Mets show signs of life, power past Brewers to avoid doubleheader sweep. If only for just one inning, the Mets' offense looked alive on Saturday night.

The first one, a grand slam off the bat of left fielder Brandon Nimmo, who has warned in the past that the ball carries differently in the summer months in Flushing, Queens. Nimmo's home run had a .200 expected batting average (xBA) and would've been out in 20 of 29 other ball parks.

Coby Mayo (3B - BAL)
7/2/25 4:00 PM -
Orioles' Rookie Slugger Starting to Figure Things Out at the Plate. The Baltimore Orioles' well-documented struggles at the plate this season have turned a once-promising campaign into a seemingly endless routine of cycling through options in the lineup in an effort to spark some sort of offensive production. The call-up of rookie Coby Mayo back at the beginning of May served as a prime example of this never-ending search, even though the No. 2 prospect in the Orioles' farm system hadn't particularly been lighting things up at Triple-A Norfolk this year. At the time of his promotion, Mayo was only carrying a .226/.318/.452 slash line across the 168 at-bats he had for the Tides this season, which followed up the sub-.100 batting average he produced during his first stint at the MLB level at the tail end of 2024. Despite his lackluster production, though, the Orioles' brass decided that it was time to give the now-23-year-old another shot to show what he could bring to the table with the big league club.

The Cardinals have dealt with trade rumors surrounding this player for months, and the rumors aren't showing any signs of slowing down.

Is Ceiling of Rockies' Latest Call Up Really Yordan Alvarez?. There hasn't been much for Colorado Rockies fans to get excited about this season -- or really the past few years -- but that could change with the promotion of one of their top prospects. On Tuesday, it was announced that Yanquiel Fernandez had been called up to the Major League roster, giving the Rockies and their fans another chance to see a potential franchise cornerstone player perform at the highest level. Ranked fifth in Colorado's pipeline, the 22-year-old Cuban native was signed to a minor league contract back in 2019, and since he made his professional debut in 2021, he has done nothing but impress. Fernandez has a career minor league slash line of .279/.336/.478 with 77 homers and 338 RBI, hitting 20 or more blasts in two out of his three full seasons.

It would mark the 32-year-old's first appearance since Sept. 23, 2023, as he underwent shoulder surgery that October and missed the entirety of the 2024 campaign. Woodruff made his MLB debut in 2017, served as a successful swingman in 2018, then ascended to All-Star status in 2019.

Perez lofted a fly ball off Emerson Hancock (3-5) that center fielder Julio Rodríguez lost in the twilight sky and dropped for a two-run double. Rodríguez climbed the center-field wall, trying to rob a home run, but he misjudged the ball and it bounced to the wall as the Royals took a 5-1 lead.

Houston Astros eyeing trade for dynamic Orioles outfielder at MLB trade deadline?. The Houston Astros are putting together another fabulous campaign in the 2025 season, sitting a comfortable seven games ahead of the Seattle Mariners in the AL West standings. But let's face it: The Astros could use some help in the outfield. And we're not saying that Cam Smith and Jake Meyers aren't pulling their weight, but a jolt in the Astros outfield as they still rearrange without having Kyle Tucker definitely wouldn't hurt. And with Astros general manager Dana Brown being very adamant about having a left-handed bat on his trade deadline shopping list, one name sticks out that fits both criteria and would make a lot of sense for the team. That name would be Baltimore Orioles outfielder

Watch: Former Rangers Top Prospect Belts First Big League Homer. The first half the 2025 Texas Rangers' season was largely characterized by the team's struggles at the plate, with just about every hitter in the clubhouse struggling in one way or another. This included former top prospect Alejandro Osuna, who was called up back in May after getting off to a blazing hot start down in Triple-A. Osuna, who was named the Rangers' minor league player of the year in 2024, was promoted in hopes that he could provide some sort of juice for Texas' sputtering bats. Across the 50 at-bats Osuna had prior to Tuesday night's matchup against the Baltimore Orioles, the 22-year-old was only hitting .160 and had an OPS sitting at .475.

The once league-best starting rotation has been decimated by injuries to Griffin Canning, Tylor Megill and Kodai Senga, and Frankie Montas and Paul Blackburn have proved to be disastrous replacements.

