ATLANTA (AP) — Pat Corrales, who managed the Texas Rangers, Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Phillies before a long stint on the Atlanta Braves coaching staff under Hall of Fame skipper Bobby Cox, has died at the age of 82.The Los Angeles Dodgers said Corrales died of natural causes Sunday night at his home in the north Georgia mountains. He had served as a special assistant to the team’s general manager since 2012.A native of Los Angeles, Corrales was a backup catcher with four teams over a nondescript career in the majors, compiling a .216 average with four homers and 54 RBIs over nine seasons.He was far more notable for his post-playing life, which included being MLB’s first manager of Mexican-American descent when he took over the Rangers for the final game of 1978 season.Corrales was fired by the Phillies in 1983, even though the team was tied for first place in the NL East.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers placed right-hander Adrian Houser on the 15-day injured list on Monday with right elbow stiffness.Houser started Sunday’s 10-6 victory over San Diego, but he was lifted after two innings. He was charged with four runs and four hits.“I know he came in feeling pretty good today. He was optimistic about how he felt,” manager Craig Counsell said before the opener of a three-game series at the Chicago Cubs. “Before I kind of express real optimism, I’d like to kind of see how the next couple days go. But we’re hoping this could be a short stint and that he’ll be back pitching and maybe just miss a couple starts.”The 30-year-old Houser is 5-4 with a 4.58 ERA in 19 appearances for the NL Central leaders, including 17 starts. Counsell said there are no plans to send Houser for an MRI right now.The Brewers recalled right-hander J.B. Bukauskas from Triple-A Nashville.

Max Scherzer returns to Citi Field with Mets in last place

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:12:16 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Max Scherzer returned to Citi Field on Monday as a member of the Texas Rangers — still mystified as to how the New York Mets’ season, which began with championship hopes for a team with the largest payroll in major league history, unspooled to the point that he was part of a trade-deadline selloff.“That’s a billion-dollar question, because if you could answer that question, I think everybody would want to tell you how you actually win here at the major league level,” Scherzer said in the Rangers’ dugout before the opener of a three-game series against the Mets.The three-time Cy Young Award winner, who made his fifth start for Texas on Saturday, will not pitch this week against the Mets, who entered Monday last in the NL East and nine games out of a playoff spot. New York hasn’t finished in last place since 2003 and hasn’t been in last place this late in a season since 2005.“I don’t know,” Scherzer said. “It was just a combination of everything. It just seemed like wh...

Twins option starting pitcher Bailey Ober down to Triple-A with his workload in mind

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:12:16 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins optioned starting pitcher Bailey Ober to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, with the club continuing to be careful with the right-hander’s workload.The 28-year-old Ober is 6-6 with a 3.67 ERA in 22 starts for the Twins this season, including a four-inning outing on Sunday during which he allowed five runs. Ober’s 122 2/3 innings are a career high for him at any professional level. The Twins had the luxury of making the move because of the recent addition of Dallas Keuchel to the rotation. The 35-year-old right-hander has a 3.50 ERA in four appearances, including five innings in relief of Ober on Sunday. The AL Central-leading Twins called up left-hander Kody Funderburk from St. Paul for more bullpen depth before their three-game series began against second-place Cleveland. The Twins went 13 innings to beat Texas on Sunday.The 26-year-old Funderburk was a 15th-round draft pick by the Twins in 2018 who has yet to appear in the major leagues...
