Tampa Bay Rays infielder Ha-Seong Kim was activated Thursday from the 60-day injured list and is slated to make his team debut against the host Minnesota Twins on Friday.

• Kim hasn't played this season since undergoing right shoulder surgery last October. He tore the labrum while diving back to first base on Aug. 18 as a member of the San Diego Padres and missed the rest of the 2024 season.

  Kim signed a two-year, $29 million deal with the Rays in the offseason and was slated to be the team's starting shortstop. He is making $13 million this season and has a player option for $16 million in 2026.

  The versatile Kim also could factor in at second base. During a 21-game rehab stint at Triple-A Durham, he played nine games at shortstop, five at second base and seven as designated hitter. He batted .208 with six RBIs in 72 at-bats.

  Kim, 29, is a stellar defender and won a Gold Glove in 2023.

  The five-year veteran also was dealing with a hamstring injury in recent weeks.

  Last season, Kim batted .233 with 11 homers, 47 RBIs and 22 steals in 121 games for San Diego.

  In four seasons with the Padres, the South Korean batted .242 with 47 homers, 200 RBIs and 78 steals in 540 games and was a big fan favorite.

  The Rays also optioned first baseman Curtis Mead to Durham and outrighted right-hander Forrest Whitley to the same affiliate after he cleared waivers on Thursday. The move involving Whitley opened up a 40-man roster spot for Kim.

  Mead, 24, was batting .225 with three homers and eight RBIs in 47 games with the Rays this season.

  Whitley, 27, has a 13.50 in 10 relief appearances between the Houston Astros and the Rays this season. He has allowed 20 runs (18 earned) in 12 innings.

  The Rays purchased Whitley from the Astros on June 13.

The right hand pain that Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez is currently experiencing is not related to the fracture from earlier this season, the team said Thursday.

• Alvarez visited a hand specialist on Wednesday and received two injections in a bid to lessen the inflammation.

  "There's no pain due to the fracture or anything like that," Astros general manager Dana Brown said Thursday. "It's more the inflamed area, where he received the shots."

  Alvarez took batting practice in Houston on Saturday and reported to West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday for the next step in his rehab, but that plan changed after taking dry swings with a bat on Monday and reporting the soreness in the hand on Tuesday.

  Brown said he was pleased by the latest development.

  "We're encouraged that it's not related to the fracture," Brown said prior to Houston's 7-6 road loss against the Colorado Rockies. "To us, this is good news and we're looking forward to him at least holding a bat once the inflammation goes down before we can tell you any more. Once he starts to hold the bat, we'll have a lot more information in terms of a timeline."

  Astros manager Joe Espada said he spoke to Alvarez on Thursday.

  "I talked to him a little bit and he sounds happy. He sounds very encouraged about the news," Espada said. "If he's happy, I'm happy."

  Alvarez, 28, last played on May 2. He is batting just .210 with three homers and 18 RBIs in 29 games this season. He was scratched from a game against the Chicago White Sox on May 3 due to the injury and was placed on the injured list two days later.

  The Astros announced on May 31 that Alvarez had a small fracture in the hand.

  The three-time All-Star topped 30 homers in each of the previous four campaigns and owns a career slugging percentage of .573.

The Los Angeles Angels placed rookie second baseman Christian Moore on the 10-day injured list on Thursday because of a left thumb sprain.

• In a corresponding move, the Angels selected the contract of shortstop Chad Stevens from Triple-A Salt Lake. Stevens was slated to bat ninth in the order and start at second base in his major league debut on Thursday at Atlanta.

  Moore, 22, dove while attempting to grab Ozzie Albies' grounder up the middle for a single and left the game in the sixth inning of an 8-3 loss to the host Braves on Wednesday. Moore was replaced by Kevin Newman.

  "Anytime you see somebody like (Moore) have an injury like that, you fear the worst," Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said.

  He said that Moore missing two weeks might be "looking at the best-case scenario."

  Moore made his major league debut on June 13. He is batting .189 (10-for-53) with three home runs and eight RBIs in 18 games.

  The Angels selected Moore with the eighth overall pick of the 2024 MLB Draft.

  Stevens, 26, was batting .307 with 14 homers and 43 RBIs in 72 games at Salt Lake.

  The Angels also released right-hander Hector Neris, 36, who was 3-0 with a 5.14 ERA, seven walks and 19 strikeouts in 14 innings over 21 relief appearances this season.

