He's ready to turn pro,

The Boston Red Sox put rookie sensation Roman Anthony on the injured list Wednesday after the outfielder experienced left oblique tightness in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Cleveland Guardians. While not giving a specific timetable, Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged that oblique strains typically require four to six weeks of recovery time. "He's one of our best offensive players, but it's not hard," Cora said Wednesday. "We have to move on. We've been through this before."

Payton Tolle, selected in the second round of the 2024 MLB Draft, has been promoted multiple times this season. Starting his year at High-A Greenville, the 22-year-old left-hander has made his way up to Triple-A Worcester. In his last two starts for the WooSox, Tolle has allowed just one run in 10 innings, notching 14 strikeouts. Could he earn a further promotion: This time to Boston?

The Chicago White Sox kicked off trade season by dealing veteran catcher Matt Thaiss to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for outfield prospect Dru Baker.
