Young went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 4-3, extra-inning win over the Giants on Saturday.

Logan Webb dominated Seattle for six scoreless innings, giving up only one hit (a single by Young). However, the Giants' ace gifted the Mariners an opportunity when he walked a batter and hit another in the seventh frame, and Young made him pay with a game-tying, two-out, three-run blast to right-center field. It was the second baseman's 12th long ball of the season and pushed him into the Seattle lead with 46 runs batted in. The RBI total also ranks fifth among MLB second basemen.

Massey went 3-for-5 with two RBI with one run scored while striking out once during the Royals' 7-6 extra-inning win over the Padres on Friday.

Massey gave Kansas City the lead with an RBI single that scored Vinnie Pasquantino in the eighth inning, and he plated Pasquantino in the 10th as well. The 28-year-old has now recorded at least one hit in seven of his last eight games. On the season, Massey has slashed .267/.305/.427 with seven homers and 33 RBI in 251 plate appearances.

Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 12-4 loss to the White Sox.

The Blue Jays' offense couldn't match the White Sox in Friday's series opener, but Urias contributed offensively with a solo homer to left field in the fourth inning. It was the second long ball of the season for Urias, with his first taking place in his 2026 debut against the Astros on June 23. He'll continue to operate in a depth role in the infield, and his stint on the 26-man roster could be extended given that Lenyn Sosa (wrist) suffered a recent setback in his rehab program.

Donovan (groin) will shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Donovan was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment Wednesday in the Arizona Complex League. He'll take the next step in his recovery by playing in Triple-A, but given that he's been sidelined for nearly two months, Donovan will likely need to play in several more minor-league games before returning to the majors.

Sosa (wrist) resumed hitting in the batting cages earlier this week after experiencing a setback in his rehab program, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Sosa was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment in late June, but he was pulled from playing after his right wrist injury flared up. He's been cleared to resume baseball activities, but he'll likely need to go on another assignment before being cleared to return to the majors. Prior to his injury, Sosa posted a .490 OPS with one home run and nine RBI across 117 major-league plate appearances.

Interim manager Chad Tracy said Friday that Mayer (forearm) remains shut down from swinging a bat and will undergo new imaging next week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Mayer hasn't played since June 25 due to a stress reaction in his forearm. "[Isiah Kiner-Falefa] and [Mayer] are due for X-rays and to see a hand specialist next week, probably Monday or Tuesday," Tracy said. "We'll have a better idea of how they're healing once they do that." Anthony Seigler, Tsung-Che Cheng, Andruw Monasterio and Romy Gonzalez should continue to see increased playing time while both infielders are out.

Interim Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said Friday that Kiner-Falefa (forearm) remains shut down from swinging a bat and will undergo new imaging next week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Kiner-Falefa hasn't played since June 18 due to a stress reaction in his left forearm. "IKF and [Marcelo Mayer] are due for X-rays and to see a hand specialist next week, probably Monday or Tuesday," Tracy said. "We'll have a better idea of how they're healing once they do that." Tsung-Che Cheng, Anthony Seigler, Andruw Monasterio and Romy Gonzalez should continue to see increased playing time while both Kiner-Falefa and Mayer are out.

Donovan (groin) will begin a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Donovan was initially expected to begin his assignment in rookie ball earlier this month, but after several extra days of working out at the Mariners' Arizona complex, he's finally been cleared to test his strained left groin in a competitive setting. The 29-year-old has been on the shelf for nearly two full months, so the M's are likely to keep him in the minors for an extended period of time before adding him back to the active roster.

The Astros acquired Fielder from the Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for Lance McCullers (shoulder), Colton Gordon and cash considerations.

It was a salary dump for the Astros, who were getting out from the remainder of McCullers' five-year, $85 million deal. Jadyn is the son of Prince Fielder and has spent the 2026 season with Single-A Wilson, where he's slashed .233/.415/.398 with three homers, 23 RBI, 34 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and a 33:43 BB:K across 176 trips to the plate. The Astros announced Fielder as an outfielder, though he's also played second base in the minors and has spent a lot of time serving as a DH.

Donovan (groin) still has not begun a minor-league rehab assignment.

Donovan last played May 15 and has been dealing with groin issues since the eighth game of the season. He spent some time on the injured list in late April before returning to play in seven contests only to head back to the IL following an aggravation. Donovan started a running program last month and was expected to head out on a rehab assignment last week. He's been in Arizona but has yet to appear in any minor-league contests. It seems unlikely Donovan will be ready to rejoin the Mariners' lineup coming out of the All-Star break Friday against the Giants.
