Injury and Roster Moves

Kyle Stowers exited Sunday's 12-3 Marlins win after tweaking his left hamstring and will undergo further evaluation. The Rays placed right-hander Griffin Jax on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort. Braves ace Chris Sale was ejected before Sunday's game by umpire Dan Merzel, still fuming over a balk call from Saturday that scored a run. The Brewers placed shortstop Cooper Pratt on the IL with a strained right hamstring, testing their infield depth as NL Central leaders. Meanwhile, the Rangers selected the contract of infielder Jonah Bride from Triple-A and optioned outfielder Alejandro Osuna.

Game Highlights and Milestones

Max Scherzer moved into 10th place all-time with 3,516 career strikeouts after fanning four for the Blue Jays on Saturday, passing Walter Johnson. The Dodgers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 2-1, 10-inning victory over the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Jackson Jobe, in his first big league outing in more than 14 months after Tommy John surgery, was described as "electrifying" while leading the Tigers to an 8-0 win over the Giants.
