MLB Player News

Boston placed White on the 10-day injured list with a right foot ligament injury Friday, retroactive to Sept. 9.

White had produced at least one base hit in seven of his last eight games before being sidelined Friday. The 32-year-old had been taking over in center field for Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps), becoming an everyday player. In 60 plate appearances since joining Boston, White is slashing .276/.300/.379 with one homer and 12 RBI. The Red Sox recalled Anthony Seigler from Triple-A Worcester to replace White on the active roster.

Sears has joined the Tigers in Detroit and is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

With Jack Flaherty (forearm) due back from the injured list next week, Sears may be in line for just one start for Detroit before either heading to the bullpen or reporting back to Triple-A.Sears has made one start and two relief appearances with the Tigers this season, authoring a 4.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 8:3 K;BB over 12.1 innings.

Montero is traveling to his native Venezuela for the birth of his child, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Montero has not yet been placed on the paternity leave list, but that could happen Saturday when Andrew Sears is added to the roster to make a spot start. With Jack Flaherty (forearm) due back next week, Montero could spend the stretch run in the bullpen.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rockies.

It looks to be a routine day off for the rookie infielder. Javier Baez will cover second base for the Tigers while Lee rests.

Caglianone (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Boston.

It will be the fifth straight game Caglianone has missed as he deals with a left flexor strain. The Royals have considered him day-to-day, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to action. John Rave will get another start in right field Friday.

The Athletics designated Rashi for assignment Friday.

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of waiver claim Hunter Bigge. Rashi was a waiver claim himself in August and has allowed five earned runs with a 5:3 K:BB over 5.2 frames between the Diamondbacks and Athletics this season.

The Athletics claimed Bigge off waivers from the Rays on Friday.

It's not a surprise that Bigge didn't make it through waivers after he collected a 2.51 ERA and 36:10 K:BB over 32.1 innings in his first two major-league seasons. He's regressed in 2026 with a 6.98 ERA and 14:14 K:BB over 19.1 innings with the Rays and a 6.14 ERA and 37:20 K:BB over 29.1 frames with Triple-A Durham. However, Bigge is under team control for several more seasons and could turn into a high-leverage reliever with some adjustments.

Rutschman (elbow) will start at catcher and bat third in Friday's game against the Royals.

Rutschman was administered a cortisone injection earlier this week to combat a hyperextended right elbow. He sat out the last two games to allow the shot to take effect, and now he's ready to roll. Rutschman is slashing .188/.253/.391 with four home runs in 19 games since joining the Red Sox.

The Blue Jays selected Martin's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Martin is receiving his first ever promotion to the big leagues after spending 12 years in the minors. The 30-year-old was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays in July, removed from the 40-man roster in August and has now made his way back onto the roster. It's a nice story of perseverance, but Martin isn't likely to play much down the stretch.

The Yankees recalled Hanner from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Hanner permitted three runs with a 6:0 K:BB over four innings during an earlier stint with the big club. He will provide manager Aaron Boone with a fresh bullpen arm.
