Transactions & Roster Moves

The Brewers designated veteran reliever Bryse Wilson for assignment and called up Lyon Richardson from Triple-A Nashville to bolster the bullpen. The skidding White Sox, mired in a four-game losing streak, are promoting two pitching prospects from Triple-A Charlotte. Meanwhile, the Athletics and longtime general manager David Forst have mutually agreed to part ways, ending his three-decade tenure with the franchise.

Injuries & Returns

Blue Jays outfielder George Springer was a late scratch Saturday against the Phillies due to left shoulder tightness, though manager John Schneider downplayed the severity. Mets rookie Carson Benge exited Friday’s win over the Pirates with left wrist soreness after a sliding catch; X-rays came back negative. Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday as he recovers from left elbow inflammation. Dodgers ace Blake Snell is expected to return from the injured list Tuesday against the Royals. Yankees legend Mariano Rivera returned to the field at Old-Timers’ Day, one year after tearing his Achilles at the same event.

Game Highlights & Results

Braves interim manager Walt Weiss was ejected Saturday after vehemently arguing a balk call against Chris Sale, calling it a “terrible call.” Twins shortstop Kaelen Culpepper made a memorable MLB debut, homering in his second plate appearance to spark a comeback victory. The Dodgers’ losing streak reached seven games after rookie Ryan Waldschmidt crushed a two-run walk-off homer against closer Edwin Díaz, giving Arizona a 4-3 win. Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle fanned a career-high 14 over six innings, and Wilyer Abreu drove in three runs as Boston won its ninth straight. Finally, Phillies icon Chase Utley was inducted into the team’s Wall of Fame, celebrated as a six-time All-Star and 2008 World Series champion.
