Power Rankings Shake-Up

The MLB Power Rankings have been updated after a hectic trade deadline, with several teams climbing or dropping based on their new acquisitions and recent form. The Phillies’ Cristopher Sanchez became the first 15-game winner in the majors this season, leading Philadelphia to a 7-3 win over the Nationals. Meanwhile, the Red Sox extended their winning streak to eight with a wild 12-11, 13-inning victory over the White Sox, fueled by Caleb Durbin’s walk-off single.

Braves Sweep Marlins

Ronald Acuña Jr. hit two home runs as the Atlanta Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Marlins with an 11-3 rout, including one homer aided by a flyball flub from Miami’s outfielders. Matt Olson also went deep in the victory, which pushed Atlanta further up the division standings.

Injury & Suspension Updates

The Twins’ Joe Ryan is likely headed to the IL after an MRI revealed a mild left glute strain, a blow to Minnesota’s rotation. In disciplinary news, the Mariners’ Gabe Speier received a three-game suspension for hitting Gleyber Torres, and manager Dan Wilson was also suspended one game after the ensuing dust-up.
