Roster Moves & Injuries

The Mets demoted David Peterson from their rotation despite his All-Star status in 2025, replacing him with Sean Manaea as the team continues to shuffle its pitching staff. Meanwhile, the White Sox placed Munetaka Murakami on the injured list for 4-6 weeks with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, a significant loss for their lineup as the slugger was expected to be a key contributor this season.

Injuries continued to plague several teams across the league, with the Dodgers reshaping their bench after placing Teoscar Hernández on the injured list with a "significant" oblique tear, while also reassigning third base coach Hector Borg and naming Wotus as interim coach. The Tigers placed Casey Mize on the 15-day IL with right adductor inflammation, further depleting their already thin rotation.

The Philadelphia Phillies recalled a player after placing Aaron Nola on the paternity list, while the Pirates kept Konnor Griffin out of the lineup due to forearm soreness. The Marlins lost Eury Pérez for approximately two months with a leg injury sustained during stretching exercises in the dugout.

Several teams made pitching moves, with the Twins designating Simeon Woods Richardson for assignment and recalling rookie John Klein, while also placing left-hander Kendry Rojas on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation. The Rangers designated Andrew McCutchen for assignment after he hit just .192 in 37 games with the team.

Player Performance Highlights

Fernando Tatis Jr. ended his MLB-worst drought by hitting a 451-foot solo homer against the Nationals, providing a much-needed spark for the struggling slugger. Meanwhile, Cristopher Sánchez extended his scoreless streak to 44⅔ innings, passing Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander to set the Phillies franchise record.

Yordan Alvarez homered twice for the second consecutive night, with his second blast breaking a 3-3 tie to give the Astros a 4-3 victory over the Rangers. Shohei Ohtani lamented his performance despite hitting a leadoff home run and helping the Dodgers position themselves for a combined no-hitter against the Angels.

The Mariners' Cal Raleigh took his first swings off a tee since being placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain, marking a positive step in his recovery process. Dustin May carried a no-hitter into the eighth for the Cardinals before the Brewers rallied for a 2-1 victory.

Gerrit Cole dazzled in his return from Tommy John surgery with another dominant performance, though he was quick to emphasize that it's still early in his comeback with just two starts under his belt. The Pirates' Jared Jones prepared to make his first MLB start since 2024 against the Twins.

League News & Developments

The MLB labor negotiations began with the league pushing for a salary cap while the players' association remains strongly opposed, setting the stage for what could be a contentious Collective Bargaining Agreement battle. On a brighter note, Lee Mazzilli and Bobby Valentine were inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame together, representing two different eras of the franchise's history.