  Neris also pitched this season for the Braves and was 0-1 with a 45.00 ERA after allowing five earned runs over one inning, giving him a combined 7.80 ERA for 15 innings in 2025.

The New York Yankees signed veteran infielder Nicky Lopez to a minor league deal, FanSided reported Thursday.

• The Yankees had previously designated infielder CJ Alexander for assignment, and the Los Angeles Dodgers claimed him off waivers from New York earlier Thursday.

  The Yankees have been struggling defensively in recent weeks, and Lopez, 30, could provide a steady glove. Lopez was an American League Gold Glove Award finalist last year at second base with the Chicago White Sox. He has made 292 starts at second base, 265 at shortstop and 49 at third base in his major league career.

  However, Lopez was batting .056 (1-for-18) for the Chicago Cubs over 14 games when they decided to designate him for assignment in May. He started the season with the Los Angeles Angels and played in four games, going 0-for-6 at the plate.

  Lopez is a career .245 hitter over 686 MLB games with the Kansas City Royals (2019-23), Atlanta Braves (2023), White Sox, Angels and Cubs. His best season came in 2021, when he batted .300 and recorded 21 doubles and 43 RBIs in 151 games for Kansas City.

  Alexander, 28, did not get into a game for the Yankees. He has played 10 major league games, including six for the Athletics earlier this season, and batted .160 (4-for-25).

  Garcia, 31, last pitched in the major leagues in 2023 with the Oakland Athletics and Washington Nationals when he had a combined 9.26 ERA in 10 relief appearances.

Washington Nationals slugger James Wood will bring his massive power to the big stage, becoming the third player to commit to the July 14 Home Run Derby at Atlanta.

• Wood, 22, has delivered 22 home runs in 86 games during his first full major league season. He was acquired by the Nationals in 2022 as part of the package of top prospects Washington received in the trade that sent Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres.

  Wood announced the commitment on Instagram, with a video montage of himself, along with video clips of former Atlanta Braves star Hank Aaron hitting his record 714th home run in 1974. The video included the words, "Derby bound."

  The Seattle Mariners' Cal Raleigh and the Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. also have committed to the event, with five more participants still to be named.

  Raleigh, who would become the first catcher to win the event, has a major league-best 33 home runs. Acuna has nine home runs in 36 games after returning from a torn left ACL that also limited him to 49 games last season.

  Defending champion Teoscar Hernandez of the Los Angeles Dodgers already has said he will not defend his Home Run Derby crown.

Los Angeles Dodgers placed third baseman Max Muncy on the 10-day injured list on Thursday because of bruised left knee after he was injured during Wednesday's win against the Chicago White Sox.

• In a corresponding move, the Dodgers recalled outfielder Esteury Ruiz from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

  Muncy departed after a collision while tagging out Chicago's Michael A. Taylor on a stolen-base attempt in the sixth inning. The play immediately preceded Clayton Kershaw's 3,000th career strikeout.

  Taylor also left the game with a contusion on the back of his left shoulder.

  Muncy, 34, is batting .250 with 13 home runs and 55 RBIs in 81 games. He was a Phase 2 finalist for a starting spot in the All-Star Game but lost out to the San Diego Padres' Manny Machado.

  In 10 major league seasons, eight of which have been with the Dodgers, Muncy is a two-time All-Star and a career .230 hitter with 208 home runs and 592 RBIs.

  His 203 home runs with the Dodgers are tied for seventh all-time in franchise history with Matt Kemp. Duke Snider leads the franchise with 389 home runs and Eric Karros is the all-time leader in its Los Angeles tenure with 270.

  Ruiz, 26, is a career .243 hitter with seven home runs and 57 RBIs in 178 games for the San Diego Padres (2022), Milwaukee Brewers (2022) and Athletics (2023-24). In 2023, he led the American League in steals with 67.

  The Dodgers obtained him in an April 2 trade with the Athletics for minor league right-hander Carlos Duran. Ruiz was batting .292 with eight homers, 37 RBIs and 38 stolen bases in 44 attempts over 66 games with Oklahoma City.

  The Dodgers also designated outfielder Steward Berroa for assignment and claimed infielder CJ Alexander off waivers from the New York Yankees.

  Berroa, 26, was purchased by the Dodgers from the Toronto Blue Jays on May 12 and has not appeared in a game for Los Angeles. He played in 28 games for the Blue Jays in 2024 and hit .189 (7-for-37).

