The Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates made an in-state trade on Tuesday.

Free agent outfielder Max Kepler has been suspended 80 games after testing positive for Epitrenbolone, a banned performance-enhancing drug, Major League Baseball announced Friday. Kepler played the entire 2025 season with the Philadelphia Phillies.
