2026 MLB midseason games and trades

Overview

Rain delays and high-stakes rallies continued to define the August MLB schedule. In a 10-inning thriller at Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees overcame an initial postponement and a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Braves 3-2. Following solo home runs by Austin Riley and Matt Olson, the Yankees rallied in the ninth through an Austin Wells RBI double and a Ben Rice game-tying single, before Ryan McMahon secured the win with a walk-off sacrifice fly in the tenth.

In other Yankees action, Gerrit Cole outdueled Chris Sale in a 5-4 victory, marking his 1,000th career strikeout as a Yankee. Regarding roster updates, manager Aaron Boone reported that Giancarlo Stanton has begun jogging and running bases as he continues his recovery from calf injuries.

In the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers' recent struggles saw them suffer a seventh consecutive loss after a 4-3 walk-off defeat by the Arizona Diamondbacks, sealed by a Ryan Waldschmidt home run. However, the Dodgers subsequently ended that losing streak with a 2-1 extra-inning victory over the Diamondbacks, driven by a Shohei Ohtani RBI single.

Other notable results included the Houston Astros defeating the San Diego Padres 6-3 behind two home runs from Cam Smith, and the New York Mets extending their winning streak to four games with a 6-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