  Alexander, 28, did not get into a game for the Yankees. He has played 10 major league games, including six for the Athletics earlier this season, and batted .160 (4-for-25).

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Luis Ortiz was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through the end of the All-Star break due to an ongoing investigation, Major League Baseball announced Thursday.

• Ortiz, 26, had been slated to start against the host Chicago Cubs on Thursday.

  "The Guardians have been notified that Luis Ortiz has been placed on leave per an agreement with the Players Association due to an ongoing league investigation," the team said in a statement. "The Guardians are not permitted to comment further at this time and will respect the league's confidential investigative process."

  The Athletic and ESPN both reported that the MLB probe is related to gambling.

  Ortiz is 4-9 with a 4.36 ERA in 16 starts this season. The native of the Dominican Republic was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates as part a three-team trade that included the Toronto Blue Jays on Dec. 10.

  Ortiz owns a 16-22 record with a 4.05 ERA in 75 career games (50 starts) with the Pirates (2022-24) and Guardians.

  Left-hander Joey Cantillo (1-0, 3.81 ERA) will get the nod in place of Ortiz and make his first start of the season on Thursday. Cantillo, 25, has yet to face the Cubs in his career.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a full night Wednesday, watching Clayton Kershaw record his 3,000th career strikeout before Freddie Freeman capped a three-run ninth-inning rally with a game-ending single in a 5-4 victory over the visiting Chicago White Sox.

• Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani also drove in runs for the Dodgers in the ninth. Ohtani scored the game-winner, and Will Klein (1-0) earned his first victory for the Dodgers.

  Kershaw struck out three batters to finish the night with exactly 3,000, setting down Vinny Capra looking on a slider to end the top of the sixth inning. The milestone strikeout came on Kershaw's last batter of the game and on his season-high 100th pitch. He gave up four runs on nine hits while becoming the fourth lefty to fan 3,000.

  Yandy Diaz hit a two-run home run in a five-run sixth inning as host Tampa Bay held on in a white-knuckle ninth to avoid a series sweep with a win over the Athletics.

  Edwin Uceta survived the ninth inning for his first save.

  Pirates 5, Cardinals 0

  Mitch Keller pitched seven scoreless innings to lead Pittsburgh past visiting St. Louis, the Pirates' third consecutive shutout in the series sweep.

  Keller struck out seven, walked one and gave up five hits in helping Pittsburgh record their season-high sixth straight victory. Pirates pitchers have held opponents scoreless for 31 consecutive innings -- their longest such streak since 2015. It's also the first time since at least 1901 that an MLB team has scored 43 or more runs and allowed four or fewer in any six-game span.

  Cardinals ace Sonny Gray, who threw a one-hitter in his prior start, allowed four runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings. St. Louis has lost five of its past eight games, and all five losses have been shutouts.

  Mets 7, Brewers 3 (Game 2)

  Brandon Nimmo belted a grand slam and Francisco Lindor drove in three runs, helping New York salvage a split of their doubleheader against visiting Milwaukee.

  Nimmo's grand slam in the second inning was followed by Lindor's solo homer. Lindor added an RBI single in the sixth and an RBI double in the eighth. Edwin Diaz struck out three batters over the final 1 1/3 innings to record his 17th save. The Mets had lost four in a row and 14 of 17 games following their 7-2 setback in the opener of the doubleheader.

  Rhys Hoskins and Jackson Chourio each collected two hits and a run for the Brewers, who lost for just the second time in their last seven games. Starter Jacob Misiorowski sustained the first loss of his career after permitting five runs on as many hits with three walks in 3 2/3 innings.

  Orioles starter Tomoyuki Sugano (6-5) continued his recent struggles, yielding six runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out five in 4 2/3 innings. Sugano has surrendered 13 runs on 19 hits over 9 2/3 innings in his past two starts.

  Astros 5, Rockies 3

  Jose Altuve had two singles to pass Jeff Bagwell for second on Houston's career hit list, Shay Whitcomb hit his first major league home run and the Astros beat Colorado in Denver.

  Randy Arozarena homered for the fourth time in the past three games and added a sacrifice fly as Seattle defeated visiting Kansas City.

Arozarena led off the bottom of the sixth inning with a 418-foot blast off Royals reliever John Schreiber, tying the score at 1-all. It was his 12th long ball of the year.

