Orioles & Mets Injury News

The Baltimore Orioles activated Félix Bautista after a 14-month absence, while Trey Mancini announced his retirement from baseball. The news gave Baltimore's bullpen a significant late-season boost.

In New York, Mets first baseman Jared Young will miss the remainder of the season with a concussion sustained in a collision. The 31-year-old was resting at home and recovering, leaving the Mets without a key infield bat.

Yankees & Guardians

The New York Yankees placed three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge back on the injured list with a calf strain, and manager Aaron Boone said he was "not going to predict anything" about a timeline. The move complicates New York's push for a playoff berth.

In Cleveland, José Ramírez reached 1,000 career RBIs with a sixth-inning homer in the Guardians' 5-3 win over the Athletics. The milestone drew praise as one of the most "incredible" achievements of his career.

Brewers & Beltran

The Milwaukee Brewers matched a franchise record with their 97th win of the season, further cementing their standing atop the NL Central. The victory ties the club mark set in previous campaigns.

Carlos Beltran, freshly inducted into the team Hall of Fame, said he wouldn't rule out interviewing to become Mets manager but has no current interest in the job. His comments came as speculation swirls around the team's managerial future.

Gambling Trial & Playoff Outlook

Federal prosecutors identified 18 alleged pitches, including one from a 2024 playoff game, in the gambling trial tied to Emmanuel Clase. The details mark a significant development in the case.

With October approaching, analysts broke down the fatal flaws facing contenders, from Milwaukee's power questions to the Dodgers' struggles. Each potential playoff team carries a weakness that could end its season early.
