    White Sox's Tim Elko: Out eight months after ACL surgery

    Elko is expected to be sidelined for eight months following surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Elko was diagnosed with a right knee sprain July 11 and was sidelined for three-plus weeks. He did not miss any additional time after that during the 2025 season, but a recent medical exam evidently revealed the need for surgery. With Elko slated to be out until around midseason of next year, he'll likely open the campaign on the 60-day injured list.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Go-ahead homer in Game 4 win

    Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series.

    With the Blue Jays down 1-0 in the top of the third inning and Nathan Lukes standing on first, Guerrero hit a 395-foot shot off Shohei Ohtani to give Toronto a lead that it wouldn't relinquish for the rest of the game. The 26-year-old slugger has now belted seven home runs in the postseason and sports a monstrous 1.306 OPS through 74 plate appearances.

    Blue Jays' Ty France: Added to roster for World Series

    France (oblique) is on the Blue Jays' World Series roster.

    France has been sidelined since the last week of the regular season with a left oblique strain, but he's recovered from that injury and the Blue Jays have elected to include him on their roster for the Fall Classic. The 31-year-old is likely to be used in a reserve role.

    Angels' Logan Davidson: Off 40-man roster

    Davidson cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Davidson spent most of his time in Triple-A this season, slashing .252/.387/.399 with 10 homers, 51 RBI, 60 runs and seven steals across 94 minor-league games. Now that he no longer has a place on the Angels' 40-man roster, he'll likely need to impress during spring training to reclaim a spot.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Named ALCS MVP

    Guerrero was named the Most Valuable Player of the American League Championship Series following Monday's 4-3 victory in Game 7 against the Mariners.

This effort helped his club avoid a three-game deficit in the series, setting the stage for a comeback victory in Game 7. Guerrero would finish the ALCS 10-for-26 with three solo home runs, three doubles, four walks and six runs scored, helping Toronto to the World Series for the first time since 1993.

  • Ben Rice 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Viewed as primary first baseman

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that he views Rice as the team's primary first baseman next season, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Rice split time between designated hitter (48 starts), first base (46 starts) and catcher (26 starts) in 2025, slashing .255/.337/.499 with 26 home runs across 530 regular-season plate appearances. Boone didn't rule out Rice serving as the team's No. 2 or No. 3 catcher in 2026, but most of the 26-year-old's playing time is expected to come at first base.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Smacks fifth postseason homer

    Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Game 4 of the ALCS on Thursday against the Mariners.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Four hits in Game 3 rout

    Guerrero went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional runs scored and a walk during Wednesday's 13-4 win against Seattle in Game 3 of the ALCS.

    After collecting nine hits against the Yankees in the ALDS, Guerrero had gone hitless through Toronto's first two games against the Mariners. He returned to form with his performance Wednesday, which was highlighted by a 406-foot blast against George Kirby in the fifth inning. The first baseman has been one of the most prolific hitters in the postseason this year, slashing .464/.515/.964 with four homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored through seven games.
