The White Sox pick up slugger Manny Ramirez on waivers from the Dodgers, assuming the remainder of his salary for the year, estimated at $3.85 million. The Sox offered the Dodgers a prospect in order to pay a smaller portion of Manny’s salary, but Los Angeles declined the offer. His last presence as a Dodger is a pinch-hitting appearance with the bases loaded today, during which he is ejected for arguing a first-pitch strike. The 38-year-old Ramirez has missed 59 games this season through various injuries, but has batted a solid .313 with 8 homers and 40 RBI when he has taken the field.

After being shut out four straight times by Giants hurler Fred Fitzsimmons, the Reds score off him in the 1st inning, add two unearned runs in the 3rd to win, 3 – 2. Freddie allows just four hits in losing to Pete Donohue. Before the game, John McGraw issues a vehement denial that he has hurt morale by browbeating his players and issuing fines for errors. He says he has only fined Carl Hubbell $25 for failing to touch second base in a game, and Frank Hogan $50 for failing to show up at the team hotel in Boston one night. “These, plus a fine of $100 assessed against Jack Cummings for being absent without leave for ten days during which I had no idea where he was and could not even notify him of his transfer to the Braves constitutes the total fines I have ordered.” He also states that he hasn’t even been in the clubhouse since July 18th.
