  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Ends slump

    Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Toronto.

    Narvaez picked a pivotal time to snap an 0-for-17 skid when he doubled home a pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning. The wear-and-tear of being the primary catcher has caught up to Narvaez in the second half; he's slashing .180/.230/.374 in 68 games since the All-Star break.

  • Twins' Christian Vazquez: On base four times

    Vazquez went 1-for-1 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Rangers. He was also hit by a pitch.

    Vazquez had a productive evening on offense, reaching base four times and even swiping his first bag of the year. Both Vazquez and Ryan Jeffers returned from the injured list on consecutive days to begin the week and the two will likely end up splitting duties once again to close out the season.

  • Gary Sanchez C | BAL

    Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Done for season

    Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Tuesday that Sanchez (knee) will not return this season, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    Sanchez hasn't played since July 5 but did begin a rehab assignment earlier this month. However, with Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo healthy, it doesn't make much sense to rush Sanchez back in a lost season. Sanchez will wrap up the 2025 campaign with a .231/.297/.418 slash line, five home runs, 24 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 4:27 BB:K across 101 plate appearances. Sanchez turns 33 years old in December and will be a free agent this winter.

  • Twins' Jhonny Pereda: Optioned with Jeffers back

    The Twins optioned Pereda to their spring training complex Tuesday.

    With Ryan Jeffers back from his stay on the 7-day IL due to a concussion, Pereda loses his spot on the 26-man roster. Pereda has appeared in 11 games for the Twins this season, slashing .345/.387/.483 with four doubles, one RBI, one run scored and a 2:8 BB:K across 32 plate appearances.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Returns from IL

    The Twins activated Jeffers (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Jeffers had been sidelined since Sept. 4 but is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers and is batting third as the designated hitter. On the season, Jeffers is slashing .262/.353/.394 with nine home runs, 44 RBI, 47 runs scored and a 48:86 BB:K across 442 plate appearances. Jeffers' power numbers have taken a big dip after he clubbed 21 home runs over 465 trips to the plate in 2024.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Sitting out versus Skubal

    Naylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    It's lefty ace Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers, so the lefty-swinging Naylor will take a seat. Austin Hedges will do the catching and bat ninth for the Guardians.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Not yet cleared for games

    Jeffers (concussion) will travel with the Twins on their final road trip this week but has yet to be cleared to play in games, MLB.com reports.

    Jeffers has been sidelined for the past two-plus weeks with a concussion. He has been able to go through most baseball activities, but Jeffers has yet to clear concussion protocol and it's uncertain whether that will happen before the end of the regular season. If Jeffers is unable to make it back this week, Christian Vazquez -- who was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday -- will serve as the Twins' primary catcher.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Reinstated from injured list

    The Orioles activated Rutschman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Rutschman has missed the last month-plus with a right oblique strain but will rejoin the Orioles' active roster for the final week of the regular season. He and Samuel Basallo should share catching duties in the final week, with both players also likely to see action action at designated hitter. Basallo could play some first base, as well.

  • Twins' Christian Vazquez: Activated from injured list

    The Twins activated Vazquez (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Vazquez has been shelved since early August following surgery to remove an infection from his left shoulder, but he's ready to go now after a brief rehab assignment. Ryan Jeffers' (concussion) status remains in flux, which could leave Vazquez with regular catching duties in the final week of the season.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Stays hot in win

    Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Astros.

    Raleigh's blast put the finishing touches on a seven-run second inning for the Mariners, which they rode all the way to the victory. Over the last nine games, Raleigh has surged again, going 12-for-33 (.364) with five homers and eight RBI. He's up to 58 long balls this year while adding 121 RBI, 107 runs scored, 22 doubles, 14 stolen bases and a .247/.360/.589 slash line over 153 contests. He'll look to continue his hot hitting in a three-game home series versus the Rockies that begins Tuesday.
