  • Cole Young SS | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Resting Saturday

    Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

    Young will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk during Friday's contest. Jorge Polanco will cover second base while Young rests, putting Cal Raleigh at the DH spot while Mitch Garver starts behind the dish.

  • Scott Kingery 2B | LAA

    Angels' Scott Kingery: Back in Anaheim

    The Angels recalled Kingery from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    The Angels are down a utility man with Chris Taylor (hand) on the injured list for the second time in two months, so Kingery will come up from Triple-A to fill the opening. The 31-year-old has slashed .255/.311/.386 across 167 plate appearances at Salt Lake this year and is expected to come off the bench most days.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Pulled from game with back injury

    Sosa was removed from Saturday's contest against the Yankees due to a back contusion, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

    Sosa and Brandon Marsh collided in the outfield on a popup in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Sosa was subsequently lifted after remaining down on the field for a few minutes. He was replaced at third base by Otto Kemp. Sosa is slated for further evaluation, which should give clarity about how much additional time, if any, he'll need to miss.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Back in minors

    The Orioles optioned Jackson to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

    Jackson will end up back in the minors after spending just 24 hours with the big-league club. The 25-year-old will keep his spot on the 40-man roster, however, and he could return to Baltimore later in the year if he continues to hit the ball well at Norfolk. Yaramil Hiraldo was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Beginning on bench Saturday

    Gonzales is not in Saturday's starting lineup versus Arizona.

    Gonzales is getting his first rest since the All-Star break after going 0-for-14 with five strikeouts over his past three contests. Liover Peguero is starting at the keystone in Gonzales' stead Saturday.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Could start rehab assignment soon

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Gorman (back) could begin a rehab assignment next week, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Gorman was placed on the 10-day injured list last weekend with a lower-back injury that first cropped up before the All-Star break. He was given a pain-killing injection Monday and has evidently responded well enough that he could be cleared for game action shortly. Because Gorman has not missed much time, his rehab assignment should be relatively brief, setting him up for an early-August return.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Starts rehab assignment in Arizona

    Koss (hamstring) began his rehab stint in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Thursday, and he went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI in the team's 7-3 win over the ACL Diamondbacks.

    Koss played four innings at second base in his first rehab game, tallying two singles. The 27-year-old infielder was placed on the 10-day injured list July 1 due to a left hamstring strain. Before that, Koss had been solid as a reserve infielder for the Giants, slashing .265/.305/.357 with 12 runs scored, 12 RBI, two home runs and two stolen bases across 108 plate appearances.

  • Coco Montes 2B | TB

    Rays' Coco Montes: Jettisoned from 40-man

    The Rays designated Montes for assignment Saturday.

    Montes never appeared in a game after being recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday, and he'll now be replaced on the active and 40-man rosters by the newly acquired Tristan Gray. Montes owns a .616 OPS through 272 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, though his defensive versatility could offer at least some appeal to teams browsing the waiver wire.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Homers in return to lineup

    Estrada went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.

    Estrada batted sixth in his return from a thumb sprain and helped spark a comeback with a two-run homer in the fourth inning. Through just 129 plate appearances this season, the 29-year-old is slashing .283/.310/.417 with three home runs, 20 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Sent down to minors

    The Yankees optioned Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

    Vivas' most recent call-up came July 9 after DJ LeMahieu was DFA'd. Vivas had been trading off starts at third base with Oswald Peraza since, but the Yankees found a full-time starter at the hot corner Friday when they traded with Colorado for Ryan McMahon. In Vivas' most recent stint with the Yankees, he went 2-for-10 with an RBI over six games.
