    Diamondbacks selected the contracts of 2B Tim Tawa and RHP Joe Elbis from Triple-A Reno.
    The pair will be shielded from selection in next month’s Rule 5 Draft. Tawa put up some solid numbers last year in the upper minors, batting .279/.349/.519 with 31 homers and 14 steals in 613 plate appearances between Double-A Amarillo and Triple-A Reno.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher #49

    Braves transferred LHP Aaron Bummer to the 60-day injured list.
    Nothing has changed in the prognosis for the 31-year-old southpaw — who will miss the reset of the season with inflammation in his pitching shoulder — this was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the addition of Brett Wisely on Thursday.
    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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
