Roster Moves and Injuries

The New York Yankees are managing a bone bruise in Aaron Judge's upper right rib, which sidelined the slugger during Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland. Similarly, the Boston Red Sox are dealing with a compounding injury to ace Garrett Crochet, who is now battling a low-grade lat strain on top of existing shoulder inflammation. In roster adjustments, the New York Mets optioned Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, recalling Gerber to bolster the bullpen for their series finale against Seattle.

Game Highlights and Transactions

Matt Olson continued his streak of durability on Lou Gehrig Day, hitting a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning to lead the Braves to a 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays, marking his 844th consecutive game. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres designated Nick Castellanos for assignment following a disappointing 39-game stint, a move that came just 24 hours after the outfielder received a video tribute during his return to Philadelphia. The franchise also finalized a sale for $3.9 billion, a transaction that closes the chapter on Peter Seidler's tenure and his effort to transform the club's organizational structure.

Player Updates and Oddities

The Seattle Mariners received a boost as Josh Naylor returned to the lineup for Wednesday's finale against the Mets after missing time with back spasms. While Naylor returned to form, the Los Angeles Angels witnessed a bizarre play when a fly ball bounced off Jo Adell's head and sailed over the right-field fence for a Colorado Rockies home run.
