Hall of Fame & Managerial Moves Former Mets manager Bobby Valentine reunited with his famous disguise on the eve of his induction into the Mets Hall of Fame, donning his signature sunglasses and fake mustache while throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Citi Field. This nostalgic moment brought back memories of his 1999 incident where he went incognito after an ejection, a story that still defines him today. Meanwhile, the Giants reassigned third base coach Hector Borg to a new role within their player development staff, while the Cardinals called up catcher Jimmy Crooks from Triple-A to serve as Ivan Herrera's backup, with manager Oliver Marmol planning to give him significant playing time.

Injury Updates & Roster Adjustments A wave of injuries continued across the league as the Tigers placed starter Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list with right adductor inflammation, while closer Kenley Jansen landed on the IL with pelvic inflammation.

The Rangers designated Andrew McCutchen for assignment after the former NL MVP hit just .192 in 37 games, while the Twins designated Simeon Woods Richardson for assignment and recalled rookie John Klein.
