MLB Player News

Arias (hand) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday's series finale versus the Red Sox, MLB.com reports.

The Guardians had expected Arias to play in Tuesday's 11-7 loss, but the infielder missed a fourth consecutive game. Brayan Rocchio started at shortstop in each of the last four contests while Arias was out.

Sosa went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Twins.

Sosa homered in the seventh inning, going back-to-back with Kyle Teel. Nine of Sosa's 19 home runs have come since Aug. 1, and he's also delivered 21 RBI and 14 runs scored across 29 games in that span. While his overall counting stats are unimpressive, Sosa has quietly posted a .171 ISO and .732 OPS across 468 plate appearances on the season.

Robertson went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Twins.

Robertson was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Aug. 27 after Luis Robert (hamstring) was placed on the injured list. He's gone just 2-for-15 since being recalled and is hitting .097 across 31 at-bats on the season.

Ramos went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Tuesday against the Twins.

Ramos was recalled when rosters expanded Monday and was in the big-league lineup for the first time in 2025 on Tuesday. He struck out three times but also delivered a two-RBI double in the fifth inning. Ramos figures to be primarily a bench bat, but he could get mixed in against right-handed starters while Miguel Vargas (wrist) is sidelined.

Osuna started in right field and went 2-for-2 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Osuna filled in for injured right fielder Adolis Garcia (quadriceps). Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Garcia will be down for a few days, per MLB.com. The lefty hitting Osuna started against a righty and could get another start Wednesday against right-hander Zac Gallen.

Walls (groin) will see a specialist Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Walls has been sidelined since Aug. 12 and had recently begun running and strength exercises. However, he felt discomfort and will now seek additional medical evaluation. The results should provide clarity on whether Walls can return this season, though he doesn't appear to be close to activation.

Aranda (wrist) has resumed swinging a bat, but his wrist is still not fully healed, MLB.com reports.

Aranda has been out for a month due to a fractured wrist, and the symptoms have recently improved. He's set to see a doctor Sept. 10, which should clarify whether he has a chance to return this season. If Aranda does get back in the lineup, it will likely only be for the final few games.

Winn (hand) retired all three batters faced while pitching for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Winn looked sharp in what was his first game action since landing on the 15-day injured list Aug. 20 with nerve irritation in his thumb -- an issue that was eventually classified as "arm fatigue." The right-hander needed 17 pitches (11 strikes) to set down the three opposing batters. Winn could rejoin the bullpen as early as this weekend when the Rangers open a three-game series against the Astros on Friday.

Simpson went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Mariners.

Simpson was the catalyst for the Rays' offense in the seventh inning, when he reached base on an infield single, stole third base and then came around to score the eventual game-winning run. This marked his first stolen base in seven starts, but he now has 39 total bags on the season in only 89 games. Simpson has also led off 17 straight contests for the Rays, scoring 11 runs and driving in six in that span.

Mahle (shoulder) allowed five runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one over one-plus innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Mahle reached his pitch count before getting anyone out in the second inning after throwing 36 pitches (23 strikes) in an outing that was planned to go two full innings. He retired the first two batters faced before allowing three consecutive hits and two runs in the first inning. The right-hander came back out for the second inning and gave up a three-run home run. The Rangers had hoped Mahle could rejoin the pitching staff after one rehab outing, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, who noted Mahle's velocity across all pitches was down about one mph for the night compared to his season averages. The team's decision-makers may want to reconsider the pitcher's next step.
