Cameron took a no-decision Wednesday against Texas, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

Cameron's streak of starts of at least five innings was stopped at seven, and the three walks were his most since June 27 against the Dodgers. On a positive note, the rookie left-hander recorded 11 whiffs and registered his most strikeouts since his July 27 outing against Cleveland. Cameron will take a strong 2.53 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 83:31 K:BB over 103 frames into his next scheduled appearance, which is slated for next week in Chicago against the last-place White Sox.

Pham went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Pham accounted for all of Pittsburgh's offense with a two-run double in the first inning. After a hot stretch in the middle of the summer, he's slowed since the start of August, hitting only .218 with a pair of home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored across 16 games. Pham remains the Pirates' primary left fielder, though the team could choose to shift playing time to younger options down the stretch.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Tigers.

Dubon has started five of the last six games and showcased his versatility, playing first base, second base, shortstop and left field. He hadn't produced much offensively prior to Wednesday's home run during that stretch, going only 2-for-11 with an RBI and a run scored. Dubon changed his fortunes with a two-run blast in the fourth inning, his seventh of the season.

Vazquez underwent surgery due to remove an infection from his left shoulder and will remain at his home in Florida for about two more weeks, MLB.com reports. He will be on a course of antibiotics for three weeks.

The Twins haven't ruled out Vazquez from returning this season, but that seems like a long shot given his treatment schedule and with the Twins out of the playoff hunt.

Festa (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session Saturday, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

If all goes well, he could begin a rehab assignment at some point the following week. Festa went on the 15-day injured list July 23 due to right shoulder inflammation. He later received two anti-inflammatory injections in the injured shoulder.

Roupp suffered a sprained left knee during his start in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Padres and is scheduled to undergo an MRI later this week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Roupp is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list after he was struck by a comebacker in the bottom of the third inning and needed to be carted off the field. The right-hander -- who took the loss while allowing five earned runs on five hits and two walks over 2.1 innings -- now owns a 3.80 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 102:45 K:BB through his 22 starts on the season. The severity of his injury won't be known until the results of his MRI are available, but Roupp will land on the IL for the second time in two months and could be at risk of missing the rest of the season.

Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said following Wednesday's win over the Reds that Neto is "fine" after X-rays came back negative on his left wrist, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Neto was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in the bottom of the third inning and was later removed from the game in the top of the sixth after he didn't look comfortable in his subsequent plate appearance. Oswald Peraza replaced Neto at shortstop, but it sounds like Neto is day-to-day with the Angels headed into an off day Thursday ahead of weekend set with the Cubs.

Ferguson picked up the save in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Twins, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in a scoreless 10th inning.

The save was Ferguson's second of the year and his first since May 4 in Miami. The 31-year-old right-hander has rattled off 7.1 consecutive scoreless innings, though he likely still has work to do before the Athletics trust him in the high-leverage mix on a consistent basis following the Mason Miller trade. For the campaign, Ferguson has a 5.53 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 41:29 K:BB over 42.1 innings.

Langeliers went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Langeliers smashed a go-ahead shot, his 28th homer of the year, in the 10th inning to give the Athletics the lead. Since returning from the injured list June 30, the slugging backstop has been on an absolute tear in the power department. Langeliers has now homered in three consecutive outings, and he's batting .309 with 18 big flies, 11 doubles and 33 RBI over his last 40 contests.

Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Soderstrom extended his hitting streak to eight games, and he's also hit safely in 18 of his last 20 outings. It's been a breakout campaign for the 23-year-old slugger, who has an .817 OPS in 2025. Over his last 20 contests, Soderstrom is slashing a robust .333/.403/.609 with four long balls, seven doubles and 14 RBI covering 77 plate appearances.
