The Orioles selected Beavers' contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

A top prospect in the Orioles' farm system, Beavers will make his MLB debut when he gets into a game. The 23-year-old has put together an outstanding .304/.420/.515 slash line at Norfolk to go along with 18 homers and 23 stolen bases. The outfielder should have a chance at regular playing time while Tyler O'Neill (wrist) is on the shelf. Greg Allen was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Adams dropped to 1-2 on the season in Tuesday's 9-1 loss to the Yankees after striking out two batters and yielding four earned runs on four hits and four walks over 2.1 innings.

After striking out seven and allowing two earned runs in a five-inning start versus the Tigers on Aug. 4, Adams shifted to the bullpen for his next appearance. The Twins went back to Adams in a starting role Tuesday, but he was undone by the long ball early, serving up a solo shot to Aaron Judge in the first inning and a three-run blast to Anthony Volpe in the second. After allowing three of the first four hitters to reach base in the bottom of the third, Adams was mercifully pulled from the game. Minnesota will have another opening in its rotation this Sunday against the Tigers, but it's unclear if Adams will be the team's choice to start or work in bulk relief that day. Thomas Hatch worked in long relief behind Adams on Tuesday and could also be a candidate to handle multiple innings Sunday.

Story went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

A listless Red Sox offense managed to eke out a win on three hits, as Story's bases-loaded, walk-off single secured the win. Earlier in the game, he stole his 21st base in 21 attempts, which set a new franchise record for consecutive stolen-base attempts without being thrown out. Story is on a roll right now, slashing .345/.415/.586 with three home runs, five doubles, 15 RBI, four steals and 16 runs over the last 15 contests.

Myers struck out a batter and allowed two hits and no walks over two scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the Pirates.

After returning from Triple-A Nashville with a 3.1-inning start versus the Mariners on Aug. 9, Myers shifted to the bullpen this week. With Milwaukee building up a seven-run lead after seven innings during Wednesday's contest, Myers was called upon to finish out the contest and was able to deliver a couple of drama-free frames. The Brewers have a doubleheader on tap Monday against the Cubs and will need to add a temporary starter to the mix, but Myers may not necessarily be called upon to make a start for either contest of the twin bill. Instead, the Brewers may prefer to keep Myers in a multi-inning relief role and call up Chad Patrick from Triple-A Nashville on Monday to start one of the two contests while Freddy Peralta starts the other.

Higashioka went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

Higashioka gave the Rangers an early lead with a three-run homer in the second inning. The blast was his fourth home run over the last 11 games, a span in which he slashed .289/.325/.684 with eight RBI and eight runs scored.

Soto went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 11-9 loss to the Mariners.

The $765 million man took Luis Castillo deep in the fourth inning for his 30th homer of the season, and his fifth over the course of an eight-game hitting streak. The expectations that came with his contract may been contributing to perceptions that Soto has been a disappointment this season, but he's hardly been unproductive. Through 120 contests, he's 12th in the majors in OPS among qualified hitters at .883, eighth in OBP at .384 and he sits one steal shy of his first career 30-20 campaign.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's 2-0 loss to Atlanta.

Kwan was the lone Guardian to record hits in the loss. August hasn't been kind to Kwan, who is slashing .211/.237/.298 over 13 games. The second-half drop-off in 2025 is similar to what happened last year, when Kwan recorded a .206/.316/.302 slash line after the All-Star break.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 11-9 loss to the Mariners.

The shortstop made an early impact, taking Luis Castillo deep in the first and fourth innings, but New York's pitching couldn't hold the lead Lindor helped build. While the fading Mets are still clinging to a playoff spot, Lindor may be heating up at the right time to save their season. Over 13 games in August, he's slashing .314/.417/.608 with three doubles, four homers, two steals, 10 RBI and 14 runs.

Manaea didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-9 loss to the Mariners, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.

The veteran southpaw may have been lucky to limit the damage as much as he did, as four of the six hits off him went for extra bases, including homers by Mitch Garver and Cal Raleigh, and Seattle wound up setting a club record with nine doubles on the night. After giving up a single run in four straight starts after making his season debut July 13, Manaea has crashed back to earth in a hurry, getting tagged for 13 runs in 14.2 innings over his last three outings, albeit with an encouraging 15:3 K:BB. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week against the Nationals.

Means (elbow) allowed one hit and struck out three over 2.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start for High-A Lake County on Friday.

Means opened a rehab assignment Friday and threw 38 pitches (30 strikes), which got him close to the three innings the Guardians planned for him. Assuming the left-hander's rehab progresses well and he builds up innings, Means could be available to help Cleveland pursue a playoff spot in September.
