Kiké Hernandez to miss Dodgers' White House visit amid rehab assignment

Dodgers utility man Kiké Hernández will not join the team for the July 23 White House visit to celebrate the 2025 World Series title because he’s on a minor-league rehab assignment for a strained left oblique. He said he’d rather take a day off than participate in team activities if he’s not active, while manager Dave Roberts emphasized it’s an individual choice and expects many teammates to attend. The visit occurs during an East Coast road trip, and this marks the Dodgers’ third White House hosting this decade.

Red Sox survive travel chaos to beat Mets in late-start showdown

A grueling travel day for the Boston Red Sox—two mechanical issues with a Delta charter, a late-night hotel scramble, and a cockpit lightbulb problem—delayed their first pitch at Citi Field to 7:50 p.m. But they still rolled to a 6-2 win over the Mets, their seventh straight victory, aided by early homer support and six solid innings from Sonny Gray. The trip included a special moment when Ceddanne Rafaela was announced as an AL All-Star replacement, providing a lift amid the travel chaos.

Same script, different season: Yankees fans brace for the Cashman-Boone era

Mike Lupica argues that Yankees fans know the pattern: bursts of brilliance followed by midseason slumps, with Aaron Judge’s injury and a roster with gaps that persist under Cashman and Boone; despite early success, the team still struggles with bullpen, catching, and middle-infield depth, making late-season fixes feel like recurring, often insufficient, bets.

Marlins Poised to Add Pieces at Deadline While Keeping Sandy Alcantara

The Miami Marlins, riding a hot streak, are expected to be buyers at the August 3 trade deadline, targeting a back-end starter, bullpen depth, and possibly a third baseman, while keeping franchise icon Sandy Alcantara. With a 20th-ranked farm system and a tight payroll, Miami is likely to pursue cost-efficient upgrades and could trade from the big league roster to preserve prospects. Alcantara’s retention is favored by ownership, and extending him could be preferred if the CBA increases spending; overall, the club aims for a balanced, sustainable push rather than a big, all-in move.
