    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Makes more history with 60th homer

    Raleigh went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and four RBI in Wednesday's 9-2 win over Colorado.

    Raleigh has now pushed his homer total up to 60 amid his historic campaign. The All-Star backstop is just the seventh player in history to launch 60 long balls in a single season, and he's inching closer to the American League record of 62 established by Aaron Judge in 2022. The Mariners have four contests left during the regular season for Raleigh to potentially accomplish that feat. He has 11 multi-homer efforts in 2025 to go with 125 RBI, 109 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 155 outings.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: X-rays negative

    X-rays on Basallo's right hand came back negative following his removal from Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Basallo had to come out of the game after taking a 96 mph offering from Pete Fairbanks off his hand in the ninth inning, but he seemingly managed to escape without suffering any fractures. The Orioles could decide to hold him out of Thursday's series finale to give him time to recover, which would likely give Ryan Mountcastle a start as the designated hitter with Coby Mayo at first base.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Getting X-rays on hand

    Basallo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rays after getting hit on the right hand by a pitch, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Interim manager Tony Mansolino said after the game that Basallo will receive an X-ray on his hand, which will help determine the severity of the backstop's injury. Should the 21-year-old need to miss any amount of time, Ryan Mountcastle would stand to benefit from extra reps as Baltimore's designated hitter.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Resting Wednesday

    O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Royals on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    O'Hoppe will take a breather while Sebastian Rivero works behind home plate and bats eighth. O'Hope has gone 4-for-19 (.211) with one double since being reinstated from the 7-day concussion injured list Sept. 15.

  • 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.
