  • Evan Sisk RP | PIT

    Pirates' Evan Sisk: Returns to Pittsburgh

    The Pirates recalled Sisk from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

    Sisk was optioned to the minors last Wednesday, but he'll now return to the big leagues to replace Kyle Nicolas, who went on the bereavement list Friday. Sisk has appeared in nine MLB games this season between the Royals and Pirates, giving up four earned runs while striking out 15 batters and walking six over 8.2 innings.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Sidelined with fractured foot

    The Padres placed Bogaerts on the 10-day injured list Friday with a non-displaced fracture in his left foot.

    Bogaerts fouled a ball off the foot during Wednesday's game in Seattle. He stayed in to finish out that contest, but testing revealed a fracture. The Padres have not yet revealed a timetable for Bogaerts' return, but the injury has the potential to knock him out for most, if not all, of the regular season. Jose Iglesias will take over as the team's primary shortstop.

  • Mason McCoy SS | SD

    Padres' Mason McCoy: Joining big-league club

    The Padres recalled McCoy from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

    McCoy will fill in for Xander Bogaerts (foot), who's being placed on the 10-day injured list. McCoy has gone hitless in five plate appearances with the Padres this season, but he's logged an .804 OPS with 11 homers and 17 stolen bases with El Paso. McCoy will likely compete with Jose Iglesias for starts at the shortstop position.

  • Kyle Nicolas RP | WAS

    Pirates' Kyle Nicolas: Placed on bereavement list

    The Pirates placed Nicolas on the bereavement list Friday.

    Nicolas will be permitted to miss 3-7 games while he tends to more important matters. Evan Sisk was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move and will take Nicolas' place in Pittsburgh's bullpen.

  • Tyler Freeman RF | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Not in Friday's lineup

    Freeman is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Cubs on Friday.

    Freeman will be on the bench for the start of Friday's game while Yanquiel Fernandez serves as the designated hitter and bats eighth. Freeman has slashed .245/.311/.319 with 10 runs scored, five steals, one home run and seven RBI in 102 plate appearances since Aug. 1.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Sitting after fouling ball off foot

    Bogaerts is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota after fouling a ball off his left foot during Wednesday's in Seattle, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan San Diego reports.

    The Padres haven't said the foot issue is the reason Bogaert's isn't starting Friday, but it would make sense for him to be rested if he's still a bit sore. The club could have more on his condition later Friday. Jose Iglesias is handling shortstop and batting seventh in Friday's series opener.

  • Rockies' German Marquez: Officially activated

    The Rockies reinstated Marquez (biceps) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Cubs.

    Marquez will return from nearly a five-week absence due to right biceps tendinitis. The veteran right-hander worked up to 76 pitches in his last minor-league rehab start, and he should be cleared to handle a full workload. Marquez has a better ERA at Coors Field (5.31) than he does on the road (5.95) this season.

  • Noah Cameron SP | KC

    Royals' Noah Cameron: Not making weekend start

    Cameron isn't listed as a starting pitcher in any game of Kansas City's three-game set against the Tigers that begins Friday, Jackson Stone of MLB.com reports.

    Cameron's normal trip through the rotation would have lined him up for a start Saturday, but Stephen Kolek will take the mound instead. Michael Wacha will close out the series Sunday. It's unclear when Cameron's next start will come, but it looks as though the Royals will limit his workload during the closing weeks of the regular season. Cameron has thrown 140.2 innings this season across Triple-A and the Majors, and his previous career high was 122.2 innings, which he set in 2024.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: With team in TOR, not active yet

    Chourio (hamstring) is with the Brewers for their series in Toronto but has not yet been activated from the 10-day injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Chourio told reporters that his right hamstring felt "perfect," and he could be activated at any time. He is not, however, in Friday's lineup for the series opener. Chourio -- who went just 1-for-19 with an 8:2 K:BB in five rehab games with Triple-A Nashville -- has been sidelined since late July with a strained right hamstring.

  • Mike Tauchman CF | NYM

    White Sox's Mike Tauchman: Out against lefty

    Tauchman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    The left-handed-hitting Tauchman doesn't always sit out against southpaws, but he will take a seat for this one as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Brooks Baldwin is in right field for the White Sox.
