Brewers prospect Trent Grisham hit for the cycle last night, going 5-for-5 with two homers (25, 26). That's now a six-game hit streak for the slugger and multi-hit games in each of his last four. Grisham is batting a ridiculous .381 with 13 homers and six steals in just 34 games for AAA San Antonio. He was a first-round draft pick back in 2015, but struggled prior to this year - hitting just .229 since he left the rookie leagues. He's always had some patience and some power potential, but this year the breakout is on. Читать дальше...

紐約大都會交易陣中主力投手辛德加（Noah Syndergaard）成為最近幾天傳聞熱門人選，根據美國媒體報導，大都會似乎改變心意，想要留下辛德加力拼國聯外卡資格，將之從交易市場上撤回。外媒指出在美國時間周二晚上就傳出辛德加會續留大都會，辛德加甚至在客場先發面對白襪，主投7.1局失1分好表現之後，於賽後向媒體表示不認為自己會被交易。與大都會對話過的其他球隊高層，也認為大都會真的要交易辛德加的可能性，隨著731交易大限期限逼近，變得越來越小。也傳出大都會在辛德加交易價值上索價過高，至少要求準大聯盟先發球員、以及頂級新秀各一條件。相較於辛德加還有球隊控制權；大都會有很大機會交易掉，本季結束後即將成為自由球員的右投惠勒

趕在731交易大限之前，芝加哥小熊把本月稍早剛從皇家交易來的金手套捕手馬度納多（Martín Maldonado），再度交易到休士頓太空人；並從太空人換回本月稍早遭指定轉讓的工具人坎普（Tony Kemp）。這是馬度納多在7月份第二度被交易，小熊隊因主力捕手健康回歸，再加上過去太空人隊就曾在去年731交易大限前，從天使換來馬度納多經驗；雙方一拍即合促成交易，太空人投手群也對於馬度納多接捕經驗頗有好評，並在季後賽成為主戰捕手。今年球季不再有831交易大限，所有大小交易都必須在731之前完成。因此小熊太空人這筆交易被認為，在過去為典型831交易案例，雙方在大小聯盟名單操作上，大於整體戰力增減考量。小熊隊一直在尋找二壘以及外野防區替補戰力

光芒先發打線近期受困於不少傷兵問題，導致在美聯東區排名落後給洋基，稍早光芒發動交易從釀酒人換來曾入選明星賽的一壘手右打亞吉拉（Jesús Aguilar），並送出右投法瑞亞（Jake Faria）給釀酒人完成交易。亞吉拉去年單季敲出生涯最多35轟、108打點入選國聯明星賽；本季於大聯盟出賽94場，繳出打擊率2成25、8轟、34打點成績，與上季相比表現差強人意。但對光芒來說打線缺少強力右打，亞吉拉在7月份打擊數據有復甦跡象而進行交易。釀酒人則是出現嚴重投手傷兵問題，無論先發後援都有戰力缺損問題。從光芒換來過去兩季有先發經驗、本季則是以中繼為主的法瑞亞，能夠稍微緩解釀酒人投手傷兵困擾。兩人對於各自球隊來說都還有一段很長的控制期
