CBA Negotiations

Major League Baseball pushing for salary cap as the league and players' association engage in contentious Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations.

Roster Moves

Casey Mize placed on 15-day injured list with right adductor inflammation, further depleting the Tigers' already thin rotation. The move comes as Detroit battles injuries and seeks consistency from their pitching staff. Meanwhile, the Twins designated struggling starter Simeon Woods Richardson for assignment, recalling rookie John Klein as they search for more effective arms in their starting rotation.
