Injury Updates & Roster Moves

The Diamondbacks suffered a scare as left hamstring tightness forced Lourdes Gurriel Jr. from Friday's game, while the Dodgers' Max Muncy exited after a pitch struck his right wrist. The Angels placed Yoán Moncada on the 10-day IL with right knee inflammation and optioned Josh Lowe to Triple-A, and the Cubs placed Matt Shaw on the IL with back tightness, calling up Pedro Ramirez. The Yankees, meanwhile, activated José Caballero from the injured list, with Anthony Volpe getting work at second base for infield depth. The Reds' offense received a lift when Eugenio Suárez activated from the 10-day IL.

Player Performances

Jackson Holliday sneaked a 337-foot homer under the foul pole to spark a four-run inning in the Orioles' 7-4 win. After a 569-day absence following elbow reconstruction, Gerrit Cole tossed six scoreless in his return for the Yankees. The Phillies' Kyle Schwarber returned from illness as their DH and second batter. In a pitcher's duel, Gavin Williams matched Cristopher Sanchez with eight shutout frames before Kyle Manzardo delivered a pinch-hit homer to give the Guardians a 1-0 victory.

Team Transactions & Discipline

The Mets designated Craig Kimbrel for assignment after a brief, rocky stint. Seattle's farm system absorbed a blow as minor leaguer Jose Zerpa received an 80-game suspension for a Stanozolol positive. The Cubs' call-up of Ramirez followed Shaw's IL move, while the Angels' roster shuffle saw Moncada go on the IL and Lowe demoted. The Yankees' activation of Caballero added infield flexibility.

Stadium & Business

The Athletics' $2 billion Las Vegas stadium project remains on schedule for 2028, with the lower bowl structure now taking shape. The franchise continues its transition from Oakland, with the domed venue on the Strip set to open before the 2028 season.