  Royals rookie left-hander Noah Cameron pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed four hits with one walk and five strikeouts.

  Phillies 6, Padres 4 (Game 1)

  Padres starter Dylan Cease gave up four runs on eight hits in six innings while picking up the loss. San Diego got its lone run on Jackson Merrill's RBI single in the fourth.

  Tigers 11, Nationals 2 (Game 1)

  Riley Greene hit a pair of three-run home runs, Jake Rogers and Spencer Torkelson also went deep and visiting Detroit routed Washington in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.

  Greene has homered in three straight games and has 21 on the season. Zach McKinstry had four hits and Colt Keith added three for Detroit, which has won four of five. Dylan Smith (1-0) pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings on two hits for the win.

  Alex Call had three hits for Washington, which went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position. Trevor Williams (3-10) gave up seven runs on nine hits over three innings. Washington prospect Andry Lara, 22, retired nine of the 10 batters he faced in his major league debut.

  Nationals 9, Tigers 4 (Game 2)

  Nathaniel Lowe's bases-loaded triple keyed a six-run eighth inning and host Washington rallied past Detroit to earn a split of a day-night doubleheader.

  Reds 8, Red Sox 4

  Christian Encarnacion-Strand's seventh-inning grand slam sparked a Cincinnati comeback as the visiting Reds defeated Boston in the finale of a three-game series.

  Encarnacion-Strand joined Tyler Stephenson, Gavin Lux and Matt McLain with multiple hits for the Reds, who erased a 3-0 deficit by scoring five in the seventh and three in the eighth. They remain the lone major league team that has not been swept this season. Despite trailing for most of his outing, Cincinnati right-hander Nick Martinez (6-8) wound up working 6 2/3 innings in his second straight winning start. He allowed four runs on nine hits.

  Boston errors helped fuel both of the Reds' big innings, which included seven of their 12 total hits. Stephenson led off both frames with singles. Trevor Story went 3-for-4, Ceddanne Rafaela had two hits and Wilyer Abreu (home run) and Romy Gonzalez each had two RBIs for Boston.

  Red Sox 5, Reds 3 (completion of Tuesday's suspended game)

  Wilyer Abreu and Trevor Story drove in runs in the eighth inning to lift Boston to a win over visiting Cincinnati in a suspended game that was completed Wednesday afternoon. The first three innings were played Tuesday night before heavy rain halted play.

  Abreu's go-ahead RBI single broke a 3-3 tie, then Story followed with a two-out RBI double. The two-run cushion was plenty for Aroldis Chapman, who tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning to notch his 14th save. That also made a winner out of Brayan Bello, who tossed five innings of one-run ball. Abraham Toro and Abreu each had two hits while Carlos Narvaez had two RBIs for the Red Sox.

  Lyon Richardson took the loss for the Reds after Scott Barlow blew a save. Spencer Steer, the reigning NL Player of the Week, knocked his 10th homer to left in the fourth, a two-run shot.

  Blue Jays 11, Yankees 9

  Davis Schneider homered twice and Addison Barger also went deep as host Toronto defeated New York. The Blue Jays have won the first three games of the four-game series to tie the Yankees for first in the AL East.

  Toronto squandered an 8-0 lead, with New York's Aaron Judge's two-run homer in the eighth tying the game at 9. But the Blue Jays came back to take an 11-9 lead against Yankees reliever Devin Williams in the home eighth on two walks, a run-scoring wild pitch and Barger's RBI single.

  Barger finished with four RBIs while Schneider drove in three runs. Andres Gimenez contributed three hits and Jeff Hoffman pitched around a single in the ninth for Toronto to earn his 20th save. For New York, Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer, while Judge finished with three hits and three RBIs.

Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw became the 20th pitcher in major league history to register 3,000 career strikeouts when he set down the Chicago White Sox's Vinny Capra to end the sixth inning on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

• Kershaw, 37, became just the fourth left-handed pitcher to reach the milestone, joining Randy Johnson (4,875), Steve Carlton (4,136) and CC Sabathia (3,093).

  Nolan Ryan is the all-time strikeout leader at 5,714.

  Kershaw entered the game needing three strikeouts to reach the mark. He fanned former teammate Miguel Vargas in the third inning and got Lenyn Sosa for the final out of the fifth.

  After whiffing Capra, Kershaw walked off the field and tipped his cap to the home crowd before getting hugs and handshakes from his teammates. It was his last batter of the game after throwing a season-high 100 pitches.

