On the MLB podcast with Charlie O:

#1 For the San Diego Padres Manny Machado making his first trip to the 10 day IL since 2014. Machado fracturing his hand Monday against the Kansas City Royals. Machado was trying to back away from an inside that hit him on the top left hand.

#2 Charlie how bad does it get for the Los Angeles Dodgers losing some of their top pitching with Julio Urias going down with a left hamstring. Urias is the latest in a line of pitchers who are in the IL. Walker Buehler (Tommy John surgery), Dustin May (right forearm strain), Ryan Pepiot (left oblique strain), Michael Grove (right groin strain), also from the bullpen Blake Treinin (right shoulder), Daniel Hudson (left ACL), Alex Reyes (right labrum), and JP Feyereisen (right shoulder).

#3 With former Cincinnati Red Pete Rose sitting behind home plate the New York Yankees Aaron Judge went 4-4. Judge said after the game “When the hit king’s in town, you’ve got to put some hits out there,” 

#4 The Yankees DFA’d for assignment Aaron Hicks who they owe $20 million. Hicks 33, was hitting .188, with 13 hits, 1 home run, and 5 RBIs. There was a lot of expectations for Hicks coming into the season by the time reporters came into the Yankees locker room Hicks had already cleaned out his locker and said goodbye to his teammates.

#5 The Oakland A’s have closed the gap from needing $395 million to build at the Tropicana Site in Las Vegas to just $75 million after needing $200 million from the Nevada State Legislature. There is little doubt the A’s can close that gap and that would pretty much finance the $1 billion plus ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip.
