The Tampa Bay Rays have placed shortstop Wander Franco on the restricted list, which takes him off the roster and is, in most cases, unpaid, an MLB official tells ESPN. The league has launched an investigation into social media posts about Franco from Sunday.

The San Francisco Giants are calling up outfielder Wade Meckler, sources tell ESPN. He started the year in High-A and this will be his fourth stop. He was an eighth-round pick in 2022 and is just the fourth player to make the big leagues, with the three others Los Angeles Angels.

@MLBNow
Lars Nootbaar is slashing .377/.470/.739 with 12 XBH and 15 runs in 19 games since July 22 ??

His 1.209 OPS during that span is second in MLB to just Matt Olson's 1.276! (MIN. 50 PA)

New Yorkers can't flee that city fast enough

The Wander Franco story is wild. The fact that the Rays have acknowledged it and put him on the restricted list says there is at least some truth in it.

I’m trying to figure out how all the losers I see at Yankees and Mets games afford that lifestyle.

Jorge Soler, Luis Arraez, and Josh Bell went back-to-back-to-back for Miami tonight.

It's just the second time it's happened in Marlins franchise history.

In 1998, Derrek Lee, Cliff Floyd, and Kevin Orie did it in the 9th inning to spark a 6-run comeback against the Cardinals.

Bobby Witt Jr. already has two infield hits and an inside-the-park home run tonight.

He's the first player to do that in a game since Juan Pierre in 2004.

The Attorney General of the Dominican Republic says that there is a complaint filed by a minor against Wander Franco.

According to the Attorney General of the DR, it's another young woman, not the one on social media, per

He's fricked

Although, knowing these Caribbean countries they could very well be trying to blackmail him. Striking while the pedo iron is hot, so to speak.

Are the Marlins a real team? When the Rangers swept them I heard they aren’t real. I need an Astros fan to explain how this works to me.
