The 29-year-old López is in the middle of a breakout season, with a sparkling 1.68 ERA and 19 of his 20 career saves.

Baltimore received minor league pitchers Cade Povich, Yennier Cano, Juan Nuñez and Juan Rojas in the deal with Minnesota.

The Minnesota Twins stocked up their sputtering pitching staff before Tuesday's trade deadline.

Here are some changes that I expect to happen in the second half, and their potential impact on fantasy leagues. With the Angels lineup lacking depth, Ward will need to earn his counting stats in the second half. Corbin Burnes will lead the Majors in ERA, WHIP and strikeoutsI have gone on record repeatedly this season, predicting that Burnes will be the No. I like Rogers as a buy-low option on the fantasy trade market right now. My prediction is that Acuña races his way to the steals title and ranks among the top-five overall players during the second half.

Members of the Joint Committee on Medical Marijuana met Thursday to begin developing the practice standards that Florida-licensed physicians must follow when ordering smokable pot. Tellechea suggested that the boards rely on rules for ordering controlled substances as a template for the medical marijuana rules, and modify them as appropriate. The Legislature in 2017 passed a law to implement the amendment but banned smoking medical marijuana. Shortly after getting elected in November 2018, DeSantis did a turnabout from his predecessor and came out in support of smoking medical marijuana.
