Yankees set to make key Spencer Jones decision after Aaron Judge injury
It was easy to make the leap once news emerged that Aaron Judge was heading for the Injured List. Is it time for the New York Yankees to call up Spencer Jones? The answer has a bit of yes and a bit of no to it. YES Network's Jack Curry reports that Jones is in consideration, but there's a complicating factor: back spasms. Jones missed Friday's Triple-A game for that reason. "With the Yankees needing a player to take Judge's roster spot for Sunday, it has to be a player who is healthy and ready to play," Curry wrote on X. "With Jones fighting back spasms and not playing at AAA on Friday, I'm guessing it's unlikely he will get the call. Stay tuned." MORE: Nick Kurtz is youngest player in MLB history to hit 4 home runs in one game This doesn't mean Jones won't get the call eventually. He's been on absolute fire for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before his back flared up. Jones has played just 19 Triple-A games, but he already has 13 home runs, including a three-homer game earlier this week at Rochester. The 6-foot-7 lefty gets compared to Judge because of his height, but until recently, it was believed Jones may strike out too much to last in the big leagues. This hot stretch on his first exposure to Triple-A has already changed some minds. And once that back heals up, Judge's injury may open the door to see Jones in pinstripes for the first time in the MLB regular season.

Astros Landing $8 Million Slugger Would Boost Lineup Ahead Of Trade Deadline
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. FanSided's Zachary Rotman recently put together a hypothetical trade idea that would send Baltimore Orioles slugger Ryan O'Hearn to the Houston Astros in exchange for prospects A.J. Blubaugh and Parker Smith. "In this deal, the Astros would acquire O'Hearn, a perfect fit for their lineup. In the short term, Houston can use him primarily as a DH, as Yordan Alvarez is still on the Injured List," Rotman wrote. "When Alvarez is healthy, O'Hearn can play in left field, with Walker etched in as the first baseman. O'Hearn won't provide stellar defense by any means, but he was an All-Star this season because of his bat, and his left-handed swing can add some much-needed balance to a right-handed heavy lineup." BALTIMORE, MD - JUNE 29: Ryan O'Hearn #32 of the Baltimore Orioles takes a swing during a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 29, 2025 in... BALTIMORE, MD - JUNE 29: Ryan O'Hearn #32 of the Baltimore Orioles takes a swing during a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 29, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. MoreBut would this trade idea make sense for both sides? For the Astros, it would provide them with a versatile defender who would upgrade their lineup in a big way. O'Hearn, whether it be at first base, designated hitter, or in the outfield, would be an everyday player for the Astros. Houston would use him in a variety of ways as it looks to make a World Series push this season. Pitching prospects are the biggest thing the Orioles need right now. Blubaugh is incredibly talented and could be ready to pitch in Baltimore as early as this season. The Orioles are likely looking to build their pitching rotation from the ground up, so a deal to acquire two talented young pitchers would be ideal. This could be a slight overpay from the Astros, as it likely wouldn't cost a prospect as talented as Blubaugh to land O'Hearn, but the fit and groundwork make a lot of sense.

Dean Kremer pitches 7 shutout innings to lead Orioles past Marlins
BALTIMORE (AP) — Dean Kremer pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Ryan O'Hearn and Ramón Laureano each had two RBIs and the surging Baltimore Orioles beat the Miami Marlins 5-2 on Friday night. Jordan Westburg had three hits and scored three runs for the Orioles, who have won six of seven to improve to 43-50 — the closest they've been to .500 since May 5. Kremer (8-7) struck out seven, walked one and kept Miami scoreless while allowing only one runner past first base. The right-hander finished his 99-pitch effort with two straight strikeouts. Otto Lopez's two-run homer in the ninth enabled the Marlins to avoid their second consecutive shutout. YANKEES 11, CUBS 0 NEW YORK (AP) — Cody Bellinger hit three two-run homers against his former team and was robbed of a fourth, Aaron Judge made a trio of outstanding catches and New York routed Chicago Cubs for their fifth straight victory following a a six-game losing streak. Carlos Rodón (10-6), who became a three-time All-Star when he was added to the AL roster before the game, allowed four hits in eight innings with eight strikeouts and one walk. Bellinger, who played for the Cubs in 2023 and '24, had his first three-homer game and tied his career high with six RBIs. He homered in a three-run third off Chris Flexen (5-1) and in the fifth against Caleb Thielbar for this 18th multi-homer game. ROCKIES 3, REDS 2 CINCINNATI (AP) — Colorado right-hander Germán Márquez struck out a season-high eight and Hunter Goodman scored on a two-out wild pitch in the eighth inning to lift the Rockies to a victory over Cincinnati. Ryan McMahon hit a two-run homer in the fourth to give the Rockies a 2-1 lead, and Marquez made it stand until he exited after allowing four hits in six innings. But Rockies reliever Jake Bird (3-1) surrendered a single to Will Benson and double to Noelvi Marte leading off the seventh, and T.J. Friedl tied it with an RBI groundout. Reds reliever Tony Santillan (1-3) loaded the bases in the top of the eighth and was one strike away from getting out of the jam before throwing the wild pitch to score Goodman. Cincinnati rookie right-hander Chase Burns had the best, and longest, outing of his young career, striking out a career high 10 in six innings. RED SOX 5, RAYS 4 BOSTON (AP) — Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run, walk-off home run in the ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox extended their winning streak to a season-best eight games with a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night. Rafaela had already extended his RBI streak to seven games when he turned on a slider thrown by Tampa Bay closer Pete Fairbanks (4-3) and sent it over the Green Monster for his 13th homer of the season. Reinstated off the Injured List before the game, Red Sox All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman went 1 for 4 with a double off the Green Monster. Tampa Bay scored in the first inning against Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins , who left the game an inning later due to right knee pain. Chris Murphy (2-0) was one of six relievers used by the Red Sox after Dobbins departed. With his double in the sixth, Tampa Bay outfielder Chandler Simpson extended his hitting streak to 15 games, the longest by a rookie in franchise history. Jonathan Aranda and Jake Mangum each had two hits for the Rays. MARINERS 12, TIGER 3 DETROIT (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit his 37th and 38th home runs to move within one of Barry Bonds' 2001 record for homers before the All-Star break, and Seattle beat Detroit to end Tarik Skubal's three-month unbeaten streak. Raleigh — in the lineup as designated hitter — made it 5-3 on a solo shot in the eighth inning, then hit a grand slam in a seven-run ninth. Skubal (10-3) was 10-0 with a 1.62 ERA in 16 starts since losing 3-2 to the Mariners in Seattle on April 2. He allowed four runs on four hits and two walks in five innings, striking out five. Luis Castillo (6-5) got the win, giving up three runs in five innings.
