Roster Moves The Mets sent Jonah Tong to Triple‑A after his start against Seattle, clearing a roster spot for right‑hander Trevor Gerber, who was recalled to face the Mariners in the series finale. In San Diego, the Padres designated Nick Castellanos for assignment following a 39‑game stretch in which he posted a .225 average with three homers, a move that frees a bench slot for emerging outfield talent. Meanwhile, Toronto bolstered its rotation by trading for Simeon Woods Richardson from Minnesota, adding a left‑handed starter on a cash‑only deal as the Blue Jays chase a playoff berth.

Pitching Milestones Philadelphia’s ace Cristopher Sánchez saw his historic shutout run end after delivering 663 pitches over 50⅔ innings, a streak that placed him alongside Hall of Fame pitchers for the longest scoreless stretch in modern era as he surrendered a run. The performance, which involved facing 190 batters without yielding a run, underscores the Phillies’ reliance on Sánchez as their frontline arm heading into the final weeks of the season.

Bullpen Health San Francisco’s bullpen took a hit when left‑hander Matt Gage, who led the Giants with 29 appearances, was placed on the 15‑day injured list due to right‑knee inflammation the team announced. Gage’s absence forces the Giants to reshuffle relievers, potentially increasing workload for right‑handers like Camilo Doval and testing the depth of their late‑inning options.
