    White Sox sent OF Corey Julks outright to Triple-A Charlotte.
    Julks went unclaimed after being designated for assignment. The 28-year-old outfielder hit just .214/.275/.306 in 2024 for Chicago last year, so it’s not a surprise other clubs didn’t have interest in adding him to their respective 40-man rosters.

    Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports that the Mariners still consider Eugenio Suárez their top priority after acquiring Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
    The Mariners weren’t able to get a deal done for Suárez on Thursday, as the competition for his services is believed to be much steeper than it was for Naylor, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still trying. Adding both of the Diamondbacks’ sluggers would go a long way to fortifying the middle of a lineup that already features Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez.
    What can Cantillo do with starting opportunity?
    Eric Samulski explains why Guardians starter Joey Cantillo could provide fantasy value in the second half of the MLB season.
  • CWS Center Fielder #88
    According to Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated, the Mets are among the teams that have checked in on White Sox’ outfielder Luis Robert Jr.
    The dynamic 27-year-old outfielder is having a miserable season at the plate — slashing just .206/.293/.343 with 10 homers, 41 RBI, 26 stolen bases and a 95/35 K/BB ratio over 328 plate appearances. The prevailing wisdom though is that he would flourish from a change of scenery, and he looks increasingly likely to be dealt before next week’s deadline.
  • TOR 3rd Baseman #22
    Ernie Clement swatted a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth inning on Thursday, powering the Blue Jays to an 11-4 victory over the Tigers in the opener of their four-game series at Comerica Park.
    The Blue Jays had been shut out by Reese Olson through the first five innings, but they found their stroke in the sixth. There, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smacked a run-scoring double that tied the game and then with two outs the Tigers walked Addison Barger intentionally to face Clement. He made them pay, clobbering a 1-0 changeup for a 396-foot go-ahead three-run blast. Clement also singled in the ballgame and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, finishing the night 2-for-4. On the season, he’s now slashing .284/.321/.392 with five long balls, 31 RBI and three swipes in 373 plate appearances.
  • TOR Center Fielder #10
    Joey Loperfido went 2-for-5 and clubbed his second home run of the season on Thursday as the Blue Jays triumphed over the Tigers in Motown.
    Loperfido followed Ernie Clement’s go-ahead three-run blast with a 394-foot (107.2 mph EV) solo shot to right that increased the Jays’ lead to 5-1. The 26-year-old has done a nice job in his limited action with the big league club this season, slashing .324/.361/.529 with two homers and seven RBI in his first 36 plate appearances.
  • TOR 1st Baseman #27
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 3-for-5 with a double and a pair of RBI on Thursday as the Blue Jays clobbered the Tigers at Comerica Park.
    The 26-year-old slugger finally got the Blue Jays on the board in the sixth inning with a game-tying RBI double off of Reese Olson. He then rode home on Ernie Clement’s go-ahead three-run homer. Guerrero also drove in a run with an RBI single in the seventh inning that made it a 6-1 ballgame and then scored on Addison Barger’s two-run triple. With his three-hit attack, he’s now hitting .289/.393/.448 to go with 13 homers and 52 RBI on the season.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #56
    Eric Lauer picked up his sixth victory of the season on Thursday, limiting the Tigers to just one run on five hits over eight stellar frames.
    The 30-year-old southpaw punched out six batters on the night and didn’t allow a single base on balls. The only blemish on his day came on a solo home run off the bat of Jahmai Jones in the opening inning. Aside from that, he was brilliant. Lauer generated eight swings and misses on 97 pitches on the evening, registering a strong CSW of 34 percent. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 2.61 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and a 71/16 K/BB ratio (69 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the Orioles in Baltimore.
  • DET Right Fielder #18
    Jahmai Jones went 1-for-4 and clubbed a solo home run as the Tigers were trounced by the Blue Jays on Thursday evening.
    Jones got the Tigers on the board first in this one with a 399-foot (97.0 mph EV) solo shot off of Eric Lauer in the home half of the first inning. That would be the only run that the Tigers could muster over eight innings against Lauer. On the season, the lefty masher is now hitting .246/.328/.544 with four homers and eight RBI in 64 plate appearances.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #45
    Reese Olson struggled late during Thursday night’s loss to the Blue Jays, allowing five runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings of work.
    The right-hander walked two and struck out four batters on the night. He had shut the Blue Jays out on three hits heading to the fifth inning, but after allowing a one-out walk to George Springer, the wheels fell off the train. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smacked an RBI double, Addison Barger was walked intentionally and Ernie Clement followed with a go-ahead three-run homer. Joey Loperfido then clobbered a solo homer to chase Olson from the game. The 25-year-old hurler got nine whiffs on 95 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll attempt to bounce back as he brings a 3.15 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 65/25 K/BB ratio (68 2/3 innings) into Tuesday’s battle against the Diamondbacks.
  • ARI 1st Baseman #22
    Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Mariners have reached an agreement to acquire first baseman Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks.
    Jeff Passan of ESPN adds that the Diamondbacks will receive left-hander Brandyn Garcia and minor league right-hander Ashton Izzi in return for the 28-year-old slugger. There had been rumblings that the Mariners were discussing Eugenio Suarez with the Diamondbacks and it’s unclear if those discussions are still ongoing now that they’ve upgrade their offense with Naylor. Expect the D’Backs to continue to be aggressive in moving pending free agents like Suarez and Merrill Kelly as the trade deadline approaches.
  • STL Right Fielder #21
    Cardinals’ manager Oli Marmol said Thursday that Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Nolan Gorman (back) are expected to begin minor league rehab assignments early next week.
    Nootbaar has been shelved since just before the All-Star break due to a left costochondral sprain. He’ll need at least a few games of live at-bats before he’ll be deemed ready to return to the Cardinals’ lineup. As long as he avoids any setbacks, it’s possible that return could come next weekend against the Padres.
