Transactions and Roster Moves

The Minnesota Twins have bolstered their starting rotation by acquiring pitcher Dean Kremer from the Baltimore Orioles. In another move to strengthen their pitching staff, the Pittsburgh Pirates have traded for reliever Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees, aiming to end an 11-year postseason drought. The Cleveland Guardians also made a trade, acquiring right-handed pitcher Craig Yoho and switch-hitter Blake Perkins from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor league catcher Bo Naylor.

Injury Updates and Player News

The Pittsburgh Pirates received some difficult news regarding Ryan O'Hearn, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left quad and is expected to miss six to eight weeks. Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras exited their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after being struck on the helmet by a 95 mph fastball, though he departed for precautionary reasons. On a more positive note, Carlos Correa's recovery from ankle surgery is progressing quicker than anticipated, and the Houston Astros star infielder has not ruled out a return this season.

Team History and Game Notes

Members of the 1986 World Series champion New York Mets gathered on Saturday to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the franchise's last title. Atlanta Braves had to make a late pitching change as Reynaldo Lopez was scratched from his start against the Washington Nationals due to left knee inflammation, with Martin Perez taking his place.
