The Yankees recalled Winans from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Winans has spent most of this season in Triple-A, where he's started in 14 of 16 games with a 1.20 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 82:22 K:BB across 75 innings. That success in the minors hasn't translated to the majors, and across 9.1 major-league innings he has yielded 11 runs (nine earned) on 13 hits and three walks while striking out six batters. Winans will likely serve in a long-relief role out of the Yankees' bullpen.

Baez went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Baez snapped a three-game hitless streak with his fifth multi-hit performance of the month. He's been solid overall in August, posting a .291 batting average, a home run, a stolen base and 10 RBI across 17 games. An infielder by trade, Baez has been seeing most of his time in center field recently with Matt Vierling (oblique) and Parker Meadows (quad) both on the injured list, though the former did start Wednesday's contest at shortstop before later moving to center.

The Angels recalled Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Although Silseth has transitioned to a relief role in the minors this season, he could be used out of the Angels' rotation this weekend against the Cubs while Jose Soriano (personal) is on the paternity list. Silseth last saw major-league action in 2024, when he made two starts and posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over eight innings.

Dingler went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Dingler isn't known for his speed, as the triple was just his second of the season, and he's never swiped a base at the MLB level. The catcher has still been plenty productive for the Tigers with a .274/.321/.432 slash line across 98 games this year. It's a big step forward for Dingler, who posted a .167/.195/.310 line in 27 regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

The Angels placed Soriano on the paternity list Wednesday.

Soriano is tentatively lined up to start against the Cubs this weekend, and he should still be available to pitch since players can spend only 1-to-3 days on the paternity list. The Angels recalled Chase Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake, who could make a spot start if Soriano is away from the team for longer than expected. Soriano has gone 2-2 in six starts since the All-Star break with a 4.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 35.2 innings.

Schanuel is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Reds on Wednesday.

Even with the Reds sending right-hander Nick Martinez to the mound, the lefty-hitting Schanuel will be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's game while Niko Kavadas starts at first base and bats eighth. Schanuel has three multi-hit games over his last four starts but has a .611 OPS with one steal, one homer and four RBI in 77 plate appearances since the beginning of August.

O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Reds on Wednesday.

O'Hoppe will be on the bench for a second straight game while Travis d'Arnaud starts behind the plate and bats seventh. O'Hoppe has struggled at the plate of late, going 0-for-12 with six strikeouts over his last three games.

Higashioka (hamstring) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Royalls.

Higashioka had been out of the Rangers' lineup for the past four games due to a hamstring injury, but he has been given the green light to play Wednesday. In 17 games since the All-Star break, Higashioka has slashed .298/.322/.579 with four home runs, one stolen base, nine runs and eight RBI over 59 plate appearances.

The Rangers recalled Latz from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

Caleb Boushley will begin the game on the mound for the Rangers on Wednesday in Kansas City, but since he'll be pitching on one day of rest and hasn't covered more than one frame since making a three-inning appearance for Round Rock on Aug. 10, he'll likely be in line for an abbreviated start. As one of the fresher arms in the bullpen who's capable of providing length, Latz could be called upon for multiple innings of relief Wednesday. Latz is available on three days' rest and worked five-plus innings on three previous occasions for Texas this season, most recently doing so July 20 versus Detroit.

The Rangers placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to nerve irritation in his right hand, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Winn's hand injury may have played a factor in his poor relief appearance in the Rangers' 5-2 loss to the Royals on Tuesday, when he hit two batters with a pitch and yielded a two-run home run across 1.1 innings. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the 25-year-old reliever won't be eligible to be reinstated from the IL until Sept. 4. Southpaw Jacob Latz was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.
