Injury and Roster Moves

The Blue Jays received mixed injury news: right-hander Trey Yesavage underwent surgery to repair his left meniscus but is not ruled out for the season. Jameson Taillon left his first home start after four scoreless innings due to right forearm discomfort and was placed on the IL pending an MRI. The Marlins placed Kyle Stowers on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain. Giants third baseman Matt Chapman, who has seven home runs and 42 RBIs in 84 games, will undergo season-ending abdominal surgery. Two-time All-Star and former batting champion Tim Anderson announced his retirement after 10 major league seasons.

Game Action

A 16-minute delay interrupted the Red Sox's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays after a chaotic inning-ending double play led to a belated Boston run. The Dodgers rallied for a 6-5 win over the Tigers, overcoming a shaky Dodger Stadium debut from Tarik Skubal and answering manager Dave Roberts' pregame challenge. Mets rookie Carson Benge accidentally tossed the ball from Kodai Senga's first career save into the crowd, leaving the pitcher aghast.

League and Playoff Notes

The Angels fired pitching coach Mike Maddux, along with assistant Darryl Scott and bullpen coach Dom Chiti, as the staff carries a 4.51 ERA and an MLB-worst 508 walks. MLB announced the World Series will begin Oct. 23, with Game 7 on Oct. 31 — only the second October finish since 2020. Senator Richard Blumenthal urged MLB to ban betting promos like Bryce Harper's personalized sportsbook greeting. The Red Sox have transformed their season with a 27-3 run. A look at injured stars expected to return suggests they could prove as valuable as any trade deadline blockbuster.
