Not pleased with what they deemed a lack of professionalism, the New York Yankees let Houston Astros outfielder Carlos Gomez have it on Tuesday night.

Gomez wasn't interested in hearing what they had to say.

With Houston leading 9-0 in the top of the sixth inning, Gomez flied out to center field. Thinking he just missed the pitch, the Astros star shouted angrily (seemingly at himself), tossed the bat aside and began jogging down the first-base line.

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer has been on the disabled list since July 2 due to a wrist injury, but the young slugger's return to the lineup appears to be on the horizon.

Fact: After going 3-for-4 against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night, Klay Thompson's brother, Trayce, is batting .522 for the season.

After this play, Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder Starling Marte may want to try to bait runners in the future.

In the bottom of the third inning of Tuesday's game, Miami Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria pulled a ball straight down the third-base line. Marte, knowing Hechavarria's speed, conceded the double and took things easy when he got to the ball.

Larry Bowa went over the edge of oblivion Tuesday night, exploding on officials and New York Mets players in a meltdown seemingly in the making since Monday's 16-7 home loss.

The Philadelphia Phillies bench coach was ejected in the seventh inning of Tuesday's game after a tirade sparked by Mets righty Hansel Robles seemingly trying to sneak another quick pitch past a Phillies batter.

The MLB playoffs are right around the corner, and some teams are heating up at the perfect time.

Whose stock should fans be buying? Which teams are on their way out?

Watch as Bleacher Report MLB Analyst Scott Miller and Stephen Nelson discuss the MLB's contenders in the video above. 

The July trade deadline and the August waiver period are not the only ways teams can add to their rosters for the stretch run, as September also brings an influx of new players when the active rosters expand from 25 to 40.

Generally this is a time when teams promote the guys that have bounced between the minors and majors for most of the season, adding a few arms to the bullpen and bats to the bench in the process.

However, there are always at least a handful of top prospects who are given a chance to show what they can do during this time as well.

The finish line is in sight for this Major League Baseball season. 

With less than six weeks to play in the regular season, very little is decided when it comes to the playoff races, sans the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals being locks to win their respective Central divisions. Everything else is still up for grabs. 

Don't worry, MLB contenders! Time may be running short, but there's still time to address your most pressing needs via the waiver trade market.

Up until August 31, MLB teams can still make moves with players who cleared waivers earlier this month. We've already seen Chase Utley, Marlon Byrd and Will Venable included in August deals involving contenders.
