MLB Notes: Mets Out of Postseason Picture, Tigers Cut Ties With Trade Addition, Brewers Lose Starter

"The New York Mets are currently out of the postseason picture after holding a playoff spot everyday since April 5. After FanGraphs gave the Mets a 96.2 percent chance to make the playoffs on June 12, that number currently sits at 50.7 percent. In other news, the Detroit Tigers (who, along with the Mets, have also been slumping recently) cut ties with trade deadline addition Charlie Morton. The veteran was designated for assignment on Sunday, possibly putting his 18-year career to an end."

"Finally, the Milwaukee Brewers placed RHP Brandon Woodruff on the injured list with a right lat strain. The 32-year-old has a 3.20 ERA this season, and assuming it is a minimum stay on the IL, will be eligible to return in time for the start of the NLDS.
