The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Sunday night at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies have the best record in baseball at 24-11 entering Monday's action. It is the franchise's best start through 35 games since 1995, when they also went 24-11.

The club's strength this season has been starting pitching. The Phillies' rotation has a 2.65 ERA, the second-best mark in the Major Leagues.

The Cleveland Guardians are expected to call up top prospect Kyle Manzardo, according to a report.

The Guardians acquired Manzardo from the Tampa Bay Rays at least year's trade deadline in exchange for Aaron Civale.

A second-round pick out of Washington State, Manzardo has batted .303/.375/.642 for Triple-A Columbus with nine homers and 10 doubles in 29 games. 

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot left with a lower left leg bruise in the second inning of Sunday's game against the New York Mets after getting hit by a 107.5 mph line drive hit by Starling Marte.

Pepiot immediately fell to the ground but was able to get back up on his own. He left the game after throwing a couple of warmup pitches from the mound.

The Rays said X-rays were negative and Pepiot doesn't expect to miss his next start.

Pepiot is 3-2 with a 3.68 ERA in seven starts. He was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers last December in a trade where the Rays sent ace Tyler Glasnow to L.A.

Cleveland Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan is headed to the injured list with a hamstring strain, according to multiple reports.

Kwan, who entered the weekend leading the American League in batting, underwent an MRI after leaving Saturday's game with tightness.

Before getting hurt while running down a fly ball, the 26-year-old was batting .353 with a league-leading 47 hits and 28 runs. 

The Cubs are inching closer to getting two of their better hitters back from injury, manager Craig Counsell announced Saturday morning.

Outfielders Cody Bellinger (ribs) and Seiya Suzuki (oblique) could be back with the team as soon as next week.

"Belli is a little ahead of Suzuki," Counsell said before the Cubs hosted the Milwaukee Brewers. "We're going through baseball activities, making sure they feel good coming out of that and then progressing."

Suzuki, 29, has been out since mid-April after tweaking his oblique running to first base, while Bellinger, 28, has missed the past two weeks after colliding into a brick wall while tracking down a fly ball.

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole threw off a mound Saturday morning for the first time since being shut down in mid-March, checking off another box in his road back from an elbow injury.

Cole took the mound in the Yankees' bullpen at 10:40 a.m., hours before New York took on the Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium. He said he threw 15 pitches, 13 for strikes and all fastballs. He said the pitches averaged 89 mph.

"It was exciting," Cole said. "This was a good day for me. I was fired up."

Trea Turner will miss at least six weeks with a left hamstring strain after being injured in the fourth inning of Philadelphia's 4-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday.

The Phillies placed the two-time All-Star shortstop on the 10-day injured list Saturday, but Turner said he'll need more time.

Luis Arraez had four hits and an RBI in his first game after being traded from the Miami Marlins, Ha-Seong Kim hit a three-run homer in San Diego's eight-run seventh inning and the Padres routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-1 on Saturday.

The Padres made a massive deal Friday, acquiring Arraez from the Marlins along with nearly $7.9 million in a trade for four players. The two-time batting champion didn't join his new team until about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, but wasted no time in producing, going 4 for 6 while scoring two runs.

"Clearly an amazing approach and I can see why he is the rightful moniker of 'The Sprinkler,'" Padres manager Micke Shildt said.

Aaron Judge has accomplished plenty during his nine-year major league career. The five-time All-Star set the American League record for home runs in a season in 2022. He won the AL MVP award. He was named the 16th captain in New York Yankees history.

And not once in his first 869 career games was the 32-year-old slugger ever ejected.

That streak, though, ended Saturday at Yankee Stadium.

Judge was tossed for the first time leading off the seventh inning after arguing a called third strike in the Yankees' eventual 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. 

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is scheduled to throw off a mound Saturday for the first time since getting injured in spring training.

"Whether that's a full bullpen or what exactly that looks like, we'll see," New York manager Aaron Boone said before Friday night's game against Detroit. "I think it's gone well so far, his build-up and checking the boxes and the level of intensity of throwing and things like that. So far, so good. Getting off the mound will obviously be another step."
