Kansas City Royals to promote top prospect Jac Caglianone
Caglianone is the No. 10 prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. The former Florida Gators first baseman, who joined the Royals as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, also spent time as an outfielder and designated hitter this season in the minor leagues.

He hit .322 with 15 home runs and 56 RBIs over 50 games this year between stints with the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers and Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals. Caglianone homered six times in an eight-game stretch with the Storm Chasers, which spanned from May 22 to Friday.
The Royals (31-29) sit in fourth place in the American League Central, eight games behind the division-leading Detroit Tigers (39-21). They hit an MLB-low 34 home runs through their first 30 games of the season.

Reds and Red Sox suspended by rain, will finish as doubleheader Wednesday
The middle game of the three-game series between the Cincinnati Reds and Boston was suspended because of rain with the Red Sox leading 2-1 heading into the fourth inning Tuesday night and will resume as part of a day-night doubleheader. The postponed game will resume at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, and the series finale is set for 7:10 p.m. Play was stopped after lightning was seen in the area, causing umpires to clear the field. Rain started shortly after, and the suspended was announced after 1 hour, 20 minutes. Jarren Duran led off the first with a double off Brady Singer and scored on Roman Anthony's double that put Boston in front. Carlos Narváez added a one-out RBI single. Cincinnati opened the third inning with back-to-back singles by Will Benson and Christian Encarnacion-Strand off Richard Fitts, and Matt McClain hit an RBI groundout. Up Next Cincinnati RHP Nick Martinez (5-8, 4.12 ERA) is set to start the scheduled game Wednesday, his first start since losing a no-hit bid in the ninth inning last week against San Diego. RHP Brayan Bello (3-3, 3.41) is slated to start for the Red Sox.

How do the Mets' long-term needs influence their trade deadline plans?
The trade deadline isn't just your last chance to build your roster for the rest of this season. It's one of your first chances to construct your team for next season and beyond. The New York Mets were always going to be buyers this July 31. Their recent swoon and the injuries that have helped produce it may lead them to be more aggressive buyers than most would have thought a month ago. A team that didn't have any pressing needs at the start of June has them all over the place to begin July. Advertisement If you don't think the deadline is a way to plan ahead, just check out some of the moves David Stearns made last season. In Jesse Winker and Ryne Stanek, the Mets added players they were ultimately interested in re-signing because of the longer-term needs at their respective positions. With Huascar Brazobán and Tyler Zuber, they brought in players who were likelier to be bigger pieces of the puzzle over time. Let's take a glimpse at where the Mets can buttress themselves now and into 2026. The Mets have most of this group not only under contract, but under contract for a long time. They have team control of Juan Soto through 2039, Francisco Lindor through 2031, Brandon Nimmo through 2030, Mark Vientos, Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio through 2029. Francisco Alvarez is signed through 2028, as are Jeff McNeil and Jose Siri through 2027. The main spots they will need to address this winter are at first base and designated hitter — both positions where it would behoove New York to maintain some flexibility. That way, the Mets can decide how aggressively to pursue a longer-term arrangement with Pete Alonso while figuring out where to fit their young players. Center field does stand out as one place where the Mets could make a longer-term play at the deadline. While Siri and Tyrone Taylor are controlled beyond this season, they haven't played often enough (in Siri's case) or well enough (in Taylor's) to dissuade the Mets from a potential upgrade. The challenge there is finding that upgrade. Luis Robert Jr. of the White Sox is having another subpar season, and Baltimore's Cedric Mullins is an impending free agent. Defensive metrics loved Boston's Jarren Duran in center field last year but are mixed on him in left field this year, where he's played almost all the time. His offense has also regressed significantly. Advertisement It sure doesn't feel like it as they scramble to find starters right now, but unlike the past few winters, the Mets should not need to rebuild their rotation through free agency. Barring another long-term injury or Frankie Montas surprisingly declining his player option, New York should have six established major-league starters under contract entering spring 2026. That doesn't include Christian Scott's return from Tommy John surgery or the next wave of starters coming up through the system like Blade Tidwell, Brandon Sproat, Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong. Quantity should not be a problem. As such, it doesn't make sense for the Mets to add a back-of-the-rotation starter with extended team control this summer. However, those half-dozen starters slated to return in 2026 aren't so good that you'd rule out adding a front-line starter for beyond this season — someone like Miami's Sandy Alcantara or Edward Cabrera, depending on how much you buy into their respective turnarounds. aLI stands for average leverage index for each pitcher's appearances. A standard leverage index is scaled to one, so pitchers with an aLI higher than one pitch in bigger situations than the average, while those below one pitch in less important spots. Given how few relievers sign multi-year deals, the bullpen is typically not a spot where you're adding long-term pieces in-season. Atlanta's Alex Anthopoulos is basically the only GM who has done that multiple times. Still, there's obvious uncertainty around the Mets' late-game relievers right now, and that will continue into next season. The key decision after the season is Edwin Díaz's opt-out. Díaz can opt in to the final two years of his contract, which will pay him $38 million. If Díaz does so, the Mets hold a club option for a third year that would raise the total deal to $54.25 million. Or he could opt out and try to build off a closer market that has seen Josh Hader and Tanner Scott do very well for themselves since Díaz signed his deal. Advertisement As with first base, this is not a spot the Mets would proactively fill at the deadline (like when they traded for Marcus Stroman in anticipation of letting Zack Wheeler walk in 2019). However, there is room for another set-up reliever or two, and if either came with extra years of control (like the Pirates' David Bednar or the Angels' Reid Detmers), that wouldn't be a problem.

