8/9 4:46 AM Charlie Morton (P-DET) Veteran starters take center stage as Tigers, Angels meet.

Morton delivered six quality innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, but the Tigers fell 2-0. Morton, the second-oldest player in the majors at age 41 (Justin Verlander of the San Francisco Giants is 42), will make his second start for his new team against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.

8/9 4:31 AM Mike Yastrzemski (OF-KC) Rookies look to make presence felt in Nationals-Giants clash. In a series featuring multiple rookies in each starting lineup, the host San Francisco Giants will pull for Drew Gilbert to get his first major league hit when they go for a second consecutive win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday afternoon. Gilbert went 0-for-4 in his big league debut Friday night as a large contingent of family and friends cheered for him from behind the third base dugout at Oracle Park. The 24-year-old Gilbert, summoned from Triple-A before Friday's contest, became the fourth different right fielder employed by the Giants in seven games since they dealt Mike Yastrzemski to the Kansas City Royals at the trade deadline last week.

8/9 4:00 AM Cody Bellinger (OF/1B/DH-NYY) Yankees Predicted to Lose Star Outfielder to Giants. The New York Yankees have found a star in outfielder Cody Bellinger, and to this point, the centerfielder has made the team's trade worth it. Bellinger is set to hit the open market after the 2025 season, potentially ending his time with the Yankees. New York has quickly welcomed him into their star-studded lineup, and he's soared, becoming one of their best players this season. Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller believes Bellinger is on his way out, predicting he's headed to the National League with the San Francisco Giants.

The Chicago Cubs fell to the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-0, in a series-opening contest Friday night at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
