Morning Mound Visit: Sixto Sánchez to have season-ending surgery

Christina De Nicola | MLB.com: Marlins pitcher Sixto Sánchez needs season-ending surgery to repair a small tear in the posterior capsule of his right shoulder. Sánchez originally hoped to make his 2021 debut in September, but this setback means he won’t be ready until spring training in 2022.

Anthony Franco | MLB Trade Rumors: The Chicago White Sox need an infielder following Nick Madrigal’s injury. According to Bob Nightengale, they “have serious interest” in Trevor Story.

Al Yellon | Bleed Cubbie Blue: The Cubs signed Robinson Chirinos to a major league contract on Monday. Chirinos signed a minor league contract with the Yankees but never made the big league club before his release on Sunday. Chirinos last played at the major league level for the Mets and Rangers in 2020. Combined, he hit just .162/.232/.243, but he only got into 26 games.

Quick Hits

Nick Castellanos interrupted a eulogy as there’s a deep drive to left by Castellanos and that will be a home run. And so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame.

After the Dodgers scored twice in the top of the frame to tie the game, Jorge Alfaro hit a solo homer to put the Marlins up for good.

The Rays were down by a run entering the bottom of the ninth, but they rallied to walk it off on a chopper from Yandy Díaz.
