    Athletics released INF/DH Jed Lowrie.
    Lowrie was designated for assignment by the A’s on Wednesday and predictably passed through waivers without interest from another team. The 38-year-old had batted just .180/.245/.263 in 50 games this season.

    According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Rangers have considered using Kumar Rocker (shoulder) as their closer upon his return from the injured list.
    The Rangers don’t really have room in their rotation for Rocker at the moment and they believe that his fastball-slider combo could be a lethal duo working out of the bullpen. It’s not the worst idea, and certainly something that would give Rocker ample fantasy value if he’s able to succeed in the role. He may be worth a speculative add for those chasing saves in deeper leagues.
    Top prospect Clarke to be called up by Athletics
    Following the Atheltics' announcement that they are calling up prized outfield Denzel Clarke, James Schiano discusses what the toolsy prospect with "blazing speed" will bring to the pro level.
  • NYM 1st Baseman #20
    Pete Alonso slugged a two-run homer in the opening inning on Sunday night, powering the Mets to a 3-1 victory over the visiting Dodgers.
    The inning had been extended as Juan Soto reached on an error by Dodgers’ third baseman Max Muncy and Alonso made them pay. He jumped on a first-pitch knuckle curve from Landon Knack and clobbered a 406-foot (107.0 mph EV) two-run shot that gave the Mets a 2-1 lead they would never relinquish. Alonso finished the evening 1-for-4 and is now hitting .291/.391/.536 to go with 10 homers and 40 RBI on the season.
  • NYM Left Fielder #22
    Juan Soto drove in a run, scored a run and stole a base on Sunday evening as the Mets bested the Dodgers in New York.
    The 26-year-old slugger reached on an error by Max Muncy in the opening inning and then rode home on a two-run blast off the bat of Pete Alonso. Soto then drove in a run with a fielder’s choice in the third inning and swiped second base before ultimately getting stranded there. With his 0-for-4 evening he’s now hitting a disappointing .236/.363/.414 on the season, though that has come with eight homers, 24 RBI and seven stolen bases. He has already matched his stolen base total from the 2024 season and is just five swipes away from his career-high.
  • NYM Relief Pitcher #75
    Reed Garrett closed out the Dodgers on Sunday night, working a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a two-run advantage.
    Edwin Díaz slammed the door on the Dodgers on Saturday night so it was Garrett’s turn to handle the ninth inning on Sunday evening. He made things somewhat interesting by allowing a one-out single to Max Muncy, but battled back to get Andy Pages to hit into a fielder’s choice and then punched out Michael Conforto to end it. On the season, the 32-year-old right-hander has registered a minuscule 0.86 ERA, 1,24 WHIP and a 22/12 K/BB ratio across 21 1/3 innings to go along with one save. He’s not going to usurp the closer’s role from Díaz, but Garrett has proven to be a capable fill-in when he has been called upon.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #34
    Kodai Senga picked up his fifth victory of the season on Sunday night, limiting the Dodgers to just one run on five hits over 5 1/3 innings of work.
    Senga walked four and punched out five opposing hitters in the contest. He served up a leadoff solo homer to Shohei Ohtani, then blanked the vaunted Dodgers’ offense for the remainder of his evening. The 32-year-old right-hander generated seven swings and misses on 101 pitches on the evening, registering a CSW of 28 percent. Now 5-3 on the season, he’ll carry a brilliant 1.46 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and a 52/26 K/BB ratio (55 2/3 innings) into a premium matchup against the Rockies at home on Saturday.
  • LAD Designated Hitter #17
    Shohei Ohtani blasted his 18th home run of the season on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to propel the Dodgers to victory over the Mets.
    Ohtani wasted no time in this one, clobbering Kodai Senga’s second pitch of the ballgame for a 411-foot (108.2 mph EV) solo shot that gave the Dodgers an early 1-0 advantage. That would be their only tally in the game though. The 30-year-old superstar finished his evening 1-for-4 with a strikeout and is now slashing .295/.388/.638 to go with his 18 homers, 32 RBI and 11 stolen bases. The 18 long balls are tied for the most in all of baseball with Kyle Schwarber and Aaron Judge.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #96
    Landon Knack pitched well in a losing effort against the Mets on Sunday night, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits over his six frames.
    The 27-year-old right-hander punched out five batters on the night and didn’t walk a batter. He served up a two-out, two-run homer to Pete Alonso in the opening inning after an error by Max Muncy had extended the inning. The Mets then scratched out a run against him in the third inning. Knack got eight swings and misses on 91 pitches on the evening, posting a solid CSW of 30 percent. He’ll attempt to get back in the win column as he brings a 5.22 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 28/10 K/BB ratio (29 1/3 innings) into Saturday’s matchup against the Yankees.
  • NYY Catcher #25
    J.C. Escarra went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI as the Yankees edged the Rockies 5-4 on Sunday.
    Escarra had gone hitless in his previous three starts over the last two weeks, but he has a solid .244/.352/.400 line through 54 plate appearances. The 7/7 K/BB is especially nice.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #98
    Will Warren allowed two runs in four innings and struck out seven before a rain delay ended his start Sunday against the Rockies.
    The delay most likely cost Warren a win, as the Yankees had a 4-2 lead going into the bottom of the fifth. Warren had 17 whiffs in 54 pitches before he was shut down. He’s definitely worthy of mixed-league attention at this point, but his next start against the Dodgers isn’t a great matchup.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #30
    Despite giving up a solo homer to Mickey Moniak, Luke Weaver picked up his eighth save Sunday against the Rockies.
    Weaver gave up two singles after the homer, but he then got Ezequiel Tovar to fly out and Hunter Goodman to strike out. It’s the closest thing Weaver has had to a misstep in a while, and he still has a 0.76 ERA for the season. Still, the door might have cracked open a little for Devin Williams today. Williams worked a scoreless eighth, striking out three of the five batters he faced, for his sixth hold.
