  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Trio of hits in rout

    Baldwin went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored during Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Twins.

    Baldwin reached in four of his five plate appearances, drawing a walk in addition to his trio of singles. The 25-year-old has recorded multiple hits in three of his last four games, and he's 17-for-49 (.347) with two home runs and three doubles across his last 16 outings.

  • Caden Dana SP | LAA

    Angels' Caden Dana: Starting Wednesday

    The Angels will recall Dana from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Wednesday's game against the Royals in Anaheim, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    With Victor Mederos (shoulder) and Tyler Anderson (oblique) both on the injured list, the Angels will turn to Dana to fill one of the openings in the rotation. The 21-year-old righty hasn't fared well in the majors throughout his young career, allowing 16 earned runs in 16.1 innings while striking out 14 batters and walking 12 over five appearances (three starts) over the past two seasons. He also carries a 5.93 ERA through 82 frames in Triple-A this season, making him a risky streaming option for Wednesday.

  • Wenceel Perez RF | DET

    Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Collects three hits Tuesday

    Perez went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Mets.

    Perez has started the series against New York by going 4-for-9 with a double, a home run and five RBI across two games. The 25-year-old outfielder is emerging as an effective offensive performer in his second MLB season with a .266/.323/.479 slash line across 79 contests overall, and he should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers.

  • Luis Severino SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Severino: Sharp in return Tuesday

    Severino took a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    Severino was likely working with a workload restriction in his first start since Aug. 5, although that didn't prevent him from delivering his first scoreless outing since May 17. The three hits allowed also matched a season best, and the veteran right-hander has now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last five appearances. Severino has a 4.65 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 107:45 K:BB over 141.1 innings, and he'll be looking to increase his pitch count next week against the Red Sox.

  • Chris Paddack SP | CIN

    Tigers' Chris Paddack: Going on bereavement leave

    The Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Paddack will be away from the team for at least three days following a death in his family. Earlier Tuesday, the Tigers announced that Paddack had been demoted to the bullpen, and the right-hander was put to work right away. He retired just four of the 13 batters he faced in the Tigers' 12-5 loss to the Mets, allowing six earned runs on eight hits.

  • Red Sox's Brennan Bernardino: Slated to open Wednesday's game

    Bernardino will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Bernardino is currently enjoying the best season of his MLB career, having submitted a 3.14 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 48.2 innings. Though the lefty will be picking up his third start of the season, he's unlikely to work more than an inning or two before exiting the contest. Dustin May is on track to pitch in bulk relief behind Bernardino.

  • Roman Anthony OF | BOS

    Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Exits early Tuesday

    Anthony was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with left oblique tightness, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Anthony appeared to tweak something while striking out during his at-bat in the fourth inning, and he was replaced on defense when the Red Sox took the field in the fifth. More details on the severity of the 21-year-old's injury will have to wait until the team gets a closer look at him, but he can be considered day-to-day for now.

  • Mike Trout CF | LAA

    Angels' Mike Trout: Scratched Tuesday

    Trout was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Royals due to a skin infection.

    Trout's infection will prevent him from starting Tuesday, and it's currently unclear if his absence will extend further into the Angels' series against Kansas City. Jo Adell will fill in as the Halos' designated hitter while Trout sits, opening up right field for Chris Taylor.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Likely to start Saturday

    Scherzer (back) is feeling better and is on track to make his regular turn through the rotation Saturday against the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The 41-year-old surrendered four runs over four innings Sunday versus the Brewers while pitching through upper-back tightness, but he's been able to go through his regular between-starts routine the past couple days. Assuming Scherzer has no further issues, he should be ready to go for Saturday's divisional matchup.

  • Ezequiel Duran 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Sitting again Tuesday

    Duran is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    It's the second straight game on the bench for Duran following three consecutive starts. Cody Freeman is receiving another start at second base while batting sixth.
