Key Points:
- Angels outfielder Mike Trout has returned to the lineup and is hitting home runs again, possibly reconsidering participation in the Home Run Derby.
- Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease lost a no-hitter with one out in the ninth inning against the Giants, having previously thrown a no-hitter in 2024; teammate Luis Arraez, who has broken up multiple no-hitters, was involved in ending the bid.
- Pirates pitcher Jared Jones was pulled after six perfect innings due to pitch count and recent elbow surgery recovery, with the perfect game attempt ending in the seventh inning.
- Twins pitcher Bailey Ober is set to return from elbow inflammation and will likely replace reliever Marco Raya on the active roster, aiming to rebound after a difficult stretch before his injury.
