  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Returned to Triple-A

    The Yankees returned Warren to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Angels.

    Making his second MLB start in the second game of the twin bill, Warren struggled mightily, allowing eight earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out six batters in 4.1 innings en route to taking a loss. He'll now head back to Triple-A, where he has also languished to the tune of a 6.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 95.2 frames.

  • Mason Miller RP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Notches 16th save in return

    Miller pitched a perfect ninth inning to record his 16th save of the season Wednesday against the White Sox. He did not record a strikeout.

    Activated off the injured list Wednesday morning, Miller needed just 13 pitches to notch his first save since July 10. With the trade deadline in the rearview mirror, Miller should have little competition for saves the rest of the way. The 25-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season, posting a robust 2.16 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 70:14 K:BB across 41.2 innings while going 16-for-18 in save opportunities.

  • Jose Caballero SS | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Nabs steal in loss

    Caballero went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Cardinals.

    Caballero has five steals over his last eight games despite going hitless in five of those contests. He's just 4-for-24 (.167) with two RBI in that span. The speedy infielder is 30-for-42 on the basepaths this season while adding a middling .231/.290/.353 slash line, seven home runs, 29 RBI, 42 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple over 95 contests. While Caballero isn't swinging a particularly hot bat, he looks to be the primary option for the Rays at third base, though he filled in for Taylor Walls at shortstop in Wednesday's game.

  • Taj Bradley SP | MIN

    Rays' Taj Bradley: Dealt sixth loss

    Bradley (6-6) allowed five runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Cardinals.

    This was the third time all year Bradley has given up at least five runs. He's given up nine runs across his last 9.2 innings, taking losses in each of his last two starts after posting a 20-inning scoreless streak over three outings before that. The 23-year-old still has an impressive 3.07 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP and 106:31 K:BB across 91 innings over 16 starts, but there's always the risk of a young pitcher wearing down late in the year. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Astros.

  • Joey Estes SP | ATH

    Athletics' Joey Estes: Fans four in no-decision

    Estes did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's win against the White Sox, allowing two earned runs on six hits and zero walks while striking out four in five innings.

    Both earned runs came on a two-run blast by Andrew Benintendi in the second inning. Although he yielded three extra-base hits and needed 96 pitches to get through five innings, Estes has pitched well of late. The 22-year-old rookie has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his past five appearances (four starts), pitching to a 2.84 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB in 25.1 innings during that stretch. Estes will look to keep things rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next week against the Mets.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Six shutout innings

    Martin came away with a no-decision Wednesday against the Athletics, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out four in six scoreless innings.

    Martin cruised through six innings on just 82 pitches, even bringing a no-hitter into the fifth inning before an Abraham Toro single broke up the bid. Martin exited the game leading 2-0 and in line for the win, but Touki Toussaint promptly gave up three runs in the seventh, resulting in a no-decision for Martin. The 27-year-old Martin has taken over Erick Fedde's rotation spot since the trade deadline and will continue to make starts for the White Sox, especially with Drew Thorpe (flexor) out for the foreseeable future. Martin owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 12.1 innings (two starts) this season. His next start is scheduled to come next week against the Yankees.

  • Wyatt Langford LF | TEX

    Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Swipes 10th bag

    Langford went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Astros.

    Langford broke out of an 0-for-13 slump Wednesday, reaching base three times and recording his 10th theft of the season. The rookie started in center field and appears to be back to full strength after missing two games this past weekend with back tightness. The outfielder has had a respectable rookie season thus far, batting .242 with six home runs, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 89 games played.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Locks down 24th save

    Hader struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to collect his 24th save of the season Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Pitching for the third day in a row, Hader needed just 11 pitches to lock down his 24th save of the season. The 30-year-old has has been excellent over his past five appearances, notching four saves while allowing just one hit and three walks over 4.1 scoreless innings. Hader owns a 3.75 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 77:18 K:BB across 50.1 innings this season, converting 24 of 25 save opportunities.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Still not running full speed

    Correa (heel) is unlikely to join the Twins during their four-game series against the Guardians that begins Friday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "He's ramping up his running right now," said Twins manager Rocco Baldelli. "He's not sprinting yet. When he's able to sprint and run the way he needs to, he's going to go on a rehab assignment and go get some at-bats. Then he'll be on his way back at that point. He has not hit that point yet."

    Correa did some jogging last weekend and appeared to be on track for a rehab assignment, but he experienced some pain in the plantar fasciitis in his right heel. Since he hasn't started running at full speed, it sounds like he could still be out several more weeks.

  • Guardians' Carlos Carrasco: Stuck with 10th loss

    Carrasco (3-10) took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks in the second game of a doubleheader, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

    After delivering a scoreless first inning, Carrasco allowed two runs in the second, including a leadoff homer to Josh Bell, before the Diamondbacks added on two more runs on Bell's second homer in the third. The 37-year-old Carrasco has dropped four of his last five starts while struggling to an 8.65 ERA in his last four outings. His ERA is up to 5.64 on the season with a 1.40 WHIP and 89:33 K:BB across 103.2 innings. Carrasco's currently lined up to face to Cubs at home early next week, though he could soon lose his spot in the rotation with Matthew Boyd (elbow) nearing a return.
