- The Jason Vosler outfield experiment may be short-lived.
Dominic Canzone is set to begin a rehabilitation assignment for Tacoma tonight. He's hitting second and playing left field, will only be out there for the first few innings.

Around the league...
- Mike Trout will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a meniscus tear during his rehab stint.
- Major League Baseball has made some changes to the MLB postseason format that would allow the World Series to begin earlier if the League Championship Series are both wrapped up by a certain date.
- 2024 1st overall draft pick Travis Bazzana hit his first-ever professional homer on Wednesday — and it was a grand slam.
- Aaron Judge and Juan Soto have created an absurd number of runs this season for the Yankees. Michael Baumann at Fangraphs weighs their numbers against the rest of the league — and MLB history.
- With the Blue Jays agreeing to a deal with first-rounder Trey Yesavage and the Orioles managing to secure an agreement with Vance Honeycutt, all 2024 first-round picks have signed professional contracts. In fact, only four players in the top 315 picks failed to sign a deal.
