Right-hander Jake Cousins was acquired by the New York Yankees from the Chicago White Sox on Sunday for cash.

The 29-year-old Cousins had a 4.82 ERA in 9⅓ innings over nine relief appearances for Milwaukee last year, allowing five runs, 10 hits and 10 walks with seven strikeouts 

The Athletics claimed infielder Tyler Nevin, a son of former Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin, off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

Nevin, 26, has a .203 batting average with five home runs and 29 RBIs in 105 at-bats over three seasons with the Orioles and Detroit Tigers. He was reacquired by the Orioles in January from Detroit, then designated him for assignment Thursday.

Pitchers Genesis Cabrera of the Toronto Blue Jays and Yohan Ramirez of the New York Mets were suspended for three games each by Major League Baseball on Sunday for their actions in separate games.

And Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was suspended for one game as a result of Ramírez's actions, Major League Baseball senior vice president for on-field operations Michael Hill said.

Joey Bart, once considered the likely successor to Buster Posey as the San Francisco Giants' catcher, was designated for assignment Sunday.

San Francisco made the move to open a roster spot for 28-year-old right-hander Daulton Jefferies, who started against San Diego in his first major league appearance since May 18, 2022, with Oakland.

Two games and two blowout losses led to a team meeting for the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.

It's not how they drew up the start to their 2024 season, but new manager Ron Washington called it a necessary measure after Saturday's 13-4 road defeat to the Baltimore Orioles followed an 11-3 one in the team's opener.

"Just wanted to let them know they've played only two games and we can't get off track," Washington told reporters. "Our focus is on a 162-game championship season. Not two games. The two games haven't gone like we wanted, but we just got to make certain that we come to the ballpark ready to go."

The city of Oakland will present Athletics ownership with an offer to extend the team's lease that includes a five-year contract with an opt-out after three years, as well as a requirement the team pays a $97 million "extension fee," according to document obtained by ESPN and KGO in San Francisco.

The team and the city will meet on Tuesday, the third formal meeting between the two sides since the Athletics received unanimous approval from major-league owners to move the franchise to Las Vegas.

New York Yankees third baseman DJ LeMahieu has a nondisplaced fracture in his right foot, manager Aaron Boone said Saturday.

LeMahieu suffered the injury when he fouled a pitch off the top of his foot March 16. Initial testing didn't reveal any structural damage, but another MRI taken Friday, after the swelling subsided, revealed the fracture.

The Minnesota Twins put oft-injured infielder Royce Lewis on the injured list with what the club called "a severe quad strain" on Saturday, and the reigning AL Central champions are preparing to be without him for more than a month.

The Chicago Cubs placed left-hander Justin Steele on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Saturday after their Opening Day starter was injured fielding a bunt against the Texas Rangers.

The Cubs recalled right-hander Ben Brown, 24, from Triple-A Iowa, with Brown in line to make his major league debut after getting two starts among five appearances in spring training.

Expectations are lower for the Mets entering this season. But owner Steve Cohen still has a specific achievement in mind.

"I think the goal is to make the playoffs. Pretty simple. Let's not overthink this," Cohen said Friday. "If we don't make the playoffs, obviously I'd be disappointed."

Wearing a Mets cap and jacket, Cohen held a news conference at Citi Field a couple of hours before the Mets played their opener against the Milwaukee Brewers, pushed back a day because of rain.
