Quite a bit to get to from around the league …
Commissioner Manfred announced today that @BlueJays pitcher Roberto Osuna has accepted a suspension without pay through 8/4/18 for violating the Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. The unpaid suspension is retroactive to 5/8/18 and covers 75 games. pic.twitter.com/NettIJlCjw

Roberto Osuna's suspension runs through Aug. 4. Some rival execs thought he would be the best available reliever before the trade deadline, and there is probably some team willing to deal for him, just as NYY dealt for Chapman before he served his suspension. (HOU, perhaps?)

Well, Tommy Pham has been ejected from the game. In the middle of Marcell Ozuna's at-bat. Yep. HP ump Tim Timmons stopped play, and just tossed Pham from the game.
If Matheny got ejected early in this game, would not have been surprised. Did not expect Pham. #stlcards

Pham on getting tossed in the first inning: "It took me by surprise, especially coming in during the game after I got ejected and watching a player on their team do something 1,000 times worse than what I did." #STLCards pic.twitter.com/gtHLQPs27N

Ichiro discussing the prospect of him being in this year’s HR Derby:
-Ever respectful, said it would “harm” baseball’s great history if he participated
-Chose Mark Buehrle as his BP pitcher if he did partake
-Joked he’d have to up his lunch from 2 to 3 cheeseburgers to bulk up pic.twitter.com/ENSoPcVRmh
