  • Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Sitting again Saturday

    Song isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

    Song went 2-for-18 across his final six games before the All-Star break, and he'll now miss out on the starting nine for a second consecutive game to begin the second half. Manny Machado will get another start at third base as a result, while Miguel Andujar works as the DH.

  • Emiliano Teodo RP | TEX

    Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Demoted to Round Rock

    Texas optioned Teodo to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    After making just one appearance for the Rangers, Teodo's big-league stint ends. The 25-year-old went 1.2 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one Friday against Atlanta. Texas recalled Jose Corniell to take Teodo's spot on the active roster.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: On bench Saturday

    Gurriel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis.

    Gurriel went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Friday's loss, and he'll now retreat to the bench to begin Saturday's game. Gabriel Moreno will replace him as Arizona's designated hitter, giving James McCann a start at catcher.

  • Gavin Collyer RP | TEX

    Rangers' Gavin Collyer: Sent to Round Rock

    Texas optioned Collyer to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    After a rocky appearance Friday, Collyer will make his way back to Triple-A having made five appearances during his latest stint with the big-league club. The 25-year-old allowed four runs on two hits, two walks and one hit batsman while striking out one in one inning of work on Friday against Atlanta. The Rangers activated Jakob Junis from the 15-day injured list to replace Collyer on the active roster.

  • Jeff Criswell RP | COL

    Rockies' Jeff Criswell: Lands on injured list

    The Rockies placed Criswell on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder strain.

    Criswell gave up two earned runs in two innings Friday in what was his first appearance since returning to the majors last Saturday, but the Rockies will now be without his services until at least Aug. 2. His roster spot will be filled by Tomoyuki Sugano (back), who was reinstated from the injured list to start Saturday's game against the Reds.

  • Jose Corniell RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jose Corniell: Recalled to Texas

    The Rangers recalled Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    After making just one prior appearance with the big-league club this season back on June 23, Corniell is back with Texas. With Round Rock, the 23-year-old posted a 6.37 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 27:16 K:BB in 35.1 innings. The Rangers optioned Emiliano Teodo to make room for Corniell on the active roster.

  • Jakob Junis RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jakob Junis: Activated from IL

    The Rangers activated Junis (hip) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

    Junis will make his way back after recently being placed on the injured list July 4. Before missing time, the 33-year-old posted a 2.80 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB through 35.1 innings. To make room for Junis on the active roster, Texas optioned Gavin Collyer to Triple-A.

  • Rockies' Tomoyuki Sugano: Activated ahead of start

    The Rockies reinstated Sugano (back) from the injured list ahead of his start Saturday against the Reds.

    Sugano never made any rehab starts in the minors after landing on the injured list July 4 with back spasms, so he could be working under a pitch-count restriction while he makes his return to the rotation Saturday. The 36-year-old righty has accumulated a 4.80 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 84.1 innings this season, and he'll be tasked with keeping quiet a Cincinnati offense that's posted a .770 OPS since the beginning of the month. Jeff Criswell (shoulder) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Cleared to start Tuesday

    Misiorowski (arm) will start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 MIlwaukee reports.

    Misiorowski missed his final turn through the rotation prior to the All-Star break due to arm fatigue, but after getting an opportunity to rest during the intermission and for Milwaukee's weekend series against Miami, he's been officially cleared to return to the rotation. The 24-year-old flamethrower is firmly in contention for the National League Cy Young Award after posting a 1.62 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 167:27 K:BB through his first 18 starts, but Milwaukee could continue to limit his workload for the rest of the season as he trends toward surpassing his career-high innings total by a wide margin.

  • Astros' LaMonte Wade: Riding pine against lefty

    Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    With southpaw Trevor Rogers on the hill for Baltimore on Saturday, Wade will be on the bench for Houston. The right-handed-hitting Zach Dezenzo will take over in left field for Wade and bat eighth for the Astros.
