In addition to becoming the exclusive home of Sunday Night Baseball, NBC Sports will broadcast MLB Sunday Leadoff, “Opening Day” and Labor Day primetime games, the first round of the MLB Draft, the entire Wild Card round of the postseason, and much more. Trey Yesavage (shoulder) Yesavage is expected to make his debut on Tuesday against the Red Sox after missing the start of the season with shoulder inflammation. He’s not likely to go too deep into games right away after totalling 64 pitches in his final rehab start, in which he gave up four runs over 2 1/3 with Triple-A Buffalo.

He’ll be a risky start his first time out against Boston, but the 22-year-old right-hander brings immense upside over the rest of the season. Yesavage's return coincides with Max Scherzer (ankle, forearm) landing on the injured list. Giancarlo Stanton (calf) Stanton was removed from Friday’s game against the Astros with right lower leg tightness.
