Caglianone isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Caglianone will sit down for the second time in three games since returning from the injured list while the Royals ease him back into major-league action. His absence will give Carter Jensen a start as Kansas City's designated hitter while batting eighth.

The White Sox designated Wilson for assignment Thursday.

Wilson's time with the White Sox will come to an end after just five days, during which he threw two shutout innings in his lone appearance Tuesday against Minnesota. The 27-year-old cleared waivers and remained with the organization when he was DFA'd in June, and there's a strong chance he does the same this time around.

The White Sox placed Hudson on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a lower-back strain.

Hudson had been recalled earlier this week and made just one appearance before landing on the IL. He'll be eligible to return later this month, but any injury at this point has the potential to be a season-ender.

The White Sox recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

The 31-year-old southpaw was sent down to Triple-A last week, but he'll now return to Chicago to fill in for Bryan Hudson (back), who landed on the injured list Thursday. Gilbert owns a 4.61 ERA through 41 innings in the majors this year and will presumably work in middle relief while with the big club.

The White Sox recalled Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Cannon is scheduled to serve as the bulk reliever in Thursday's game against the Twins. The right-hander has made 17 starts and two relief appearances for Chicago this season, posting a 5.34 ERA and 76:35 K:BB over 96 innings.

The Mariners optioned Saucedo to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Saucedo is being sent down to make room on the active roster for Jose Castillo, who officially reported Thursday one day after being claimed off waivers. The left-handed Saucedo holds a 7.43 ERA and 12:6 K:BB over 13.1 innings for Seattle this season.

The Red Sox will recall Murphy from Triple-A Worcester prior to Friday's game in Arizona, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

He'll take the roster spot vacated by Jordan Hicks (shoulder), who is heading to the 15-day injured list. Murphy has made 14 appearances out of the Boston bullpen this season, collecting a 3.05 ERA and 19:10 K:BB over 20.2 frames. He'll be used in long relief.

The Red Sox will place Hicks on the 15-day injured list prior to Friday's game in Arizona with a right shoulder injury, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Hicks gave up four runs while recording just one out in an appearance Wednesday versus the Guardians and holds an 8.20 ERA and 15:12 K:BB over 18.2 innings during his time with the Red Sox. He would be eligible for activation Sept. 19, but between the nature of the injury and Hicks' struggles, his season could be over.

Williams (3-6) took the loss against Houston on Wednesday, allowing four runs on one hit and three walks while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning.

The game was tied 4-4 when Williams took the mound in the eighth inning. He immediately found himself in trouble, giving up a double and a walk to the first two batters he faced. Williams fanned two of the next three hitters to nearly wiggle out of the mess, but he then walked in a run before giving way to Camilo Doval, who allowed all three of his inherited runners to score. Williams has been prone to blowups this season -- he's given up multiple runs in 10 outings, and in half of those instances he's surrendered at least three runs. Despite an impressive 78:23 K:BB over 53 frames, his ERA sits at an ugly 5.60 on the season.

Peete is slashing .216/.284/.403 with 18 home runs and 25 steals in 121 games for High-A Everett.

Peete, who is playing his first full season in center field, is flirting with a 20/20 season at High-A in his age-19 season (he turned 20 in August). While he has been well below league average (77 wRC+), he has still shown reason to be patient in deeper dynasty leagues. His .283 BABIP is partially to blame for his mediocre slash line, and he encouragingly logged career-high flyball (39.1 percent) and pull (50.2 percent) rates for the AquaSox. Peete will presumably head back to High-A in 2026 with a chance to spend most of the year at Double-A if he can trim this year's 30.9 percent strikeout rate.
