He was a late scratch Friday night because of what the team called a family issue – no doubt [url=http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/clay-matthews-jersey]Clay Matthews Packers Jersey[/url] , many fans around the country thought deGrom might’ve been traded when they saw the ace had been pulled. DeGrom (5-3) leads the majors with a 1.69 ERA. He’ll face Marlins righty Pablo Lopez, making his big league debut.

    NO SALE

    Red Sox ace Chris Sale will try to extend his hex over slugger Aaron Judge when they meet at Yankee Stadium in the middle matchup of a three-game series. Sale has struck out the New York slugger more than any other pitcher – Judge has fanned 10 times in 15 at-bats against the lefty. Judge has three hits, including a home run [url=http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/mike-mcglinchey-jersey]Mike McGlinchey 49ers Jersey[/url] , off Sale.

    CLOSE

    Bartolo Colon tries for his 245th career victory, which would tie Dennis Martinez for the most by a pitcher from Latin America. The 45-year-old Colon (4-5, 4.72 ERA) starts at home for Texas against White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon.

    MONTH OF MAHLE

    Reds rookie Tyler Mahle (6-6) tries to complete an undefeated month when he faces the first-place Milwaukee Brewers. The 23-year-old righty is 3-0 in five June starts with a 2.30 ERA. He’s been Cincinnati’s best young pitcher [url=http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/jason-witten-jersey]Jason Witten Jersey Womens[/url] , leading NL rookies in wins. Milwaukee goes with Jhoulys Chacin (6-3).

    COULD BE

    Washington righty Jeremy Hellickson (2-0, 2.28) is expected to return from the disabled list to start at Philadelphia. He has been sidelined since June 4 with a right hamstring strain. He’s hoping for the same burst the Nationals enjoyed Friday night at Citizens Bank Park, when they hit seven homers in a 17-7 romp.

    The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent quarterback Josh Johnson to compete for the backup position.

    The team on Monday also officially announced the signing of cornerback Shareece Wright [url=http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/tarik-cohen-jersey]Authentic Kyle Long Jersey[/url] , who said last week he agreed to join the Raiders, and the details of a trade agreed to over the weekend that sent kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson to New England.

    The Raiders will get the 159th overall pick in next month’s draft from the Patriots in exchange for Patterson and the 210th overall pick.

    Wright spent last season in Buffalo, where he had one interception and five passes defensed in 12 games.

    Johnson is an Oakland native and was drafted by Tampa Bay in Raiders coach Jon Gruden’s last season there in 2008. Johnson has spent time with 10 teams and started five games. He has completed 96 of 177 passes for 1 [url=http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/tyron-smith-jersey]Tyron Smith Jersey Elite[/url] ,042 yards, five touchdowns and 10 interceptions and a 57.7 passer rating.

    Johnson hasn’t thrown a pass in the NFL since 2011 and will compete with Connor Cook to become Derek Carr’s backup.
