Cardinals first baseman Alec Burleson, who drew trade interest, stayed with St. Louis and hit three two-run homers in a win over the Yankees, expressing relief at the team’s commitment to him. The trade deadline saw over 40 deals, including Adley Rutschman moving to the Red Sox. The Phillies plan to shift Bryce Harper to the outfield as part of a defensive realignment with the acquisition of Luis Arraez. Meanwhile, the Yankees are calling up top prospect George Lombard Jr. to replace Anthony Volpe, who has struggled this season.
