FROM THE WIRE
Recent league activity remains centered on the fallout from the firing of Alex Cora, which headlines the latest episode of Fair Territory with Ken Rosenthal. Rosenthal also provided a tribute to the career of late Yankees broadcaster John Sterling, noting that the booth will lack a comparable successor. On the field, the Athletics improved to a 7-1 record following a 7-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. The Atlanta Braves secured an 11-6 win over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field despite missing several players to injury and suspension. Other Sunday results included a 5-1 Mets victory over the Angels and a 4-1 Royals win over the Mariners, while the Dodgers defeated the Cardinals 4-1 in a road defensive showcase.
Teams return to the field tomorrow for the conclusion of several early-week series and new interleague starts.
