    Connor Wong went 3-for-4 with a home run in a loss to the White Sox on Sunday.
    Wong was the vast majority of the Red Sox offense on Sunday. The home run was his 13th of the season and he now has 48 RBI to go along with a solid .286/.338/.436 slash line. He has been a fine catcher for the Red Sox for both real-life and fantasy purposes.

    Paul Goldschmidt was held out of the Yankees’ lineup for a second consecutive game on Friday evening due to soreness in his right knee.
    The 37-year-old first baseman banged his knee on the ground after he slipped while trying to catch a foul pop during Wednesday’s game against the Twins. He’s still considered day-to-day. Cody Bellinger will cover first base on Friday night while Jose Caballero will draw a rare start in right field and bat ninth against Andre Pallante and the Cardinals.
    Padres put King back on IL, this time for knee
    James Schiano discusses San Diego Padres' Michael King, who has been placed back on the Injured List for knee inflammation, explaining why this is a cause for concern.
  • MIN Right Fielder #19
    Alan Roden (thumb) was scratched from the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Tigers.
    The 25-year-old outfielder aggravated his jammed left thumb when he slid (unsuccessfully) into home plate during the 10th inning of Thursday’s loss to the Tigers. He’s considered day-to-day.
  • HOU Shortstop #3
    Jeremy Peña was held out of the Astros’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Orioles due to illness.
    The 27-year-old shortstop tried to give it a go during warmups but wasn’t feeling up to it, so he’s being looked at by the Astros’ team doctors to determine exactly what’s going on there. Mauricio Dubon will start in his place and bat eighth for the Astros against Brandon Young and the O’s. Peña should be considered day-to-day.
  • SEA 1st Baseman #12
    Josh Naylor is not in the Mariners’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Mets.
    It appears to be just a routine night off with left-hander Sean Manaea toeing the slab for the Mets. Naylor has been terrific in his first 18 games with the M’s, slashing .292/.352/.523 with four homers, 10 RBI and a whopping 11 stolen bases in 72 plate appearances. Donovan Solano will start at first base and bat seventh for the M’s on Friday evening in New York.
  • CIN 2nd Baseman #9
    Matt McLain is not in the Reds’ starting lineup for Friday night’s contest against the Brewers.
    The Reds have already dropped the slumping second baseman back down in their lineup and now he’s out of the lineup entirely on Friday night. Gavin Lux will cover second base in his place and will bat fifth against Brewers’ right-hander Jacob Misiorowski on Friday evening in Cincinnati.
  • HOU Relief Pitcher #50
    Astros sent RHP Hector Neris outright to Triple-A Sugar Land.
    It remains to be seen if the 36-year-old hurler will actually accept the outright assignment or decide to peddle his wares on the open market instead. Neris has struggled to a 6.75 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and a 35/16 K/BB ratio over 26 2/3 innings in the big leagues this season.
  • CLE Starting Pitcher #37
    Guardians sent RHP Trevor Stephan outright to Triple-A Columbus.
    The 29-year-old hurler is in the process of working his way back from Tommy John surgery after missing the entire 2024 season. He has struggled over 15 minor league appearances this season, posting a 9.22 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and a 15/9 K/BB ratio over 13 2/3 innings. He’ll continue to build back up at Triple-A Columbus.
  • CLE Starting Pitcher #47
    John Means began a minor league rehab assignment at High-A Lake County on Friday.
    It’s the first official minor league rehab start for the 32-year-old southpaw as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery, though he did throw two innings in a bridge game at the team’s spring training complex on Saturday. Expect a slow and methodical progression through his rehab starts, with an eye toward potentially helping out the Guardians down the stretch.
  • LAD 2nd Baseman #24
    Dodgers claimed INF Buddy Kennedy off waivers from the Blue Jays.
    The 26-year-old infielder was designated for assignment earlier in the week by the Blue Jays after going 1-for-12 (.083) with three strikeouts in his limited action with the Jays. He’ll add extra infield depth in the upper minors for the Dodgers for the time being.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #62
    Dodgers designated LHP Julian Fernández for assignment.
    The Dodgers claimed Buddy Kennedy off of waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday and had to clear a spot on their 40-man roster in order to do so. Fernández, 29, made just one appearance at the big league level this season, giving up two runs in his two innings of work. He could pique another team’s interest on waivers.
