Injury Updates

The MLB injury report was busy over the past 24 hours. The Mariners placed right-hander Emerson Hancock on the 15-day injured list with a strained left adductor, retroactive to August 29. The Twins put outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day IL due to a right hip impingement. Cardinals rookie infielder JJ Wetherholt landed on the 10-day IL with wrist tendinitis. The Yankees received encouraging news on rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr., who avoided structural damage to his right knee after exiting Saturday's doubleheader with discomfort, though he could still land on the IL. Nationals starter Cade Cavalli left Saturday's game after a grounder struck his ankle. The Yankees also monitored Lombard's knee closely after he was lifted from the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Game Results & Performances

The Rays completed a sweep of the Padres with a 5-4 win, as Jonny DeLuca homered off Mason Miller to tie it in the ninth and Jorge Mateo singled in the winning run in the 11th. The Yankees routed the Red Sox 16-1 in a game marred by controversy after Boston's Ceddanne Rafaela had a disputed no-catch upheld on replay, leaving the Red Sox furious and unraveled. Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong slugged three home runs against the Reds, bolstering his NL MVP case. Juan Soto delivered the go-ahead RBI single in his return to the Mets' lineup, leading New York to a 6-2 win over the Astros.

Milestones & Returns

Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer turned in a "vintage" performance, fanning 10 and passing Gaylord Perry for ninth place on the career strikeout list. Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio reached 20 homers in his third straight season, joining an elite club of players to accomplish the feat before turning. The Red Sox welcomed back Roman Anthony and Trevor Story, who rejoined the team for Sunday's finale after lengthy injury absences. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani remains "not 100%" with lingering left knee discomfort, and the team is unsure when he'll return to the rotation.
