In the last five weeks, the Angels have made several moves to improve their roster and, they hope, show Shohei Ohtani that they are serious about winning.

In a week when their division rivals made big moves prior to the trade deadline, the Houston Astros added some key players from within when Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve returned from the injured list. Alvarez has a hit in all four games since his return, including a home run Saturday, and Altuve had six hits in a three-game series against Tampa Bay. The Astros are still applying pressure to AL West-leading Texas.

In the midst of the playoff race, the Guardians traded their hottest pitcher for a minor league prospect currently sidelined with an injury. An uneven season in Cleveland just got a little bumpier. Despite being just one-half game out of first place in the AL Central, the Guardians dealt starter Aaron Civale to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday for first base prospect Kyle Manzardo, who has been out with a shoulder strain.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have solidified the back of their bullpen ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, acquiring closer Paul Sewald from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for infielder Josh Rojas, outfielder Dominic Canzone and minor leaguer Ryan Bliss. The D-backs opted to be buyers at the trade deadline despite a 7-16 record in July that's caused their overall record to slide to 56-50. Sewald has been a mainstay at the back of Seattle’s bullpen for the past three seasons.

The Royals won the first two games of a series for the first time since April.

Tim Anderson homered for the first time in more than a year on a three-hit night, Mike Clevinger tossed five shutout innings in his return from the injured list and the Chicago White Sox topped the Cleveland Guardians 7-2 on Saturday night.
