The Philadelphia Phillies announced Monday that a home game against the Atlanta Braves originally scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 14 was moved to Monday, Sept. 11.

The move came after the NFL released its regular-season schedule last week, revealing that the Philadelphia Eagles’ home opener will be a “Thursday Night Football” game on Sept. 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. That will be the first Eagles home game since they reached Super Bowl LVII in February.

The Phillies’ ballpark and the Eagles’ stadium share a parking lot in the same sports complex.

Both the Phillies and the Braves had Sept. 11 off, so the move was seamless. Their three-game series now will take place Sept. 11-13 instead of Sept. 12-14.

“Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Braves, Major League Baseball and the reigning NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles, we were fortunate to be able to move our game to Monday night on September 11,” Phillies executive vice president David Buck said in a statement. “This was an easy decision for all, as the move to avoid conflicting game times is a win for Philadelphia sports fans.”

The Eagles also thanked the baseball teams.

“We greatly appreciate the willingness of the Phillies, the Braves and Major League Baseball to adjust their schedule,” Eagles president Don Smolenski said in a statement. “In what has shaped up to be a very busy week in Philadelphia sports, this accommodation is a tremendous example of our close relationship with our friends at the Phillies. Our organizations are philosophically aligned on providing our fans the best experience possible on gameday, and this adjustment will help to alleviate any congestion concerns in the Sports Complex that arise when multiple events are held concurrently.”

The Colorado Rockies placed both first baseman C.J. Cron (back spasms) and right-hander Nick Mears (left oblique strain) on the injured list.

In corresponding moves, the Rockies recalled infielder/outfielder Michael Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque and selected the contract of left-hander Fernando Abad from the same affiliate.

Cron, 33, was batting .228 with six home runs and 20 RBIs in 36 games. Over 10 seasons with five clubs, Cron is a career .259 hitter with 181 home runs and 578 RBIs in 1,014 games.

Cron was an All-Star for Colorado last season when he batted .257 with 29 blasts and a career-high 102 RBIs.

Mears, 26, had a 3.00 ERA in four appearances with the Rockies and is 1-0 with a 4.46 ERA in four seasons (40 relief appearances) for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Rockies, posting a 4.46 ERA.

Toglia, 24, made his major league debut last season when he batted .216 with two home runs and 12 RBIs over 31 games for the Rockies. Abad, 37, has not appeared in the major leagues since 2021. In 400 career appearances (six starts) over 10 seasons with seven different clubs, Abad is 8-29 with a 3.77 ERA.

The Milwaukee Brewers placed first baseman Luke Voit on the injured list with a strained neck and signed free agent first baseman Darin Ruf to take his place on the active roster.

In order to get Ruf on the 40-man roster, right-hander Brandon Woodruff was moved to the 60-day injured list as he recovers from a shoulder injury. Milwaukee also optioned right-hander Colin Rea to Triple-A Nashville and recalled right-hander Trevor Megill.

Voit, 32, was batting .221 and did not have a home run in 22 games for the Brewers this season. In seven seasons with five different clubs, Voit is a career .253 hitter with 95 home runs and 276 RBIs in 508 games.

Ruf, 36, batted .261 in nine games during his return to the San Francisco Giants this season after he was traded to the New York Mets in 2022. In nine seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, Giants and Mets he is a career .240 hitter with 67 home runs and 205 RBIs.

Rea, 32, was 0-3 with a 5.52 ERA in seven appearances (six starts) with the Brewers earlier this season. In five career seasons with the San Diego Padres, Miami Marlins, Chicago Cubs and Brewers, Rea is 8-11 with a 5.00 ERA in 43 appearances (33 starts).

Megill, 29, was traded from the Minnesota Twins to the Brewers on April 30. In 67 career relief appearances for the Cubs and Twins over the previous two seasons, he is 5-5 with a 6.03 ERA.

The Los Angeles Angels placed third baseman Anthony Rendon on the injured list with a left groin strain and recalled infielder Livan Soto from Double-A Rocket City on Monday.

