Yankees down Orioles 6-1 as Judge belts his 53rd homer and Stanton adds a early blast, setting the tone for a blowout while Cam Schlittler shoves Seven innings with two hits allowed. Baltimore scraps three hits, Sugano’s final start yields four runs in 4.1; Grant Wolfram walks a bunch in 0.2. Mayo’s 11th homer provides the only O’s highlight in a day that underscored the gap between the contenders and cellar-dwellers.

With game 162 on the horizon, Bradish faces Gil as the finale looms and a flurry of roster moves (Enns on paternity list, Wolfram added, Povich optioned for Ragsdale) shape 2026 chatter. Jays and Rays loom as the backdrop for Baltimore’s endgame and future adjustments.

Morton signs with the Braves on a major league deal after Detroit DFA’d him, adding veteran innings for a late-season push and possible playoff depth. This marks his third stint in Atlanta, a reunion that could reshape the final week of the season.

The 41-year-old replaces uncertainty in Atlanta’s rotation with a proven postseason contributor who has World Series titles with Houston (2017) and Atlanta (2021). He went 9-11 with a 5.89 ERA in 32 appearances (26 starts) this year, but his career totals—2,266 innings and 2,195 strikeouts—remain elite.

Atlanta moved Jhancarlos Lara to Gwinnett and designated Carson Ragsdale, clearing room for Morton to be evaluated immediately on arrival. The plan remains fluid as the club weighs how much Morton will pitch in the final week and beyond.

Fantasy managers should view Morton as a speculative late-season add in deeper formats. If he’s stretched out, he could provide a few spot starts with potential upside in favorable matchups, though workload and role remain the wild cards.

Toronto closed a 5-1 homestand with an 11-2 win over Baltimore, sweeping the Orioles at Rogers Centre. Bieber steadied the mound with six innings, allowing only a second-inning solo shot to Coby Mayo as damage. Springer and Clement sparked the offense with timely hits to seize control early, and the lineup leaned on depth in the wake of Bo Bichette’s IL stint.

Springer then crushed his 29th homer off Carson Ragsdale in his major-league debut, capping a multi-hit and power-filled day for Toronto. The Jays fed off a longer lineup, with Giménez and Clement driving in crucial runs and the clubhouse vibe—Sandlot-like and tight—fuelling confidence as they head into the stretch and potential playoff push.

Baltimore goes bullpen-heavy to avert a Blue Jays sweep, with Carson Ragsdale in line for a major-league debut after a strong Tides run. Albert Suárez will start for the Orioles as they lean on late-season depth. On offense, Samuel Basallo shifts to DH while Dylan Beavers stays atop the lineup, eyeing a continued on-base streak that’s fueled a September surge. Toronto counters with Shane Bieber as they hold first place.

Beavers has walked 20 times in 23 games, and Basallo, Beavers, Henderson and company must sustain the offense after four runs in yesterday’s loss. A note: Ravens play later today, inviting cross-talk in this thread about both O’s and the home team from Baltimore.

The San Francisco Giants’ young pitching talent shines brightly this spring training, featuring three pitchers named Carson: Carson Seymour, Carson Ragsdale, and Carson Whisenhunt. All have made strides toward major league readiness, with Seymour impressing as a consistent innings-eater and Ragsdale showcasing a strikeout-heavy approach. Whisenhunt, the most touted of the trio, is expected to make an impact soon, moving past minor league struggles to refine his pitches.

General Manager Zack Minasian expresses optimism about the future, citing the depth of young talent that could bolster the team's rotation. With a focus on developing these players, the Giants are positioning themselves to rely on their promising arms as they navigate through the upcoming MLB season.
