Twins rookie Kaelen Culpepper homered in his second career plate appearance, sparking a comeback win as Minnesota pushes for the playoffs. The Dodgers lost their seventh straight game, a season-high, when Diamondbacks rookie Ryan Waldschmidt hit a two-run walk-off homer off closer Edwin Díaz for a 4-3 victory. Payton Tolle struck out a career-high 14 over six scoreless innings, and Wilyer Abreu drove in three runs as the Red Sox won their ninth in a row, routing the Athletics to stay hot in the playoff race. Braves manager Walt Weiss was ejected in the fifth inning after a heated argument over a balk on ace Chris Sale during a game against the Yankees.

Roster & Front Office Moves

The White Sox, despite leading the AL Central, have dropped four straight and are calling up two pitching prospects from Triple-A Charlotte to address their recent struggles. The Athletics parted ways with general manager David Forst, ending a three-decade tenure as the franchise prepares for its move to Las Vegas. Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell is expected to return from the injured list Tuesday against the Royals, one day after Tarik Skubal makes his home debut.

Ceremonies & Honors

Chase Utley, still revered as "The Man" in Philadelphia, was inducted into the Phillies' Wall of Fame, joined by many of his 2008 championship teammates. Yankees legend Mariano Rivera made an emotional return to the field at Old-Timers' Day, one year after tearing his Achilles tendon during the same event.
