    Tony Gwynn in 1983
    • July 19 – Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres makes his Major League debut. His double and single will be the first two hits of the over 3,000 he will accumulate in his Hall of Fame career.
    • July 20 – The sudden, shocking decline of the Cincinnati Reds—who today are 34–58 (.370) and last in the NL West—costs fourth-year manager John McNamara his job. Coach Russ Nixon takes the helm. Cincinnati had compiled the best overall record (66–42, .611) in MLB during 1981's strike-disrupted season.
    • July 28 – The Texas Rangers fire manager Don Zimmer and appoint coach Darrell Johnson acting pilot. The Rangers are 38–58, in sixth place and 16½ games out of first. Zimmer departs with a 95–106 (.473) record in 1+ seasons. Ironically, in July 1976, the scenario was reversed when the Boston Red Sox fired Johnson as skipper and named Zimmer, then a coach, to succeed him.
    • July 29 – The Atlanta Braves were in first place in the National League West, 9 games ahead of the San Diego Padres when owner Ted Turner decides to remove the elevated tipi of mascot Chief Noc-A-Homa from the stands to allow more seats to be sold for the Braves' run at the division title. The Braves, however, lose 19 of their next 21 games, falling into third place before the tipi is restored.
