With the July 31 MLB trade deadline just a month-and-a-half away, some Cincinnati Reds players are starting to find themselves involved in trade rumors.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria has returned to the lineup after leaving a June 15 contest against the Washington Nationals.

Mark Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times confirmed Longoria's return, as the Rays star is playing third base and batting third. 

San Diego Padres outfielder and occasional first baseman Wil Myers is returning to the disabled list with a nagging left wrist injury just days after returning to the lineup.

Myers Placed on DL with Left Wrist Tendinitis

Monday, June 15

Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune passed along the latest discouraging news about Myers:

When examining the Los Angeles Dodgers on the surface, it's difficult to find anything significantly wrong with the team.

Not only do they rank among the top of the league in runs scored and ERA while having committed the sixth-fewest errors, the Dodgers have also maintained control of the National League West for most of the season.

The lightening rod has struck again. And with that, his critics will surely strike back.

Alex Rodriguez woke up Saturday with 1,999 RBIs to his professional name. How he was aided in getting them—his immense offensive talent, his teammates being on base and, of course, the drugs—is irrelevant to the record books.

The Houston Astros lost to the Seattle Mariners by an 8-1 score on Saturday, and Astros shortstop Carlos Correa went 0-for-3.

But the rookie won the day. Correa met with a young fan with cancer prior to the opening pitch, and the 20-year-old gave the kid a bat and a pair of batting gloves.

Take this as your daily reminder that life transcends sports.

The Cleveland Indians have called up top prospect Francisco Lindor, according to the team's official Twitter account:

According to Baseball America, he was the top prospect in the Indians system in 2014 and the No. 9 overall prospect in the country. 

Alex Rodriguez has crossed various statistical plateaus during the 2015 MLB season and added another achievement to the list Saturday night against the Baltimore Orioles.

Carlos Correa, whose nickname is "The Captain," is one of the best prospects in all of baseball. The Puerto Rican shortstop was drafted No. 1 overall by the Houston Astros in 2012.

Jason Heyward doesn’t need his sense of sight to play right field for the St. Louis Cardinals—he only needs touch.

With the sun in his eyes and the baseball gods on his side, Heyward made a no-look grab in the top of the eighth inning as his team held a 3-2 advantage on Saturday.