Grant Holmes dominant again, Braves offense terrible, Brian Snitker (very) frustrated
ATLANTA — The spiraling Atlanta Braves wasted another impressive start from Grant Holmes on Tuesday, and manager Brian Snitker sounded as if frustrations had reached a new level, or at least like he needed to share something that was eating at him. The Los Angeles Angels used a four-run eighth inning against the Atlanta bullpen to win 4-0, handing the Braves their fifth loss in six games and third shutout in five and dropping them to fourth place in the National League East, behind the perpetually rebuilding Miami Marlins. Advertisement The Braves were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, which isn't unusual for them. What made it notable was when Snitker was asked afterward if it's a mental thing with Atlanta's hitters and he responded by pointing to technology. Too much of it. 'I'm telling you, this is the mental game,' he said. 'All of it. It's about confidence and feel. I think we probably overwhelm ourselves with mechanics and video and all that kind of stuff. We've made it a really mental game, I think, in the industry. 'They didn't have all this information, they didn't have all the video and whatever, and those guys put up unbelievable numbers and made it to the Hall of Fame. But now we're kind of overanalyzing everything.' Paralysis by analysis, as it's referred to in sports. Snitker didn't use that terminology, but he didn't have to. He also didn't say who 'they' were, but he didn't have to. It was all the former Braves greats. Yes, the season has spiraled to that point for the Braves, who are a mediocre team that looks much worse a lot of nights. They have a new hitting coach after firing Kevin Seitzer following his 10th season. That's not working out well, to say the least. Now, analytics feel like an albatross for the manager. It's bad. The Braves have lost three of the first four games on this homestand and are 11 1/2 games behind the division-leading Philadelphia Phillies and 9 1/2 games behind the New York Mets. And yes, they are a half-game behind the Marlins. Repeat: The Braves trail the Marlins. Atlanta also slipped to ninth in the NL wild-card standings. Analyze that. Holmes had 10 strikeouts in six scoreless innings Tuesday, after posting a career-high 15 strikeouts three starts ago in 6 1/3 innings of a 10-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies on June 15. In that one, he was charged with two earned runs, including one after he left the game. And so, he has 25 strikeouts with six hits and two earned runs allowed in 12 1/3 innings of those two starts, and Atlanta lost both. Once again, the bullpen and offense failed him Tuesday, but Holmes handled it with typical aplomb. 👏👏👏#BravesCountry — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 2, 2025 'We don't come to the field and expect to not hit or not pitch well,' he said. 'We come to the field and we expect to pitch well and hit well. So it's just the life of baseball. It can be so rewarding and suck so much at the same time. So, it is what it is.' When the Braves shuffled their rotation plans and had Holmes move up a day to start Tuesday instead of rookie Didier Fuentes, there was immediate speculation that they would start someone else in place of Fuentes. Advertisement Snitker said no; they just wanted to have Holmes pitch on regular rest (four days) rather than have the extra day after the team was off Monday. Holmes, who spent a decade in the minor leagues with a few organizations before making his MLB debut last summer with the Braves, has improved so rapidly and to such a degree that he has become one of Atlanta's top three starters while Chris Sale is sidelined — and arguably even if Sale wasn't out. The right-hander has been that good. Holmes' recent statistics compare favorably with those of Spencer Strider in Strider's first season after elbow surgery. Holmes held the Angels to three hits and three walks, his second scoreless outing in his past three starts. He threw 106 pitches and generated 54 swings, including 27 whiffs, the fourth-highest swing-and-miss total by a Braves pitcher since tracking began in 2008. Holmes, who also had 25 swings-and-misses in the Colorado game, joined the Detroit Tigers' Tarik