The Rockies also placed outfielder Brenton Doyle on the bereavement list, while outfielder Jordan Beck was recalled. Tovar, 23, last played in Tuesday's road game against the Los Angeles Dodgers and was in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale before he was a late scratch.

So often in recent years, baseballs have been the subject of controversy. How tightly are they wound? What is the height of their seams? What's inside them that might determine how far they fly?

After days of rumors -- and months of negotiating -- the Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a 14-year, $500 million deal with superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on Sunday night. The deal is the third largest in MLB history -- behind Shohei Ohtani's with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Juan Soto's with the New York Mets -- and, like Soto's, contains no deferred money.

PHILADELPHIA -- Shohei Ohtani threw a 26-pitch bullpen session Saturday before the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the Philadelphia Phillies, another step toward his mound return. Recovering from right elbow surgery on Sept. 19, 2023, the two-way star threw his second bullpen session since resuming his pitching ramp up. He paused after his mound session on Feb. 25 to prepare for opening day as a hitter, then threw a bullpen on March 29.
