Pham went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.

The veteran outfielder supplied the Pirates' only offense when he took Shota Imanaga deep in the fourth inning. Pham has been productive since the All-Star break, batting .300 (24-for-80) over his last 23 games with two of his six homers on the season, along with one steal, nine RBI and 11 runs.

Jensen (wrist) was back in the lineup for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday and hit a two-run home run.

He suffered a right wrist contusion earlier this week but only missed a couple days. Jensen, 22, is slashing .316/.388/.571 with 12 home runs, eight steals and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate over his last 62 games split across Double-A and Triple-A.

Burrows came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.

The rookie right-hander left the mound after just 68 pitches (45 strikes), and the Pirates may be monitoring his workload given that he threw only 54.2 innings across all levels in 2024 and is already up to 102.2 innings between Triple-A and the majors this season. Burrows was showing signs of fatigue in his prior two outings, surrendering four homers and 10 runs in 9.2 frames, but he didn't give up an extra-base hit to the Cubs on Saturday. He'll look for his first win since June 4 in his next start, which currently lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rockies.

Lowe was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Giants with right oblique tightness and is day-to-day, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe was a late scratch Saturday, with Everson Pereira getting added to the lineup. Oblique strains typically result in an injured-list stint, but for now the team is labeling Lowe as day-to-day with tightness. The Rays are scheduled to face righty Logan Webb on Sunday.

The Marlins will recall Wiemer from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Sunday's game in Boston, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

The move isn't official, but Wiemer will come up to replace Kyle Stowers (oblique), who is headed to the 10-day injured list. The righty-hitting Wiemer has batted .375 with two home runs, one steal and a 7:7 K:BB in 40 plate appearances at Jacksonville since the Marlins claimed him off waivers Aug. 4. The Marlins will have a handful of outfielders vying for work with Stowers set to miss multiple weeks, but Wiemer could provide power and speed in the short term if he takes command of a regular spot in the lineup.

Lowe has been removed from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus San Francisco, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe was originally penciled in to play right field and bat sixth, but he was scratched about an hour before the start of the contest. It's not immediately clear if his removal was due to an injury or for another reason. In Lowe's stead, Jake Mangum is sliding over from center field to right while Everson Pereira is getting a start in center.

Pasquantino's early exit from Saturday's game against the White Sox was due to a heat-related illness.

Pasquantino was pulled from the game following his first-inning at-bat, which ended with a strikeout. Though being removed from a game early is very rarely a positive occurrence, the reason for his exit gives reason to hope that he's not dealing with anything serious. It's unclear if Pasquantino will be able to return to the lineup Sunday for the series finale, however.

The Diamondbacks plan to call up Crismatt from Triple-A Reno to start Sunday's game against the Rockies, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Crismatt has worked almost exclusively as a reliever during his time in the majors, but he was a full-time starter with Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies system until he was released in early August. Over 19 starts with Lehigh Valley, he posted a 4.04 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 68:25 K:BB across 100.1 innings while averaging over five frames per outing. He covered just two innings in his first start with Reno on Wednesday, so he should be relatively fresh Sunday, despite pitching on three days' rest. Arizona is in need of a fifth starter after Anthony DeSclafani landed on the injured list Wednesday due to an injured thumb.

Pasquantino was pulled from Saturday's game against the White Sox after one inning due to an apparent injury, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pasquantino appeared to show discomfort after taking a swing in his lone plate appearance. He remained in the contest to finish the at-bat but was replaced by Nick Loftin -- who had started in left field -- at first base for the top of the second inning. Meanwhile, John Rave entered the contest in left. Pasquantino figures to undergo further evaluation, the results of which should provide more details about what he's dealing with, along with a potential return timeframe.

Clarke (hip) had a setback Friday in the midst of a minor-league rehab assignment and is returning to the Athletics to be evaluated, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Clarke went 1-for-2 in his first rehab game Friday, but he was pulled before getting a third plate appearance. It was thought that the rookie outfielder was on the verge of being activated off the injured list, but it now seems he'll be out at least a bit longer. A clearer picture of Clarke's timeline moving forward could emerge after he is evaluated.
