Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Detroit kept the momentum rolling Sunday at Comerica Park, taking down the White Sox five to four in ten innings. Spencer Torkelson came through with a clutch RBI in the tenth to tie it, and the Tigers finished it off on a walk-off bloop that salvaged Keider Montero's quality start in dramatic fashion.
Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani's All-Star situation is getting complicated. The two-way superstar is almost certain to be voted into the two thousand twenty six Midsummer Classic in Philadelphia as a hitter, but his ability to take the mound remains a real question mark. The Dodgers have been carefully managing his pitching workload, and the All-Star format may simply not accommodate what he needs to stay healthy.
And over in Texas, the Rangers rotation just took a hit. Jack Leiter is heading to the injured list with a left ankle injury, forcing the club to call up a replacement. Leiter had been working to establish himself as a reliable arm for a Rangers team that needs starting pitching depth heading into the second half.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
