Kyle Schwarber's 2-run shot, grand slam powers Phillies to 13-3 rout of Orioles
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kyle Schwarber homered twice, including a grand slam in Philadelphia's eight-run sixth inning, and the Phillies pounded the Baltimore Orioles 13-3 win on Monday night. Schwarber finished with six RBIs, running his major league-leading total to 94 on the season. Schwarber's first homer of the game was a two-run shot deep into the second deck that tied it at 3 in the third. He heard 'MVP! MVP!' chants when he came to the plate in the sixth. Schwarber, the All-Star Game MVP, launched his NL-best 40th of the season into the right-center seats off Yaramil Hiraldo for a grand slam that sent the crowd of 41,099 into a frenzy. Harrison Bader homered for the first time since he was acquired by the Phillies at the trade deadline, a tiebreaking three-run shot earlier in the sixth. The Phillies added closer Jhoan Duran and Bader in trades on consecutive days with Minnesota. With his 102.5 mph fastball and electric entrance, Duran was an instant fan favorite in Philly. Bader made his case with a homer off Corbin Martin. Bryce Harper hit a solo shot for the contending Phillies, his 17th. Edmundo Sosa and Weston Wilson hit back-to-back homers in the eighth for a 13-3 lead. Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo (10-5) allowed a two-run homer to Tyler O'Neill and a solo shot to Jordan Westburg over six innings. Key moment Orioles starter Cade Povich (2-6) was pulled after 5 2/3 innings. Martin failed to get out of the jam and allowed a single and Bader's decisive homer.

Aaron Judge could return to Yankees lineup at Texas on Tuesday
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Aaron Judge could be back in the New York Yankees' lineup as early as Tuesday, when their captain is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list after being sidelined because of a flexor strain in his right elbow. Judge hit off Yankees minor league pitchers at the team's complex in Tampa for the second day in a row Monday, and was then expected to join the team in Texas. Manager Aaron Boone said the two-time AL MVP could be available Tuesday for the middle game of the three-game series. 'I don't want to say definitely because I haven't seen him yet, but I think that's the plan,' Boone said before Monday night's series opener against the Rangers. 'I think he's expected in here tonight and we'll make that call.' Judge hasn't played since July 25 because of an elbow strain. An MRI showed no acute damage to his ulnar collateral ligament and he had a platelet-rich injection July 27, when he was placed on the IL in a move retroactive to the previous day. His .342 batting average was still the best in the majors going into Monday's games. He was fourth with 37 homers and fifth with 85 RBIs. If Judge does return while in Texas, Boone said he will be the designated hitter. But the slugging outfielder could also play catch in the next day or so, which will help determine when he could return to the outfield. 'His arm will tell him,' Boone said. The first time Judge said he felt pain in the elbow was July 22 at Toronto, after he made a strong throw home after George Springer singled to right. An inning later, Judge winced after catching a fly in the right-field corner and throwing to second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. Judge was caught by a YES Network camera clenching his right hand in a fist.

Astros' Isaac Paredes will rehab hamstring injury instead of undergoing season-ending surgery
MIAMI (AP) — Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes will rehab his right hamstring injury instead of undergoing surgery in hopes of returning before the season is over, general manager Dana Brown said Monday. Paredes sustained what Brown described as a 'severe' right hamstring strain in a loss to the Seattle Mariners on July 19. He's had multiple rounds of imaging done since then and received a second opinion last week from a doctor, who told him his two choices were to rehab the injury or undergo season-ending surgery. Paredes received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his hamstring and will begin his rehab stint, which will mostly take place in Houston around the team, Brown said. He added that the immediate course of action will be a 'long period' of letting the hamstring rest before beginning any sort of exercise. 'His whole opinion on this is, he wants to work hard to try to get back this season,' Brown said before Houston's series opener at Miami. 'Of course, he's going to dedicate himself to getting back.' The Astros (62-50) currently lead the AL West with around 50 games remaining in the regular season. Surgery would have sidelined Paredes at least six months. 'He's doing well and he's working hard,' Astros manager Joe Espada said. 'He's in good spirits, and I know he would rather be on the field. We hope for the best.' Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Paredes was injured running to first base on a single to left field during a 7-6, 11-inning loss to Seattle. He left the game and was replaced by Zack Short. The 26-year-old Paredes is hitting .259 with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs this season. Brown said that while it is too early to know if foregoing surgery could cause lingering issues in the long run, the team was informed of NFL players who have come back with no problems after rehabbing similar hamstring injuries. 'You can come back from this injury, he said, 'even though it was significant.' ___ AP MLB:
