  • Angel Genao 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Genao: Belts pinch-hit homer Tuesday

    Genao went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer during Tuesday's 6-1 win over Toronto.

    Genao pinch hit for Travis Bazzana in the seventh inning, and the former answered the call by taking Joe Mantiply deep to left field for a two-run homer. It was the second major-league homer of Genao's career, with the first taking place Aug. 8 against the White Sox. Since making his major-league debut Aug. 5, he has gone 20-for-76 (.263) with five RBI, five extra-base hits, one steal and 10 runs scored across 22 games.

  • Guardians' Patrick Bailey: Homers against Toronto

    Bailey went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during the Guardians' 6-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

    Bailey put the Guardians on the board with a two-run homer off Spencer Arrighetti in the fifth inning. It was Bailey's second home run as a member of the Guardians and his fourth multi-hit game over his last seven outings, during which he has gone 8-for-18 with seven RBI and three extra-base hits.

  • Angel Martinez LF | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Cracks two-run homer vs. Toronto

    Martinez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored during the Guardians' 6-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

    The Guardians smacked three two-run homers during Tuesday's win, with Martinez being responsible for the third one that took place in the eighth inning. Martinez has gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to 14 homers on the year. He has four multi-hit games over his last nine outings, going 11-for-31 (.355) with two homers, six RBI and six runs scored in that span.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Career-high 13 strikeouts in win

    Williams (13-7) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and one walk while striking out 13 across seven innings.

    It was a nearly flawless performance from Williams, who capped off Tuesday's start by striking out five of the last six batters he faced. The one blemish to his night was a wild pitch in the fifth inning that allowed Kazuma Okamoto to score, but it was an otherwise spectacular night from Williams and a nice bounce back from his last outing against the Angels on Aug. 25, when he failed to make it out of the second inning. Williams' 13 wins are a career high, and he'll take a 3.81 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 163 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend at home against Detroit.

  • Tommy White 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Tommy White: Exits with injury

    White was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers with lower-back soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    White tweaked his back on a swing in the second inning, and he was removed from the game before he could finish his at-bat. The A's will take a closer look at him and should provide an update on his health in the near future.

  • Edwin Diaz RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Approaching rehab assignment

    Diaz (neck) will embark on a rehab assignment before returning from the injured list, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

    Diaz threw a simulated inning Tuesday and will do so again later this week before joining one of the Dodgers' minor-league affiliates. It's unknown how many rehab innings the 32-year-old will pitch before rejoining Los Angeles' bullpen, but once he's healthy, he is expected to pitch in lower-leverage situations until the Dodgers are comfortable moving him back into a closing role.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Nearing return

    Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Treinen (elbow) will be activated from the injured list "very soon," Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

    Treinen was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Aug. 15 and has since fired 6.1 shutout innings while striking out eight batters and walking two between Single-A and Triple-A. The 38-year-old reliever has posted a 3.52 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 23 innings in the majors this season and will likely work in middle relief once activated.

  • Luis Robert CF | BAL

    Orioles' Luis Robert: Idle Tuesday

    Robert isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado.

    Robert will have to wait a bit longer before making his Orioles debut after being claimed off waivers from the Mets on Monday. Dylan Beavers, Colton Cowser and Leody Taveras will form Baltimore's outfield trio while Robert sits.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Sitting down Tuesday

    Mayo isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    Mayo has tallied at least one hit in each of his last six games, but the Orioles will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest. Samuel Basallo will fill in at first base, allowing Carlos Narvaez to start behind the plate.

  • Corbin Burnes SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Set to throw in bridge game

    Burnes (elbow) will not return during the weekend, but he will throw in a bridge game Thursday, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

    Burnes got off to a great start to his rehab assignment with two perfect innings for Triple-A Reno. However, the Diamondbacks want him to increase his pitch count. The right-hander is throwing a bullpen Tuesday and then will throw in the bridge game Thursday.
