Mets Rotation Shuffle The New York Mets reassigned David Peterson to the bullpen after a 2‑1 loss, inserting veteran Sean Manaea into the fifth spot of the rotation. Peterson’s demotion follows a 5.23 ERA over his first three starts this season, while Manaea brings a 3.68 ERA from his recent stint with the Twins. The move aims to stabilize a staff that has posted a league‑worst 5.12 team ERA, giving the bullpen a former All‑Star’s arm and preserving Manaea’s durability for the stretch run.

White Sox Lineup Hit Chicago’s first baseman Munetaka Murakami will miss four to six weeks with a hamstring strain, leaving the club without its 28‑home‑run power bat. Murakami’s injury, confirmed by a Grade 2 tear, drops the White Sox to a .248 team batting average and forces manager Will Venable to rely on rookie Alex Hernandez, who has logged just 1.2 RBI per game this month. The loss comes as Chicago battles a sub‑.500 record and seeks to avoid a losing season.

Tatis Breaks Drought Fernando Tatis Jr. smacked a 451‑foot solo homer to end an MLB‑worst 34‑at‑bat homerless streak, delivering the San Diego Padres a 5‑4 win over Washington. The blast, the longest of his career, lifted Tatis to a .310 slash line this season and sparked a three‑run rally that erased a 4‑2 deficit. His resurgence provides a timely lift as the Padres chase a wild‑card berth.

A’s Technological Glitch Oakland’s replay officials overturned a strike call after an ABS error, confirming that a pitch to catcher Shea Langeliers missed the zone by less than an inch. The miscue sparked a brief delay and highlighted ongoing concerns about automated strike‑zone systems. The A’s, already trailing the AL West by 7 games, will monitor the technology as they seek to close the gap in the final weeks.
