Roster Moves & Returns
The Mets designated veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel for assignment after a brief 14-appearance stint, while the Phillies activated slugger Kyle Schwarber from the injured list following a three-game absence due to illness. In New York, the Yankees activated shortstop José Caballero from the IL, with manager Aaron Boone noting that Anthony Volpe will get some work at second base to bolster infield depth.
Injury Updates & Discipline
Tigers ace Tarik Skubal threw his third bullpen session since elbow surgery, a "great step" per manager A.J. Hinch, though his return remains undetermined. Meanwhile, Mariners minor leaguer Jose Zerpa received an 80-game suspension after testing positive for Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance.
Stadium Development & Fantasy Outlook
The Athletics’ planned $2 billion domed stadium on the Las Vegas Strip remains on schedule for a 2028 opening, with the lower bowl structure now taking shape. Separately, fantasy analyst Tristan Cockcroft urges consideration of Mariners players in trades, citing Seattle’s underperforming roster as a potential source of value.
