Rosenthal reports that Tucker’s decision to sign with the Dodgers was “a boiling point” for owners, who are also upset about the Mets’ deal with Bo Bichette. Rosenthal suggests that “the Dodgers and Mets might be the only teams that will try to stand in the way of a cap.” The Dodgers project to have a payroll over $400 million again in 2026, but only three other teams are likely to have a payroll over $300 million, which highlights the disparity that many are worried about. Nothing is confirmed yet, but it seems painstakingly clear that we are headed for another MLB lockout.

The 24-year-old superstar singled to open the fifth inning, but came up hobbling as he rounded first base and was ultimately lifted for a pinch runner after a discussion with the training staff. He’ll head for further evaluation. All fantasy managers and Reds’ fans can do now is wait and hope for the best. The Reds should have an update on his status shortly.

Sánchez went for precautionary X-rays on his wrist after being struck by a ball that was thrown from the stands in right field, but fortunately they came back negative for any fractures. He’s considered day-to-day.

It’s the second time this week that Chisholm has found himself out of the Yankees’ lineup, both times against opposing left-handers. Max Schuemann will start in his place at second base and will bat eighth for the Bombers against Jacob Lopez and the A’s in West Sacramento.

Crews was hit on the hand during Saturday’s game. It sounds like he tried to give it a go on Sunday but was still experiencing soreness so the Nationals opted to give him an extra day off. He’s considered day-to-day.

The Rule 5 pick passed through waivers unclaimed and has been returned to the White Sox after being designated for assignment last weekend. The 25-year-old hurler will report to Triple-A Charlotte.

Sanchez appeared to be hit in the right arm by a baseball that was thrown from a fan in the right field seats. He then had a brief conference with manager John Schneider and the training staff before the decision was made to remove him from the game. Expect Sanchez to undergo precautionary X-rays to rule out any fractures. The Jays should have more on his status after the game.

The 32-year-old slugger has been sidelined since May 18 due to back inflammation. He’s probably only going to need a couple of game’s worth of live at-bats there before he’s ready to return to the Rangers’ lineup. If all goes well, he could be back in action before the end of next week.

With Carmen Mlodzinski being placed on the restricted list on Sunday, Sanders will have another chance to work out of the Pirates’ bullpen. He has made five appearances with the Bucs this season, posting a woeful 10.80 ERA, 2.20 WHIP and a 7/5 K/BB ratio over five innings of work. He’ll function in a middle relief role.

Wow. Mlodzinski voiced his displeasure about being bumped from the Pirates’ rotation to make room for the return of Jared Jones on Friday. Now it appears that the two sides are at an impasse. Expect the trade chatter around Mlodzinski to pick up over the coming days.

Neto was removed from Saturday’s game following a collision at home plate, but it appears as though he suffered nothing more than minor injuries. He’s right back in there at shortstop and batting atop the Halos’ lineup against Rays’ left-hander Shane McClanahan.
