Overview
- The New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves after Brett Baty hit his first career grand slam Monday and the club placed closer Devin Williams on the 15-day injured list with Kodai Senga recording his first career save.
- The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 2-1 after a rare, 15-minute review applied the “apparent fourth out” rule to award Boston a run and Toronto starter Jameson Taillon exited after four scoreless innings with right forearm discomfort.
- The Houston Astros rallied for a 6-3, 10-inning win over the San Francisco Giants when Jeremy Peña delivered the go-ahead single and Isaac Paredes added a two-run double while Josh Hader worked a multi-inning save.
- San Francisco’s slide continued, dropping multiple games and prompting the promotion of rookie Blade Tidwell to the rotation, while teams across the league have been inserting deadline acquisitions and Triple-A recalls into immediate roles.
- The trade-deadline roster churn plus a week of extra-inning games has intensified bullpen usage and heightened short-term risk for starters and relievers, making injury reports and workload management key storylines to watch.
