No headline from this weekend could possibly top that of Chase Burns, the game’s top pitching prospect, being promoted to start Tuesday’s game against the Yankees. He needed less than a year to traverse the Reds‘ entire minor-league system, following a similar trajectory to Paul Skenes. I’ve gone into greater detail elsewhere, but you shouldn’t need a waiver wire article to tell you to add him wherever he’s available.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that we’ve lost a Cy Young contender, Braves left-hander Chris Sale, for some length of time with a fractured rib. The 36-year-old suffered the injury on a diving play in the ninth inning of his near-complete game against the Mets last Wednesday. What’s weird is that he didn’t wince on the play and even stayed in to strike out another batter, Pete Alonso. Normally, such an injury would cost a pitcher a couple months, but the Braves’ unwillingness to set a timetable until symptoms subside has me hoping against hope that it’ll be a shorter-term absence. At the very least, you should expect him to be out through the All-Star break.
In other news, Jacob Misiorowski followed his no-hit debut by allowing just one hit in six innings Friday. Between his two starts (11 innings in all), he’s thrown 66 percent of his pitches for strikes, supporting the idea that his control gains in the minors this year will carry over to the majors. Meanwhile, Clarke Schmidt threw seven no-hit innings Saturday and has now allowed just six hits in 20 2/3 shutout innings over his past three starts.
On the hitter side, Cal Raleigh homered four times over the weekend, giving him 31 overall. The single-season record for home runs by someone who primarily plays catcher is 48. Raleigh is on pace for 66. Eugenio Suarez homered three times over the weekend, giving him nine in his past 14 games and 25 overall. He’s now on pace for more than the career-best 49 he hit in 2019.
But enough about the players who are already rostered everywhere. What about those who you might actually be able to pick up?

NBA Finals: The Pacers lost Game 7 and star Tyrese Haliburton. How does Indiana prepare for next season?
The Indiana Pacers fell a win short of the NBA championship Sunday night, but the seismic blow to the franchise was the devastating Achilles tear to superstar point guard Tyrese Haliburton.How does a franchise pivot after coming so close to winning it all while losing its top player for perhaps a year or longer?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAnd that isn't the only issue the Pacers are facing.So let's break down what challenges lie ahead, and what the runners-up can do for next season.First things firstHaliburton is presumably going to miss all of next season, which raises significant questions for the Pacers.Do they scale up Andrew Nembhard's minutes and rely more on T.J.

Abel Braga coloca Messi, rival do Palmeiras no Mundial de Clubes, abaixo de Garrincha: “Pelé foi o melhor”

Convicto de que Pelé é o maior craque de todos os tempos, o profissional multicampeão não vê Lionel Messi ocupando o posto de segundo melhor. Isso porque o legado de Garrincha, segundo o discurso veiculado na Record, perde apenas para o desempenho do Rei do Futebol.

Flagg can help Dallas in both the short-term and long-term as a do-it-all forward who hustles like a madman, makes his teammates better as a passer, and has dialed in a knockdown jumper. He’s both the best offensive and defensive prospect in this draft class, making him the safest No. 1 pick in ages. As long as his jumper […]
