MLB Player News

Haggerty started in left field and batted leadoff, going 3-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Royals.

With usual leadoff batter Josh Smith (hamstring) not available and Evan Carter held out of the starting nine against a left-hander (Kris Bubic), Haggerty filled in for both players. Haggerty has been respectable for fantasy purposes, slashing .265/.315/.434 with five steals, two doubles, three triples, two home runs, nine RBI and 14 runs scored over 29 games. The issue is the sporadic nature of his playing time, as Wednesday's start was just his second in the last eight contests.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The Angels and Yankees are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, so O'Hoppe will get some rest after catching all nine innings of Wednesday's 3-2 win. Travis d'Arnaud will check in for O'Hoppe behind the dish.

Soler (back) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Soler will take a seat for the second straight game while he manages a stiff back. With Soler on the bench for the series finale in New York, Jo Adell will shift over to right field, allowing Scott Kingery to pick up a start in center field.

The Tigers recalled Smith from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Smith will serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Pirates and will be available for both contests of the twin bill. The 25-year-old has made two relief appearances for the Tigers this season, allowing two runs over three innings.

Sborz (shoulder) threw about 25 pitches in a live batting practice Wednesday at Globe Life Field, MLB.com reports.

Sborz has thrown a few sessions of batting practice, and manager Bruce Bochy confirmed he'll throw one or two more before heading out on a rehab assignment. The right-handed reliever has been working his way back from shoulder surgery he underwent in November of 2024.

The Yankees transferred Cabrera (ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

Cabrera suffered a fracture as well as ligament damage to his left ankle May 12 and underwent surgery soon thereafter. While the Yankees haven't officially ruled Cabrera out for the season, the infielder is unlikely to return until late in September or perhaps October, if the club is able to make a playoff run. With that in mind, Cabrera's move to the 60-day IL is merely procedural, as it opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jayvien Sandridge, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The White Sox Sox" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="CHW">White Sox recalled White from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

White will serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. The right-hander will provide some length in the bullpen, which the White Sox will likely need in the second game with Mike Vasil making just his third start following a long stint as a reliever.

The Yankees placed De Los Santos on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right elbow discomfort.

He'll be replaced in the bullpen by lefty Jayvien Sandridge, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. De Los Santos has worked in middle relief over his three stints in the big leagues this season, logging a 1.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 13:12 K:BB in 20 innings.

The White Sox recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Gilbert will provide a fresh arm for the bullpen ahead of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. The left-hander has posted a 4.20 ERA and 17:7 K:BB over 15 frames with the big club this season.

The White Sox placed Houser on the paternity list Thursday.

By rule, Houser will miss the next 1-to-3 games. According to Jack Ankony of SI.com, Houser is still expected to pitch this weekend in Toronto when his next turn through the rotation comes up, though it's not yet clear which day he'll start.
