  • Byron Buxton CF | MIN

    Twins' Byron Buxton: Three hits, homer in win

    Buxton went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers.

    After going just 4-for-23 with a pair of extra-base hits in his first six games back from the IL, Buxton broke out with a big effort Sunday, highlighted by his 25th home run this season in the third inning off Chris Paddack. Overall, the 31-year-old Buxton is batting .280 with an .896 OPS, 61 RBI, 73 runs scored and 18 stolen bases across 394 plate appearances this season.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Goes 4.2 innings vs. Cards

    Warren did not factor into the decision Sunday against St. Louis, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk across 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

    While Warren couldn't make it out of the fifth inning Sunday, the right-hander still hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last five starts -- he's posted a 1.93 ERA in that span over 28 frames. Overall, the 26-year-old Warren is 7-5 with a 4.25 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 143:55 K:BB across 26 starts (127 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Red Sox at home his next time out.

  • Leo De Vries SS | ATH

    Athletics' Leo De Vries: Moving up to Double-A

    De Vries was promoted to Double-A Midland on Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    De Vries will move up a level in the Athletics' minor-league system after combining to bat .249 with 10 home runs, 58 RBI, 55 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 366 at-bats between High-A Fort Wayne and High-A Lansing this season. The 18-year-old is considered to be the team's top overall prospect, and he'll now get the chance to dip his toe into the Double-A level before the conclusion of the 2025 campaign.

  • Chris Paddack RP | TEX

    Tigers' Chris Paddack: Tagged for eight runs

    Paddack (4-11) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing eight runs on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Six of the runs charged to Paddack came in the third inning, highlighted by Brooks Lee's two-out grand slam. The 29-year-old Paddack has given up 12 runs over 9.2 innings in two starts against the Twins, his former team, since joining Detroit at the trade deadline -- he allowed just six runs over 15.2 innings in his other three outings. Overall, Paddack sports a 5.10 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB across 25 starts (132.1 innings) between the Tigers and Twins this season. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively lined up for next week at home against the Royals.

  • Wilyer Abreu RF | BOS

    Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Hoping to be back Thursday

    Abreu (calf) said after Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins that he hopes to be out of the lineup for just a couple days before returning to the starting nine for Thursday's series opener against the Yankees, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    The 26-year-old departed Sunday's game due to right calf tightness, though he made an impact prior to exiting with a two-run home run plus an additional run. Abreu appears set to sit out the two-game set versus Baltimore that begins Monday, but he should be able to avoid a stint on the injured list.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Heading for imaging

    Manager Bruce Bochy said that Burger won't be available for at least a couple of days while he heads back to Texas to receive medical imaging on his left wrist, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Burger exited Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays due to left wrist discomfort, and there's enough concern about his injury for him to leave the team for a more thorough evaluation. The 29-year-old will miss at least the first couple games of the Rangers' upcoming series in Kansas City while the specifics of the injury are determined.

  • Thomas Hatch RP | ARI

    Twins' Thomas Hatch: Grabs second win

    Hatch (2-0) earned the win Sunday over the Tigers, allowing a run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

    Hatch, making his first start this season, was impressive against a Detroit team that had scored 15 runs in their previous two games. In 13.2 innings with Minnesota, Hatch has pitched to a 3.29 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP and 9:11 K:BB. The 30-year-old right-hander could get another look in the rotation while Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and Matt Festa (shoulder) are sidelined. Hatch would tentatively line up for a road matchup with the White Sox in his next outing.

  • Orioles' Maverick Handley: Activated and optioned

    The Orioles activated Handley (wrist) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    The 27-year-old will stick around with Norfolk after he recently wrapped up a five-game rehab assignment with the affiliate. Initially placed on the 7-day injured list June 23 due to a concussion, Handley was later shifted to the 10-day IL on July 23 due to a sprained right wrist. Though Handley is healthy again, the Orioles didn't have a spot available for him on the active roster with three other catchers already on hand (Adley Rutschman, Samuel Basallo and Alex Jackson).

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Serving as 27th man

    The Mariners recalled Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Sunday's game against the Mets in Williamsport, Pa.

    Seattle is designating Mastrobuoni as its 27th man for the 2025 MLB Little League Classic, so he'll most likely head back to Tacoma once the contest in Williamsport is completed. Mastrobuoni isn't in the lineup for Sunday's contest but is capable of serving as an in-game replacement at multiple infield or outfield positions.
