  • Giants' Cesar Perdomo: Promoted to big leagues

    The Giants selected Perdomo from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Perdomo has started in nine games for Triple-A Sacramento in 2026. He has recorded a 5.10 ERA and 1.61 WHIP through 47.2 innings. He had a 3.98 ERA across 13 starts earlier in 2026 with Double-A Richmond. While the 24-year-old has started in all of his appearances in Triple-A, he may find some relief work in San Francisco. His selection comes with rosters expanding in September.

  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Scheduled for surgery

    Estevez will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Estevez began throwing in bridge league games at the Royals' complex in Arizona last week but wasn't making much progress, so the team will shut him down for the season, and the right-hander will go under the knife to address his strained rotator cuff. The 33-year-old appeared in just one game for the Royals this year, during which he gave up six earned runs while recording just one out. Kansas City is likely to decline his $13 million club option for next season.

  • Zach Morgan C | SF

    Giants' Zach Morgan: Rejoining big club

    The Giants recalled Morgan from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Morgan was up with the Giants for a day Aug. 10 but was sent back down the next day. After getting sent back down, he got three hits in 21 at-bats with two RBI in seven games for Triple-A Sacramento. The 26-year-old is getting recalled Tuesday as rosters expand in September.

  • Astros' Mike Burrows: Tending to shoulder inflammation

    Astros manager Joe Espada said that Burrows (elbow) was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shoulder after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    After covering 4.1 innings and 77 pitches in his third rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land last Wednesday, Burrows looked primed to return from the 15-day injured list and slot back into the Houston rotation this week. However, with Burrows experiencing discomfort in his shoulder while playing catch Monday, he'll now have his activation from the IL delayed indefinitely. The Astros will likely have Burrows rest for at least the next few days with the hope that the inflammation subsides and he's able to start throwing again.

  • Giants' Adrian Houser: Done for season

    The Giants transferred Houser (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, effectively ending his season, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Houser exited his start versus the Reds last Tuesday due to a right forearm strain. The right-hander got an MRI the following day that revealed the extent of the injury. With the Giants out of the playoff picture, Houser's season is being shut down. He concludes 2026 with a 4.02 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 109.2 innings over 26 appearances (16 starts).

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Taking swings Tuesday

    Schanuel (side) is scheduled to resume swinging a bat Tuesday, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    It's the first time Schanuel will do any kind of hitting work since he landed on the injured list Aug. 22 with an intercostal strain. The 24-year-old resumed participating in agility work last week, though there are still a few hurdles left for him to clear before the Angels can activate him from the injured list.

  • Matt Gage RP | SF

    Giants' Matt Gage: Shut down after setback

    Gage was pulled off his rehab assignment and shut down from throwing for a week after experiencing discomfort in his left elbow, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    The left-hander surrendered four runs over two-thirds of an inning during his third rehab outing Friday, which is presumably when the discomfort surfaced. Gage has been on the injured list since early July due to a flexor strain, and the setback could mean he's unable to return before the end of the season.

  • Drew Gilbert CF | SF

    Giants' Drew Gilbert: Scratched Tuesday

    Gilbert was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    It's unknown why Gilbert was taken out of the lineup, but the Giants should offer an explanation in the near future. In the meantime, Jonah Cox will start in center field and bat fourth.

  • Denzer Guzman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Resting up Tuesday

    Guzman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    Guzman will take a day to regroup after going 2-for-25 with eight strikeouts over his last nine games. Oswald Peraza will get the nod at the hot corner and bat eighth.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Reinstated from IL

    The Diamondbacks reinstated Gurriel (thigh) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    As expected, Gurriel is back Tuesday after being out since July 18 due to a strained right abductor. He started a rehab stint with Triple-A Reno on Aug. 18 and played in eight games. The 32-year-old logged just three his in 28 at-bats along with three RBI and three walks. He's set to begin Tuesday's game against the Phillies on the bench, per Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv, and Gurriel may be competing for playing time in the future following the Diamondbacks' acquisition of Lars Nootbaar on Aug. 3.
