As June continues to roll on, the call-ups are continuing as Mike Zunino was called up by the Seattle Mariners from Triple-A Tacoma.

Got it confirmed from someone who would know: Mike Zunino has gotten the callup, catching a plane from Vegas to Seattle this afternoon

As Sports Illustrated boasted on the cover of their 2003 Major League Baseball preview issue, you can't have too much pitching.

A full decade later, emboldened by the success of those American League championship seasons, the Yankees are taking the same approach to their current roster.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Jon Lester is 17-5 with a 2.83 ERA in the month of June during his career. This is important to consider when making your MLB picks Tuesday, as Lester prepares to face the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.

Over the weekend, MLB.com released the most recent tallies for MLB All-Star fan voting. Many positions look to be locked up, but a number of players are still making their cases for why they should get the nod.

There are a lot of players worthy of being selected to the 2013 MLB All-Star Game, but not all of them will make it.

Thirty-three players make the AL All-Star team, and 33 players make the NL All-Star team. That means that a mere 66 players make the initial team, which is extremely tiny when you consider that 750 players are currently on active MLB rosters.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Ian Stewart opened up on Twitter last night, causing many to shake their heads and wonder if his time with the Cubs organization is nearing an end.

It started when a fan asked Stewart, who is making $2 million this year, if he would be coming back to Chicago anytime soon. He replied, "Probably never," which started a slew of fans and critics to tweet back.

He would later say: “I meant they might as well release me since I have no shot at a call-up.”

Talk about desperate.

In the midst of an absolutely horrible start to the season for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cuban sensation Yasiel Puig has brought the focus back to Hollywood for all the right reasons thanks to his electrifying start.

On the off chance you haven't seen or heard what he has been doing, Puig, 22, has been white-hot since being called up from Double-A Chattanooga on June 3 before a series against San Diego.

Make it 250 for Andy Pettitte.
