A look at what’s happening around the majors today

A look at what’s happening around the majors today:DEADLINE DAYTeams have until 4 p.m. EDT to swing a trade without waivers Masahiro Tanaka Jersey , meaning it could be the last chance for contenders to land some top targets. Could Bryce Harper really be on the move? Will the Rays find a new home for Chris Archer? What about the Rangers and Adrian Beltre? Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen, Twins second baseman Brian Dozier and Rays reliever Sergio Romo could go, too. Meanwhile, there hasn’t been any movement from the Mets to trade Jacob deGrom or Noah Syndergaard, though Zach Wheeler could still wind up elsewhere.THE CLOSER’S OPENERBefore Roberto Osuna steps onto the mound as Houston’s new closer, the Astros want him to stand in the clubhouse and explain himself. The former Blue Jays closer was traded by Toronto to Houston on Monday, but he won’t pitch until at least next week as he serves a 75-game suspension under Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. Osuna was charged with one count of assault in Toronto in May Miguel Andujar Jersey , which remains pending. Astros pitchers Justin Verlander and Lance McCullers Jr. have been outspoken in their disdain for domestic abusers, and Verlander expects that Osuna will address the team before he makes his Astros debut.”We don’t know the whole story,” Verlander said. ”Obviously I’ve said some pretty inflammatory things about stuff like this in the past and I stand by my words.”But I think with an ongoing case as is this one, just see what happens. But it will be interesting. I think he plans to talk to us when he gets here and we’ll go from there and see what happens.”DEALIN’ DIPOTOMariners GM Jerry Dipoto has given manager Scott Servais a whole new bullpen. Seattle acquired left-hander Zach Duke from the Twins and right-hander Adam Warren from the Yankees on Monday. Dipoto also acquired righty Sam Tuivailala from St. Louis last week. Dipoto said the additions combined with what Seattle already has in its bullpen should help Servais keep everyone fresh.”Obviously a lot of teams are looking to add to the bullpen this time of year with the trade deadline coming up. I’m not surprised,” Servais said. ”It may not be the last thing we do.”BABY BRAVESKolby Allard is set to become the latest prospect to debut for Atlanta this season when the 20-year-old left-hander starts against Miami. Allard was a first-round pick in 2015 and has been at Triple-A all of this season, going 6-4 with a 2.80 ERA. Allard joins Ozzie Albies, Luiz Gohara http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , Ronald Acuna and Mike Soroka as Braves players to debut before their 22nd birthday since the start of 2017.— The Los Angeles Angels聽announced some crushing news on Wednesday, that Tommy John surgery was recommended for rookie star Shohei Ohtani.Shohei Ohtani underwent an MRI on his right elbow earlier today. The imaging revealed new damage to his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). Based on these findings, UCL reconstruction surgery is the recommended plan of care. Additional information will be provided when appropriate.— Angels (@Angels) September 5, 2018So what did Ohtani do about it on Wednesday聽night during the Angels clash with the Texas Rangers? All he did was step聽deliver four hits, and two of them went over the wall for home runs.The rookie is on 馃敟!Ohtani with 2 HRs tonight and 3 HRs in 2 games!

If he does Kendall Graveman Jersey , he probably wouldn't be able to pitch again until 2020. But judging by his performance on Wednesday, Ohtani isn't bothered by the elbow injury, and he can still crush the ball with relative ease.advertisingIt was a great moment for the Angels in what's been a disappointing 2018 season. Injuries have piled up on their key players. Albert Pujols required knee surgery and is missing the final month of the season, starting pitcher Garrett Richards needed Tommy John surgery and Mike Trout missed time with a wrist injury. Credit: Tim Heitman-USA TODAY SportsAs a batter, Ohtani is batting .287 with 18 home runs, 47 RBI and an OPS of .946. On the mound, he's 4-2 with a 3.31 ERA and has 63 strikeouts in 51.2 innings pitched. Ohtani has come every bit as advertised for the Angels thus far http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-jose-canseco-jersey , and if the elbow injury doesn't hamper him throughout his career, this guy will be a once-in-a-lifetime superstar.advertisingThe Angels enter play on with a 68-72 record, which isn't all that bad considering three teams in the AL West could finish 20 games above .500. If they can fix their pitching staff and get healthy versions of Ohtani and Trout over the long-term future, the Angels certainly could be a juggernaut.2018 has been a lost season for the Angels, but at least Ohtani has given this franchise a lot to be excited about for the future.
