Kremer baffles Marlins
Top Story
- RHP Dean Kremer (Orioles) pitched lights out in a 5-2 win over the Marlins on July 11, tossing 7 shutout innings on just 3 hits, one walk, and 7 strikeouts to bump his record to 8-7 (7/15/2025)
MLB News
- 3B Alex Bregman (Red Sox) returned to the lineup July 11 after missing 42 games on the injured list, going 1-for-4 with a 7th-inning double off the Green Monster en route to a 5-4, walk-off win over the Rays. “It was good to get back,” he said afterward. “My body feels good.” Though chosen by fellow MLB players to serve as a reserve at the All-Star Game on July 14, Bregman has chosen to skip it and focus on his recovery (7/15/2025)
- LHP Max Fried (Yankees), who finished June with a 10-2 record and 1.92 ERA, is 1-1 with a 6.43 ERA through his first three appearances of July. The biggest disappointment came in a 5-3 loss to the Cubs on July 12, when Fried gave up 3 earned runs on 6 hits and 3 walks over just 3 innings before leaving the game with a blister on his left index finger. During his years with the Braves, Fried — who already had decided not to play in the All-Star game on July 14 — landed on the injured list four times with the same problem (7/15/2025)
- 2B Zack Gelof (Athletics), who spent most of 2025 on the injured list before making his season debut at home on July 4, was reassigned to Triple-A on July 13 after hitting just .080 (2-for-25) with 13 strikeouts in his first 8 games. “I think with the adjustments that need to be made offensively, it’s difficult to make those adjustments here,” manager Mark Kotsay said. “The move to send him to Triple-A is to get him going and build his confidence back up” (7/15/2025)LF Harrison Bader (Twins) hit a 2-run HR, stole a base, and ended the day 2-for-4 in an 8-1 win over the first-place Cubs on July 8. The 446-foot shot, which fell just 8 feet short of matching his career best, marked his fourth home run in 4 games (7/15/2025)
- In 3 consecutive appearances from July 8 to July 12, RHP Scott Effross (Yankees) tossed a scoreless inning of relief (7/15/2025)
Minor-League Bulletin
- For the second time in less than a month, RF/DH Hunter Bishop (Giants/AAA) hit 2 triples in the same game, this time en route to a 13-6 win over the Angels’ affiliate on July 9. Bishop, who added a double and ended the day 3-for-5 with 3 RBIs, has 6 triples this season, one behind the Pacific Coast League’s leaders (7/15/2025)
- Right-handers Eric Reyzelman and Harrison Cohen, teammates on the Yankees’ Triple-A team, combined for 2.2 scoreless innings in a 5-2 win over the Blue Jays’ affiliate on July 8, giving up a total of one hit and no walks while striking out 3 batters. Both men earned holds. Two days later, Cohen needed just 3 pitches to earn a save in an 11-7 win over the Blue Jays’ affiliate. In his first nine Triple-A appearances after being promoted June 12, Cohen went 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA, 3 saves, and 2 hits over a combined 8.1 innings. He finally yielded his first Triple-A earned run on July 13 (7/15/2025)
- 1B/DH Rowdy Tellez (Rangers/AAA), who signed a minor-league contract with Texas on July 5, went 1-for-3 with a game-tying HR, walk and 2 RBIs in his July 8 debut, a 6-5 loss to the Rockies’ affiliate. He hit his second HR on July 11, a 2-run shot to open the scoring, and ended the day 2-for-4 in a 9-8, 11-inning victory over the same team (7/15/2025)
- 1B Matt Mervis (Marlins/AAA), who exited the injured list on July 8, has homered twice since then. His 15 HRs this season — 7 with Miami, and 8 at Triple-A — lead all Jewish hitters (7/15/2025)
- Players often go through an adjustment after being promoted to the next level, but RHP Charlie Beilenson (Mariners/AA) appears to be an exception so far. In 20 appearances with Seattle’s High-A team earlier this season, the 25-year-old went 2-1 with a 3.97 ERA, 3 saves, 4 blown saves, a 1.06 WHIP, and a .224 opponent batting average. Through July 11, however, Beilenson was 1-0 in his first six Double-A appearances, with a 1.29 ERA, 3 saves in 3 chances, a 0.43 WHIP, and an .087 opponent batting average (7/15/2025)
- LF Michael Snyder (Marlins/AA), batting leadoff, went 1-for-5 with a double, walk, and 3 RBIs in a 16-9 triumph over the Braves’ affiliate on July 9. Snyder’s total of 47 RBIs across High-A and Double-A were the most among all minor-league and MLB Jews as of July 10 (7/15/2025)
- LF Noah Mendlinger (Cardinals/AA) reached base 4 times in an 8-1 triumph over the Astros’ affiliate on July 11, going 2-for-3 with a triple, single, 2 walks, and one RBI. Through July 13, Mendlinger’s .411 OBP ranked #2 in the Texas League (7/15/2025)
- RHP Josh Blum (Mets/High-A) threw 3 near-perfect innings of relief in a 2-1 loss to the Nationals’ affiliate on July 11, giving up only one hit and no walks while striking out 3 batters (7/15/2025)
- LF Zach Levenson (Cardinals/High-A) impressed in a 6-5 loss to the Twins’ affiliate on July 11, singling in the 1st inning, hitting a 2-run double in the 3rd inning, and walking with the bases loaded in the 4th inning to end the day 2-for-2 with a walk and 3 RBIs. In a 10-8, 10-inning loss to the same team two days later, Levenson reached base a remarkable 6 times, going 2-for-2 with a career-high 4 walks (7/15/2025)
- 1B Lyle Miller-Green (White Sox/Single-A) is having a productive month so far. Through July 13, the first-year pro ranked #6 in the Carolina League with a .361 batting average (13-for-36) and #2 with a .521 OBP. Meanwhile, Miller-Green ranked #1 on his team with 4 triples, #3 with 34 RBIs, #3 (tied) with 5 HRs, and #4 with an OPS of .792 (7/15/2025)
