St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn was forced to leave Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants after rolling his right ankle while fielding a ground ball, according to Bay Area News Group's Andrew Baggarly.

The hottest hitter on the planet has been massively overlooked.

But he did all he could to change that Saturday afternoon, breaking through the star power of his teammates to shine as bright as any player has this season.

If you're a fan of the invisible parrot Edwin Encarnacion takes for a stroll as he rounds the bases after home runs, you were in luck Saturday.

There are moments rare enough that you try everything in your power to keep them etched in your memory—like when Jonny Gomes pitches an inning of relief for the Atlanta Braves.

Yes, Jonny Gomes, the left fielder.

Though impact trades are generally few and far between after the July 31 non-waiver deadline passes, teams are by no means done adding pieces when the calendar turns over to August.

Teams can continue to make trades the rest of the season, but a player must be acquired before Sept. 1 in order to be eligible for inclusion on the postseason roster.

A cameraman got hit with a home run ball during the Baltimore Orioles-Texas Rangers game Friday night. But don't worry, he was not fazed. 

During the bottom of the fifth inning, Rangers catcher Chris Gimenez cranked a solo shot to center field to break a 1-1 tie, hitting the poor cameraman right in the arm. The warrior flinched, and then he graced us with a flex.

All baseball fans should have been joyed when Vin Scully decided to come back as an 88-year-old broadcaster. Nothing that might happen in the last days of the month will change any of that.

Considering how inconsistent the top options like Corey Kluber and Jon Lester have been this year, you might be better off saving money with some balance across the board. Here is a look at some of the best bargain picks for August 29.

The dog days have not been kind to Max Scherzer and Alex Rodriguez.

While the Washington Nationals ace can't stop serving up bombs, the New York Yankees designated hitter can't buy a hit—much less a home run. Digging through the numbers, Scherzer and Rodriguez are far from the only prominent big leaguers who have turned into duds at the worst possible moment.

Vin Scully, 87 years young, will return to call games for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016. 

The team made it official Friday night:

The Dodgers called upon both Magic Johnson and Jimmy Kimmel to make the reveal to thousands of grateful Dodgers fans inside Dodger Stadium:
