Longtime Marlins left-hander Adam Conley has joined Brett Eibner, Brian Navarreto, Josh D. Smith and Jesús Tinoco in DFA limbo...More coverage of the rumors here.

Baseball Savant

Notes: The Mets suffered a gut-wrenching sweep against the Yankees during Sunday’s doubleheader, using most of their key relievers in the process. If deGrom repeats his performance from last week, they’re very likely to win this contest anyway. It will be critical to get his pitch count elevated.

How to watch/listen/follow

The first pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET. Watch on FOX Sports Florida and via MLB.TV or listen on 940 WINZ.
