  • BOS Starting Pitcher

    The Red Sox are planning to call up Richard Fitts for Sunday’s game against the White Sox.
    He’ll likely start or serve as a bulk guy Sunday, which suggests Brayan Bello is getting pushed back. Fitts, a product of the Alex Verdugo trade with the Yankees, is 9-5 with a 4.17 ERA and a 111/37 K/BB in 116 2/3 innings for Triple-A Worcester.
  • BOS Center Fielder #16

    Jarren Duran is on the bench for Tuesday’s game against the Phillies and left-hander Christopher Sánchez.
    It’s the second straight time Duran has taken a seat against a lefty starter. He’s can’t complain much, given that he’s hit .209/.241/.324 versus southpaws this season. Still, we don’t see the point of making room for Masataka Yoshida, who also hasn’t been very good against southpaws as a major leaguer, and weakening the defense by putting Duran on the bench.
    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.
  • CIN Right Fielder #30
    Will Benson is on the bench for a sixth straight game Tuesday against the Nationals.
    Benson had started the previous nine games in a row, but his playing time has dried up with Jake Fraley back. If the Reds had another first base option, they could sit Spencer Steer against some righties to make room for Benson in the lineup. However, that’s not really possible unless maybe Gavin Lux gets a crash course at the position.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher
    Pirates signed first-round pick Seth Hernandez to a contract with a $7.25 million bonus.
    Hernandez, the first high school pitcher selected this year, takes just below the slot value of $7.56 million as the No. 6 pick. He was committed to Vanderbilt, but there was never any real chance that he’d get there.
  • MIN Catcher #64
    Twins claimed C Jhonny Pereda off waivers from the Athletics and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul.
    The Twins feel they’re upgrading their third catcher spot here with Pereda taking the place of Jair Camargo on the 40-man. They’ll likely try hard to move Christian Vazquez if they decide to sell prior to the deadline, so there’s the chance Pereda will finish the year as Ryan Jeffers’ backup. The 29-year-old has hit .203/.267/.228 in 86 major league plate appearances with the Marlins and A’s, but his Triple-A line of .296/.387/.412 over 234 games is far more impressive.
  • MIN Catcher #77
    Twins designated C Jair Camargo for assignment.
    Camargo, who got into five games for the Twins last season, had spent all year at Triple-A St. Paul and hit .212/.258/.319 in 31 games. This is his first time on waivers, so he’ll have to stay with the club if he clears.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #45
    Nationals selected the contract of LHP Konnor Pilkington from Triple-A Rochester.
    Pilkington, who had a 3.75 ERA in 11 starts and five relief appearances for the Guardians in 2022 and ’23, is back in the majors for the first time in two years. He had a 2.59 ERA in three starts and 33 relief appearances for Rochester, striking out 50 and walking 27 in 41 2/3 innings. Expect him to pitch in middle relief.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #71
    Nationals optioned RHP Mason Thompson to Triple-A Rochester.
    Thompson had given up six runs and walked six in four innings since returning from Tommy John surgery earlier this month. The Nats will give him some more minor league time and hope he’s throwing better when he’ll probably be needed next month.
  • WSH Right Fielder #3
    Nationals transferred OF Dylan Crews from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
    No setback for Crews. He’s already missed 60 days, so the Nats are opening up his 40-man roster spot for Konnor Pilkington, delaying any difficult decisions about who to drop. Crews, coming back from an oblique strain, is expected to begin a rehab assignment before the end of the week.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    White Sox activated RHP Davis Martin from the 15-day injured list.
    Martin, out since June 12 with a forearm strain, will rejoin the White Sox rotation tonight against the Rays. He allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings in his two rehab starts.
  • CWS Relief Pitcher #66
    White Sox optioned RHP Wikelman González to Triple-A Charlotte.
    González pitched one scoreless inning in his second stint with the White Sox. He still needs to cut down on the walks before he’ll be taken seriously as a bullpen option; he’s issued 34 in 40 2/3 innings in the minors this season.
