'The Password' getting work in at first base, making strides to play position next week with WooSox
WORCESTER — Jhostynxon Garcia keeps swinging a hot bat in Triple-A Worcester. And soon the outfielder nicknamed 'The Password' could be rocking a new glove. After reports circulated last week that Garcia may see time at first base with the WooSox, the No. 2 prospect in the Red Sox organization (per rankings) went through introductory turf work with ground balls ahead of Worcester's win Sunday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Venezuelan-born Garcia worked on his footwork around the bag and receiving throws at first base prior to playing center field for the WooSox in back-to-back games. So could we soon see "The Password" play in a game at first base? 'Maybe, who knows?' Garcia told the T&G through translator and WooSox defensive coach Iggy Suarez. 'Maybe (in) a week, I'll be able to be comfortable enough.' 'Let's see how (it) goes,' WooSox manager Chad Tracy said. 'But we're progressing towards that for sure.' The whole first base discussion aside, Garcia has been scorching hot as of late at the plate for Triple-A Worcester. The 22-year-old was named International League Player of the Week (from July 28 to Aug. 3) after batting .417 (10 for 24) with 4 doubles, 4 home runs, 13 RBIs and 8 runs in six games. He also played in all three outfield spots for the WooSox. 'He showed, in a full week, all the different skills and tools he has and the ways he can impact a game on both sides of the ball,' Tracy said. 'It was a really, really good week for him.' Among his highlights for the week, Garcia hit a grand slam and clobbered homers in three straight games — traveling distances of 441, 356 and 380 feet, respectively. In 55 games with the WooSox this season, Garcia is batting .312 with 15 home runs (to lead the team) and 47 RBIs. He began the year with Double-A Portland and played in 33 games (.256/3/17) before being promoted to Worcester on May 20. 'He has been awesome,' Tracy said. With Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu (and veterans Rob Refsynder and Masataka Yoshida) making up a crowded outfield in Boston, the Red Sox decided to see what Garcia can offer at first base following an MLB trade deadline upon which the club opted not to add any position players from outside the organization. Since starting first baseman Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury on May 2, the Red Sox have platooned Abraham Toro and Romy Gonzalez at the position in Boston. But with The Password knocking on the door for a call up to the big leagues, the organization is seeing how he fares at first base in Worcester to see if Garcia can give them a little flexibility at the position during the stretch run. 'Our outfield situation in the big leagues is pretty clear cut,' Tracy said. Already in his fifth professional season since the Red Sox signed him as an international free agent in July 2019, Garcia was added to Boston's 40-man roster this past offseason. Now the steady outfielder — with a hot bat — is tackling a new challenge with Worcester: first base. Garcia is hoping to help the Red Sox with their playoff push in any capacity necessary. '(I'm) willing to do whatever the team asks,' Garcia said. 'Anything to help contribute and, obviously, those guys are winning up there. Whatever they ask, I'm willing to do.' —Contact Tommy Cassell at tcassell@ Follow him on X, formerly known as Twitter, @tommycassell44.

Ohtani homers for 1,000th hit and strikes out 8, but Cardinals rally past Dodgers 5-3
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani homered for his 1,000th career hit and struck out a season-high eight in four innings on the mound, but the St. Louis Cardinals rallied late to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 on Wednesday. Jordan Walker had three hits for the Cardinals, including an RBI single off Alex Vesia (2-1) that tied the score with two outs in the eighth. St. Louis took a 4-3 lead on the same play when rookie third baseman Alex Freeland made a costly throwing error while trying to get Walker at second. Lars Nootbaar added a run-scoring double off reliever Brock Stewart in the ninth. Walker was a late addition to the starting lineup. He replaced Willson Contreras, who had a stomach bug. JoJo Romero (4-3) earned the win with a scoreless inning of relief. Riley O'Brien got four outs for his first major league save. Ohtani allowed one run and two hits in his eighth start this season. He struck out the side in the fourth. The two-way superstar didn't pitch in 2024 while rehabbing from elbow surgery, though he helped Los Angeles win the World Series with an MVP season at the plate. Ohtani launched a two-run shot in the third, putting the Dodgers ahead 2-1 with his 39th homer of the year. They added a run in the fourth when Andy Pages stole third and scored on a throwing error by catcher Pedro Pagés. St. Louis cut it to 3-2 in the sixth on an RBI groundout by Nootbaar. Key moment Ohtani gave up his first stolen base of the season when Walker swiped second in the third. Key stat The Dodgers got the leadoff man aboard in five straight innings, including Ohtani twice. The Cardinals did the same over the last four innings. Up next Cardinals rookie Michael McGreevy (3-2, 5.08 ERA) starts against Matthew Boyd (11-4, 2.34) and the visiting Chicago Cubs on Friday night. Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 3.29 ERA) pitches against Toronto RHP Max Scherzer (2-1, 4.39) on Friday in a matchup between members of the 3,000-strikeout club.

Blue Jays' Trade Deadline Addition Already Turning Heads In Toronto
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Toronto Blue Jays are one of the more surprising stories in baseball this season. While they came into the season with World Series hopes, they've exceeded these expectations by leading the American League East late in the season, pushing for a potential first-round bye in the postseason. They used the trade deadline to improve the roster in a big way, too. Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter recently shared some high praise for Blue Jays trade deadline addition Louis Varland. Varland was acquired from the Minnesota Twins in an under-the-radar move a few weeks ago. TORONTO, ON - AUGUST 03: Louis Varland #77 of the Toronto Blue Jays delivers a pitch during a game against the Kansas City Royals at Rogers Centre on August 03, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. TORONTO, ON - AUGUST 03: Louis Varland #77 of the Toronto Blue Jays delivers a pitch during a game against the Kansas City Royals at Rogers Centre on August 03, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada."With a fastball that averages 98.1 mph and a nasty knuckle curve that is carrying a whiff rate just under 40 percent, Varland has the stuff to make an impact in the late innings, and he likely would have slid into the closer's role in Minnesota after Jhoan Durán and Griffin Jax were traded if [he] were not also sent packing," Reuter wrote. "Instead, he joins fellow newcomer Seranthony Domínguez and incumbents Brendon Little, Yariel Rodríguez and Jeff Hoffman to give the Blue Jays a potentially dominant late-inning contingent." Varland was one of the more under-the-radar moves at the trade deadline because he was seldom talked about as a potential trade chip. In 49 innings with the Twins, the righty held a 2.02 ERA with an impressive 1.10 WHIP and 212 ERA+. Since joining the Blue Jays, he's tossed three innings and surrendered one run on two hits and a walk. The biggest bonus with Varland is his contract. He's still in the pre-arbitration phase of his deal and doesn't hit arbitration until 2027. The righty won't land in free agency until 2031, giving the Blue Jays a lot of time with him in the bullpen. This looks to be one of the better pickups of the summer.
