Festa was diagnosed with neurological thoracic outlet syndrome during a visit with Dr. Keith Meister in Texas this week, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Festa will receive a second opinion before a determination is made about a treatment plan, but surgery would certainly seem to be a possibility. If the pitcher does need an operation, he would be in for a lengthy rehab process that could affect his 2026 availability. Festa posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 53:19 K:BB over 53.1 innings for the Twins this season.

Urena will start Wednesday's game against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The Angels have decided to give Urena a spot start so that their regular rotation members can have some extra rest. Urena struck out six over five scoreless frames in an extended relief outing last Friday versus the Athletics in his first appearance for the Halos. Unless the Angels decide to switch to a six-man rotation down the stretch, Urena will likely shift to long relief after Wednesday's outing.

Soriano will make his next start Thursday in Seattle, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Soriano had been lined up to start Wednesday's series finale versus the Twins, but he will receive an extra day of rest after he had his worst start of the season his last time out, allowing eight runs over 2.1 innings in a loss to the Athletics this past Friday. Jose Urena worked five shutout innings of long relief behind Soriano on Friday and will now be called upon to make a spot start Wednesday.

The White Sox recalled Burke from Triple-A Charlotte and will have him start Wednesday's game against the Rays.

He should have a good shot to remain in the Chicago rotation for the rest of the season, as the White Sox have a permanent spot available after Jonathan Cannon was optioned to Charlotte last weekend. Burke was demoted to Charlotte last month after posting a 4.28 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 110:54 K:BB across 117.2 innings for the White Sox. Burke allowed 11 runs over 12.2 frames in three starts with Charlotte, but he pitched well his last time out this past Wednesday, fanning seven in a quality start.

The Red Sox recalled Harrison from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.

Harrison is a likely candidate to serve in a bulk-relief/piggyback role Wednesday against the Athletics, following starter Payton Tolle, who is expected to be in line for a light workload. The left-handed Harrison has posted a 3.75 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 50:27 K:BB in 50.1 innings over 12 starts with Worcester since being acquired via trade in mid-June and will be making his Red Sox debut if he gets into Wednesday's game.

The Red Sox plan to recall Harrison from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics in Sacramento, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Though manager Alex Cora has confirmed that Payton Tolle will start Wednesday's contest, the rookie southpaw will be in line for an abbreviated appearance since he'll be pitching on less than five days' rest for the first time as a professional. According to Cotillo, Cora wouldn't reveal his plans for once Tolle exits the contest, but Harrison would make sense in a piggyback role. Since being acquired from the Giants in mid-June, Harrison has yet to make his Boston debut and has been working out of the rotation at Worcester, turning in a 3.75 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 50:27 K:BB in 50.1 innings over 12 starts. He made a one-inning appearance Sunday and should be capable of covering multiple frames Wednesday in relief of Tolle.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Tolle will make an abbreviated start in Wednesday's game against the Athletics in Sacramento, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Over the weekend, Cora had said that Tolle would be part of the pitching plan for Wednesday's game, though the rookie wasn't in line to start. Cora has since opted to have Tolle make a start in the series finale, though the left-hander will handle a restricted workload since he'll be pitching on four days' rest for the first time all season. The Red Sox will recall Kyle Harrison from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, and he could end up piggybacking Tolle in the contest. Through his first two MLB starts, Tolle has struck out 10 over 8.1 innings but has given up seven earned runs on eight hits and six walks.

Lopez (elbow) is making good progress and has an outside chance of pitching in MLB before the season ends, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Lopez landed on the injured list Aug. 26 with a left elbow flexor strain, just two days after giving up nine runs in a disastrous start against the Mariners. Prior to that outing, the southpaw had been effective, recording a 3.28 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 20 appearances (16 starts) and 90.2 innings. The Athletics aren't in a position to rush him back without playoff pressure, but the positive reports on his recovery are at least encouraging for a possible return.

Mahle (shoulder) will make another rehab start Friday, Abby Jones of DLLS Sports reports.

The Rangers had mulled the possibility of activating Mahle from the 60-day injured list this weekend to make an appearance against the Mets, but they've ultimately decided to give him another rehab outing to continue getting stretched out. Mahle struck out three over 2.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, throwing 47 pitches. He's been out since mid-June with a right shoulder strain.

Schultz (knee) won't return to the mound in 2025, MLB.com reports.

Schultz has spent most of the second half of the season on the injured list with a knee injury. The White Sox are taking a cautious approach, and he is no longer expected to pitch in the Arizona Fall League as previously anticipated.
