In case you missed it, Angels outfielder Jo Adell pulled a Jose Canseco on Tuesday against the Rockies (video via MLB).
1. Judge seeing specialist for rib injury
Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is heading for additional tests with a team specialist on the bone bruise in his ribcage, manager Aaron Boone told reporters (h/t Bryan Hoch of MLB.com). Boone described the injury as shoulder soreness that Judge had been playing through for weeks, which then became more painful over the weekend. Hoch added in a separate post that while the official diagnosis is a ribcage injury, Judge feels the pain in his shoulder. The reigning MVP hit just .243 last month. His .805 OPS in May was his worst mark for a full month since July 2021.
2. Gleyber homers in return
Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres missed nearly a month with an oblique strain. He came back on Tuesday against the Rays and immediately made an impact. Torres golfed a 3-1 sinker from Steven Matz over the left-center wall for a leadoff home run. It’s the second straight day with a recently returning player hitting a homer for Detroit. The club got outfielder Kerry Carpenter back on Sunday. He picked up a hit in that contest, then went 3-for-5 with a solo shot on Monday. The Tigers have shaken off a four-game losing streak to take the first two from the AL East-leading Rays.
3. Harrison dominates again
Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison fired 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball last night against the Giants. He piled up a career-high 12 strikeouts. Harrison is two outs short of qualifying for the ERA title, but he’d be second in the league behind only Cristopher Sanchez if he had enough innings. The lefty is forming a terrifying duo with right-hander Jacob Misiorowski. Harrison and The Miz are the first teammates since 1913 with a minimum of 10 starts apiece to have sub-2.00 ERAs and at least 11 strikeouts per nine innings this deep into the season (h/t OptaSTATS on X).

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood, sir!
And I never slice.
Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too! 🤣
Is that what this is about? His heritage? Ease up will ya.
I don’t know who should feel worse about losing Harrison & Tibbs, the Giants or the Red Sox.
lol everyone was saying similar doomsdaying about Quinn Priester but that talk has hushed since he’s accumulated a 20+ era in the minors. Let’s see if these guys can succeed for longer than a month before we punch their tickets to the HOF, shall we? Or in Tibbs case, maybe until he actually does literally anything in the major leagues?
I was watching it as it happened. Jo Adell’s miss was not as bad as Jose Canseco’s. Canseco’s hit him directly in the head and bounced over the wall. Adell’s ricocheted off his glove, then his head, then went over the wall. It was just one of those dumb luck things that could only happen to someone that the baseball gods gifted with three robbed homers in the same game earlier this season.
Boone described the injury as shoulder soreness that Judge had been playing through for weeks, which then became more painful over the weekend.
Arrogance, stupidity and karma. Ask. Will we ever get a straight answer from this clown car of an organization?
“bone bruise in his ribcage”
Sure sounds like a shoulder injury.
Good lord, the incompetence.
Harrison & The Miz sounds like a buddy cop show from the 80s that would have been cancelled after 3 episodes.
