Injury Updates Aaron Judge diagnosed with rib stress fracture, the Yankees' star outfielder, will miss significant time after the team revealed a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side. Meanwhile, the Brewers saw two relievers depart injured as DL Hall and Grant Anderson both left during Thursday's 12-9 loss to the Giants, further depleting their bullpen depth. The injury bug continued to spread as Twins right-hander Bailey Ober linked elbow injury to baseball conditions, blaming slick baseballs from his May 24 start in Boston for his current 15-day injured list stint.

Roster Moves The Red Sox option struggling Bello to Triple-A after the right-hander continued his recent poor performance with another shaky outing against Baltimore. In other roster adjustments, the Diamondbacks demoted Pfaadt to Triple-A to stretch him back out as a starter following inconsistent relief work, while the Astros added catching depth by signing LaMonte Wade Jr. and calling up Collin Price to replace César Salazar. The Braves acquired catching depth by getting Austin Wynns from the Angels as they deal with injuries to Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy.

Team Performance Padres star Manny Machado expresses growing frustration as the team's offensive struggles continue, with the third baseman admitting his mounting concern over the club's inability to score runs consistently. The Padres' offensive woes highlight a challenging season for a team expected to contend.
