- The Boston Red Sox’s COVID outbreak has made its way to the starting rotation as yesterday’s scheduled starter, Nick Pivetta, joins the 10 other players already on the team’s COVID IL.
- In one of the Brewers’ most exciting wins of the year, former Mariner Daniel Vogelbach hit a massive walk-off grand slam yesterday afternoon to propel the Brewers to a 6-5 win over the Cardinals.
- Clayton Kershaw is set to begin his rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will have him pitch three innings in Oklahoma City in his first start since July 3rd.
- Dominant Yankees reliever Jonathan Loaisiga has been placed on the 10-day IL with a strained rotator cuff. The team will certainly feel his absence as he's proved to be their most reliable late-inning pitcher.
