MLB Brief: Dansby Swanson on Disabled List | The Orioles will be buyers

Dansby Swanson on injured reserve

Hard blow in Chicago.

Aaron Judge could show up at the All-Star Game

And this, despite his injury.

The Orioles will be buyers

With reason.

Jonathan Schoop DFA

His contract did not prevent him from losing his job.

Alek Manoah is proud of himself

With reason.

Alek Manoah’s clearly in a better place mechanically. He says he’s in a better place mentally, too. No longer “caught up in a bad cycle,” and now “focused on the task at hand.”

The Giants Plan

Reinforcement in the middle of the infield is on the menu.

Alex Bregman’s turn to admire the Blue Jays players

Being able to play with infield guys elsewhere in the league, he would play with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.

Alex Bregman was asked to put himself in his dream infield using current players but no teammates

1B – Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
2B – Marcus Semien
SS – Bo Bichette
