Dodgers Notes: Klein, Snell, Bubic, George, Robinson

Will Klein was placed on the Dodgers’ 15-day injured list on August 1 due to what was initially described as right elbow discomfort.  However, The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya reports that an MRI revealed that Klein is dealing with bone chips in his throwing elbow, and it hasn’t yet been decided if surgery could be required.

Red Sox join elite company after 27th win in 30 games

The Boston Red Sox continued their remarkable turnaround Friday, defeating the Athletics 13-1 to collect their 27th win in their last 30 games. The result improved Boston’s record to 64-51 and extended its winning streak to nine games.

Dodgers search for elusive first win in August

The Dodgers will turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Saturday in hopes to end their seven-game losing streak, a stretch in which nothing really seems to match up properly. Yamamoto pitched quite well last Saturday at home, allowing three runs in eight innings to the Boston Red Sox, but that was a game in which the […]

Dodgers’ 7-game losing streak comes with familiar silver lining

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached their 2026 low after dropping seven consecutive games. Still, the skid carries a historical parallel that offers perspective amid the club’s slide. Los Angeles lost 4-3 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday after Ryan Waldschmidt hit a two-run walk-off home run at Chase Field. The defeat gave the Dodgers […] The post Dodgers’ 7-game losing streak comes with familiar silver lining appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The Yankees Reliever Confidence Index: August Edition

At last Monday’s Trade Deadline, the Yankees had an opportunity to augment a bullpen that, despite ranking second in MLB in both ERA and xERA, seemingly had room for another high-end arm. Instead, GM Brian Cashman traded away Camilo Doval, Jake Bird, and Yovanny Cruz. The most charitable interpretation here is addition by subtraction. Doval […]

Sporcle Saturday: Rookie-ish hitters with 5+ RBI in a game

Good morning! When Munetaka Murakami went off for 6 RBI against Houston on his bobblehead day , he cemented a franchise first: four separate players, in their first 140 games, to log at least five RBI in a game in the same season. Are there a few qualifiers in there to make it a first? Sure. At the same time, though, only two other iterations managed three instances: 1991 (the same player each time), and 1921 (three different players). This has been a fun season thus far, likely continues to...

You think the Cincinnati Reds flunked the trade deadline

Monday’s trade deadline action didn’t exactly go on-script for the Cincinnati Reds. At least, it sure didn’t follow the script most everyone across the nation expected to see play out. The Reds, mired in last place and with a New Jersey Turnpike full of teams ahead of them in the Wild Card race, looked like […]

“Just Won’t Acknowledge That”: NFL Legend Larry Fitzgerald Claps Back at Retirement Claims

Why Dodgers shouldn’t panic despite sudden 7-game losing streak

Seven consecutive losses demand more than a shrug from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Their offense has stalled, their pitching depth has been exposed, and their bullpen has struggled to finish games. The skid has also cost Los Angeles control of a first-round postseason bye. Concern is warranted. Panic is not. The Dodgers have played poorly […] The post Why Dodgers shouldn’t panic despite sudden 7-game losing streak appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Will the Guardians’ Aggressive Deadline Vault Them in the AL Central?

The Cleveland Guardians spent the trade deadline behaving like a team confident in where they were headed, but only if several changes were addressed. The offense had stalled. The rotation needed another reliable arm. Several players who had been given extended opportunities were no longer producing enough to justify the patience, and the American League […] The post Will the Guardians’ Aggressive Deadline Vault Them in the AL Central? appeared first on Just Baseball .

Kevin Gausman drops high praise for Cubs after stellar debut

With the Chicago Cubs clashing with the Kansas City Royals this weekend, Friday’s 6-4 win displayed the debut of starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, who was traded to the team from the Toronto Blue Jays. As fans were hoping the best is yet to come for Gausman on the Cubs, he had a standout debut, as […] The post Kevin Gausman drops high praise for Cubs after stellar debut appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Today in Blue Jays History: Brandon Morrow’s One-Hitter

15 Years Ago Brandon Morrow pitched 8.2 no-hit innings, leading the Blue Jays to a 1-0 victory. It was likely the best pitching performance I have ever witnessed. With two outs in the ninth, Evan Longoria hit a ground ball between second and first. Aaron Hill made an outstanding effort to reach the ball and […]

NFC Notes: Cam Skattebo, Sonny Styles, Commanders, Cowboys, Giants

Commanders Commanders first-round LB Sonny Styles has been one of the highlights of Washington’s training camp so far, so much so that HC Dan Quinn has some interesting feedback for him — make more mistakes.  Quinn explained that Styles is such a freaky athlete that he can make plays others can’t. He wants him to […] The post NFC Notes: Cam Skattebo, Sonny Styles, Commanders, Cowboys, Giants appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