Skubal, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, as the only pitchers in the majors this season to have two starts with at least 25 swings-and-misses. After opening the season with one relief appearance, then posting a 4.70 ERA in his first seven starts, Holmes has carved a 2.70 ERA in his past 10 starts with 73 strikeouts and 25 walks in 56 2/3 innings. And in his past four, he has a 1.56 ERA with 36 strikeouts and 13 walks in 23 innings. But the punchless Braves are just 6-11 in his starts. Barring a late change in plans, Fuentes is set to make his first home start Wednesday, after going 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA in his first two starts, which came on the trip last week in Miami and New York (against the Mets). He just turned 20 and is a year younger than any other major leaguer this season. He had only six minor-league starts above the High-A level — one in Triple A — before being thrust into what was supposed to be a major-league spot start in Miami. Advertisement Then Sale was diagnosed with a fractured rib cage, and Fuentes stayed to make another start in New York, which didn't go well. The Mets feasted on his poorly located pitches for eight hits, six runs and two homers in 3 1/3 innings. Still, the Braves like what they've seen in his stuff — he throws in the upper 90s and has a good breaking ball — and maturity, if not his command. But given his age and inexperience, his results can't be considered surprising. The Braves traded for bullpen depth Tuesday, getting Hunter Stratton from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for a minor-league outfielder and cash, and transferred Sale to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man roster spot for Stratton. Moving Sale from the 15-day to the extended IL was expected, even if perhaps disheartening to optimistic Braves fans who hoped the lefty ace would be back before late August. That wasn't realistic, since he's recovering from a fractured rib cage that happened on a diving fielding play June 18. The Braves had not given any timetable on Sale, but a fracture was always going to mean at least a month of not throwing while the bones heal (Sale said he has two 'small fractures'). And he will need to rebuild arm strength and stamina and do an injury-rehab stint before he's activated. So, now we know officially that he'll be out at least until Aug. 19. The Braves can only hope they've gone on an extended surge to be legit playoff contenders before then. Stratton was optioned to Triple A for the time being. The 28-year-old righty has a 96 mph fastball as well as a sinker and slider. He posted a 3.58 ERA in 36 appearances as a rookie in 2024 with 33 strikeouts and seven walks in 37 2/3 innings. But this season, Stratton spent most of three months in Triple A, making just three appearances with Pittsburgh and posting a 23.63 ERA with 10 hits and seven runs allowed in 2 2/3 innings. Advertisement In the trade, the Pirates got outfielder Titus Dumitru, 22, a 16th-round draft pick by the Braves in 2024 out of New Mexico State University. He hit .227 with four homers, 17 stolen bases and a .638 OPS in 91 games over two seasons, including 64 games this season at High-A Rome. Slumping center fielder Michael Harris II returned to the lineup Tuesday after being given weekend games off for a mental break. Harris snapped an 0-for-22 skid when he tripled to lead off the fifth inning, but he was stranded there when Nick Allen followed with a popup and Ronald Acuña Jr. struck out (Acuña was 0-for-4 with four strikeouts). Money Mike!#InvescoQQQ | @InvescoUS — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 2, 2025 After getting behind in the count 3-0 to Matt Olson, Angels starter Tyler Anderson intentionally walked him to bring up Marcell Ozuna, who flied out to end the inning with runners on the corners in a scoreless game, the Braves having failed to score after a leadoff triple. Harris hit .148 with four extra-base hits, 25 strikeouts and a .426 OPS in 25 games in June. He has not walked since May 18, a career-high stretch of 135 plate appearances without a walk. That's staggering. He entered Tuesday with the lowest OBP (.238) and OPS (.559) among all MLB qualifiers, though Harris' defensive metrics ranked among NL outfield leaders.