  Kershaw gave up four runs on nine hits and a walk, leaving with the Dodgers trailing 4-2. Los Angeles scored three times in the ninth inning for a 5-4 win.

  The milestone strikeout came one batter after Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy departed the game with an apparent left knee injury that occurred as he tagged out Michael A. Taylor on a stolen-base attempt.

  Kershaw is the third active pitcher to reach 3,000 strikeouts, as he now stands alongside Justin Verlander (3,471) and Max Scherzer (3,419). Scherzer reached 3,000 as a member of the Dodgers in September 2021.

  Only two other pitchers reached 3,000 entirely with one team: Bob Gibson (St. Louis Cardinals) and Walter Johnson (Washington Nationals).

  "If you look at the odds of doing it with the same team, the margins are very small to happen like this," Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said before the game. "The Dodgers faithful can really appreciate that they've been on this journey with Clayton for 18 years, so it's pretty cool."

  In 441 career appearances (438 starts), Kershaw is 216-94 with a 2.52 ERA. The 10-time All-Star won NL Cy Young Awards in 2011, 2013 and 2014, and he was chosen the NL's Most Valuable Player in 2014. Kershaw helped the Dodgers win the 2020 World Series, but he missed the 2024 postseason due to injury during Los Angeles' title run.

Major League Baseball's top teams, the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers, each will have three representatives starting the 2025 MLB All-Star Game next Tuesday at Atlanta's Truist Park.

• The Tigers of the American League and Dodgers of the National League netted three starters as Phase 2 of the voting concluded at noon on Wednesday.

  Tiger outfielders Riley Greene and Javier Baez and second baseman Gleyber Torres were selected to start for the AL All-Stars, while Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Will Smith will join NL balloting front-runner Shohei Ohtani for the senior circuit.

  Ohtani will serve as the NL's designated hitter. This will be the fifth appearance overall and second as a National Leaguer for Ohtani, who entered Wednesday leading MLB with 83 runs scored (in 84 games) and tops the NL in home runs (30), slugging percentage (.637) and OPS (1.024).

  New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge led all players in the Phase 1 of voting from June 4-26 and will join Greene and Baez in the outfield. Judge has been selected seven times by the fans as an All-Star starter. He leads MLB in batting average (.358), hits (112), total bases (226), on-base percentage (.466), slugging percentage (.722) and OPS (1.188).

  Freeman picked up his ninth All-Star game selection to lead all 2025 honorees and fifth as a starter.

  MLB home-run leader Cal Raleigh (33) of the Seattle Mariners was selected as the AL's starting catcher for his All-Star Game debut, and rookie sensation Jacob Wilson of the Athletics earned the nod at shortstop.

  Joining Torres and Wilson in the American League infield are Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (fourth starter selection) and Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (also his fourth start). Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn will make his All-Star game debut.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. (fifth starter selection) will represent the host Atlanta Braves in the outfield, along with Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs, each making their first start.

  Freeman will be accompanied on the infield by Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (third career start), New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (first-time starter) and San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado, a seven-time All-Star and first-time starter.

  Wilson, currently second in the American League with a .339 batting average, is the first rookie shortstop to win a fan election and just the second rookie to earn a start at the position in the history of the Midsummer Classic. He also is the first Athletics shortstop to start since Bert Campaneris was in the lineup for three consecutive games from 1973-75.

  Acuna, who just returned to the field on May 23, is hitting a robust .350 with nine home runs in 35 games played.

  ESPN revealed the starters and will unveil the 23 reserves and pitchers for each squad on Sunday at 5 p.m. EDT.

The Texas Rangers reinstated first baseman Jake Burger from the 10-day injured list before Wednesday night's series finale against the visiting Baltimore Orioles.

• Burger, 29, missed the Rangers' past 10 games with a left oblique strain. He is batting .220 with 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 65 games this season, his first with Texas.

  Burger is a career .246 hitter with 82 home runs and 214 RBIs in 409 games with the Chicago White Sox (2021-23), Miami Marlins (2023-24) and Rangers.

  The Rangers optioned All-Star third baseman Josh Jung to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Jung, 27, is batting .237 with eight homers and 35 RBIs in 75 games this season.

  Jung is hitting .152 with one homer, eight RBIs and 13 strikeouts in his last 11 games.

