The Boston Red Sox have bolstered their pitching roster by selecting right-handed pitcher Marcus Phillips from Tennessee with the 33rd overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. This marks another strategic addition as the team continues to focus on pitching talent.

In a surprising development, Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday afternoon. The change leaves the team adjusting their pitching lineup ahead of the crucial division matchup.
