  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Dealing with elbow injury

    Adames suffered a left elbow injury in Sunday's contest against the Red Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Adames was removed from the game in the fifth inning, and the belief is that he sustained the injury in the first inning while sliding awkwardly into home plate. The 30-year-old finished his day having gone 1-for-3, and he's notched at least one hit in nine of his last 11 contests, batting .333 with three home runs, four RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base over that stretch. The Giants should have better idea of the severity of the injury after Adames gets a more thorough examination.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Returns to majors

    The Mariners recalled Wisdom from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Following Brendan Donovan's (concussion) placement on the injured list Sunday, Wisdom will get his first look in the majors since mid-June. The 34-year-old is batting 5-for-41 (.122 average) with one homer and 18 strikeouts in 15 big-league games this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Gerardo Carrillo: Rejoins big club

    The Diamondbacks recalled Carrillo from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

    The right-hander was optioned to Reno on Monday but will quickly return to the majors since Michael Soroka (arm) was placed on the injured list. Carrillo has pitched well in his first eight career big-league appearances this year, allowing just one earned run with a 15:8 K:BB over 13.2 innings.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Goes four innings vs. Blue Jays

    Rodon didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Toronto, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.

    Rodon was limited to 76 pitches in his second start back from the IL, though he was effective overall. The southpaw has allowed just two earned runs on four hits across eight innings since returning to New York's rotation. Overall, Rodon sports a 3.15 ERA with a 1.21 WHIP and 58:30 K:BB across 11 starts (54.1 innings) this season. It remains to be seen whether Rodon will remain on a pitch count in his next outing, which currently lines up to come at home next weekend against the Red Sox.

  • Jose Soriano SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Soriano: Takes first loss with Toronto

    Soriano (10-7) took the loss Sunday against the Yankees, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

    The Yankees got to Soriano for a pair of runs in the second inning before he was charged with another three runs in the sixth, after the right-hander allowed three straight singles to open the frame. Soriano would ultimately come away with his first loss in four starts since joining Toronto -- he had posted a 2.76 ERA across 16.1 innings in his prior three outings. Overall, Soriano's ERA sits at 3.43 this season with a 1.29 WHIP and 143:65 K:BB across 26 starts (144.1 innings) between the Blue Jays and Angels. Soriano will look to bounce back his next time out, which is currently slated to come next weekend at home against the Mariners.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Departs Sunday's game

    Adames was removed from Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to an apparent lower-body injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    The veteran shortstop made an awkward slide into home plate during the first inning, and while he initially remained in the contest, Adames was replaced in the field for the bottom of the fifth. Adames went 1-for-3 with a run scored before departing the contest and should be considered day-to-day for now.

  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Orioles' Shane Baz: Falls to 4-14

    Baz (4-14) took the loss Sunday against Tampa Bay, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

    Baz held Tampa scoreless through five innings before things fell apart in the sixth, when the Rays scored three runs after stringing together four two-out hits. For Baz, it's the 12th straight outing without a win -- he's gone 0-8 despite logging seven quality starts while posting a 4.02 ERA across 69.1 innings in that span. Overall, Baz sports a 4.04 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 135:52 K:BB across 26 starts (151.1 innings) this season. He'll aim for better results his next time out, tentatively lined up to come next weekend on the road against the A's.

  • Bryan Baker RP | TB

    Rays' Bryan Baker: Up to 37 saves

    Baker earned the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Orioles, allowing a run on one hit in the ninth inning.

    Colton Cowser led off the ninth with a homer off Baker, just the second run he's allowed in his last 19.2 innings, but the right-hander would rebound to retire the next three Orioles and notch his league-leading 37th save this season. Baker's ERA sits at 1.59 across 51 innings with a 0.88 WHIP and 56:16 K:BB.

  • Drey Jameson RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Back from injured list

    The Diamondbacks reinstated Jameson from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

    The right-hander has been sidelined just over a month due to hip inflammation, but he's ready to rejoin Arizona's bullpen after two minor-league rehab appearances. Jameson has made 11 appearances for the Diamondbacks this year and has a 4.67 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB across 17.1 innings.

  • Rays' Nick Martinez: Rebounds to blank Baltimore

    Martinez (13-4) earned the win Sunday over the Orioles, allowing just one hit over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    After giving up a season-high six runs across just 3.2 innings against Toronto his last time out, Martinez bounced back with an excellent performance against the Orioles, allowing just one hit en route to his 13th win. The 36-year-old Martinez lowered his ERA to 2.93 across 25 starts (147.2 innings) this season with a 1.10 WHIP and 87:22 K:BB. He's currently slated to face the Padres at home in his next outing.
