The Athletics are calling up MLB's No. 3 prospect and right-handed pitcher Luis Danys Morales, per sources. Morales, 22, is expected to be activated tomorrow. A remarkable story since he escaped from a Mexico airport in 2021 to pursue his dream of reaching the Big Leagues.

One of the biggest trade chips at this year's deadline is Minnesota Twins closer Jhoan Duran, who is on the verge of a move to the Philadelphia Phillies, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. BREAKING: Phillies close to acquiring Jhoan Duran from Twins, sources tell @TheAthletic.
