Trade Deadline Prospects

The trade deadline saw a flurry of activity, and ESPN has ranked the prospects involved in those deals, highlighting potential stars of tomorrow.

Injury & Ejection Fallout

The NL Central-leading Brewers face a sudden infield crisis after shortstop Cooper Pratt landed on the IL with a strained right hamstring, joining fellow infielder Joey Ortiz on the shelf. In Miami, first baseman Kyle Stowers tweaked his left hamstring during Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels and will undergo further evaluation. The Reds lost right-hander Hunter Greene for the season after he opted for surgery on a partially torn UCL, while the Rays placed reliever Griffin Jax on the 15-day IL with right elbow discomfort. Meanwhile, Braves ace Chris Sale was ejected before throwing a pitch in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Yankees, still fuming over a balk call from the previous day.

Record & Roster Moves

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson, made history at Fenway Park by playing his 111th errorless game, setting an MLB record at the position and passing Mike Bordick. The Padres signed veteran outfielder Austin Hays and optioned Gage Workman to Triple-A; Hays made an immediate impact by homering in his first at-bat.
