  • TEX Catcher #6

    Rangers acquired C Kevin Plawecki from the Padres for cash considerations.
    With Jonah Heim (wrist) landing on the injured list on Friday, the Rangers were in the market for some extra catching depth, so they snagged Plawecki in a minor league deal with the Padres. The well-traveled 32-year-old backstop can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.
  • CLE 3rd Baseman #11

    José Ramírez homered, walked three times and swiped his 30th bag of the year Tuesday in the Guardians’ 6-3 defeat of the Orioles.
    Ramírez notched his eight 20-homer season on Monday, and tonight he reached 30 steals for the third time. His career high of 41 from last season seems very much in danger. The homer tonight was also his 700th career extra-base hit. He has 276 homers, 42 triples and 382 doubles.
    Dodgers relievers to add following Scott's injury
    With the Dodgers "all but a lock" to add a reliever before the trade deadline following Tanner Scott's injury, Eric Samulski assesses which arms could be in line for precious save opportunities.
  • CLE Starting Pitcher #54
    Joey Cantillo threw five innings and allowed one run in a victory over the Orioles on Tuesday.
    Cantillo surrendered two hits, walked four and struck out five in moving to 2-0 with a 3.91 ERA. The control issues aren’t going anywhere, but that he’s struck out 23 in 17 2/3 innings over four starts since moving into the rotation is encouraging. He’ll face the Royals on Sunday.
  • CLE Relief Pitcher #48
    Emmanuel Clase tossed a scoreless ninth against the Orioles for his 22nd save Tuesday.
    The one hit against him was a fly to shallow center that should have been caught. Clase has gone six straight appearances without allowing a run, and his ERA is a season-low 2.80.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #63
    Brandon Young yielded three runs in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Guardians.
    Young allowed four hits, walked three and struck out three. He fell to 0-5 through seven starts, but since his ERA actually dropped from 7.52 to 7.34, that rates as progress, right? If he stays in the rotation, he’ll likely face the Blue Jays on Monday. He might be sent down first to make room for Zach Eflin, but even if that happens, something is probably going to open up after the trade deadline.
  • BAL 3rd Baseman #16
    Coby Mayo had a single and three walks Tuesday in the loss to the Guardians.
    The single was a pop fly to shallow center than Angel Martínez should have caught, but three walks is pretty good, especially when the rest of the Orioles lineup had three combined. Mayo was starting tonight for the second time since the All-Star break and fourth time this month. His usage would make a lot more sense if the Orioles were in contention, but given that they’re clearly planning to sell, it’s about time to make him a lineup fixture and just see what happens.
  • PIT 1st Baseman #2
    Spencer Horwitz went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI on Tuesday as the Pirates triumphed over the Tigers 8-5.
    Horwitz opened the scoring in the second inning with a two-run double off of Casey Mize. He then smacked a one-out double in the fourth inning and scored on an RBI single by Bryan Reynolds. The 27-year-old first baseman also reached on a wild pitch after striking out in the sixth and came around to score on another RBI knock by Reynolds. For the season, he’s now slashing .249/.318/.348 with a pair of homers and 19 RBI in 201 plate appearances on the season.
  • PIT Center Fielder #28
    Tommy Pham went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two RBI on Tuesday, helping to lead the Pirates to victory over the Tigers.
    Pham plated Bryan Reynolds with an RBI single in the fourth inning that extended the Pirates’ early lead to 5-0. He also tacked on a run-scoring double in the sixth inning that made it a 7-3 ballgame. While he has been hitting better over the past few weeks, the 37-year-old outfielder is slashing just .254/.320/.353 with four homers, 27 RBI and three stolen bases on the season.
  • PIT Relief Pitcher #51
    David Bednar worked a scoreless ninth inning against the Tigers on Tuesday, protecting a three-run advantage to tally his 15th save of the season.
    Bednar came on with an 8-5 lead to protect and made things interesting by issuing a leadoff walk to Trey Sweeney. After retiring Colt Keith on a fly ball he allowed a one-out single to Gleyber Torres that brought the tying run to the dish. Not to worry though as he rebounded to strike out Wenceel Perez and Riley Greene in succession to close it out for the Pirates. The 30-year-old stopper now holds a 2.31 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 48/10 K/BB ratio over 35 innings on the season while converting each of his first 15 save chances.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #23
    Mitch Keller logged a quality start in Tuesday’s victory over the Tigers, allowing three runs on six hits over his six innings of work.
    Keller racked up five strikeouts on the evening while issuing three free passes. The only blemish on his day came on a three-run blast off the bat of Jake Rogers in the fifth inning. Aside from that, he was terrific. The 29-year-old right-hander generated 10 swings and misses on 89 pitches on the night — five of them on his fastball — while registering a CSW of 22 percent. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he brings a 3.53 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 97/30 K/BB ratio (125 innings) into Monday’s matchup against the Giants in San Francisco.
  • DET Catcher #34
    Jake Rogers slugged a three-run homer on Tuesday night, but it wasn’t enough to power the Tigers to victory over the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
    Rogers finally broke through and got the Tigers on the board with a 407-foot (101.2 mph EV) three-run shot off of Mitch Keller that pulled his club to within two runs at 5-3 in the fifth inning. That would be as close as they would get. The 30-year-old backstop finished the night 1-for-3 and is now hitting .167/.282/.306 with two homers and 11 RBI on the season.
