Hello everyone! Let’s get into the latest from around baseball.
In Mariners news...
Every Julio Rodríguez fun fact is turning into the same fun fact, but boy is that fact fun.
Entering August, Julio Rodríguez was tied for 14th in hits in the AL.
As of Tuesday, Rodríguez leads the AL in hits.
According to @EliasSports, since 1900, Rodríguez would be just the 3rd player to lead his league in hits after trailing the leader by 35 at any point in season. pic.twitter.com/l6vRQZYbc3
Just a few weeks after trading multiple top prospects to secure rental players for a playoff run, the Angels are reversing course — placing several everyday players including Lucas Giolito, Hunter Renfroe, and Randal Grichuk on waivers in the hopes that someone will claim their contracts and get the Angels under the luxury tax threshold.
This is perhaps the craziest Shohei Ohtani stat, to me. But perhaps it really just says more about the instability of the Angels lineup and the number of players they’ve cycled through in the last few years.
Shohei Ohtani - career runs scored by who drove him in
Himself - 171 Jared Walsh - 25 Anthony Rendon - 21 Mike Trout - 17 Taylor Ward - 17 No RBI - 15 Andrelton Simmons - 12 Luis Rengifo - 12 Albert Pujols - 11 Justin Upton - 11
After multiple years of middling production and a personality that has turned even his own fans against him, Josh Donaldson has been released by the Yankees.
Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman are both headed to the injured list, hampering one of the two teams that could realistically knock the Mariners out of the playoff picture (the other being the Red Sox).
Speaking of the Sox, young stud outfielder Jarren Duran will undergo toe surgery, ending his season.
Speaking of the White Sox, this story keeps getting stranger.
As I reported on @ESPN1000 just now… the shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during a #WhiteSox game was indeed an accidental discharge by one of the women “grazed” by the bullet. She reportedly snuck the gun in past metal detectors hiding it in the folds of her belly fat.
