The San Diego Padres announced during the team’s 7-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs Wednesday that manager Bob Melvin had undergone prostate surgery. There were no further details released, and the Padres said they likely wouldn’t have any updates until next week.

Melvin had said Tuesday that he didn’t think he had prostate cancer, but doctors wouldn’t know until the surgery. Bench coach Ryan Christenson took over as interim manager.

 

White Sox, Guardians Game Postponed

Wednesday’s scheduled game between the Cleveland Guardians and the Chicago White Sox was postponed due to a Covid-19 outbreak on the Guardians that has sidelined manager Terry Francona and several coaches.

No players are known to have tested positive. It was the first Covid-caused postponement in MLB this season. 

 

Brewers' Yelich Hits For Cycle

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich hit for the cycle Thursday for a record-tying third time, his feat coming in a 14-11 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.
Every time Yelich has hit for the cycle it’s been against the Reds, with the previous two within three weeks in 2018. He is now the sixth player in MLB history to hit for the cycle three times, meaning he had at least one home run, triple, double, and single in one game.
