Braves Cut Former Yankees Outfielder. The Atlanta Braves have designated former New York Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo for assignment, to make room for Jurickson Profar's return to the roster. Verdugo, 29, was the Los Angeles Dodgers' top prospect in 2019, and was traded to the Boston Red Sox in 2020 as part of a deal that brought Mookie Bets to Los Angeles. Following a 2021 season with the Red Sox that saw them make it to the American League Championship Series, Verdugo's numbers have declined, and he has been faulted for a lack of hustle by leadership.

Braves rumors: Atlanta's firm Ronald Acuna Jr. trade stance. The Atlanta Braves came into the season with World Series expectations, but things have not gone according to plan so far. Injuries and overall inconsistency have doomed the Braves so far in 2025, and as a result they find themselves well outside the playoff picture at 39-49 as the All-Star break approaches. The trade deadline is also right around the corner, and the Braves improbably find themselves in the position to be potential sellers. Atlanta is 12.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the top spot in the NL East and is eight games off of the last NL Wild Card spot, so other teams will be understandably calling about some of their top players.

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes feared the worst after third baseman Max Muncy suffered a knee injury in Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. White Sox outfielder Michael A. Taylor attempted to steal third in the top of the sixth inning and collided with Muncy at third after sliding head first. Muncy's knee bent backwards on impact, and sent him to the ground for several minutes before a trainer helped him off the field and into the tunnel.

Cubs' bullpen finally gets hit in loss to Cardinals as team charts pitching plan leading into All-Star break. A rare bad day won't change the fact that the Cubs boast what has been, arguably, the best bullpen in baseball. Lefty Drew Pomeranz's perfect 0.00 ERA is no more. Righty Chris Flexen allowed his second home run of the season. “They've been so good to us,” first baseman Michael Busch said of the relief corps.

Tyrone Taylor (OF - NYM)
7/5/25 10:00 AM -
How New York Mets could solve big lineup need. The New York Mets appear to have stabilized after a woeful two and a half week stretch, entering Saturday's game riding a three-game winning streak. While there are hopeful signs that the team's pitching and DH spots could get reinforcements in the next two weeks, center field remains a weakness for the Mets. Tyrone Taylor has been the Mets' starting center fielder for most of the year and has provided quality defense, but he has been in a big slump offensively, collecting just two hits in his last 35 at-bats dating back to June 19th. Jeff McNeil has more offensive pop out of center, but isn't as good as Taylor defensively.

Orioles Should Go After Athletics Pitcher To Upgrade Their Starting Rotation. Not having a viable starting rotation and bullpen has been a major reason why this team has performed in such a disappointing manner, with the idea of them competing for a World Series championship and division title ending virtually as soon as the season began. While they offered Corbin Burnes a contract that would have made him the highest-paid pitcher on an AAV basis in Major League Baseball history, they didn't do much to replace him when he decided to sign with the Arizona Diamondbacks instead. Because of that, this is looking like a lost year for the Orioles. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Athletics "are now open to trading" Luis Severino just half of a season into the three-year, $67 million contract he signed this past winter.

Manny Machado (3B/DH - SD)
7/5/25 6:28 AM -
Padres' Manny Machado has chance to join elite list vs. Rangers. The list of players who have compiled 2,000 career hits and 350 career homers during their age 32 season is short and elite, containing 11 names that include Henry Aaron, Lou Gehrig and Willie Mays. Manny Machado can become the 12th man in MLB history to join that list Saturday night if he gets three hits when the San Diego Padres host the Texas Rangers in game two of the teams' three-game weekend series.

On 31st birthday, Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani to pitch against Astros. Shohei Ohtani's ramp up toward becoming a full-fledged starting pitcher will continue Saturday when the right-hander takes the mound against the visiting Houston Astros on his 31st birthday. It will be Ohtani's fourth start since he returned to the mound last month following elbow surgery in 2023, albeit in short spurts. Ohtani (0-0, 2.25 ERA) went one inning in each of his first two starts, with the Dodgers more than willing to continue the slow progression.

Red Sox Future Ace Steals Show During Tanner Houck's Rehab Outing. Going to a Minor League Baseball game is pretty much always a good idea. At Hadlock Field in Portland, Maine on Friday night, the locals were in luck. Boston Red Sox All-Star pitcher Tanner Houck was in town on rehab, and he pitched as well as he has all year. After Houck exited the game, five scoreless innings under his belt, he turned the ball over to lefty Payton Tolle, the 22-year-old second-round pick from last year who is somehow only considered the 15th-best prospect in the Boston system, per MLB Pipeline's latest rankings.

Surprising Reason Behind Yankees Reliever's Struggles. After a strong start to the season, New York Yankees right-handed reliever Mark Leiter Jr. has seen his numbers tumble amidst a prolonged rough patch. Over his past seven outings, Leiter has posted an unsightly 8.44 ERA and 2.44 WHIP. Remarkably, however, both of those stats are actually heading in the right direction, as he's logged marks of 9.00 and 2.55 in those two categories, respectively, across his prior 15 appearances for the Yankees. As recently as May 29, Leiter was boasting a 2.28 ERA and 1.78 FIP while averaging 13.31 strikeouts per nine.

Red Sox trading 1 of 2 star outfielders could impact MLB trade deadline. The Boston Red Sox have a crowded outfield. So crowded that the top prospect in all of baseball, Roman Anthony, has had to spend a bunch of time as the DH in his first foray into the major leagues. And if Boston can't push itself into AL East contention in a hurry, a trade or two could be on tap. MLB Trade Rumors lists two of the Red Sox star outfielders as top trade candidates before the deadline: Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu. Here's the logic provided on Duran: "Duran is a season removed from a top-10 MVP finish when he hit .285/.342/.492 while appearing in 160 games. His numbers are down this year, as he carries a league-average .253/.312/.409 slash in nearly 400 plate appearances. Duran

McNeil popped to his feet and threw to first for the second out of the ninth. “The homer was sick,” McNeil said after the Mets overcame a pair of two-run deficits to beat the New York Yankees 6-5 on Friday in the opener of this season's second Subway Series.
