Cubs & Pirates

In a late‑night showdown, Baez dazzled with a trick play that turned a routine bunt into a double, leaving the Pirates scrambling and prompting Cubs manager to hail him “El Mago.” The maneuver sparked a three‑run rally that lifted Chicago to a 6‑4 victory, narrowing the NL Central gap to 1.5 games behind Milwaukee.

Guardians Ownership

Kelce entered the ownership group with a minority stake, citing his childhood ties to Cleveland. The former NFL star’s investment aligns with the Guardians’ plan to expand revenue streams, and his presence is expected to boost national media attention ahead of the season’s final stretch.

Dodgers Injury Update

Kiké Hernández suffered a strained left oblique just two days after his debut, prompting Dodgers medical staff to consider a short‑term IL placement. The loss removes a versatile bat from a lineup that had produced a .312 average in his first three games, tightening Los Angeles’ outfield depth as they chase the NL West lead.
