The Atlanta Braves' injury-depleted starting rotation is adding more reinforcements after acquiring Carlos Carrasco from the New York Yankees.

In his third MLB start, Yankees' right-hander Cam Schlittler lasted 4.1 innings, yielding three runs on seven hits and four walks, with five strikeouts, in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

The Chicago Cubs are still searching for a starting pitcher, and one writer believes this package could get the trade done for Joe Ryan.

Probably a little better than the Bronx Bombers, who got schooled again by the Toronto Blue Jays and nearly swept at home by the Philadelphia Phillies, while along the way losing Triple Crown threat Aaron Judge for at least 10 days with a flexor strain in his right elbow.

After being designated for assignment by the New York Yankees, the team led by Aaron Judge, veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu is reportedly looking to join a contender—signaling he’s not ready to walk away from MLB just yet.

The New York Yankees have stumbled after their hot start to the season. Aaron Boone has caught plenty of criticism for the team's struggles.

No one should be surprised if they add one more bat before the deadline, preferably right-handed with the ability to play shortstop if necessary. Outside executives say the Yankees still have interest in obtaining a player offering something from the buffet of defense, righty hitting and/or speed.

The Royals reached a two-year, $46 million guaranteed contract extension with Lugo on Sunday, according to multiple reports. While Lugo was widely considered one of the top trade candidates ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, he'll instead be in Kansas City for years to come.
