Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Astros.

Antonacci got the White Sox's offense rolling early, singling in his first at-bat before stealing second base and coming around to score. That marked his third stolen base in July and 14th of the season. Antonacci continues to excel in the leadoff spot for Chicago, as he has 10 runs scored, eight RBI and three home runs across his last 17 games.

Ebel went 24-for-75 (.320) with four home runs, five doubles, 14 RBI, seven stolen bases and a 22:15 BB:K over his last 21 games with Single-A Wilson.

Ebel hit just .180 and posted a .588 OPS over his first 32 games of the season, but he started to heat up in mid-May, and thanks to his recent hot stretch he now owns a .252 batting average and .811 OPS on the season. The Brewers selected the 19-year-old in the first round in 2025, and he is showing why.

The Twins released Arcia on Friday.

Minnesota parted ways with Arcia after Triple-A St. Paul reinstated shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper (hand) from the 7-day injured list in a corresponding move. Arcia was outrighted to Triple-A on June 18 after he had produced a .271/.300/.354 slash line with one home run, two RBI and six runs in 19 games with Minnesota.

Jones didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander continues to look good in July, with the only blemish on his line Friday coming on a solo shot by Pete Crow-Armstrong in the sixth inning. Jones produced his second quality start of 2026 on 83 pitches (55 strikes), and he's given up just three runs total over four starts and 21 innings this month with a 1.29 ERA, 0.52 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB. Jones will look to stay locked in during his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Diamondbacks.

Prielipp (finger) threw a bullpen session at Target Field on Thursday and is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's home game versus the Athletics, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

The Twins have yet to announce a starter for Saturday's contest, but all signs point to Prielipp getting the nod, assuming his bullpen session went according to plan. Minnesota placed Prielipp on the IL on July 9 after he developed a blister on his middle finger, with the trip to the shelf enabling the Twins to manage his workload during the second half of the season. Prielipp -- who underwent elbow surgeries in 2021 and 2023 -- is already up to 85.1 innings this season between the majors and Triple-A St. Paul, after he tossed a career-high 101.1 innings across three minor-league affiliates in 2025. He was limited to three frames during his rehab start with St. Paul last weekend, and it wouldn't be surprising if Prielipp were capped at around four or five innings in his first start back from the IL.

Ragsdale is 20-for-65 (.308) with seven home runs, 13 RBI, six stolen bases and an 18:21 BB:K through 18 games with Double-A Biloxi.

A sizzling start to the season with High-A Wisconsin earned Ragsdale a promotion to Biloxi, and he has fared even better in the OPS department than he did at his first stop. The Brewers do not lack quality prospects, and Ragsdale has firmly put his name in the mix.

Outman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Outman will move to the bench for a second straight game after starting five of Detroit's first seven games after the All-Star break. Riley Greene, Matt Vierling and Zach McKinstry will patrol the outfield while Outman rests.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Pirates.

The star center fielder got the Cubs on the board by taking Jared Jones deep in the sixth inning. It was his first long ball since July 8 and his 22nd of the season, and over 17 games this month he's delivered a .288/.447/.593 slash line with four homers, five steals, 10 RBI and 13 runs.

Anderson struck out seven batters over five perfect innings in a game with Double-A Arkansas on Friday.

Anderson -- presumably for rest purposes with no injury reported -- had not taken the mound in three weeks, but he picked up right where he left off and showed no signs of rust. It's unclear what Seattle's plans are for Anderson the rest of the way, but with the lefty sporting a 1.27 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and eye-popping 115:10 K:BB in 77.2 innings over 15 starts on the season, it's evident Double-A batters are no match.

Torkelson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Torkelson will get a day off Saturday after going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts through the first two games of the series. His absence will put Colt Keith at first base, allowing Hao-Yu Lee to start at the hot corner.
