  • Cole Wilcox RP | SEA

    Rays' Cole Wilcox: Optioned after big-league debut

    Wilcox was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The 26-year-old righty made his big-league debut Friday, giving up seven runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks in one inning against the Red Sox. Wilcox has a 3.71 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 57:27 K:BB in 51 innings as a multi-inning reliever at Triple-A.

  • Rays' Jesse Scholtens: Called up Saturday

    Scholtens was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Scholtens, who was claimed off waivers by Tampa Bay on Aug. 4 after he was designated for assignment by the White Sox, has a 4.13 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB in 32.2 innings across seven starts for the Bulls. The 31-year-old righty hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, when he logged a 5.29 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 85 innings for the White Sox. He'll likely work as a low-leverage reliever capable of getting more than three outs.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Goes deep Friday

    Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Colorado.

    Moore put the Angels on the board with a two-run homer that tied the score 2-2 in the second inning. The rookie second baseman has been flashing his power of late, belting three homers in six games since being called back up to the big leagues Sept. 13. His other two hits during that span have been doubles, though he's also struck out nine times in 20 plate appearances.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Not starting Game 1

    Lee isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

    Lee will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's twin bill after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts Friday. Ryan Fitzgerald will start at shortstop and bat seventh for the Twins.

  • Denzer Guzman SS | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Swats second long ball

    Guzman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in a loss to the Rockies on Friday.

    Guzman hit the second of two Angels homers in the second inning, going 415 feet deep to left field. It was his second home run (and fourth overall hit) through six games as a pro. Though he's shown good pop during his short time in the majors, Guzman has also struck out in a whopping 12 of his 20 plate appearances.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Reaches 30-30 mark

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Baltimore.

    Chisholm accounted for the Yankees' only runs in the game with his homer to right-center field in the seventh inning. The long ball was his 30th of the campaign (a career high) and, paired with his 30 thefts, put him in rarified air as just the third Yankees player with a 30-30 season (Bobby Bonds and Alfonso Soriano are the others). Juan Soto of the Mets is the only other MLB player to reach the 30-30 mark so far this season.

  • C.J. Kayfus 1B | CLE

    Guardians' C.J. Kayfus: Idle for Game 1

    Kayfus isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Minnesota.

    Kayfus snapped his five-game hitting streak with an 0-for-2 performance Friday, and he'll stay put in the dugout to begin Saturday's festivities. Kyle Manzardo will get the nod at first base, and George Valera will cover right field with Kayfus out.

  • Keider Montero SP | DET

    Tigers' Keider Montero: Picking up another start

    Montero is slated to start Saturday's game against Atlanta at Comerica Park.

    After being called up from Triple-A Toledo on Sept. 3, Montero made his first two appearances with the Tigers as a reliever before being called upon to make a start in Miami last Sunday. The right-hander acquitted himself well in that outing, earning a win while striking out five over five shutout innings. He'll be rewarded with another turn through the rotation as a result of his prior performance, and he could have a slightly longer leash after tossing just 76 pitches against the Marlins before being removed from the contest.

  • Owen White RP | CHW

    White Sox's Owen White: Activated, optioned to Triple-A

    The White Sox Sox" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="CHW">White Sox reinstated White (hip) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

    A right hip impingement has kept White on the shelf since mid-August. He began a rehab assignment in Triple-A on Aug. 28 and has since given up just two runs over 11.2 innings while striking out nine batters and walking five. Now fully healthy, he'll stay put in the minors, although the White Sox could promote him during the final week of the regular season to give their bullpen a fresh arm.

  • Petey Halpin OF | CLE

    Guardians' Petey Halpin: Selected from Columbus

    The Guardians recalled Halpin from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

    Halpin has spent the entire season at Triple-A, slashing .249/.321/.414 with 14 homers, 44 RBI, 86 runs scored and 15 stolen bases over 126 games. With Nolan Jones now set to miss the rest of the regular season with an oblique strain, the 23-year-old Halpin will come up to fill the open spot in Cleveland's outfield unit. He will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.
