The New York Yankees made a pair of minor moves before the MLB Trade Deadline, acquiring right-handed reliever Keynan Middleton from the White Sox in exchange for Minor League righty Juan Carela, and obtaining right-hander Spencer Howard from the Rangers for cash considerations. The Yankees had been undecided about being buyers or sellers due to their inconsistent performance this season. General manager Brian Cashman had left field, catcher, and bullpen help on his shopping list, but ultimately made only these two moves.
The Texas Rangers suffered an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, with Isaac Paredes hitting a double and two multi-run home runs to drive in the first six runs for Tampa Bay. The Rangers managed just three runs, all on solo home runs, and turned to Spencer Howard to try to soak up some innings, but he retired just one batter in his 2023 big league debut. Leody Taveras hit two solo home runs for Texas.
The Texas Rangers have moved their ace pitcher, Jacob deGrom, to the 60-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. The move means he won't be eligible to return until June 28. Spencer Howard, who had been on the 60-day IL with a lat issue, will replace him on the active roster. The Rangers will do a second MRI on deGrom's elbow to get a better idea of his recovery. Despite deGrom's absence, the Rangers have been dominant with a 38-20 record.
