The Cubs are sending promising young catcher Moisés Ballesteros down to Triple-A to reignite his bat, after a strong April faded into a slump. At just 22, Ballesteros showed early promise with a .380 average but has cooled off recently—just one homer in the last two months. While the demotion might sound like a setback, it’s actually a strategic move to give him consistent at-bats and more catching reps. His minor league numbers last year were stellar (.316, 13 HR), and with the Cubs invested in his growth, a hot stint in Triple-A could mean a swift return to the major...

The Cubs crushed the Brewers 8-2, with Ian Happ launching a game-sealing three-run homer and Seiya Suzuki and Michael Conforto also going deep. Rookie lefty David Peterson overcame a rough start—giving up a home run on his first pitch—to deliver a solid win. The Cubs’ offense exploded in the sixth, fueled by Nico Hoerner’s RBI and Happ’s blast, while the pitching staff held Milwaukee scoreless after the fifth. Despite tying it at two in the fifth, the Brewers couldn’t keep up, as Chicago closes the gap in the division after a brutal losing streak against Milw...

Colorado Rockies at the trade deadline: worst record in baseball, but a new front office led by analytics guru Paul DePodesta could shake up old habits. After years of holding onto talent like Trevor Story and Jon Gray — who eventually left for free — and extending players who didn’t pan out, the Rockies finally traded key assets last year. With a 32-50 record and zero playoff chances, the question is: will this new regime prioritize future assets over short-term wins? The baseball world is watching closely.

The Angels just fired GM Perry Minasian after five turbulent years, bringing in Cardinals legend John Mozeliak as interim GM to steer the ship through the season and the August deadline—while also leading the search for a permanent replacement. Mozeliak’s arrival signals a major reset for a franchise stuck in a cycle of missed playoffs, failed trade moves, and the costly fallout from keeping Ohtani instead of trading him. With the Angels’ future hanging in the balance, Mozeliak’s first order of business? Fixing the roster before the deadline and rebuilding the foundation for the next generation.

Cooper Ingle delivered a clutch two-run single in his MLB debut, sparking a three-run inning as the Guardians edged the Mariners 4-3. With the team struggling offensively and key players sidelined, Cleveland’s youth movement surged forward — four rookies started, including Ingle, Travis Bazzana, Kahlil Watson, and Petey Halpin, all contributing significantly. Bazzana went 2-for-4 with runs, Watson added an RBI double in his fifth, and Slade Cecconi anchored the win with six scoreless innings. Fresh energy, strong pitching, and rookie grit combined for a much-needed victory.

Orioles snag catcher Dom Keegan off waivers from Tampa Bay, sending him to Double-A Chesapeake — a solid prospect with power but strikeout concerns and defensive questions. Meanwhile, pitcher Kyle Nicolas is designated for assignment for the second time this year, struggling with control despite a high-90s fastball. Cade Povich is reinstated but sent down to Triple-A Norfolk. Keegan’s move clears a roster spot for Nicolas, who now faces a few days to decide his fate — trade, waiver, or release. It’s a reminder of how fast MLB roster moves can turn players’ paths around.

Hunter Goodman just rewrote the Rockies’ history books with a career-first three-home-run game, powering his team to an 8-5 win over the Twins. His 25th homer this season made him the first Rockies catcher since Michael Toglia to hit that many in just 83 games—and only three catchers in MLB history have ever done it. Even more impressive? He’s crushing it on the road, hitting nearly 100 points higher away from Coors Field than at home. He blasted his first homer in the 1st inning, another in the 3rd, and capped it off with a game-changing three-run shot in the 7t...

The Marlins just clinched their first season series against the Cardinals in a decade, crushing them 5-1 to seal the deal. With this win, Miami surged to five games above .500 for the first time since their playoff run last year, riding a seven-win streak in their last eight series. Otto Lopez led the charge with a triple and two RBIs, while Kyle Stowers and Xavier Edwards each delivered key hits. Javier Sanoja and Lopez added more runs, showcasing a team in full stride. This isn’t just wins—it’s momentum, and the Marlins are building something special this season...

Rafael Devers had a night to remember, smashing two homers—including a game-changing three-run blast that hit the foul pole—to lead the Giants to a 5-0 rout of the Braves. His 22nd multi-homer game of his career was backed by ace Logan Webb’s seven-inning shutout, and Devers’ low-strike-zone power triggered a free Chick-fil-A promotion for every fan in attendance. It was a performance that lit up the stadium and set the tone for a big win.

Atlanta Braves are bringing in veteran first baseman Carlos Santana on a minor league deal after Arizona Diamondbacks released him—despite his rough 2024 season sidelined by injury. At 40, Santana brings elite defense, power (335 homers), and plate discipline, likely heading to Gwinnett to add depth while putting Rowdy Tellez’s big league spot in jeopardy. This move signals Atlanta’s strategy to bolster their lineup with proven talent, with Santana’s performance potentially sparking further roster shifts across MLB.