  Drafted No. 8 overall by Texas in 2019, Jung made the American League All-Star team in 2023 and is a career .252 hitter with 43 home runs and 135 RBIs in 269 games.

The Minnesota Twins placed right-hander Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due an impingement in his left hip.

• The move is retroactive to Sunday for Ober, who surrendered seven runs on 11 hits -- including four home runs -- in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

  Ober, who turns 30 on July 12, is 0-5 with 14 homers allowed in his last five starts. He is 4-6 this season with a 5.28 ERA through 17 starts.

  Ober is 29-27 with a 4.01 ERA in 105 games (all starts) since making his major league debut with Minnesota in 2021.

  The Twins recalled left-hander Kody Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Funderburk, 28, is 1-0 with a 7.50 ERA in nine relief appearances this season with Minnesota.

The Atlanta Braves designated Alex Verdugo for assignment to make room for fellow outfielder Jurickson Profar in a series of roster moves on Wednesday, that also included placing right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach on the 15-day injured list with a fractured right elbow.

• The Braves also optioned right-hander Kevin Herget to Triple-A Gwinnett, while right-hander Daysbel Hernandez was reinstated from the injured list and left-hander Austin Cox was recalled from Gwinnett.

  Doctors told Schwellenbach the break he sustained during Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies was rare.

  "During the game in the second or third inning, I started feeling what I thought was tightness," Schwellenbach said in a Wednesday press conference. "So I went as far as I could and they took me out of the game and I woke up the next day and was ‘Whoa, that's more than tightness.'"

  The injury takes Schwellenbach out of National League All-Star team consideration.

  Profar is returning from an 80-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. He was scheduled to start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday night's home game against the Los Angeles Angels.

  Profar, 32, was suspended without pay on March 31 for violating the MLB Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. He tested positive for the PED chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), according to the commissioner's office.

  After last year's breakout All-Star season with the San Diego Padres, Profar signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Braves in January.

  Profar played in four games before the suspension, batting .200 (3-for-15) with two runs scored.

  He set career highs across the board in 2024 with a .280 average, 24 homers, 94 runs and 85 RBIs in 158 games for the Padres.

  The Curacao native has a .245 career average with 111 homers and 444 RBIs in 1,123 games with the Texas Rangers (2012-13, 2016-18), Athletics (2019), Padres (2020-22, 2023-24), Colorado Rockies (2023) and Braves.

  Verdugo is batting .239 with zero home runs and 12 RBIs in 56 games in his first season with the Braves. He signed a one-year deal for $1.5 million in March.

  Verdugo, 29, is a career .270 hitter with 70 homers and 328 RBIs in 856 games with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2017-19), Boston Red Sox (2020-23), New York Yankees (2024) and Braves.

  Schwellenbach struck out 12 in seven innings against the Phillies on the night of his injury. He reported elbow soreness the following day and an X-ray displayed a small fracture.

  The 25-year-old will not throw for at least four weeks. The Braves hope he will return in September.

  Schwellenbach is 7-4 with a 3.09 ERA in 17 starts this season. He has struck out 108 and walked just 18 in 110 2/3 innings.

George Springer hit a grand slam and a solo homer and collected a career-high seven RBIs Tuesday afternoon as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting New York Yankees 12-5 on Canada Day.

• Andres Gimenez added a three-run homer for the Blue Jays, who have won the opening two of a four-game series. Toronto moved within one game of the first-place Yankees in the American League East.

  Jasson Dominguez had three RBIs for New York. The Yankees scored two in the first against Kevin Gausman. Paul Goldschmidt singled and Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton walked to load the bases to set up Dominguez's two-run single up the middle.

  Max Fried didn't allow a hit over the first three innings before Springer led off the fourth with a homer to left center on a 2-2 curveball. The inning continued when Davis Schneider was given an infield hit on a chopper to third and Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s throw was wide of first. Myles Straw walked and Gimenez homered to center on a fastball down the middle to give the Jays a 4-2 lead.

  Pirates 1, Cardinals 0

  Henry Davis' eighth-inning sacrifice fly drove in Ke'Bryan Hayes to lift host Pittsburgh to the win over St. Louis.

Cabrera (3-2) pitched one of the best games of his career, allowing just two hits and one walk, striking out six.

Bennett Sousa, the second of five relievers, pitched a scoreless inning to get the win. Josh Hader allowed a run in the ninth but picked up his 24th save.
