  • LAA Shortstop #2

    Luis Rengifo (wrist) is not in the Angels’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Mets.
    The good news is that the versatile 27-year-old will be active for the game and available off the bench, so he won’t be landing on the injured list — as least as of yet. Michael Stefanic will start in his place at second base and will bat ninth against David Peterson and the Mets on Saturday evening in Los Angeles.
  • CLE Center Fielder #76

    Guardians selected the contract of OF George Valera from Triple-A Columbus.
    Valera, who returned from a ruptured patella tendon in July, will make his major league debut after hitting .255/.346/.457 with three homers in 28 games for Columbus. He’ll probably see a fair amount of time against righties as the Guardians try to figure out whether he should be in their plans for 2026. It could mean fewer at-bats for Daniel Schneeman and Angel Martínez.
    Schwarber enjoying a later career renaissance
    James Schiano discusses Kyle Schwarber's 4-home-run game and whether he has done enough to challenge Shohei Ohtani for NL MVP.
  • CLE Relief Pitcher #61
    Guardians recalled RHP Zak Kent from Triple-A Columbus.
    Kent has a 6.14 ERA in 7 1/3 innings out of the Guardians pen this season. He’ll be stationed there once again now.
  • CLE 1st Baseman #43
    Guardians recalled 1B/OF Jhonkensy Noel from Triple-A Columbus.
    Noel has hit just .140/.162/.215 in 111 major league plate appearances this season, and he wasn’t hot in Triple-A of late. The Guardians will likely turn to him against lefties, but he’ll probably be on the bench versus most right-handers.
  • CLE Shortstop #7
    Guardians optioned INF Will Wilson to Triple-A Columbus.
    Wilson went 3-for-6 during his week in the majors, but the Guardians decided they no longer needed him as infield insurance. Today’s moves suggests that Angel Martínez will see more infield time than outfield time this month.
  • CIN 3rd Baseman #84
    Reds selected the contract of 3B Sal Stewart from Triple-A Louisville.
    The 21-year-old Stewart will make his major league debut after hitting .309/.383/.524 with 20 homers and 17 steals between Double- and Triple-A. He ought to get a chance to play regularly, though that will ultimately be up to Terry Francona. Matt McLain, Gavin Lux, Miguel Andujar and Ke’Bryan Hayes could all lose some at-bats while Stewart probably dabbles at second and third and serves as a DH.
  • CIN Relief Pitcher #67
    Reds recalled RHP Yosver Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville.
    Zulueta will rejoin the pen. He has allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings for the Reds this season.
  • MIA Relief Pitcher #70
    Kevin Barral of Fish on First reports that the Marlins plan to promote right-hander Michael Petersen from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
    Petersen was acquired from the Braves for cash considerations back in mid-July. Since the trade, the 31-year-old hurler has posted a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 19/5 K/BB ratio over 12 innings of work. He’ll add depth in the middle innings for the Marlins.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #0
    Phillies signed RHP Walker Buehler to a minor league contract.
    The 31-year-old hurler will report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The Phillies seem to be hopeful that he’ll be able to work out his issues there before joining the bullpen later in the season and sticking through the postseason where he has had an aptitude for dominance in the past.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #52
    Mike Clevinger is expected to join the White Sox when rosters expand for September on Monday.
    While Clevinger has worked as a starter at times — both with the White Sox and Triple-A Charlotte — he’s expected to pitch out of the bullpen this time around. The 34-year-old hurler holds a miserable 7.94 ERA, 2.29 WHIP and a 3/8 K/BB ratio over 5 2/3 innings with the White Sox this season. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.
  • MIL 2nd Baseman #17
    Brewers signed INF Luis Urías to a minor league contract.
    The 28-year-old infielder was released by the Athletics on Thursday. He returns to the place where he had the most success in his career — crushing 23 homers and driving in 75 runs for the Brewers during the 2022 season. He’ll report to Triple-A Nashville for the time being.
