¦ Mets: RHP Noah Syndergaard has been prescribed more rest after getting a second opinion on a strained ligament in his index finger. Manager Mickey Callaway said Syndergaard’s right finger is “tender to the touch.”

Syndergaard, on the disabled list retroactive to May 26, was examined Tuesday in New York.

There’s no immediate timetable for his return.

¦ Red Sox: LHP Chris Sale took a two-hitter into the seventh inning before being ejected, and the Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the skidding Orioles with a 5-1 victory in Baltimore.

After issuing two walks to open the seventh in a 5-0 game, Sale (6-4) was lifted by manager Alex Cora. As he was making his way to the dugout, the left-hander yelled at home plate umpire Brian Knight and was promptly ejected. Sale struck out nine, allowed one run and gave up two hits in ending a run of three straight losing starts. Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez homered for the Red Sox, who are 9-1 against the Orioles this season.

¦ Yankees: Managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said his Yankees might need a starting pitching upgrade if they’re going to reach their first World Series since 2009. Steinbrenner said the club will explore the trade market for an arm, especially considering the recent loss of lefthander Jordan Montgomery, who had season-ending Tommy John surgery on June 7.

¦ Mariners: Mitch Haniger hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the host Mariners an 8-6 victory and sweep of the three-game series over the Angels.

¦ Rays: Matt Duffy’s RBI single with two outs in the ninth drove in the game’s only run in the host Rays’ 1-0 win over the Blue Jays.

It was the 12th time the Blue Jays have scored one run or fewer this season.

¦ Pirates: Jordy Mercer homered and had three RBIs, Jameson Taillon pitched seven effective innings and the Pirates avoided a sweep with a 5-4 win over the host Diamondbacks.
