    Marcus Lee Sang made his Triple-A debut Saturday and went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored.
    The 23-year-old Lee Sang was hitting .239/.297/.397 in Double-A, so he hasn’t really advanced his cause as a prospect this season. He has a little pop and is a quality defender, so there’s still a chance for him, more likely as a bench player than as a regular.

    Braves signed RHP Anderson Pilar to a minor league contract.
    You might remember Pilar with the Braves as a Rule 5 pick this spring. He gave up nine runs in 5 2/3 innings and then was returned to the Marlins in mid-March. Miami, though, released him earlier this week, and now the Braves can take another look at him without being forced to roster him. The 27-year-old had a 4.26 ERA and a 50/13 K/BB in 44 1/3 innings for Triple-A Jacksonville this season.
    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.
  • TOR Right Fielder #4
    George Springer has been cleared to resume playing and could serve as a DH for Triple-A Buffalo as soon as Thursday.
    Springer has been on the seven-day concussion IL since Aug. 1. He probably won’t play more than a game or two in the minors if he’s feeling good, so it’s possible he’ll be activated this weekend.
  • HOU Relief Pitcher #71
    Josh Hader is seeking a second opinion on his shoulder strain and won’t be back once his 15 days are up, manager Joe Espada said.
    Espada wouldn’t reveal what the first opinion revealed, but it probably wasn’t good news. Bryan Abreu just might be a top-10 fantasy closer for the rest of the year.
  • PIT Catcher #5
    Endy Rodríguez underwent ulnar nerve transposition surgery on Tuesday and will miss the rest of the season.
    It’s basically a second straight lost year for Rodríguez, who underwent Tommy John surgery last summer. He played in just 18 games for the Pirates, hitting .173/.246/.250 in 57 plate appearances. The good news for him is that Joey Bart has regressed and Henry Davis still hasn’t done anything to establish himself. Unless the Pirates target an upgrade from the current group, Rodríguez should have a chance to compete for the starting job next spring.
  • LAA Shortstop #13
    Angels sent INF Scott Kingery outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.
    The 31-year-old Kingery went unclaimed on waivers after hitting .256/.317/.424 in 44 Triple-A games and going 4-for-25 in 14 appearances with the Angels.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #58
    Mets activated RHP Paul Blackburn from the 15-day injured list.
    Blackburn, back from a shoulder impingement, just posted a 2.42 ERA in 22 1/3 innings over four starts for Syracuse, but the Mets are planning on sticking him in middle relief instead of giving him Frankie Montas’s rotation spot. Blackburn has a 7.71 ERA in four starts and two relief appearances in the majors this season.
  • NYM Relief Pitcher #51
    Mets optioned RHP Justin Hagenman to Triple-A Syracuse.
    Hagenman threw four innings and got a save in Tuesday’s rout of the Braves, so he wasn’t going to be available for at least a couple of days. He has a 3.26 ERA in 19 1/3 innings for the Mets this season.
  • SEA Right Fielder #8
    Dominic Canzone is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s tilt against the Orioles.
    Canzone will sit against southpaw Trevor Rogers. Dylan Moore is playing right field and hitting ninth. Cole Young also gets the day off with Jorge Polanco getting the start at second base and Mitch Garver the designated hitter.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #27
    Aaron Nola (rib, ankle) will join the Phillies over the weekend before their series against the Nationals.
    The Phillies have yet to name a starter for Sunday’s game against Washington. Nola threw 5 2/3 innings while striking out 11 in a rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. You get where this is going. It’s not a lock that Nola makes that start, but all signs point to him making his return to the Philadelphia rotation this weekend.
  • HOU Starting Pitcher #61
    Astros optioned LHP Colton Gordon to Triple-A Sugar Land.
    Gordon worked two ineffective innings in the blowout loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday while allowing five runs; four of those earned. Jordan Weems will take his spot in the bullpen.