Junior Caminero’s three-game homer streak and Jonathan Aranda’s two-run blast propelled the Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, snapping a four-game skid and vaulting them back into first place in the AL East. With five relievers combining for a shutout, Michael Grove and Bryan Baker (21st save) anchored the bullpen. The Rays’ four-game win streak is their longest since May, while the Diamondbacks, led by Ketel Marte’s 14th homer, have lost five of seven. The Rays close out the series Sunday looking strong.

Hunter Goodman just lit up the scoreboard with three monster home runs against the Twins, including a game-changing three-run blast in the seventh. Already on fire after a two-run homer the night before, the 26-year-old Rockies slugger is on pace for his best season yet with 25 homers already — and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.

Oakland A’s pull off a savvy move, acquiring righty Hayden Juenger from Toronto after his brief MLB stint and strong Triple-A numbers, clearing roster space by designating infielder Brett Harris. Juenger, 25, showed improved control and strikeout prowess, making him a solid late-season addition. In return, Toronto gets young catcher Owen Carapellotti, a Georgetown alum with power potential, who was signed as an undrafted free agent by the A’s last July. Harris, a veteran of three seasons with Oakland, now faces a quick decision: traded or sent to waivers within five days, with his fate likely resolved within 48 hour...

Tommy Pham, 38, just signed a minor league deal with the Phillies and can opt out July 25th — his third team in three months proves he’s hustling hard. After brief stints with the Orioles and Mets without much success, Pham still packs offensive flashes, especially last year with the Pirates, and brings solid defense in left field. With Derek Hill already heating up and prospects like Gabriel Rincones Jr. and Brandon Marsh filling outfield roles, Pham’s corner-play versatility fits Philly’s needs — especially with Kyle Schwarber locked in as DH.

The Diamondbacks took an early 1-0 lead, but the Rays roared back with Junior Caminero’s sixth homer in 19 innings—and Michael Grove’s first pitch in 630 days was a masterpiece, striking out four in three innings to earn the win. The Rays extended their lead to 3-1, but Ketel Marte’s 430-foot blast in the 8th cut it to one. Brian Baker locked it down in the 9th for his 21st save. Expansion rivals close out their series tomorrow at 1:40 PM ET—Merrill Kelly vs. Dre Rasmussen.

The Mets finally broke their seven-game skid with a 6-2 win over the Phillies, marking their first victory under interim manager Andy Green. Francisco Lindor delivered a clutch two-run triple with the bases loaded in the sixth — his first RBIs since April — and A.J. Ewing added two more runs with a single. Juan Soto also contributed with an RBI triple, and the duo’s return to the lineup signals a promising offensive spark. Christian Scott started strong, and the bullpen sealed the win with four solid innings. Bryce Harper’s early homer was the only bright spot for Philly...

Astros call up Miguel Ullola for his MLB debut, forcing Kai-Wei Teng off the roster after a rough outing. Ullola, now a full-time reliever, relies on a fastball-slider combo and has cut out his off-speed pitches — still walking plenty but with more control in the bullpen. Teng’s struggles as a starter, despite strikeout potential, push the team back to a traditional five-man rotation.

Christopher Morel’s Marlins stint is over after being released unclaimed on waivers, leaving him a free agent with $2M still on his contract. His recent performance was dismal—just .162 in 22 games, 40% K rate, no homers, and chasing bad pitches—but he showed defensive promise at first base. At just 27, with 21 homers last season, he’s still a potential low-risk pickup for another team.

The White Sox pulled off a wild walk-off win against the Royals, 2-1, thanks to Jacob Gonzalez’s clutch ninth-inning single—marking their first-ever 10-game home series win streak.

With 17 one-run wins this season, the Sox are proving they thrive in tight games, while the Royals look to snap their four-game skid in Sunday’s rematch.

But Paul Skenes’ shaky outing and a late Reds go-ahead shot sealed the defeat. Tonight, Jared Jones takes the mound against Reds ace Chase Burns — and we’re watching the skies for any more delays.

The Chicago Cubs are in pitching crisis mode as lefty reliever Hoby Milner goes on the 15-day IL after appendicitis surgery, expected to miss 4-6 weeks. To fill the gap, they’ve recalled Tyler Ferguson for the third time this year, though he’s only pitched a couple games. The roster shuffle continues with starters David Peterson added and Phil Maton also sidelined, joining a growing list of injured arms. Veteran Bryse Wilson is activated off waivers, while Jayden Murray is sent down to Triple-A. With so many key pitchers out, the remaining bullpen and rotation must step up — or the...

Jose Cabrera’s shaky outing against the Rays—four earned runs, two homers—contrasts sharply with his strong debut, but his raw stuff and efficiency hint at untapped potential. With key starters sidelined and the rotation in flux, Cabrera’s inconsistency is less a red flag and more a sign of a team grasping for stability. While not yet an ace, his ability to keep games close offers the Diamondbacks a crucial lifeline as they wait for injured arms to return.
