Updates from Saturday, May 17

ESPN's Jerry Crasnick has an update on Votto's status:

The darkest timeline has arrived with Community reaching its inevitable end after five incredibly bizarre seasons of television.

The unconventional NBC cult comedy managed to survive through five seasons, a solid run run for a show with poor ratings that constantly defied typical sitcom conventions and expectations. Unfortunately, Dan Harmon's show fell one season shy of its "six seasons and a movie" rallying cry.

There is perhaps no franchise outside of the Chicago Cubs that is more cursed than the Cleveland Indians. Most would agree that Cleveland as a sports city is the most cursed in the entire country. While the city has had small amounts of time in the spotlight, such as when LeBron James came to town for just under a decade. Before LeBron was even born, something much more important to Cleveland sports was brewing. 

We can either feel sorry for the New York Yankees, or we can look them in the eye and be honest with them.

You should have been able to see this coming, guys.

For what's happening right now in The Bronx is indeed not the least bit surprising. The Yankees entered 2014 with an expensive roster with a lot of starry names on it, yes. But due to a combination of old age and painful track records, said roster also had a relatively high likelihood of being ravaged by injuries.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the Miami Marlins have a 20-18 record, good for third place in the National League East. However, they could be losing one of their biggest stars.

The Cleveland Indians haven't gotten off to the best of starts here in 2014. Over the first quarter of the season, the team boasts an 18-20 record, good for third place in the American League Central.

The team's pitching staff has been decent, but the bullpen has done most of the heavy lifting. The starting staff on the other hand, has been wildly inconsistent.

The Cookie Monster knows how to hold an audience's attention.

While doing an interview at the Atlanta Braves-San Francisco Giants game on Monday, the Cookie Monster talked about the baseball talent on Sesame Street. Watch the video to see what big change the Cookie Monster would make to a baseball tradition:

For his entertaining interview, the Cookie Monster was rewarded with—you guessed it—a cookie.

With the 2014 MLB Rule 4 draft less than a month away, it’s time to take a look at the top prospects in this year’s class.

The noticeable lack of impact hitters on board (especially from the college ranks) highlights the pitching-heavy nature of this year’s class, as teams will have an endless list of promising arms to choose from in the early rounds.

Losers of three straight and six of their last 10, the New York Yankees received some more bad news on Tuesday afternoon.     

Carlos Beltran, who left Monday's game after hyper-extending his right elbow in the batting cage between at-bats, has been diagnosed with a bone spur and will need a cortisone shot. 

A quarter of the season is in the books, and most Dodgers fans would agree that their team has played to about a quarter of its potential. 

One of the most popular picks to represent the National League in the World Series this season, Los Angeles began the week just one game over .500.
