Two former LSU baseball players included in three-team trade deadline deal
Former LSU baseball players Hunter Feduccia and Paul Gervase found themselves in the midst of a three-way trade before the MLB trade deadline.
ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Tuesday that the pair was a part of a deal between the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Cincinnati Reds. Gervase is headed to the Dodgers while Feduccia will join the Rays.
A right-handed pitcher, Gervase made his MLB debut for the Rays on June 21. Since then, he pitched 6.1 innings through five games, posting a 4.26 ERA and six strikeouts. Gervase started the year in triple-A, working a 3.12 ERA and 63 strikeouts through 40.1 innings.
The New York Mets selected Gervase in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB Draft, then got traded to the Rays last year. He spent the 2022 season at LSU as a reliever and posted a 1.85 ERA through 39 innings.
Feduccia made his MLB debut in July 2024, six years after the Dodgers took him in the 12th round of the 2018 MLB Draft. The catcher has two big league appearances this year but was optioned to Triple-A in early April. Through 79 games, he has a .290 batting average with 80 hits, 55 runs, and 52 RBI.
The Lake Charles, LA native played collegiate baseball at LSU-Eunice before transferring to LSU. He started 48 games at catcher and batted .233 in 2018.

Morales, Rooker lead Athletics to 7-2 win over Angels
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Luis Morales struck out five in his second career start, Brent Rooker and Colby Thomas hit home runs, and the Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 on Saturday night. Morales (1-0) threw five innings and allowed one run, walking two, in his third career appearance. He has allowed two runs in 9 2/3 innings since his Aug. 1 callup. Thomas' two-run homer, his third of the year, put the A's on the board in the first inning. Darell Hernaiz drove in two on a third-inning single, and Rooker padded the A's lead with his solo homer in the fifth. Brett Harris and Rooker added insurance in the eighth with RBI singles. Sean Newcomb threw 1 2/3 innings and struck out three to earn his first save of the year. Nolan Schanuel had three hits, and Angels' starter Tyler Anderson (2-8) allowed four earned runs, three hits, and issued five walks in the loss. The A's have won 6 of their last 10 games, while the Angels have lost 6 of their last 10. Morales walked the bases loaded with two outs in the top of the first, but worked his way out of the jam with no runs scored. He only allowed one more runner to reach scoring position for the rest of his outing. The A's have scored 90 total runs in the first inning, the best in MLB and five clear of second place (Boston with 85). Angels RHP José Soriano (8-9, 3.84 ERA) faces Athletics LHP Jeffrey Springs (10-8, 4.08) in the final game of the three-game series. ___

Astros reportedly targeting pair of aces on trading block with deadline close
The Houston Astros have been busy in the last 24 hours. With Isaac Paredes out for the season, they acquired Roman Urias from the Baltimore Orioles. However, they likely are not done just yet. They are going to need some help on the pitching side. Their starting rotation has been hit hard by injuries this season. There are fortunately a few starters available with the clock ticking before the trade deadline. Mark Feinsand of reports that the Astros are showing interest in both Sandy Alcantara and Dylan Cease. "Cease is definitely up there. Sandy Alcantara is certainly up there. The Astros are in on both." Feinsand said on MLB Network. "I was told yesterday that Cease was the Astros main target. Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Feinsand notes that the issue with Cease being Houston's top target is that San Diego Padres General Manager A.J. Preller is fielding a lot of calls for the right-hander. Still, adding one of the two starters listed could pay huge dividends for the Astros. Houston is 62-47 and holds a five-game lead in the American League West over the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners. The Astros also have the third-best record in the Junior Circuit, and they seem to be pointed towards the postseason. Alcantara would make sense as a pitcher with a few years of control. Framber Valdez is a free agent at season's end and likely will not be back in 2026. But either way, Houston needs a rotation arm or two. We'll see what the Astros are able to do with the deadline looming. More MLB:
