Pitching Returns and Injuries

The Dodgers received a boost as Blake Snell is expected to return to the mound Tuesday against the Royals after his stint on the injured list. Meanwhile, Yankees left‑hander Carlos Rodón will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple‑A Scranton/Wilkes‑Barre on Saturday as he works back from elbow inflammation. The Twins placed ace Joe Ryan on the 15‑day IL with a left glute strain, a blow to a Minnesota rotation already struggling.

Roster Moves and Transactions

The Rangers activated veteran left‑hander Jordan Montgomery from the 60‑day IL and announced he will pitch out of the bullpen. The Mets added infield depth by claiming Gabriel Arias off waivers from the Guardians; he is expected to join the club Saturday night. In Chicago, the White Sox placed catcher Joey Bart on the 10‑day IL with a fractured hand and responded by recalling Edgar Quero from the minors. Longtime Athletics general manager David Forst and the organization have mutually agreed to part ways, ending his three‑decade tenure ahead of the team’s move to Las Vegas, a move announced Friday.

Game Results

The Red Sox extended their winning streak to eight games with a wild 12‑11 victory in 13 innings over the White Sox, as Caleb Durbin’s single scored Nick Sogard to cap the comeback. Phillies left‑hander Cristopher Sanchez became the majors’ first 15‑game winner this season, leading Philadelphia to a 7‑3 win over Washington. In Miami, Ronald Acuña Jr. capitalized on a flyball flub by Marlins outfielders to hit two home runs, and Matt Olson also went deep as Atlanta swept Miami with an 11‑3 romp.

Discipline and Power Rankings

Major League Baseball handed down suspensions after Wednesday’s benches‑clearing incident in Seattle: Mariners reliever Gabe Speier was suspended three games and manager Dan Wilson one game for hitting Detroit’s Gleyber Torres with a pitch. In a broader look around the league, ESPN’s updated power rankings assess every team’s standing following the trade deadline and the first week of August.
