Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday made a roster move, placing right-hander Julio Teheran on the 15-day disabled list due to a right hip impingement. This decision followed Teheran's challenging performance on Saturday night, where he allowed nine runs on 11 hits during the team's 11-5 loss against his former team, the Atlanta Braves. With a record of 2-5 and a 4.74 ERA in 11 games, Teheran has faced some recent struggles, having lost his last three decisions. In response to Teheran's placement on the disabled list, the Brewers called up right-hander Peter Strzelecki from Triple-A Nashville. Prior to his stint in Nashville, Strzelecki had appeared in 36 games, all in relief, for Milwaukee, with a 3-5 record and a 4.54 ERA. However, during his time in Nashville, he experienced a higher ERA of 7.04 across seven games. This roster move aims to address the team's pitching needs and provide an opportunity for Strzelecki to contribute to the Brewers' efforts on the mound.

Texas Rangers have made a significant move to bolster their pitching rotation, agreeing to acquire three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer from the New York Mets. The deal, still awaiting official announcement, comes amidst the Rangers' recent struggles, with a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres being their sixth defeat in eight games, narrowing their AL West lead to just one game over the Houston Astros. The blockbuster trade sees the Rangers add the 39-year-old Scherzer, a highly accomplished pitcher with a stellar track record. This acquisition comes as a timely boost for the team, with their ace Nathan Eovaldi experiencing setbacks, causing his next start to be pushed back once again. Manager Bruce Bochy has expressed the need for the rotation to improve, making Scherzer's arrival all the more crucial. Meanwhile, Scherzer's addition to the Rangers' roster means joining forces with another former Mets pitcher, the two-time Cy Young Award winner, Jacob deGrom. Unfortunately, deGrom is currently sidelined due to Tommy John elbow surgery, potentially keeping him out of action until the end of next season.
