The Major League Baseball trade deadline is 6 p.m. ET this coming Thursday, July 31, and the action is beginning to pick up. This past weekend we saw Josh Naylor go to the Mariners and Ryan McMahon go to the 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.

A recent hot streak for Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. has put him back on the radar for a number of contending teams leading up to the trade deadline on Thursday.

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase — a rumored MLB trade deadline target — has been placed on paid leave in connection with a sports-gambling investigation, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Monday. Clase is reportedly on leave through Aug. 31, per The Athletic's Zack Meisel.

Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez hopes he avoided major injury when he was hit in the right index finger by a pitch late in Monday night's 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

The loss of Olson precipitated the Tigers’ trade with the Twins for starting pitcher Chris Paddack, plus reliever Randy Dobnak on Monday.
