Looking to spark a struggling club, the New York Yankees acquired Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins on Saturday for three minor leaguers: catcher Agustín Ramírez, infielder Jared Serna and infielder Abrahan Ramírez.

New York entered Saturday 10-23 after a 50-22 start, plagued by sputtering starting pitching and an offense overly reliant on Aaron Judge and Juan Soto following injuries to Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo. Third baseman DJ LeMahieu and left fielder Alex Verdugo have been in deep slumps.

An All-Star second baseman in 2022, the 26-year-old Chisholm has played center field for most of the past two seasons.

He is batting .249 with 13 homers and 50 RBIs this year and is a .246 career hitter with 66 homers and 205 RBI in five seasons. Chisholm has 22 stolen bases, matching last year’s total and one shy of his career high.

“Very talented, athletic, speed, power, you know, seems like versatility, you know, can play a lot of different places,” Yankees Manager Aaron Boone said. “I’ve only seen him from afar, obviously, but obviously a very talented young player.”

Chisholm has a $2,625,000 salary after losing to the Marlins in arbitration. He is eligible for arbitration again after the 2024 and 2025 seasons and can become a free agent after the 2026 World Series.

LeMahieu, a two-time batting champion, didn’t make his season debut until May 28 after breaking his right foot when he fouled off a pitch during a spring training game this past March 16. A three-time All-Star, he is hitting .178 with one homer, 12 RBI in 135 at-bats, and he has just two hits in his last 28 at-bats.

DODGERS: All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman was placed on the family emergency list by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Freeman was scratched from starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Houston Astros and returned to Los Angeles.

“He’s on the family emergency list, and I think you have seven days, potentially nine days,” Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts said. “We’re just trying to let him spend time with his family and pray that things continue to improve. I don’t know his time, and I know for me, personally, it was just kind of waiting to hear from him and when he wants to come back.”

Roberts said after Friday night’s game that Freeman’s 3-year-old son, Maximus, was undergoing tests, and he expected Freeman to miss the series.

METS: Pitcher Kodai Senga is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with a strained left calf.

The team’s projected No. 1 starter this year, Senga got hurt Friday night in the sixth inning of his season debut against Atlanta. He had been sidelined by a shoulder injury since early in spring training.

Senga strained his calf when he bolted away from the mound to make way for teammate Pete Alonso to catch a popup. New York manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday an MRI showed a “high-grade strain.”

The 31-year-old right-hander was sharp in his first outing, striking out nine in 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball to earn the win in an 8-4 victory over the Braves. He allowed just two hits and retired his final 10 batters.

Senga went 12-7 with a 2.98 ERA in 29 starts last season, his first in the majors after leaving Japan and signing a $75 million, five-year contract with the Mets. He was runner-up for NL Rookie of the Year and finished seventh in Cy Young Award voting.

PHILLIES: Philadelphia placed All-Star left-hander Ranger Suárez on the 15-day injured list because of lower back soreness.

The Phillies, who entered Saturday with the best record in baseball at 64-39, recalled left-hander Koby Allard from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Allard will start Sunday in the finale of a three-game series against Cleveland.

Suárez started 9-1 this season to earn his first All-Star berth. He’s since returned to form and has a 10-5 record with a 2.87 ERA in 20 starts.

PHILLIES-ANGELS TRADE: Philadelphia acquired closer Carlos Estévez from Los Angeles for a pair of minor league pitching prospects as it strengthened its bullpen for a run at its first World Series championship since 2008.

Estévez has 20 saves this season, a year after he had 31 and was an All-Star for the Angels.

BLUE JAYS-CUBS TRADE: Toronto traded right-hander Nate Pearson to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday in exchange for two minor leaguers.

The Blue Jays received shortstop Josh Rivera and outfielder Yohendrick Pinango for the 27-year-old Pearson, Toronto’s first-round pick in 2017.

Pearson has a career record of 7-4 and a 5.21 ERA in 93 appearances, including five starts, over four seasons. He has 130 strikeouts and 60 walks in 115 2/3 innings.

BREWERS-ROCKIES TRADE: NL Central-leading Milwaukee added some depth to its injury-riddled bullpen by acquiring right-hander Nick Mears from Colorado.

Colorado received minor league right-handers Bradley Blalock and Yujanyer Herrera in the trade.

SATURDAY’S GAME

BLUE JAYS 7, RANGERS 3: Kevin Gausman pitched a four-hitter for his third complete game in 280 major league starts, Daulton Varsho had four RBI, including a three-run homer and Toronto won at home.

BRAVES 4, METS 0: Spencer Schwellenbach struck out a career-best 11 over seven dominant innings of two-hit ball, and Atlanta stopped a six-game losing streak with a win over the Mets in New York.

Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers in the fourth after Mets starter Tylor Megill, just brought back from the minors, retired his first 11 batters.

PADRES 9, ORIOLES 4: Michael King pitched brilliantly into the seventh inning, Manny Machado hit a three-run homer in his old ballpark and San Diego extended its winning streak to seven games with a rout of the Orioles in Baltimore.

Three of San Diego’s four runs off Baltimore starter Dean Kremer (4-7) were unearned as the Orioles lost for the 18th time in their last 30 games. They’re still in first place in the AL East only because the New York Yankees have slumped badly as well.

King (9-6) allowed two hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings, striking out nine. He exited with two men on base, and they both eventually scored on a double by Cedric Mullins. But that came after the Padres had already built an 8-0 lead.

RAYS 4, REDS 0: Alex Jackson and Yandy Díaz hit consecutive home runs in a three-run fifth inning to back Zack Littell, and Tampa Bay beat Cincinnati in St. Petersburg, Florida, to stop the Reds’ three-game winning streak.
