Brewers relievers DL Hall and Grant Anderson leave with injuries during 12-9 loss to Giants

The Associated Press 2 minute read 5:30 PM CDT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee relievers DL Hall and Grant Anderson both left with injuries during the Brewers’ 12-9 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.

Hall looked toward the dugout and bent forward in apparent discomfort after throwing a pitch in the fifth inning. Brewers staff came to the mound to check on him before he was removed from the game.

Anderson took over for Hall but got hit in the right forearm by a liner from Bryce Eldridge in the seventh inning.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters after the game that Hall was undergoing an MRI and that the left-hander’s subscapular and pectoral muscles were hurting. Murphy said Anderson had bruised his forearm.

Arizona Diamondbacks option right-hander Brandon Pfaadt to Triple-A Reno

The Associated Press 2 minute read 4:00 PM CDT

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned right-hander Brandon Pfaadt to Triple-A Reno on Thursday following an inconsistent stint as a reliever.

The Diamondbacks also placed right-handed reliever Taylor Clarke on the family medical emergency list.

Right-hander Kade Strowd and left-hander Philip Abner were recalled from Reno to take their places on the roster.

Pfaadt made three starts early in the season before moving to the bullpen when newcomer Michael Soroka was inserted in the rotation. Pfaadt had a 5.91 ERA in 10 relief appearances, so the Diamondbacks are sending him to Reno to get stretched back out as a starter.

García homers, Wheeler sharp as Phillies beat Padres 6-4 for season sweep

Anthony Sanfilippo, The Associated Press 3 minute read 3:24 PM CDT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Adolis García hit his first home run in nearly a month, Zack Wheeler allowed two hits in seven innings and the Philadelphia Phillies passed the San Diego Padres in the NL wild-card standings with a 6-4 victory on Thursday to complete a season sweep.

García, who signed with Philadelphia in the offseason to provide right-handed power to the lineup, went deep for the first time since May 6. His fifth homer this season came off San Diego starter Lucas Giolito (2-1) in the fifth inning to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead.

Wheeler (5-1) took a no-hitter into the sixth before it was broken up on a bloop single by Bryce Johnson. Wheeler allowed two runs on a homer by Manny Machado while striking out eight.

The Phillies completed their second sweep of the Padres in a week, winning all six games this season. They are 24-10 under interim manager Don Mattingly and have gone from 10 games under .500 to a wild-card position in 37 days.

McMahon hits go-ahead RBI single in 7th as Yankees beat Guardians 2-1 to avoid 3-game sweep

Larry Fleisher, The Associated Press 3 minute read Updated: 9:53 PM CDT

NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan McMahon hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning, Carlos Rodón combined with three relievers on a two-hitter and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 Thursday to salvage the finale of a three-game series that star Aaron Judge missed.

Judge missed the game due to a bruised rib on his right side that was causing shoulder pain. Later Thursday, the Yankees said Judge will be sidelined indefinitely with a stress fracture of his ribs.

The team said the three-time AL MVP was diagnosed with the stress fracture of the first rib on his right side and will need to rest and have limited activity. He’ll be re-evaluated after having additional imaging in about four to six weeks. The Yankees said in a statement that Judge is expected to return “at some point this season.”

Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a tying sacrifice fly in the fourth and started the seventh-inning rally with a one-out walk from Codi Heuer (0-1). Chisholm stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch during consecutive pitches, then scored on McMahon's single as the Yankees went on to win for the seventh time in 10 games.

The Associated Press 2 minute read 2:51 PM CDT

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves have bolstered their depth at catcher by acquiring veteran Austin Wynns from the Los Angeles Angels.

The Braves added the 35-year-old Wynns to the major league roster on Thursday, a day after acquiring him from the Angels for cash.

They designated catcher Chadwick Tromp for assignment before Thursday night's game against Toronto.

Wynns joins Sandy León as the Braves' catchers as the team continues to adjust to injuries to 2025 NL Rookie of the Year Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy. Baldwin was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 19 with a strained right oblique. Manager Walt Weiss said Wednesday that Baldwin was on pace to return in June.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge will be sidelined indefinitely with a stress fracture of one of his ribs, the team announced Thursday night.

The three-time AL MVP was out of the lineup earlier in the day for a third straight game and the Yankees were awaiting clarity about what they said was a bone bruise in one of the slugger’s right ribs that is causing right shoulder pain.

The team later announced Judge was diagnosed with the stress fracture of the first rib on his right side and will need to rest and have limited activity. He'll be re-evaluated after having additional imaging in about four to six weeks. The Yankees said in a statement that Judge is expected to return “at some point this season.”

After avoiding a three-game sweep with a 2-1 victory over Cleveland on Thursday, manager Aaron Boone said the team was awaiting the findings of Dr. Gregory Pearl, a vascular surgery specialist in Dallas.

Phillies beat Padres 3-2 as Sánchez’s scoreless streak ends at 50 2/3 innings

The Associated Press 13 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 10:05 PM CDT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cristopher Sánchez ran his consecutive shutout innings streak to 50 2/3 before allowing a run and earned the win after J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber homered in the seventh inning, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.

Jhoan Duran worked a scoreless ninth for his 14th save.

Sánchez’s streak ranks as the third-best overall dating to the start of the Live Ball Era in 1920 behind the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Orel Hershiser, with a record 59 straight scoreless innings in 1988, and Don Drysdale with 58 in 1968. With a scoreless first inning against the Padres, Sánchez topped Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell’s mark of 45 1/3 in 1933 for longest by a left-hander.

Sánchez (7-2) breezed through six scoreless innings against the Padres before allowing a two-out double in the seventh to Ty France. Sánchez allowed an RBI single to lefty-swinging Jackson Merrill that scored France and accounted for the only run he allowed since the end of April.
