  • Twins' DaShawn Keirsey: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Twins recalled Keirsey from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

    Keirsey has slashed a lowly .108/.140/.181 across 86 plate appearances with the big club this season. He'll provide outfield depth in the final days of the season.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Lands on IL with sprained thumb

    The Twins placed Keaschall on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left thumb sprain.

    Keaschall suffered the season-ending injury during Tuesday's game against the Rangers while stealing second base. He'll visit with a specialist next week to determine whether surgery is necessary. Even if a procedure is required, Keaschall should be fine by the time spring training rolls around. The rookie finishes his promising first season with a .302/.382/.445 batting line, four home runs and 14 steals over 207 plate appearances.

  • Albert Suarez SP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Getting another MRI on elbow

    Suarez will undergo another MRI on his injured right elbow after the inflammation subsides, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Suarez had imaging last week after landing on the 15-day injured list, but the results were inconclusive due to inflammation. He's scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister on Oct. 7, and more should be known about his condition after that exam.

  • Troy Melton P | DET

    Tigers' Troy Melton: Making start Thursday

    Melton will start Thursday's game in Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Each of Melton's last 10 appearances have come in relief, though he did throw three innings as recently as Sept. 13. The rookie right-hander will be pitching on four days' rest and should be capable of going a few innings for the Tigers, if needed. Keider Montero should be available for bulk out of the bullpen, though it's unclear whether the Tigers intend to use him.

  • George Valera CF | CLE

    Guardians' George Valera: Swats second homer

    Valera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Tigers.

    The 24-year-old rookie took Jack Flaherty deep in the third inning, giving Cleveland a 2-1 lead the team wouldn't relinquish. Valera has started five of six games against right-handed pitching since being added to the 28-man roster, four at DH and one in right field, and he's gone 8-for-33 (.242) with two doubles, two homers, five runs and five RBI.

  • Twins' Zebby Matthews: Won't make another start

    Matthews is not scheduled to make a start this weekend in Philadelphia.

    Matthews had tentatively lined up to pitch the regular-season finale Sunday, but the Twins have Simeon Woods Richardson scheduled to take the ball that day instead. The righty bounced back from a couple rough outings to throw seven innings of one-run ball versus the Rangers on Tuesday in what turned out to be his final start of the season. Matthews will finish with a 5.56 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 88:24 K:BB over 79.1 frames covering 16 starts for Minnesota in 2025.

  • Mick Abel P | MIN

    Twins' Mick Abel: Drawing start Saturday

    Abel is scheduled to start Saturday in Philadelphia.

    Abel made a four-inning relief appearance after being recalled from Triple-A St. Paul last weekend and will get an opportunity to make a start for the Twins against his former team. The right-hander was knocked around for six runs over three innings versus the White Sox last month in his only start for Minnesota.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Wins third straight

    Bibee (12-11) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over the Tigers, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander extended his win streak to three starts and his quality-start streak to four with another sharp performance, tossing 63 of 105 pitches for strikes. Bibee's produced a 1.30 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB through 27.2 September innings, helping the Guardians make history by overcoming a 15.5-game deficit and catching the Tigers in the AL Central -- they now sit one game up with four to play. Unless he's needed this weekend to help clinch a playoff spot, Bibee will put his 2025 regular season in the books with a 4.24 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 162:54 K:BB through 182.1 innings.

  • Jack Flaherty SP | DET

    Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Can't stem historic collapse

    Flaherty (8-15) took the loss Wednesday, giving up three runs on five hits over 4.1 innings as the Tigers were downed 5-1 by the Guardians. He struck out six without walking a batter.

    The veteran righty didn't pitch poorly, tossing 55 of 83 pitches for strikes before getting an early hook, but Detroit's offense stayed quiet. Since an eight-run meltdown Aug. 24, Flaherty has delivered a solid 3.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 24.1 innings in five starts, but that hasn't been enough to stop an epic collapse by the Tigers, who have squandered a 15.5-game lead in the AL Central and now sit one game back of the Guardians with four contests left on the schedule. Unless he's needed over the final weekend in an all-hands-on-deck scenario, Flaherty wraps up his 2025 campaign with a 4.64 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 188:59 K:BB though 161 innings.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Slugs long ball in victory

    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two total RBI in Wednesday's 6-0 win against Houston.

    Soderstrom and Shea Langeliers each had a double and a homer in the contest as they combined for all four of the Athletics' extra-base hits. Soderstrom's home run was a 395-foot solo shot in the seventh inning that capped the scoring in the contest. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a breakout campaign, slashing .280/.349/.480 with 25 home runs, 74 runs, 93 RBI and eight stolen bases through 154 games.