The club also reinstated catcher Chad Wallach from the concussion injured list and optioned catcher Chris Okey to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Rendon, 32, first felt discomfort after fielding a ground ball during Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians and did not play Sunday. He had been much improved after a slow start, batting .368 since April 24 to improve his overall batting average to .301 with 20 RBIs, but he still has just one home run.

In 1,103 games over 11 seasons with the Washington Nationals and Angels, Rendon is a career .285 hitter with an .846 OPS, 157 home runs and 655 RBIs.

Soto, 22, made his major league debut last season by going 22-for-55 (.400) over 18 games with the Angels but was batting .170 in 30 minor league games this season.

Wallach, 31, was batting .267 with two home runs and six RBIs in 10 games with the Angels this season and is a career .205 hitter with six home runs and 30 RBIs over seven seasons (100 games) with the Angels, Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds.

Okey, 28, was 0-for-2 in two games with the Angels this season and is 2-for-14 in nine games for the Reds and Angels over the past two seasons.

The Baltimore Orioles recalled right-hander Logan Gillaspie from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned outfielder Kyle Stowers to Norfolk.

Gillaspie, 26, had a 7.20 ERA in eight relief appearances for the Orioles earlier this season and is 1-1 with a 4.03 ERA in 25 relief appearances over the past two seasons for Baltimore.

Stowers, 25, was 2-for-30 over 14 games for the Orioles this season and is a .207 hitter with three home runs and 11 RBIs in 48 games for the club over the past two seasons. Stowers was the team’s second-round draft pick in 2019.

The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated right-hander Pete Fairbanks from the injured list Monday and optioned right-hander Chris Muller to Triple-A Durham.

Fairbanks, 29, was on the injured list for just short of two weeks with right forearm inflammation. He did not allow a run over his first eight relief appearances. The Rays’ bullpen had a 3.10 ERA at the end of April but has a 3.63 mark in 13 May games.

In 127 career appearances, eight of which were with the Texas Rangers in 2019, Fairbanks is 11-12 with a 3.25 ERA. He started two games for the Rays in 2020.

Muller, 27, had his contract selected by the Rays on Friday but did not appear in a game as he awaits his major league debut. He has pitched in the Rays’ minor league system for five seasons, including the last two at Durham.

The Atlanta Braves claimed right-hander Dereck Rodriguez off waivers from the Minnesota Twins on Monday and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Braves transferred right-hander Kyle Wright to the 60-day injured list to make room for Rodriguez on the 40-man roster.

Rodriguez, 30, appeared in just one game for the Twins this season, giving up a run in two-thirds of an inning. He’s 12-16 with a 4.27 ERA in 54 career games (35 starts) for the San Francisco Giants (2018-20) and Twins.

Rodriguez is the son of Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez.

Wright, who won 21 games last season, is suffering from a right shoulder strain. He was 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA in five starts before being placed on the 15-day IL.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Ryan Brasier officially was designated for assignment Monday while left-hander Joely Rodriguez was activated from the injured list.

Brasier, 35, had a 7.29 ERA in 20 relief appearances for the Red Sox this season. He pitched the last six seasons in Boston after seven appearances for the Los Angeles Angels in 2013 and is 7-8 in his career with a 4.45 ERA in 229 appearances (one start).

Expected to become a free agent when he clears waivers, if he isn’t traded first, Brasier’s departure will leave just two Red Sox players from the 2018 World Series championship team: left-hander Chris Sale and third baseman Rafael Devers.

In his last outing with the Red Sox on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals, Brasier gave up three runs on four hits over 2 1/3 innings.

“Honestly, a new start might not be bad,” Brasier told reporters Sunday when news of his pending DFA was first reported. “Obviously getting to play at Fenway every day is a dream come true. Two parks you want to play at growing up are Yankee Stadium and Fenway. And I got to do both a lot. So grateful. It sucks obviously but new start.”

Rodriguez, 31, signed a one-year deal with the Red Sox in the offseason but opened the campaign on the injured list with an oblique strain. He will enter off five rehab outings when he gave up one run.

