    Justin Anderson will serve as the 27th player Tuesday for the White Sox during their doubleheader against the Nationals.
    Anderson will be available for both games of the doubleheader against the Nats. If the White Sox want to keep the 31-year-old beyond that game, they’ll need to make another roster move.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #51

    Tyler Mahle (shoulder) is expected to resume throwing at some point next week according to Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy.
    Mahle has been shut down since mid-June due to soreness in his right shoulder. He’s not eligible to return from the injured list until mid-August, so the Rangers will take a cautious approach as they build him back up.
    Kim should settle in as Rays starting shortstop
    Ha-Seong Kim returned to the Tampa Bay Rays this week after missing the first half of the season with a shoulder injury, and Eric Samulski examines Kim's fantasy value down the stretch.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #22
    Rangers’ skipper Bruce Bochy told reporters on Thursday that Jon Gray (wrist) will make his next minor league rehab start on Sunday.
    Gray threw two innings at Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday and it sounds like he’ll be making his next start on short rest as the Rangers hope to expedite his timeline. The expectation is still that the 33-year-old hurler will return to the team’s starting rotation when he’s healthy enough to do so — which could happen before the end of the month if he avoids any setbacks.
  • TEX Left Fielder #4
    Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy told reporters on Thursday that Joc Pederson (hand) is still two or three weeks away from taking batting practice.
    When the 33-year-old slugger fractured his hand in late May, the estimate had been that he could be ready to return before the end of July. That’s most definitely not going to happen if he’s still weeks away from even taking batting practice. Once he is finally cleared, he’s going to need plenty of at-bats on a minor league rehab assignment before he’s an option to help the Rangers. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until mid-August at the earliest.
  • BAL 2nd Baseman #11
    Jordan Westburg homered and drove in three runs as the Orioles triumphed over the Mets 7-3 to take both games of Thursday’s doubleheader.
    Westburg gave the Orioles their first lead of the game with a two-out, 413-foot two-run blast off of Brandon Waddell that made it a 3-2 ballgame in the third inning. The 26-year-old infielder also plated a run with a fielder’s choice in the sixth inning and came around to score on a ground ball off the bat of Ramon Laureano. He finished the afternoon 1-for-5 and is now hitting .248/.306/.484 with 10 homers, 20 RBI and one stolen base through his first 170 plate appearances on the season.
  • BAL Catcher #70
    Alex Jackson went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored and an RBI as the Orioles defeated the Mets in the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader.
    The 29-year-old backstop got the Orioles on the board with an RBI double off of Brandon Waddell in the second inning. He then rode home on Jordan Westburg’s two-run blast. Jackson also started a rally with a leadoff double off of Justin Hagenman in the sixth inning and scored on a fielder’s choice off the bat of Westburg. It was an impressive showing from the veteran backstop in his first game with the Orioles this season.
  • BAL Shortstop #2
    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored as the Orioles topped the Mets in the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader.
    Henderson doubled off of Brandon Waddell in the opening inning but wound up getting stranded at third base. He then started a rally in the fifth inning with a one-out single and eventually scored the go-ahead run on an RBI knock off the bat of Colton Cowser. With his three-hit attack, the 24-year-old infielder is now hitting .277/.343/.451 to go with 11 homers, 31 RBI and 10 stolen bases on the season.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #19
    Tomoyuki Sugano logged a quality start in Thursday’s victory over the Mets, surrendering three runs on just four hits over his six frames.
    Sugano also walked three batters in the ballgame while recording a pair of strikeouts. The Mets scratched out a pair of runs against him in the opening inning and had him on the ropes, but the crafty right-hander allowed just one additional run — an RBI single to Brett Baty in the fourth inning — the rest of the way. He generated 11 whiffs on 99 pitches on the afternoon, registering a CSW of 24 percent. Sugano finishes the first half with a 7-5 record, 4.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 59/22 K/BB ratio over 99 1/3 innings through his first 18 starts with the Orioles.
  • NYM Left Fielder #9
    Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles, run scored and a stolen base on Thursday as the Mets dropped the second half of their doubleheader against the Orioles.
    Nimmo led off the game with a single off of Tomoyuki Sugano and raced around to score the first run on an RBI ground out off the bat of Juan Soto. The 32-year-old outfielder also smacked a one-out single in the fifth inning and swiped second base before being stranded there. On the season, he’s now hitting .260/.319/.470 with 18 homers, 53 RBI and 10 stolen bases in what has been a very productive first half.
  • NYM Relief Pitcher #82
    Brandon Waddell functioned as an opener for the Mets in the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader against the Orioles, giving up three runs over three innings.
    The 31-year-old southpaw allowed four hits on the afternoon while walking one and striking out a pair. All of the damage done against him came in the second inning as Alex Jackson smacked an RBI double and rode home on Jordan Westburg’s two-run blast. Waddell got 10 swings and misses on 57 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 30 percent. Since he’s unlikely to be available the rest of the weekend, it wouldn’t be surprised to see him swapped out for a fresh arm on Friday.
  • CIN Center Fielder #12
    Austin Hays went 2-for-3 and drove in three runs on Thursday, leading the Reds to a 6-0 victory over the visiting Marlins.
    Hays got the Reds on the board first in this one with a two-out RBI single off of Cal Quantrill in the opening inning that plated Elly De La Cruz from second base. He then capped off the scoring with a two-run single that chased Quantrill in the sixth inning. Hays also drew a walk, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. The 30-year-old outfielder has done a nice job in his limited action this season, hitting .277/.318/.524 with eight homers and 35 RBI in 178 plate appearances.
