Marlins' Connor Norby to miss 6-to-8 weeks after left wrist surgery
Norby felt wrist soreness during Miami's road series at Baltimore last week and was initially listed with wrist inflammation. The Marlins acquired Norby from Baltimore last summer in the trade that also landed first-time All-Star Kyle Stowers in Miami. While Norby's tenure with the Marlins started strong–he hit .247 with a .315 on-base percentage while hitting seven homers in 36 games–his performance had been uneven this year with a .241 average and .289 on-base percentage, six home runs and 26 RBI in 72 games. He was sidelined the first two months of the season with an oblique injury.
Speaking with Connor in Baltimore he felt like things were starting to come around, manager Clayton McCullough said. He felt better about himself in the box. He felt like he was making some real strides defensively and then not knowing at the time what the length of it was going to be and what it was. But he was sore. I think he was just more disappointed if he was going to have to miss some time he felt right now he was trending.
The Marlins will turn to Graham Pauley and Javier Sanoja in Norby's absence. Pauley has played 23 games at third base this season. Sanoja has played nine. Pauley got the start at third on Friday against Kansas City as Miami began the second half of the season with a six-game homestand.

Grisham's tiebreaking slam in 9th completes Yankees comeback against Braves
Trent Grisham hit a tiebreaking grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning, and the New York Yankees rallied from five runs down to beat the Atlanta Braves 12–9 on Saturday night before a crowd of 42,530, the largest this season at Truist Park. Anthony Volpe homered twice and finished with four RBIs for the Yankees, including a tying shot in the eighth. Cody Bellinger went deep in the seventh to help New York stop a three-game slide. Braves closer Raisel Iglesias (4–6), who hadn't given up a run in 15 appearances, allowed a leadoff double to Paul Goldschmidt in the ninth. One out later, Aaron Judge was intentionally walked, and Giancarlo Stanton drew a walk that loaded the bases. Jazz Chisholm Jr. lined out to third base, but Grisham drove a 1–1 slider to right-center for his 17th home run—equaling his career high set in 2022 with San Diego. Luke Weaver (2–3) earned the win with 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Devin Williams gave up a run in the ninth before closing it out.

Rays Score Go-Ahead Run on Throwing Error in 4-3 Victory Over the Orioles
Tampa, Florida (AP) – Chandler Simpson had a tying RBI single and scored the go-ahead run on Ryan O'Hearn's throwing error in a three-run eighth inning in the Tampa Bay Rays' 4-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night. Tampa Bay rallied after Seranthony Domínguez replaced Baltimore starter Dean Kremer to begin the eighth inning with the Orioles leading 2-1. Ha-Seong Kim had a leadoff single and a steal and scored on Simpson's single to center. Simpson stole second and advanced to third when José Caballero walked on a wild pitch. Caballero stole his 32nd base–tops in the majors–and Gregory Soto replaced Domínguez with the bases loaded. Jonathan Aranda hit a grounder to O'Hearn at first base but his throw home was off target when Soto crossed his path allowing two to score for a 4-2 lead. Tyler O'Neill had a one-out double off Scott Fairbanks in the ninth and scored on Cedric Mullins' two-out single to get Baltimore within a run. Mullins swiped his 14th base before Fairbanks finished it for his 16th save in 19 opportunities. Kremer allowed one run on three hits in seven innings. Domínguez (2-3) retired one batter and allowed three runs–two earned. Tampa starter Zack Littell gave up two runs on seven hits in six innings. Edwin Uceta (6-2) pitched two scoreless innings for the win. Key moment: Fairbanks sealed it when he retired Holliday on a 401-foot fly ball to center on a 3-2 pitch. Key stat: Tampa Bay leads the majors with 127 steals and used three of them in its eighth-inning rally. Up next: Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers (2-1, 1.53) was set to start Sunday opposite RHP Ryan Pepiot (6-7, 3.38).

Shaw had a pinch-hit homer in the seventh against reliever Chris Murphy, and Crow-Armstrong and Happ went back-to-back against Murphy in the eighth. Brad Keller struck out the side in the eighth, and Ryan Brasier worked the ninth for his first save since 2023 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Key moment: With two outs in the seventh, Imanaga allowed back-to-back singles to Masataka Yoshida and Abraham Toro, and Yoshida took third on Imanaga's throwing error. Imanaga induced a shallow fly ball from Connor Wong to end the inning. Key stat: The Cubs went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position. Up next: Garrett Crochet (10-4, 2.23 ERA) will try to help the Red Sox avoid a three-game sweep on Sunday. The Cubs had not announced a starter.
