Mets P Kodai Senga exits with apparent leg injury
June 12 - New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga exited Thursday's game against the visiting Washington Nationals because of an apparent right leg injury.
With one out in the sixth, Senga raced over to cover first base on a grounder by CJ Abrams. First baseman Pete Alonso fielded the ball but made a high throw as Senga covered the bag.
Senga leaped to corral the ball and landed awkwardly on the bag for the out but immediately went down in foul territory. He was holding his right hamstring and exited the game after a brief consultation with manager Carlos Mendoza and a trainer.
Senga allowed just one hit and the Mets held a 4-0 lead when he exited the contest.
Senga, 32, entered Thursday with a 6-3 record and his 5 2/3 innings lowered his ERA to an MLB-best 1.47.

Chicago Cubs broadcast leaves viewers stunned as Justin Turner is seen engaging in lewd celebration
Chicago Cubs fans were stunned on Thursday night as their team's home broadcast showed Justin Turner engaging in an extremely lewd celebration. Turner, 40, did not appear in the game for Chicago but was dubbed the 'Fan of the Game' by Marquee Sports Network, as they showed a clip of him celebrating with outfielder Seiya Suzuki. But the veteran Turner's cheers were from from typical, as the infielder was actually seen wearing a pair of fake testicles as he jumped up and down. The 2020 World Series champion smiled wide as he pumped his arms in the air while wearing the bizarre item, and fans couldn't believe that Marquee aired the NSFW moment. 'I was like is the camera guy blind or did he do it on purpose,' one fan asked on X, including a laughing-crying emoji in their post. 'Broadcast got some balls to show that,' a second joked. Suzuki rounds the bases after hitting a home run in the bottom of the sixth inning 'For most men, it's the simple things,' a third added. And a fourth said: 'Did we just win it all?' According to the New York Post, broadcasters Boog Sciambi and Jim Deshaies went silent for about 30 seconds afterwards as they seemingly realized what had happened on the broadcast. Nonetheless, it was a positive night for the Cubs as they beat the Pirates 3-2 to move to 42-27 on the year. Turner, in his 17th MLB season, has played a reserve role for the red-hot Cubs this season, only appearing in 38 games. In 110 plate appearances, he's hitting .213 with 11 RBIs and one home run. The Cubs have three more games against Pittsburgh this weekend before they'll welcome the Brewers to town.

Reports: Brewers deal RHP Aaron Civale to White Sox
June 13 - One day after Aaron Civale requested a trade, the Milwaukee Brewers obliged and shipped the right-hander to the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Multiple outlets reported the deal, with first baseman Andrew Vaughn heading to the Brewers in exchange for the pitcher. Civale lost his starting role to top prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who threw five no-hit innings in a dazzling debut Thursday to beat the St. Louis Cardinals. After the team informed Civale that he was moving to the bullpen, his agent, Jack Toffey, made the trade request to Brewers general manager Matt Arnold. "The conversation was very professional," Toffey said Thursday, per The Athletic. "I just very respectfully said that Aaron would really like an opportunity to continue his career as a starter. He's going to be a free agent at the end of the year." Toffey added that Civale was not disgruntled but merely examining his options. "Aaron is not angry or banging his fist on the table," Toffey said. "But it's a little confusing because he did not pitch his way out of the rotation whatsoever. It's more of a subjective choice the organization is making." Civale, who turned 30 on Thursday, has recorded all 122 of his regular-season appearances as a starter. He did come out of the bullpen in a Game 1 loss of the 2024 National League wild-card series against the New York Mets, throwing three scoreless innings. Civale is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA in five starts this season with Milwaukee. He is 40-37 with a 4.06 ERA in his career with Cleveland (2019-23), the Tampa Bay Rays (2023-24) and Brewers, who traded for him last July. Vaughn, 27, was demoted to Triple-A Charlotte last month after hitting .189 with five home runs and 19 RBIs in 48 games this season. Vaughn has batted .248 with 77 homers and 293 RBIs in 610 games since the White Sox drafted him third overall in the 2019 MLB Draft. --Field Level Media

MLB roundup: Cramp ends Brewers prospect's no-hit bid in debut
June 13 - In his major league debut, highly touted Brewers prospect Jacob Misiorowski tossed five hitless innings before exiting with a leg cramp to pace Milwaukee to a 6-0 victory over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series. The hard-throwing 23-year-old right-hander struck out five before appearing to stumble on his third pitch of the sixth inning to Victor Scott II. Nick Mears relieved and finished the walk to Scott, the fourth charged to Misiorowski in an 81-pitch outing. The Brewers announced later that Misiorowski left with right calf and quad cramping. Misiorowski (1-0) topped 100 mph on four of his six pitches to Lars Nootbaar to open the game, hitting 102.2 mph on his fifth pitch, and fanned Pedro Pages on a 101.1 mph four-seam fastball to end the fifth. Jackson Chourio hit a two-run homer to cap a five-run fifth against Sonny Gray (7-2) that put the Brewers up 6-0. Sal Frelick, who went 3-for-4 and scored twice, hit a two-run single before Chourio's homer. Gray, who was 4-0 in his previous six starts, allowed six runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one. The Cardinals did not get a hit until Willson Contreras' leadoff single off Aaron Ashby in the seventh. Ashby covered the final three innings for his first save. Mets 4, Nationals 3 Starting pitcher Kodai Senga sustained a hamstring strain in a victory over Washington to complete a three-game series sweep. Senga will spend time on the injured list and undergo an MRI on Friday. The starter allowed only two baserunners and zero runs in 5-2/3 innings before exiting, lowering his ERA to an MLB-best 1.47. Jeff McNeil's three-run home run in the first and Brandon Nimmo's solo shot in the fifth gave the Mets a 4-0 advantage. Washington's bats were silent until the ninth inning. Mets reliever Ryne Stanek gave up three consecutive singles and a run before Edwin Diaz replaced him. Diaz surrendered a walk and a single, and threw a wild pitch to allow two more runs before coaxing a pair of groundouts to pick up his 15th save of the season. Yankees 1, Royals 0 Pablo Reyes scored an unearned run from second base on a wild play in the eighth inning following a pitching duel in New York's victory over the host Royals. The Yankees' Will Warren and Royals' Seth Lugo each pitched 5 2/3 innings and the game was still scoreless in the eighth, when Paul Goldschmidt sent a liner off the glove of Vinnie Pasquantino, who tried to get the out at first but was late. Reyes, meanwhile, stopped between third and home, then again broke for the plate, where Freddy Fermin was unable to grab the low throw from Lucas Erceg, who was covering first. Erceg was charged with an error. New York managed just five hits against four Royals pitchers, yet it was enough for the victory to claim all six games this season versus Kansas City. The Royals sit in a 10-19 rut that has dropped them below .500 for the first time since April 27. Rangers 16, Twins 3 Texas hit six home runs, including a trio of three-run home runs, in a trouncing of Minnesota. The Rangers matched the season-high run total they set on Tuesday in the first game of their series against the Twins. Wyatt Langford, Adolis Garcia and Sam Haggerty hit the three-run shots, while Jake Burger, Josh Smith and Evan Carter added solo homers. Texas had 16 hits, including six hits and four home runs off Minnesota starter Bailey Ober. A five-run second inning allowed Texas to quickly pull away, and a six-run sixth inning to grow the Rangers' lead to 13-1 was further assurance. Minnesota had a solid eight hits, but went 3-13 with runners in scoring position and failed to dig themselves out of an early five-run hole. Rockies 8, Giants 7 Orlando Arcia hit a two-run, walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to lift Colorado over San Francisco and snap a five-game Rockies skid. The loss snapped the Giants' six-game winning streak in one-run games. San Francisco has had a penchant for tight games this year, with a major-league-leading 30 one-run games, including today's contest. The Giants quickly built a four-run lead in the second inning on the back of a sacrifice fly and a pair of RBI singles. Colorado notched two runs in the fourth to narrow the lead, but San Francisco swiftly responded with a three-run Dominic Smith homer in the fifth. After falling down 7-2, the Rockies scored six unanswered runs, highlighted by a three-run ninth inning and capped by Arcia's decisive base hit. Tigers 4, Orioles 1 Tarik Skubal pitched seven scoreless innings as Detroit won at Baltimore in the decisive game of a three-game set. Dillon Dingler and Parker Meadows drilled fourth-inning home runs, with Meadows' three-run shot the big blow. Skubal (7-2) struck out six and allowed three singles and two walks. Will Vest handled the ninth for his 12th save. Baltimore's Dylan Carlson (three hits) led off the eighth with a home run. Dean Kremer (5-7) permitted four runs on five hits in seven innings. Cubs 3, Pirates 2 Pete Crow-Armstrong belted a two-run homer and Jameson Taillon recorded his fifth win in as many starts as host Chicago earned a victory over Pittsburgh. Taillon (7-3), who began his career with Pittsburgh, allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. Seiya Suzuki added a solo shot for the Cubs, who won the opener of their 10-game homestand despite mustering just four hits. Adam Frazier sliced an RBI double in the seventh among the four hits for the Pirates, who lost for just the second time in seven games. Pittsburgh starter Andrew Heaney (3-5) yielded three runs on four hits with seven strikeouts and no walks in six innings. Astros 4, White Sox 3 Framber Valdez recorded a season-high 12 strikeouts while leading Houston to a victory over visiting Chicago. Isaac Paredes slugged his club-leading 15th homer and Jose Altuve added a two-run double as the Astros claimed the decisive game of the three-game series. Valdez (7-4) won his fifth consecutive start, firing five innings of two-run ball while permitting seven hits and a walk. Chicago's Miguel Vargas finished 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple, a walk and two runs. Edgar Quero had three hits, including a pair of RBI singles. Davis Martin (2-7) Martin allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings. --Field Level Media
