Other Things You May Have Missed…

The Yankees got a minor league pitcher, Jason Hirsh, from the Rockies for future considerations.  The Yankees are thin at the AAA level owing to injuries and Hirsh has been a major leaguer before.

The Mets might get Carlos Beltran for the stretch run, but it might be too late anyway.

The Royals lost to Baltimore, which isn’t news, but did it without recording a single assist.  Flyouts, strikeouts, and two rollers to first which both went unassisted.  This sort of thing is pretty rare – it hasn’t happened in about six years.
