The Opener: Judge, Torres, Harrison - MLB Trade Rumors

In case you missed it, Angels outfielder Jo Adell pulled a Jose Canseco on Tuesday against the Rockies (video via MLB). 1. Judge seeing specialist for rib injury Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is heading for additional tests with a team specialist on the bone bruise in his ribcage, manager Aaron Boone told reporters (h/t Bryan Hoch of MLB.com). Boone described the injury as shoulder soreness that Judge had been playing through for weeks, which then became more painful over the weekend. Hoch added in a separate post that while the official diagnosis is a ribcage injury, Judge feels the pain in his shoulder. The reigning MVP hit just .243 last month. His .805 OPS in May was his worst mark for a full month since July 2021. Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres missed nearly a month with an oblique strain. He came back on Tuesday against the Rays and immediately made an impact. Torres golfed a 3-1 sinker from Steven Matz over the left-center wall for a leadoff home run. It’s the second straight day with a recently returning player hitting a homer for Detroit. The club got outfielder Kerry Carpenter back on Sunday. He picked up a hit in that contest, then went 3-for-5 with a solo shot on Monday. The Tigers have shaken off a four-game losing streak to take the first two from the AL East-leading Rays. Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison fired 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball last night against the Giants. He piled up a career-high 12 strikeouts. Harrison is two outs short of qualifying for the ERA title, but he’d be second in the league behind only Cristopher Sanchez if he had enough innings. The lefty is forming a terrifying duo with right-hander Jacob Misiorowski. Harrison and The Miz are the first teammates since 1913 with a minimum of 10 starts apiece to have sub-2.00 ERAs and at least 11 strikeouts per nine innings this deep into the season (h/t OptaSTATS on X).
