With the Tampa Bay Rays slowly drifting out of the playoff race, the team reportedly could move on from two key players ahead of the trade deadline.

In the second half Milan pulled away with Ruben Loftus-Cheek scoring and a double from Noah Okafor off the bench caught out the Reds. Cody Gakpo was on the scoresheet for Liverpool in stoppage time as new signing Hugo Ekitike looked on from sidelines.

Bayern Munich have resumed talks with Liverpool over a deal for forward Luis Diaz. The Bavarian club are yet to submit a second bid for the Colombian winger but remain keen on a deal, and are now in regular dialogue with Liverpool.

Diaz recently told Mark W. Sanchez of the New York Post that he would be open to playing for Puerto Rico in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. During the 2023 tournament, the New York righty suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee while celebrating a win over the Dominican Republic.

After escaping the eighth, an inning in which Díaz clipped Travis d’Arnaud as soon as he replaced Brooks Raley, Díaz drilled Chris Taylor square in the helmet with a 96 mph four-seam fastball with the first pitch of the ninth.
