The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Gasper will join the big-league roster to provide Minnesota with depth behind the plate while Ryan Jeffers is on paternity leave. The 29-year-old Gasper owns just a .488 OPS through 39 plate appearances in the majors this season, so Christian Vazquez will likely take over as the Twins' main backstop.

Pederson (hand) is two games into a rehab assignment and has gone 2-for-6 with one walk and a run scored for Double-A Frisco.

Pederson kicked off the assignment Thursday as the designated hitter and followed up at first base Friday. Per MLB.com, Pederson is on track to return for the Rangers' next road trip, which begins Monday against the Angels.

The Rangers optioned Freeman to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Matthew Postins of SI.com reports.

Sam Haggerty (ankle) is back from the 10-day IL, so Freeman will return to the minors. Freeman made his MLB debut earlier this month and appeared in four games with Texas, slashing .143/.143/.286 with one RBI, two runs scored and a 0:2 BB:K across seven plate appearances.

Jones went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 11-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

As has been the case all season, Jones did some damage when facing a lefty, this time taking Toronto starter Eric Lauer deep in the first inning. Jones rarely plays against righties, but he's become a force against southpaws with a .921 OPS and four home runs in 51 at-bats. The 27-year-old has bounced between the minors and majors during his career, though his platoon success this year should allow him to stick around in Detroit as a reserve outfielder.

Trout went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday.

Trout extended his on-base streak to nine games with a solo shot in the third inning. The veteran slugger has posted a .991 OPS with two long balls and nine RBI during that nine-game span, though he's also struck out at a 31.8 percent clip. Trout is at a .237/.359/.467 slash line on the campaign with 18 home runs, 45 RBI, 40 runs and two stolen bases through 76 contests.

Pederson (hand) is expected to report to Double-A Frisco this weekend to begin a rehab assignment, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

After taking batting practice Tuesday and Wednesday, Pederson said he's feeling good physically and merely needs to continue his ramp-up process by getting in some competitive at-bats before the Rangers bring him back from the 10-day injured list. Manager Bruce Bochy suggested Tuesday that he doesn't anticipate Pederson needing a lengthy rehab assignment, so the 33-year-old may just stick around with Frisco through the weekend before the Rangers potentially activate him early next week. Pederson has been on the shelf since May 25 with a broken right hand but didn't require surgery.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Stanton will get some rest for the series finale after he started in each of the Yankees' last four games while going 5-for-15 with a solo home run, three walks and four runs. With Stanton on the bench, Aaron Judge will get a day off from playing the outfield and will occupy the designated-hitter spot.

Springer went 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.

The 35-year-old continues his career resurgence. Springer has delivered multiple hits in nine of 17 games in July, slashing .349/.431/.667 on the month with two doubles, six homers, three steals, 15 RBI and 16 runs.

Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Keith and fellow left-handed hitter Riley Greene will head to the bench Wednesday for the day game after a night game while the Pirates send southpaw Bailey Falter to the hill. With Keith out of the lineup, Zach McKinstry will occupy third base and Jahmai Jones will enter the lineup at designated hitter.

Rice went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-4 win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Rice couldn't reach base in any of his first three plate appearances, but he came through when it mattered most, swatting a solo homer in the ninth inning to break a 4-4 tie. It was Rice's first homer since June 24, a span of 16 games. The young slugger has seen fewer opportunities since Giancarlo Stanton returned from an extended stint on the injured list. Rice has started just three times in the Yankees' past seven contests.
