  • Dylan Beavers RF | BAL

    Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Exiting lineup versus lefty

    Beavers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Beavers will join fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo (shoulder), Colton Cowser and Jackson Holliday on the bench while the Red Sox send southpaw Payton Tolle to the bump for the series opener. Tyler O'Neill will draw the start in right field Monday in place of Beavers, who went 4-for-10 with two doubles, one stolen base and one RBI during the Orioles' three-game sweep of the Astros over the weekend.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Idle against southpaw

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Holliday will join fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo (shoulder), Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers on the bench while the Red Sox send southpaw Payton Tolle to the bump for the series opener. Jeremiah Jackson will replace Holliday at second base and will bat seventh.

  • Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Returns to big leagues

    The Orioles selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    Tromp will be up with the Orioles for the second time this season after fellow catcher Adley Rutschman (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Samuel Basallo (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Monday's series opener in Boston, making Tromp and Sam Huff the Orioles' only healthy catchers for the time being.

  • Jonatan Clase LF | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jonatan Clase: Heading to bench Monday

    Clase is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Clase will head to the bench Monday after he went 0-for-5 with a walk and three strikeouts while starting in two of the Blue Jays' three games against the White Sox over the weekend. Myles Straw will receive the nod in left field in the series opener, but Clase will likely rank as the Blue Jays' preferred option at the position until Jesus Sanchez (ankle) makes his return from the injured list.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Facing hitters Tuesday

    Garcia (elbow/neck/biceps) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    If that goes well, Garcia will be cleared to resume a rehab assignment. The veteran reliever had surgery last September to remove scar tissue around his right elbow, and he's had to be pulled off rehab assignments twice because of nerve problems related to his biceps and neck. Once he's cleared to re-start a rehab assignment, Garcia will need multiple outings before rejoining the Blue Jays' bullpen.

  • Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Taking seat Monday

    Feduccia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Feduccia was held out of the starting nine against left-handed pitchers on two occasions during the Rays' four-game series with the Red Sox over the weekend, but the backstop will hit the bench Monday while right-hander Dylan Cease toes the rubber for the Blue Jays. Nick Fortes will handle catching duties in the series opener.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Resuming rehab assignment Wednesday

    Scherzer (back/thumb) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Out for more than a month with back spasms, Scherzer had to be pulled off his rehab last week and was given three cortisone injections in his right thumb. The 41-year-old is scheduled for four innings and/or 60-to-65 pitches Wednesday and is expected to make at least one additional rehab start after that before rejoining the Blue Jays' rotation.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Regaining traction in lineup

    Goldschmidt will start at first base and bat third in Monday's game against the Pirates.

    Goldschmidt looked to be fading into more of a part-time role heading into the All-Star break, but he's now picked up starts -- all against right-handed pitchers -- in three of the Yankees' first four games of the second half. The 38-year-old is still slashing a lowly .143/.189/.257 with a 45.9 percent strikeout rate over 10 games in July, so he'll need to show some improvement to fully solidify himself as a regular in the New York lineup.

  • Cody Freeman LF | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Freeman: Starting rehab assignment

    Freeman (neck) will begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday.

    Freeman has been cleared for game action after requiring surgery in late June to repair a herniated disc in his neck. He should eventually continue his rehab assignment at a higher-level affiliate, but the 25-year-old won't be guaranteed to rejoin the major-league roster once he's activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Bennett Sousa RP | HOU

    Astros' Bennett Sousa: Back in big-league bullpen

    The Astros activated Sousa (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Sousa has been sidelined since early May while dealing with left elbow inflammation, but he's been cleared to return after yielding just one unearned run in five rehab outings. The southpaw was a revelation out of the Houston bullpen in 2025, turning in a 2.84 ERA and 59:15 K:BB over 50.2 innings.
