  • SD 2nd Baseman #4

    Luis Arraez went 3-for-5 and drove in run in a loss to the Giants on Saturday.
    Arraez singled for all three knocks. One of those hits drove in a run off Logan Webb to make it a 4-3 game, but the Padres would get no closer. The .313 average for Arraez is a bit lower than his .322 career mark, but there aren’t any batters more likely to help in the average category than Arraez across the sport.
  • ATL 2nd Baseman #0

    Braves claimed INF Brett Wisely off of waivers from the Giants and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.
    Wisely had been designated for assignment on Monday. The 26-year-old infielder slashed a disappointing .208/.269/.354 with one homer, 10 RBI and one swipe in 54 plate appearances with the Giants this season. He’ll add infield depth for the Braves.
    Fantasy fallout of Alvarez's ankle injury
    Eric Samulski breaks down the fantasy implications of Yordan Alvarez suffering a "significant" ankle sprain and the expectation that he will miss the remainder of the regular season.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #74
    Angels’ closer Kenley Jansen told reporters on Thursday that he will not be traveling with the team for their weekend series against the Rockies in Colorado.
    Jansen has routinely skipped series in Colorado due to his heart condition in recent years and with the Angels having nothing to play for at this stage of the season there’s no reason for him to risk it by going there. Look for Luis Garcia to potentially fill in should the Angels have a lead to protect in the ninth inning over the weekend.
  • MIA Shortstop #9
    Xavier Edwards (wrist) missed his fifth consecutive game on Thursday afternoon against the Rockies.
    The good news is that Edwards underwent imaging on his injured wrist on Wednesday that didn’t show any structural damage. He’s still considered day-to-day, but it sounds like the Marlins are optimistic that he’ll be able to rejoin the lineup at some point over the weekend.
  • LAD 2nd Baseman #25
    Tommy Edman is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s tilt against the Giants.
    It’s the third time in the Dodgers’ last six games that Edman has found himself on the bench. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at second base and will bat eighth for the Dodgers on Thursday evening against Logan Webb and the Giants.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #66
    Angels recalled LHP Sam Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake.
    The 23-year-old southpaw will get another opportunity with the Angels now that José Soriano (forearm) landed on the 15-day injured list. What’s not immediately clear is whether Aldegheri will work out of the Halos’ bullpen or if he’ll fill in the next time Soriano’s spot comes around in the rotation on Tuesday against the Royals. Aldegheri holds a 3.78 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 113/60 K/BB ratio over 133 1/3 innings over 24 starts between Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake on the season.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #59
    Angels placed RHP José Soriano on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm contusion.
    Soriano was struck by a 107-mph line drive during Wednesday’s start against the Brewers. Though X-rays came back negative for any fractures, he’s still dealing with a contusion and wasn’t going to be able to make his next scheduled start, so he’ll finish the year on the injured list. The 26-year-old wraps his 2025 campaign with a 10-11 record, 4.26 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 152/78 K/BB ratio over 169 innings in 31 starts.
  • TB Starting Pitcher #11
    Shane Baz allowed only two hits over five innings in the Rays’ 4-0 shutout of the Blue Jays on Thursday.
    Baz struck out four and walked one while throwing just 74 pitches. With the Rays trying to curb his workload some, he’s topped out at 83 pitches in four starts this month. After Baz left, Griffin Jax, Kevin Kelly, Garrett Cleavinger and Bryan Baker pitched scoreless frames to finish the shutout. Baz moved to 10-12 with a 4.99 ERA. He’s due for one final start next week against the Orioles.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #40
    Chris Bassitt surrendered three runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a loss to the Rays.
    Bassitt gave up eight hits and most of them were deserved, but two bloop singles in a three-batter span in the second hurt badly in the three-run inning. It’s the first time in six starts that he’s been charged with more than two runs, and he still hasn’t given up more than three since July 28. Nevertheless, he’s been stuck on 11 wins for 10 starts now. He’ll face the Red Sox next week.
  • TB Center Fielder #14
    Chandler Simpson went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs against the Blue Jays on Thursday.
    Simpson drove in multiple runs for the second time in 103 career games; he also had two RBI on Aug. 24. His average is back up to .301 now, with his OPS sitting at .685. He has a chance to become the first player since Ben Revere in 2014 to finish with a .300 average and a sub-.700 OPS over at least 300 plate appearances. Revere also did it in 2013. Before that, the last person to do it was Willie Wilson in 1981 (and Wilson, who batted .303, actually had a .700 OPS after rounding up).
  • TB Shortstop #7
    Carson Williams went 2-for-4 and hit his fourth homer Thursday versus the Blue Jays.
    Williams has performed pretty much as expected offensively through 24 games, hitting .186/.230/.400 over 75 plate appearances. At least according to the metrics, his defense at shortstop hasn’t been quite as strong as expected, but one imagines that will get better. The Rays will probably be content to let him battle it out with Taylor Walls for the shortstop job next spring.
