Schultz (knee) struck out four and allowed one unearned run on two hits in his two-inning start Sunday after being activated from the 7-day injured list.

Schultz hadn't pitched for Charlotte since July 3 due to a right knee injury before he was cleared to slot into the Triple-A rotation Sunday, albeit on a restricted pitch count. The right-hander is regarded as one of the White Sox's top pitching prospects, but he's struggled thus far through his first outings with Charlotte, delivering a 10.13 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 13.1 innings.

Batista (elbow) has struck out three batters and has allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks across four innings over two relief appearances since being reinstated from High-A Winston-Salem's 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Though Batista has picked up wins in both of his outings since making his return from a stress fracture of his right elbow, he's struggled to regain his control following a four-plus-month layoff from game action. In addition to issuing two walks, Batista has also hit three batters in four innings.

The Twins promoted Jenkins from Double-A Wichita to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Jenkins will make the leap to Triple-A after slashing .309/.426/.487 with seven home runs and 11 stolen bases across 235 plate appearances in 52 games with Wichita. Widely considered one of the Twins' top prospects, Jenkins will look to close out the season on a high note at Triple-A before potentially making a run at a spot on the Twins' Opening Day roster next spring.

Williams (8-5) took the loss Sunday at Texas, conceding three runs on three hits and four walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

The Cleveland right-hander failed to put away hitters, as he labored over this 90-pitch outing. This marks the eighth time Williams has issued four or more free passes this season out of 26 total starts. Things unraveled for Williams in the fourth after he tossed three scoreless frames, as the 26-year-old yielded a two-run homer to Rowdy Tellez before being lifted after allowing a Josh Jung single (Jung later scored on a single given up by reliever Matt Festa). Despite an elevated walk rate (4.7 BB/9), Williams has been a solid fantasy contributor this season, sporting a 3.36 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 135 strikeouts in 136.2 total innings. He currently lines up to make his next appearance at home against Seattle next weekend.

Guerrero (hamstring) made a pinch-hit appearance in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins, popping out in his lone at-bat in the eighth inning.

After not appearing in any of the Blue Jays' previous four games due to left hamstring inflammation, Guerrero was summoned from the bench in a high-leverage spot, stepping into the batter's box with two outs and two runners on base with Toronto down two runs. Though he wasn't able to come through in the clutch, Guerrero's usage Sunday offers hope that he'll be able to avoid a stint on the injured list. Guerrero may not be ready to play first base right away, but the Blue Jays could deploy him at designated hitter in Monday's series opener versus the Twins.

Single-A Charleston placed Gillen on the 7-day injured list Aug. 16 due to an unspecified injury.

A 19-year-old outfielder, Gillen has submitted an impressive debut campaign in full-season ball, slashing .267/.433/.387 with 36 stolen bases in 39 attempts and a 20.8 percent walk rate. The Rays haven't indicated whether Gillen has any chance of playing again in 2025, but he's likely done enough during his time at Charleston to earn a bump up to High-A Bowling Green next season.

Guerrero (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-14 with two doubles, one walk, three RBI and two runs in three games since being reinstated from Single-A Charleston's 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Guerrero hadn't played for Charleston in more than two months before being activated from the IL after making one rehab appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 19-year-old outfielder remains one of the Rays' more talented lower-level prospects, but durability issues have caused his stock to take a tumble since he debuted in North America in 2024.

Guerrero (elbow) threw a 25-pitch live batting practice session Aug. 12 and could soon head out on a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Guerrero is eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list later this week, but he'll need additional time to complete a rehab assignment before making his return to the Boston bullpen. Before landing on the shelf June 28 due to a right elbow strain, Guerrero compiled a 4.15 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 10:14 K:BB in 17.1 innings over 13 appearances.

Schanuel is dealing with a bone bruise on his left wrist, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Schanuel was placed on the 10-day injured list with what was originally described as a left wrist contusion Sunday. The 23-year-old clarified that it is a bone bruise and that he intends on missing the minimum 10 days. The injury originated Aug. 11, when Schanuel was struck in the left wrist by Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and it sounds like there's confidence he'll be able to return to full health after some time away.

The Athletics announced Aug. 12 that Medina (elbow) continues to throw off flat ground, but he's not expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list at any point this season, MLB.com reports.

Medina was always facing an uphill battle to pitch for the Athletics in 2025 after undergoing Tommy John surgery Aug. 7, 2024, and while he's seemingly avoided any setbacks in his recovery, he's not moving through his rehab process at a rapid enough pace to have a realistic chance of coming off the IL before season's end. The right-hander should be able to throw off a mound and potentially face hitters by the time the season wraps up, so he may be free of any restrictions by the time spring training gets underway next February.
