Injuries Mount Across MLB

The Athletics placed Tyler Soderstrom on the 10-day injured list, adding to an already depleted roster that has been without Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers. The 24-year-old was batting .245 with 19 homers and 56 RBIs in 109 games this season. The Red Sox also dealt with injuries, as Masataka Yoshida was placed on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain. The Cubs faced their own setback when Dansby Swanson left Sunday's 11-4 loss to the Cardinals due to left side discomfort and will be placed on the IL. Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter exited Sunday's game against the Padres in the third inning with mild left hamstring tightness.

Pitching Updates

The Pirates announced they will push back Paul Skenes' next scheduled start by three days, citing the worst stretch of his young career and ongoing velocity struggles. Meanwhile, Noah Cameron threw a complete-game one-hit shutout against the Angels, carrying his no-hitter bid into the seventh inning before settling for his dominant complete game performance.

Dodgers Struggles Continue

After a damaging 6-2 loss to the Brewers, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts publicly criticized his team's offense and defense, calling out the club's lackluster performance at a crucial point in the race for home-field advantage.

Passing of a Legend

The baseball world mourned the loss of Tommy John, the former major league pitcher and pioneer of the elbow surgery that bore his name, who passed away at age 83 after a career that was extended by the very procedure he helped pioneer.
