Young, who played five seasons with the Rockies, worked in the same capacity with the Diamondbacks from 2010-2012. This will be Doyle’s first professional coaching job.

Gallen initially stayed in the game, but the shoulder bruise suffered on a comebacker caused his night to end before the fourth inning. Gallen should be considered day-to-day, but a better idea on if he’ll be able to make his next scheduled start should come in the coming days.

Nuñez drew a walk in the third inning, then knocked a base hit in the fourth to put the Nats on the board with two runs. He collected two more RBI and extended the team’s lead in the tenth with a base-loaded single, driving in four of the team’s six runs on the day. The 25-year-old infielder is hitting .195/.298/.207 with 12 runs scored, 10 RBI, and 12 steals across 96 plate appearances.

Meidroth knocked a base hit in the second inning, then later led off the seventh with a walk before tying the game with a sacrifice fly in the eighth to bring home a run. He’d reach for a third time with a base knock in the tenth. The 24-year-old second baseman is hitting .266/.352/.351 with one homer, 16 runs scored, three RBI, and one steal across 111 plate appearances.

Irvin’s sixth start of the season was his best yet as he held the White Sox scoreless into the sixth inning. He scattered four hits and did not issue a walk while striking out a season-high nine batters on 16 whiffs. The 29-year-old right-hander will take a 4.85 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 34/11 K/BB ratio across 29 2/3 innings into a home start against the Brewers on Friday.

Schultz struck out the side in the second inning, then allowed runners on second and third with no outs in the third inning before escaping the jam with two more strikeouts and a groundout. The Nationals would break through in the fourth, bringing in two runs on two walks and a hit. Schultz settled in for two more innings, ending his day after six on 85 pitches. He collected eight strikeouts on ten swinging strikes. While he’s impressed with his strikeout ability, the 22-year-old left-hander will need to manage the walk issue as he’s allowed four free passes in two of his three starts. Schultz lines up for a start against the Padres in San Diego on Friday.

Schmitt led off the second inning with a double but was thrown out after slipping rounding second base. He made up for the mistake in the sixth, taking Eury Pérez deep for a two-run blast. The 27-year-old infielder has been one of the Giants’ most productive hitters so far, slashing .295/.341/.513 with three homers, eight runs scored, and 10 RBI across 85 plate appearances.

Ramos continues to swing a hot bat, collecting two more hits on Saturday. After knocking a base hit in the sixth inning, he took Tyler Phillips deep for a solo homer to lead off the eighth. It was a rare opposite-field homer by a right-handed hitter at Oracle Park. The 26-year-old outfielder is hitting .277/.320/.426 with three homers, 11 runs scored, and 14 steals across 100 plate appearances.

Ray stranded two runners in a 31-pitch first inning. He worked around a walk in the second, then allowed a run in on two hits in the third. Ray settled in to give the Giants two more scoreless frames, ending his day after five at 97 pitches. He struck out four. The 34-year-old southpaw will take a 2.70 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and a 35/14 K/BB ratio across 33 1/3 innings into a start against the Rays in Tampa Bay on Friday.

Pérez kept the Giants scoreless through four innings until Drew Gilbert took him deep for a solo homer in the fifth. Casey Schmitt followed with a two-run blast off Pérez in the sixth. Pérez walked the following batter and was relieved with one out in the frame at 94 pitches. He scattered seven hits and two walks while striking out six. The 23-year-old right-hander holds a 4.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 33/14 K/BB ratio across 31 1/3 innings. He’ll look to turn things around against the Phillies in Miami on Friday.

Passan reports that the Red Sox also have fired hitting coach Peter Fatse, third base coach Kyle Hudson, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek. This comes after the Red Sox picked up a 17-1 win over the Orioles on Saturday, but this was likely in the works for a long time. Even with the win, Cora and Boston had just a 10-17 record, and the Red Sox will turn to a new leader in hopes of salvaging the season. Cora has compiled a 619-541 win-loss record while leading Boston to a championship in 2019 over his eight seasons as skipper. An interim manager will be announced after the decision becomes official.
