Rays acquire Oswaldo Arcia from Twins to bolster outfield
Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg will return to start Sunday against the Brewers after skipping his last scheduled appearance with an upper back strain.
Fans in Battle Creek, Mich., were encouraged to bring their guns to the ballpark Friday as part of “2nd Amendment Education Night,” a promotional event at a summer league game between the Battle Creek Bombers and the Rochester (Minn.) Honkers.
Pirates right-hander Juan Nicasio was reinstated from the restricted list and moved to the bullpen as Pittsburgh made a number of roster moves before Friday night’s game against the Dodgers.
The Pirates also selected the contract of infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier from Triple-A Indianapolis, optioned catcher Jacob Stallings to Indy and designated right-hander Jorge Rondon and infielder Cole Figueroa for assignment.
