Duran on the block as Red Sox buy and Giants struggle to shed payroll before the deadline

With the MLB trade deadline looming, Boston is reportedly willing to move outfielder Jarren Duran despite a playoff push, while George Springer could also be moved to provide right-handed power. The Blue Jays are expected to sell, and Washington’s Luis Garcia Jr. is another name in play, but the Giants have struggled to find buyers for long-term contracts like Matt Chapman, Rafael Devers, and Willy Adames and may pivot toward promoting prospects such as Scott Bandura as the deadline approaches.

In other AL East notes, Red Sox pitcher Justin Slaten begins a rehab assignment, Griffin Jax is being stretched back into a starter role for the Rays, and Gavin Lux continues to deal with left ankle stiffness after a shoulder rehab, highlighting the division’s ongoing roster churn.

Springer to 10-day IL; Jays call up Eloy Jimenez

The Toronto Blue Jays placed George Springer on the 10-day injured list with a fracture in his left big toe, promoting Eloy Jimenez to take his roster spot.
