The New York Yankees bolstered their chances of reaching the 2014 MLB playoffs by acquiring third baseman Chase Headley from the San Diego Padres.

The Padres confirmed the swap.

Jack Curry of the YES Network first broke word of the deal Tuesday:

Major League Baseball players have to find a way to keep busy during rain delays. While some choose to slide around on the tarp, others just sit back and relax. 

The Philadelphia Phillies bullpen has come up with a great way to have fun together: bocce.

The Colorado Rockies are not having the 2014 season they envisioned, and things took a turn for the worse Saturday with Troy Tulowitzki.

Will Graves of The Associated Press filled fans in on the details:

The Rockies' public relations team eventually provided an encouraging update:

There was bad blood between the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers' Nolan Ryan, and after this 1993 beatdown from Ryan on Chicago's Robin Ventura, there's no doubt who came out on top.

What are the odds of this? 

On Friday night, Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Dunn got about as close to hitting a home run as one can get with the ball bouncing off the top of the outfield wall twice while still remaining in play. 

A Boston Red Sox ball girl grabbed a screaming line drive, and before she could even toss it to a fan, she realized she had made a huge mistake. 

All one Los Angeles Angels fan wanted was to enjoy a nice night out at the ballpark, but a very rude foul ball quickly put an end to that.

When Seattle Mariners shortstop Brad Miller's ball went foul, it shattered the glass next to where this fan and her date were eating. Judging her (fairly justified) look of contempt, she wanted to remove herself from the situation immediately, quickly asking the waiter for the check.

The Angels have made a serious push for the playoffs after adding Huston Street to solidify the bullpen. The San Diego Padres provided details on the six-player trade to that transpired late Saturday night:

The Houston Astros and left-handed pitcher Brady Aiken, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2014 Major League Baseball draft, need each other more than ever. Unfortunately, as has been the case so many times this year, injuries left Aiken's future in doubt. 

Things ended up turning for the worse, as the Astros have reportedly failed to sign Aiken after the pitcher was diagnosed with a ligament issue in his throwing arm. The team will now have the second overall pick in the 2015 draft.

New York Yankees fans will want to clear their calendars on Sept. 7 as the team will celebrate the career of Derek Jeter.
