The Colorado Rockies and Seattle Mariners were tied at 1 in the seventh inning Saturday, and the Rockies had two men on and one out when Cuevas came to the plate as the No. 9 hitter. He got the sign for a safety squeeze, but fouled off his first bunt attempt.

After the match, 31-year-old Pique told reporters: “I know that there are many people who are hoping that things don’t go well for me....

He will return, and I have no doubt that the player will re-emerge next season as the wicket-keeping talent that we know he is. We’re missing him right now. Not just for the excellence of his glove work or his pugnacious batting but also for his presence on the field. You know Poynton is there, because you hear him between every ball: shouting, encouraging, energising. Teams need that sort of player, but we will now need to do without him until 2015....

While there was no specified timeline for Banks’ return, the Diva herself has gotten involved by responding to a fan’s social media post. The fan’s post read,” Sasha Banks is now reportedly injured. No specifics on the injury so we aren’t sure how bad it is. Damn… it’s almost like pro wrestling is actually dangerous or something.” Banks, in typical style, posted this reply, “Not these reports again!” While the reply sounds dismissive of the alleged injury, Banks seemed to toy with people’s perception, as she also re-posted a fan’s post that went something like this, “You’re expected to wrestle every single show, if not you’re injured....
