Injury Updates
The Red Sox placed Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation retroactive to May 25, while the Tigers sidelined closer Kenley Jansen with pelvic inflammation. The Dodgers added Enrique Hernandez to their injured list with a significant oblique tear and will place Teoscar Hernandez on the IL Friday, creating depth concerns for the team as they approach the season's midpoint.
Pitching Performances
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole delivered another dominant start in his return from Tommy John surgery, though he tempered expectations by noting it's still just his second start back. Cardinals pitcher Dustin May carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning before the Brewers rallied for a 2-1 victory, while Phillies starter Cristopher Sánchez extended his scoreless streak to 44⅔ innings, breaking a franchise record previously held by Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander.
Hitting Highlights
Rookie outfielder Carson Benge enjoyed a breakout game after shaving his mustache, delivering clutch singles in the Mets' win over the Braves, demonstrating that sometimes baseball's solutions are as simple as a grooming change.
League Affairs
As the MLB released updated power rankings showing increased consistency at the top with one AL club reaching its highest ranking of the season, the Players Association made the first official proposal in collective bargaining talks with MLB, while college baseball regionals began with teams loaded with top-level talent competing for tournament berths.
