Trade Deadline Impact

The prospects moved at the deadline are ranked, with several headlining deals. A post-deadline awards analysis dubs one team "the worst money could buy" after its sell-off. Returning players from the IL, like Blake Snell and Carlos Rodón, could swing races. The Padres quickly signed Austin Hays after the deadline, and he went deep in his first Padres at-bat. The Mets claimed infielder Gabriel Arias off waivers, adding depth. The Rangers promoted Jonah Bride and optioned Alejandro Osuna, while ace Jacob deGrom – who told the front office he did not want to be traded – struck out nine over five scoreless innings in a 5-1 win over the Orioles. The Athletics and longtime GM David Forst mutually parted ways as the franchise prepares to relocate to Las Vegas.

Injury Report

The Brewers placed shortstop Cooper Pratt on the 10-day IL with a strained right hamstring, testing their infield depth. Kyle Stowers left the Marlins’ win early with a left hamstring injury and will undergo further evaluation. Reds right-hander Hunter Greene will have season-ending elbow surgery for a partially torn ligament, ending his 2026 campaign. The Rays placed Griffin Jax on the 15-day IL with right elbow discomfort. Phillies righty Aaron Nola suffered a bruised right knee after being hit by a line drive but is day-to-day. Blue Jays outfielder George Springer was scratched with left shoulder tightness, though the team is not concerned. Mets rookie Carson Benge exited with left wrist soreness after a sliding catch; X-rays were negative. Twins ace Joe Ryan went on the 15-day IL with a left glute strain. The White Sox recalled catcher Edgar Quero after Joey Bart was placed on the IL with a fractured finger.

Game Highlights

The Dodgers ended a seven-game losing streak with a 2-1, 10-inning victory over the Diamondbacks. The skid began with a walk-off homer by Arizona’s Ryan Waldschmidt against closer Edwin Díaz. The Tigers received an electric boost from Jackson Jobe, who made his first big league start in over 14 months after Tommy John surgery and led an 8-0 shutout of the Giants. The Red Sox saw their 10-game winning streak halted by the Athletics 7-3, but earlier they rallied for a 12-11, 13-inning victory over the White Sox to push their streak to eight. Payton Tolle fanned a career-high 14 in six innings during a rout of the Athletics. Twins shortstop Kaelen Culpepper hit a home run in his second MLB plate appearance to spark a comeback. Ronald Acuña Jr. launched two homers – including one aided by a Marlins outfield misplay – as the Braves swept Miami. Phillies lefty Cristopher Sanchez became the first 15-game winner in MLB this season. Braves ace Chris Sale was ejected by umpire Dan Merzel before throwing a pitch, still fuming over a balk call the previous day, but Atlanta still beat the Yankees 2-1.

Milestones & Celebrations

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson set an MLB record for his position with his 111th consecutive errorless game, breaking Mike Bordick’s mark. Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer passed Walter Johnson for 10th place all time in strikeouts after fanning four against the Phillies, giving him 3,516. The White Sox retired Ozzie Guillén’s No. 13 jersey in a pregame ceremony, with the former manager and shortstop expressing gratitude. The Phillies inducted Chase Utley into their Wall of Fame, celebrating the six-time All-Star and 2008 World Series champion. Yankees legend Mariano Rivera returned to the field at Old-Timers’ Day after tearing his Achilles tendon during last year’s event.

Roster Moves & Transactions

The Brewers designated reliever Bryse Wilson for assignment and called up Lyon Richardson from Triple-A. The Rangers activated left-hander Jordan Montgomery from the 60-day IL, and he will work out of the bullpen. The White Sox are calling up two pitching prospects – Smith and McDougal – from Triple-A Charlotte as they skid. The Mariners had reliever Gabe Speier suspended three games and manager Dan Wilson one game after Speier hit Gleyber Torres with a pitch in a brawl. The Dodgers expect left-hander Blake Snell to return from the IL to start Tuesday against the Royals, with Tarik Skubal making his home debut the day before. The Yankees sent lefty Carlos Rodón on a rehab assignment at Triple-A as he recovers from elbow inflammation.
