The Blue Jays designate 3B Edwin Encarnacion for assignment, hoping to send him to AAA Las Vegas, although they risk losing the talented player on waivers. Encarnacion has shown bursts of great power, hitting 5 home runs in 3 games at one point this year, but has struggled overall, batting .200 in 37 games and showing inconsistency in the field. The move makes room on the roster for P Scott Richmond, coming off the 60-day disabled list.

At a press conference, Tampa Bay Rays owner Stuart Sternberg says the team cannot succeed if it continues to play in Tropicana Field or anywhere in downtown St. Petersburg, FL. The team’s poor attendance in spite of an excellent record and a bevy of exciting young players has not gone unnoticed. While the team’s lease on its current ballpark expires in 2027, the owner is looking at sites for a new park in Tampa, FL, even though it is likely that the city of St. Petersburg will take legal action if a move is made while the lease is still valid.