Rangers predicted to trade for $10.9 million Diamondbacks All-Star. It's been a bit of a slow start for the Texas Rangers this year. The offense has been a major problem for Texas this season, and if they add at the trade deadline, they'll need a bat or two. David Schoenfield of ESPN predicts that the Rangers will add Josh Naylor at the deadline. "The Rangers rank 22nd in the majors in OPS at first base and last at DH, so even factoring in this season's odd low-run environment at Globe Life Field, Naylor is a solution for either position, especially considering their DHs this past week included light-hitting journeyman Sam Haggerty and whichever catcher wasn't starting," Schoenfield writes.

Braves urged to dump $81 million 3x All-Star in deadline blockbuster. Things have gone from bad to worse to catastrophic for the Atlanta Braves. After yet another loss on Tuesday night, the Braves have fallen to 38-46, which means they now trail the Miami Marlins for third place in the National League East. It's becoming a disastrous season, and they may have no choice but to soft sell at the trade deadline. No, that doesn't mean the Braves should trade ace Chris Sale, who is under contract for 2026, when Atlanta could easily rebound.

Despite Peralta being indispensable for Milwaukee this season, trade speculation has followed him due to the Brewers' history of moving stars on the verge of a payday (Peralta's is coming sort of soon in 2027).

Earlier this week we examined the sizable group of Mets fans totally frustrated by the poor pitching that's resulted from a multitude of injuries and poor performances from several of the folks forced into front line roles as a result of physical maladies rendering the expected starting rotation unable to perform. While no one is criticizing what Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor and recently Juan Soto are doing to help the team win games, the fact is that the remainder of the lineup options have not been exactly formidable for opposing teams to control. Look down the list of batting averages on this team and it rapidly becomes clear that hitting the ball up the middle or between the outfielders is something that's simply not happening with any regularity. With Brandon Nimmo delivering a .255 batting average and Starling Marte at .252, these numbers suggest the players are performing well below their career norms.

Two years ago, Giolito switched teams twice in the season's final months, first when Chicago traded him to the Angels on July 26, then after six starts in Anaheim, when he was claimed by Cleveland on August 31. Moving around took its toll after seven years (and 162 starts) with the White Sox. A brutal second half — during which Giolito went through a divorce — included a 6.89 ERA with the Angels and a 7.04 mark with Cleveland.

"We're playing good baseball right now," Baz said Monday in the Rays' clubhouse. After losing three straight starts in early May, Baz has furiously bounced back.

3 Keys For The Cardinals To Defeat Paul Skenes. The St. Louis Cardinals face a daunting challenge on Tuesday night against Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes. Skenes, armed with a triple-digit fastball and devastating slider, has been a nightmare for opposing lineups since he stepped foot on a Major League Baseball diamond. Skenes is phenomenal, but he's not unbeatable. St. Louis can have a successful night against the flamethrower, but the Cardinals will have to focus on three things.

Pirates' Legend Moves Up Another Franchise Leaderboard. PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Pirates all-time great Andrew McCutchen has had a season of broken records within the franchise. While his single in the bottom of the first inning against the Mets on June 28 didn't make any headlines, it helped McCutchen move up another leaderboard in Pirates' history. That single marked his 2,896 total base with the Pirates, moving him past Hall of Fame outfielder Lloyd Waner (1927-41) at 2,895 total bases for seventh spot in franchise history. Total bases measure how many bases a player gets per hit. A single is one base, a double is two bases, a triple is three bases and a home run is four bases.

Why the Milwaukee Brewers Would be a Good Fit For A's Ace. It appears as though the Athletics are at the very least open to trading the ace of their staff, if not openly shopping him according to recent reports, and one team that could end up benefitting from that is the Milwaukee Brewers. Luis Severino holds a 2-9 record and a 5.09 ERA this season, though his numbers on the road have still been pretty good--even after being roughed up by the two best teams in the American League last week. Overall he holds a 3.04 ERA away from Sutter Health Park, and American Family Field has been one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in baseball over the past three years, so his home stats would also likely seen a boost. It also wouldn't hurt that Milwaukee is a pitching factory and they can turn guys into lights out arms on a routine basis.
