  • LAA Relief Pitcher #57

    Roansy Contreras tossed a scoreless ninth with a one-run lead for a save Sunday against the Mets.
    Contreras has a nice 1.75 ERA and a 12/2 K/BB ratio in 10 1/3 innings since moving to the bullpen last month. Hopefully, Ben Joyce will get most of the Angels’ save chances after his showing last night. Contreras, though, will be in the mix when Joyce is unavailable.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher #65

    Braves recalled RHP Hunter Stratton from Triple-A Gwinnett.
    Stratton is replacing Carlos Carrasco on the roster after the latter was designated for assignment. With Hurston Waldrep moving into the rotation, Stratton could fill a role in the Braves bullpen for the foreseeable future.
    What's next for Alonso after making Mets history?
    With Pete Alonso now alone atop the Mets' all-time home run leaderboard, Eric Samulski explores what could be next for the slugging first basemen and the only organization he's ever known.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #59
    Braves designated RHP Carlos Carrasco for assignment.
    This doesn’t come as a huge surprise with Carrasco having yet another subpar start on Wednesday night. With Hurston Waldrep pitching well, this move opens up a spot for him to remain in Atlanta’s rotation going forward. Sadly, this may be the end of the road for Carrasco.
  • CWS 3rd Baseman #29
    The Chicago Sun-Times’ Kyle Williams reports that, even with Miguel Vargas off the IL, the White Sox can “afford to let [Curtis] Mead play through growing pains.”
    With Miguel Vargas returning and playing first base, the White Sox are going to move Mead over to third base to allow him to play regularly. ‘‘We need to find out about Curtis, and we haven’t seen him [at third] at the big-league level, so part of that is to explore what the best alignment is going to be,’’ White Sox manager Will Venable said. Despite not yet producing at the big league level, Mead is a former top-50 overall prospect who’s a career .298 minor league hitter with an .878 OPS. He’s worth a look in deeper leagues now that we know he’s going to play most days.
  • TB Relief Pitcher #38
    Forrest Whitley threw six shutout innings for Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.
    Whitley struck out eight, walked one, and allowed only three hits. Since the Rays transitioned Whitley back into a starting pitcher, he has posted a 1.76 ERA in 30 2/3 innings with a 39/6 K/BB ratio. With a revamped arsenal and plenty of Triple-A success behind him, we may get a chance to see Whitley make MLB starts later this season.
  • BAL Left Fielder #17
    Colton Cowser (concussion) “will be out a little longer than hoped.”
    Cowser is eligible to return from the concussion injured list on Thursday, but it’s not going to happen. He’s still dealing with some soreness and is in concussion protocol.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #45
    Michael Kopech (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
    Kopech was put on the injured list back on July 1st with knee inflammation and then had surgery later in the month to repair a torn meniscus. The Dodgers wanted Blake Treinen to throw on back-to-back days before being activated, so if they take the same approach with Kopech, it might be a couple of weeks before the 29-year-old is back in the Dodgers’ bullpen.
  • NYY 1st Baseman #48
    Paul Goldschmidt was unavailable Wednesday against the Twins because of a knee injury suffered in Tuesday’s game.
    Goldschmidt banged his right knee on the ground after his left leg slipped out from under him while he was trying to catch a foul popup on Tuesday. The Yankees are calling the injury a sprain, but they’re hopeful he can avoid the injured list.
  • ATH Right Fielder #4
    Lawrence Butler hit a solo homer in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday.
    Butler took Drew Rasmussen deep for the only earned run that was allowed by Rasmussen in the contest. Butler has homered 16 times and stolen 17 bases, but the overall numbers have paled in comparison to his breakout 2024 campaign.
  • TB 3rd Baseman #13
    Junior Caminero drove in three runs while hitting a two-run homer in an 8-2 win for the Rays over the Athletics on Wednesday.
    Caminero also doubled. The 22-year-old is now up to 34 homers on the season, an impressive number for the wide majority of hitters, but particularly for a player that is playing his first full season in the majors. The approach leaves a bit to be desired, but the offensive upside competes with anyone even if he isn’t likely to be a stolen-base threat.
  • ATH Relief Pitcher #70
    J.T. Ginn allowed six runs — five earned — over just two innings in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday.
    Ginn was solid with nine strikeouts against the Orioles on Friday. He was not so solid Wednesday, giving up six hits with one walk and three strikeouts before exiting. The 26-year-old will try and find the swing-and-miss stuff he showed off against Baltimore when he faces the Twins next Wednesday.
