  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Out multiple days

    Hoskins will be out at least a few days with a thumb injury although he did not suffer a fracture, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    He got jammed while tagging out Eric Wagaman at first base in the fourth inning and remained in the game for the rest of the frame before being replaced by Jake Bauers. Hoskins admitted that he was in quite a bit of pain after the game and wouldn't have been able to swing a bat again Saturday, so it's not clear if he'll be able to return early next week.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exits after taking elbow to face

    Torres left Saturday's game against the Guardians after taking an elbow to the face while sliding into second base, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Evan Woodbery of MLive.com speculates that Torres was being evaluated for a concussion after being down in the dirt for a while after Brayan Rocchio caught him with an elbow while Torres was sliding short of second base. Trey Sweeney entered the game at shortstop while Javier Baez shifted to second base.

  • Nationals' Shinnosuke Ogasawara: Making big-league debut Sunday

    Ogasawara (oblique) will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Red Sox, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    There is no confirmation on whether Ogasawara will start Sunday's game, but considering the Nationals don't have a confirmed starter for that game and Ogasawara threw four innings in his most recent rehab start at High-A, he will likely be the starter or bulk pitcher Sunday. Ogasawara, a 27-year-old lefty from Japan, signed a two-year, $3.5 million deal with the Nationals this year and has a 4.80 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 15 innings across three starts at Triple-A.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Optioned to Triple-A

    Foscue was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    He was up for a couple weeks while Wyatt Langford (oblique) was on the shelf, but Foscue has only logged six MLB at-bats this season, going 1-for-6 with a double. He'll serve as organizational depth at Triple-A, where the 26-year-old is hitting .259 with 10 homers in 53 games.

  • Mason Black RP | SF

    Giants' Mason Black: Demoted to Sacramento

    The Giants optioned Black to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

    Black ran into some struggles on the mound during his season debut Friday, giving up five runs (three earned) while striking out five batters in four innings out of the bullpen. He'll now return to the minor leagues in favor of Tristan Beck, who will provide the Giants with an additional fresh bullpen arm.

  • Wyatt Langford LF | TEX

    Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Back in action

    Langford (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the Padres.

    Langford missed less than two weeks with the oblique injury and is batting sixth in his return. He hit .224/.286/.342 with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate in 18 June games and has 13 homers and 11 steals in 67 games this season.

  • Tristan Beck RP | SF

    Giants' Tristan Beck: Back in majors

    The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

    Since being sent down to Triple-A on June 18, Beck has given up two unearned runs over 6.1 innings while striking out nine batters. He'll rejoin the big club Saturday to provide San Francisco with a fresh bullpen arm, replacing Mason Black.

  • Giants' Sergio Alcantara: Designated for assignment

    The Giants designated Alcantara for assignment Saturday.

    Alcantara went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Friday in his first MLB game since 2022, but his time with the Giants will be short-lived now that Matt Chapman (hand) is back from the IL. Alcantara owns a .571 OPS through 256 plate appearances in Triple-A and will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Officially activated

    The Giants reinstated Chapman (hand) from the injured list Saturday.

    After going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during a tune-up game at Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Chapman will return to the Giants' lineup Saturday as the cleanup hitter. Prior to getting injured, the 32-year-old third baseman had gone 15-for-38 with three homers, five RBI and seven runs scored in his last 11 games.

  • Ben Casparius RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Headed back to bullpen

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Casparius will probably be returning to the bullpen Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    Casparius has been working either as a primary pitcher behind an opener or as a traditional starter since mid-June, but he's struggled of late, posting a 9.77 ERA with a 1.79 WHIP over his past four outings spanning 15.2 frames. He yielded six runs over three innings against the Astros on Friday, which may have been the tipping point in terms of the Dodgers' decision to move him back to the bullpen. However, that transition may have been coming regardless of Casparius' results, as the team's decimated rotation is beginning to get healthy -- Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is expected to return next week, and Blake Snell (shoulder) is nearing a rehab assignment. Los Angeles also has Emmet Sheehan as starting pitching depth in the minors, and he could be called up to start against the Astros on Sunday.
