The Boston Red Sox have added to their bullpen in the form of St. Louis Cardinals reliever Steven Matz in a late-night trade, per reports.

Less than 24 hours before MLB's trade deadline, the Red Sox have reportedly traded for Cardinals southpaw Steven Matz.

SAN DIEGO — The Mets aren’t done upgrading the bullpen just yet.

The Mets are acquiring hard-throwing closer Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, a day before the July 31 Major League Baseball deadline, the team announced Wednesday. The Cardinals get back three minor leaguers: shortstop Jesus Baez and right-handed pitchers Nate Dohm and Frank Elissalt.

Jesus Sanchez hit a two-run homer for the Marlins, who won for the sixth time in their last eight games to edge closer in the National League wild card race.
