Atlanta, GA

Atlanta activated Minter (hip) from the 15-day injured list Monday. Minter has been on the shelf since late May with left hip inflammation. He made three rehab appearances at Triple-A Gwinnett, allowing two runs (one earned) with a 3:2 K:BB over three frames. Minter should immediately be thrown back into a high-leverage relief role when Atlanta begins its three-game series with the Giants on Tuesday.

The Pirates will recall Palacios from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Since returning from the Triple-A injured list June 11, Palacios has slashed .362/.423/.511 with a homer and six RBI in 52 plate appearances. He'll now join the big-league club as the Pirates look to get more production out of their outfielders, in light of the fact both Jack Suwinski (.542 OPS) and Michael Taylor (.492 OPS) have struggled at the plate all season.

Minnesota Twins star Royce Lewis had to depart Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers after experiencing tightness in his left groin. The injury occurred during the sixth inning, as Lewis clobbered a two-run double. He was visibly running at half-speed, at best, because of the injury's immediate impact on his movement.

The Marlins designated Anderson for assignment Tuesday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. Miami giving Anderson a modest one-year, $5 million contract in hopes that he could have a bounce-back season seemed like a no-brainer. The rebound didn't come, as Anderson slashed a hideous .214/.237/.226 with no home runs and a 68:7 K:BB over 65 games. He will clear waivers and eventually be released, at which point another club could take a chance on him at the prorated veteran minimum salary. It's no given that Anderson will receive that opportunity, however, considering his .544 OPS since the start of the 2023 campaign. Vidal Brujan could get a shot at shortstop for the Marlins with Anderson out of the picture, with Xavier Edwards also potentially in the mix.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now.

The Los Angeles Lakers struggled to find any traction in 2023. While there is no questioning the greatness of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the rest of the roster never stepped up. This offseason, the Lakers are reportedly aggressively trying to add another star, but any championship roster is defined by the pieces around those stars. The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.
