  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Labeled day-to-day for now

    Manager Stephen Vogt said after Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers that DeLauter (wrist) is considered day-to-day, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    DeLauter was diagnosed with a right wrist sprain after leaving the second game of Friday's twin bill. However, when Vogt was asked if it's an IL situation for DeLauter, the skipper said, "We don't think so. We're very much day-to-day right now." The Guardians will wait and see how DeLauter feels Saturday before determining his availability for the rest of the series.

  • Mickey Gasper DH | BOS

    Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Supplies lone run Friday

    Gasper went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Red Sox's 1-0 win over the Orioles on Friday.

    Gasper's solo homer off Shane Baz in the first inning proved to be the only run scored in Friday's affair. Gasper has made the most of his opportunities in the big leagues, and the Red Sox will lean on him now due to Willson Contreras (hamstring) being on the 10-day injured list. Since mid-August, Gasper has gone 17-for-45 (.378) with eight home runs, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored. If he continues his strong play at the plate, the Red Sox may have to make some tough roster decisions when one of Contreras, Curtis Mead (wrist) or Masataka Yoshida (hamstring) returns from the IL.

  • Bryan Baker RP | TB

    Rays' Bryan Baker: Leaves game with trainer

    Baker left Friday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Major League Baseball's saves leader walked both batters he faced before exiting alongside the Rays' head athletic trainer. Tyler Wells took over for Baker in the ninth inning and closed the door for his sixth save of the season and second since joining Tampa Bay at the trade deadline.

  • J.T. Ginn SP | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: May be done for season

    Ginn (undisclosed) has made minimal progress in his recovery and may not pitch again this season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    The A's pushed Ginn back from his most recent start and will send him to see an orthopedist Saturday to get a better read on the right-hander's condition. So far, the team has not provided specifics beyond fatigue and soreness. Ginn has not yet been placed on the injured list, but it sounds like that could happen in the coming days.

  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Leaves with hamstring discomfort

    Grisham was removed from Friday's game against the Padres with right hamstring discomfort, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Phillips notes that it's the same hamstring that sent Grisham to the injured list earlier this season, though the outfielder has said that he's been healthy since coming back in July. Regardless, Grisham has been in a bad way at the dish, as he entered Friday with just four hits in his last 44 at-bats.

  • Tommy White 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Tommy White: Could be available off bench Friday

    White (back) has made good progress in his recovery and will potentially be available off the bench for Friday's game against the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    The rookie infielder has been battling a sore back and was held out of all baseball activities for a couple days to give him time to heal up. It would seem those days off had the desired effect, though it's still uncertain when White may return to the starting lineup. After a hot start upon his promotion to the majors, White has limped to a .530 OPS across his last 30 games.

  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Exits with apparent injury

    Grisham was removed from Friday's game against the Padres with an apparent injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    While it wasn't obvious what was hurting Grisham, he was seen going down into the clubhouse with a trainer. Grisham drew a walk and was caught stealing in the top of the second inning. Heliot Ramos replaced Grisham in the third.

  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Suffers right wrist sprain

    DeLauter was removed from the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers with a right wrist sprain, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    DeLauter made one trip to the IL earlier this season with a rib injury and recently missed time with hamstring tightness. The extent of his latest issue isn't entirely clear, though the initial diagnosis is a bit ominous this late in the season. Travis Bazzana replaced DeLauter at designated hitter in the nightcap.

  • Hao Yu Lee 2B | DET

    Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Dealing with left shin contusion

    Lee was removed from the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians with a left shin contusion, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    The news is positive on Lee, as it looked like it could have been a more serious knee injury given his immediate reaction. Lee was banged up on a play at the plate involving Cleveland catcher Austin Hedges, with Lee limping off the field after the incident.

  • Blue Jays' Jameson Taillon: Leaves Friday with elbow discomfort

    Taillon was removed from Friday's game against the Royals with right elbow discomfort.

    Taillon was just activated Friday after missing time with a forearm issue, and he lasted only two innings and 29 pitches in his return. His availability for his next start is very much up in the air, yet the Blue Jays might not have much of a choice but to make a roster move to replenish the bullpen after Taillon's abbreviated outing.
