Good Morning! Here’s what happened in the world of sports on Tuesday. July 29.
MLB
Just one highlight from yesterday’s action, as we reset for the playoff push and take a look at the National League standings. I’ve added a brief sentence on what to expect the next 36 hours as we approach the trade deadline, and tomorrow we’ll tackle the American League. But first, here’s the swing that won the day in game two of a pivotal clash between the top teams of the NL Central:

NOTEWORTHY NEWS
One of the greatest midfielders of his generation, Thomas Muller is set to join the Vancouver Whitecaps of the MLS. Since his debut in 2005, Muller spent his entire career starring for Bayern Munich. He also scored five goals and led Germany to victory in the 2014 World Cup. So if you get a chance this summer, go watch Muller play.
Two all-stars went on the injured list yesterday. Athletics rookie Jacob Wilson saw his standout season come to a halt with a broken arm. And the nightmare season in Atlanta keeps getting worse, as Ronald Acuña Jr. was placed on the IL with an Achilles injury. Hoping for the best for both talented ballplayers.
There weren’t any big-time deals yesterday, but we did get this pretty great moment in Baltimore:
Seranthony Domínguez was traded between games of the Blue Jays-Orioles doubleheader
He walked past his old teammates to get to the Blue Jays bullpen 🤣

The MLB trade deadline is Thursday at 6 PM, which means Hug Watch will continue for a little longer…
Jhoan Duran has not been traded. He was just hugging his bullpen catcher because that's what friends do sometimes.