In five major league seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, New York Yankees and New York Mets, Rodriguez is 5-9 with a 4.56 ERA in 157 relief appearances. He was 2-4 with a 4.47 ERA in 55 appearances for the Mets last season.

The Washington Nationals reinstated outfielder Corey Dickerson from the injured list Monday.

Right-hander Cory Abbott and infielder/outfielder Jake Alu were optioned to Triple-A Rochester. Abbott was Washington’s 27th player on the roster for Sunday’s doubleheader against the New York Mets.

Dickerson, who turns 34 on May 22, was placed on the injured list during the first week of the season after a left calf strain. He was hitless in three at-bats through two games to start his first season with the Nationals.

A former All-Star (2017) and Gold Glove winner (2018), Dickerson is a career .281 hitter with 134 homers and 452 RBIs in 1,035 games with eight teams since his 2013 debut. He went 2-for-10 with a walk during a three-game rehab assignment at Rochester.

Alu, 26, was 1-for-9 with a walk in three games for the Nationals after making his major league debut last Tuesday.

Abbott, 27, pitched two scoreless innings Sunday and has a 2.25 ERA in two relief outings for Washington this season. He is 0-5 with a 5.45 ERA in 25 appearances (10 starts) for the Chicago Cubs and Nationals over the past three seasons.

(This May 14 story was corrected to remove the reference to Logan Gilbert as a left-handed pitcher. He is right-handed.)

Joey Wentz recorded his first win this season in his last outing. The Detroit Tigers left-hander will try to make it two straight when he starts against visiting Seattle on Sunday afternoon.

Wentz gave up two runs in 5 2/3 innings against Cleveland during his seventh start Monday.

“For personal reasons, to get this win was huge for me,” Wentz said afterward. “But if you’ve been watching our team recently, a lot of guys are contributing. Really, everybody is. We’ve been doing a good job of controlling what we can. Personally, though, this feels good.”

Wentz (1-3, 6.09 ERA) had given up at least five earned runs in half of his previous starts this season. He made his major-league debut last May and wound up starting seven games, going 2-2 with a 3.03 ERA. He’ll be making his first appearance against the Mariners.

Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert opposes Wentz as Seattle goes for a three-game sweep.

Gilbert (1-2, 3.79 ERA) has been sharp in his two May starts but only has a no-decision and loss to show for it. He gave two runs and three hits while striking out six in six innings against Oakland on May 3. He limited Texas to the same amount of runs and hits in 6 2/3 innings while notching 10 strikeouts on Monday but the Mariners lost 2-1.

Gilbert was even better than the stat line suggests. He took a perfect game into the seventh inning.

“With that kind of pitching performance, you certainly expect to win the ballgame,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “You can’t ask for anything more than what Logan Gilbert did (Monday). That’s about as good as we’ve seen him at any point all season long. He absolutely dominated.”

Using a fastball, slider and curveball mix, Gilbert nearly matched his career-high of 11 strikeouts. In one stretch, he recorded seven in a row. The lack of run support cost him the victory.

“Credit to them (Rangers). They found a way to put up a couple runs,” Gilbert said.

After a 9-2 win Friday, the Mariners recorded a 5-0 shutout Saturday behind rookie Bryce Miller. He allowed just three hits and didn’t walk a batter in seven innings. Miller had allowed just one run in his first three career starts.

“We didn’t do anything against him,” Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said. “He had good stuff. Everything across the board was in the strike zone. He was efficient, he was dominant. We hadn’t seen him before. I can see why he’s off to a good start for his career.”

Jarred Kelenic and Teoscar Hernandez supplied the power for the Mariners, as they each blasted their eighth homer of the season. It was an encouraging afternoon for Hernandez, who had three hits to raise his season average to .229.

Julio Rodriguez, who homered and drove in four runs in the series opener, didn’t have a hit while batting cleanup. However, last season’s American League Rookie of the Year did draw a ninth-inning walk, steal a base and score a run.
