Tue Sep 8 202020:51LEADING OFF: Darvish vs. Bauer; Yanks look to Garcia
A look at what's happening around the majors Wednesday:___PAIR OF ACESYu Darvish and Trevor Bauer pitch at Wrigley Field in a matchup of ace right-handers headed in different directions. Darvish, one of the front-runners for the NL Cy Young Award, is going for his eighth straight victory for the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs. He has a sparkling 0.98 ERA during his winning streak. Bauer starts for the Cincinnati Reds. He was terrific at the beginning of the season, but he is 0-3 with a 4.08 ERA in his last three starts. BRONX BLUESThe Yankees turn to rookie right-hander Deivi Garcia (0-1, 3.38) in the finale of a critical series against the Blue Jays. The 21-year-old Garcia is set for his third big league start — he overwhelmed the Mets in his debut, but struggled against Baltimore in his second game. New York general manager Brian Cashman tried to fire up the slumping Yankees in a meeting prior to Tuesday's game.“We haven’t played well now for quite some time,” Cashman said. “We all know we’re capable of more, significantly more, both individually and collectively.”Right-hander Tanner Roark (2-1, 5.74) is set to pitch for second-place Toronto.DISARMEDThe Atlanta Braves are scrambling for rotation help after losing yet another starter Tuesday. Right-hander Max Fried was an NL Cy Young Award contender before landing on the 10-day injured list with a left-side muscle spasm in his lumbar spine. Atlanta's entire projected opening day rotation is now out, a list that includes Mike Soroka (torn right Achilles tendon), Cole Hamels (shoulder and triceps), Mike Foltynewicz (designated for assignment) and Félix Hernández (opted out).Right-hander Tommy Milone (0-0, 11.37) will get the ball against Miami as Atlanta tries to maintain its place atop the NL East.MINOR MATTERSWhatever happens with minor league baseball after this season, it will certainly be under new leadership. MiLB President and CEO Pat O'Conner abruptly announced Tuesday that he will retire at the end of the year amid talks between the minors and MLB to dramatically restructure baseball’s developmental pipeline. The agreement governing the relationship between MLB and the minors expires Sept. 30. With so many franchises struggling financially after the 2020 minor league season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, contraction now seems likely.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
