Pierson Ohl RP | COL
Twins' Pierson Ohl: Sent back to minors
The Twins optioned Ohl to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.
Ohl made his major-league debut in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Red Sox, allowing four runs over three innings as a starter. He could get another opportunity with the big club down the stretch, but for now, he'll return to a swingman role at St. Paul.

Zach McKinstry RF | DET
Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Drives in four against Snakes
McKinstry went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Diamondbacks.
The utility infielder smashed a two-run homer off Brandon Pfaadt in the fifth inning, one of three Detroit long balls in the frame. It was McKinstry's first multi-hit performance since July 9, ending a 12-game slump in which he's gone just 4-for-36 (.111). That downturn has put only a small dent in his career-best campaign, however, as the 30-year-old is still slashing .268/.349/.449 with nine homers, 16 steals, 36 RBI and 51 runs in 368 plate appearances.

Daniel Schneemann CF | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Swipes bag Tuesday
Schneemann went 2-for-5 with a double, a steal and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.
Schneemann notched only his second multi-hit game since June 26 and swiped his third bag this month after a single in the opening frame. He has a .444 on-base percentage over his last nine games, reaching base a total of 16 times, but is slashing just .221/.310/.381 with nine homers, 28 RBI, 33 runs, eight steals and a 31:68 BB:K in 278 plate appearances this season.

Orioles' Jakson Reetz: Goes to Orioles on minors deal
The Orioles signed Reetz to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
Reetz had been with Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization, where he slashed .197/.287/.470 with 11 home runs in 43 games before being released earlier this month. The 29-year-old will give the Orioles some experienced catching depth at Triple-A Norfolk.

Riley Greene LF | DET
Tigers' Riley Greene: Leads charge in big win
Greene went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Diamondbacks.
The 24-year-old helped break the game open with a two-run shot off Brandon Pfaadt in the fifth inning, one of three Detroit long balls in the frame. Greene has been struggling to find his swing since the All-Star break -- even with Tuesday's huge performance, he's slashing just .200/.217/.378 over the last 11 games with a 1:19 BBK -- so this breakout could be a sign he's heating up again. He's already established new career highs with 26 homers and 84 RBI through 106 contests on the season.

Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE
Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Swats two home runs
Manzardo went 3-for-4 with two homers, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.
Manzardo posted the second multi-homer game of his career with a two-run blast in the third followed by a solo shot in the sixth. He's now hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, slashing .357/.429/.762 with five homers and 13 RBI over that span and is now up to 18 home runs and 46 RBI for the season.

Wenceel Perez RF | DET
Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Runs wild in Tuesday's rout
Perez went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, four runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
The 25-year-old switch hitter smacked a double in his first at-bat of the night and basically never stopped running. The four runs were a career high for Perez, while the multi-hit performance was his first since July 11, snapping an 11-game swoon in which he'd gone just 5-for-38 (.132) with zero extra-base hits. On the season, Perez is slashing .246/.298/.455 with seven homers, five steals, 22 RBI and 28 runs in 49 contests.

Logan Taylor Allen RP | CLE
Guardians' Logan Allen: Goes seven innings in win
Allen (7-9) earned the win over the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three in seven innings.
Allen provided the Guardians with some much-needed length, going seven innings for the first time since July 24, 2023. He was staked to a seven-run lead by the third inning and kept the Guardians well in front by inducing plenty of week contact. Allen's only major blemishes were a pair of solo home runs, and he's now allowed three runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts. He's down to a 4.06 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 81:40 K:BB in 108.2 innings and lines up to face the Mets on the road next week.
