NEW YORK — The Yankees traded away one of their Triple-A starters on Monday afternoon, shipping veteran Carlos Carrasco to the Braves for a player to be named later. Carrasco had been in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for much of this summer, sticking around multiple times after being designated for assignment.

Both the Arizona Diamondbacks and Baltimore Orioles will likely operate with a sense of urgency in advance of the July 31 trade deadline, but not in the way that many expected they would coming into the season.

Junior Caminero hit a two-run homer, Drew Rasmussen recovered from a rocky start on the mound and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees 4-2 in the opener of a four-game series.
