  • Liam Hendriks RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Shut down from throwing

    The Red Sox pulled Hendriks (hip) off his throwing program Saturday after he experienced tightness in his forearm, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    A hip injury sent Hendriks to the injured list in late May, and now that he's been shut down from throwing, he'll almost certainly remain sidelined for the rest of the year. The 36-year-old righty will finish 2025 with a 6.59 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 13.2 innings.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Riding pine Saturday

    Stanton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Stanton will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts during Friday's series opener. Aaron Judge will work as New York's designated hitter while Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger form the outfield trio.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Sitting down Saturday

    Jackson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Jackson will get a chance to catch his breath after slashing .225/.279/.475 over 43 plate appearances through 10 games in September. His absence will allow Dylan Carlson, Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers to start across Baltimore's outfield.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Idle Saturday

    Mountcastle isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.

    Mountcastle will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. Coby Mayo will start at first base and bat ninth.

  • Jarren Duran LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Resting Saturday

    Duran isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Duran typically remains in the lineup against left-handed starters, but the Red Sox will use a matchup against southpaw Max Fried as an opportunity to get Duran a day off. Rob Refsnyder will take over in left field and bat fourth.

  • Romy Gonzalez 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Returning Saturday

    Gonzalez (knee) will start at first base and bat leadoff against the Yankees on Saturday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Left knee soreness kept Gonzalez from playing in Boston's last two games, but he's been cleared to return to action Saturday. The 29-year-old is currently enjoying a 12-game hitting streak, during which he's slashed .455/.444/.545 with nine RBI and five runs scored.

  • Jonny DeLuca CF | TB

    Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Rays transferred DeLuca (hamstring/quad) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    DeLuca has already been ruled out for the rest of the year after suffering a right quad strain at Triple-A Durham, so the Rays will move him to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man roster spot for Garrett Acton.

  • Eric Orze RP | TB

    Rays' Eric Orze: Back in minors

    The Rays optioned Orze to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Orze pitched two innings over two appearances after being recalled from Triple-A on Thursday, giving up two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two batters. He'll now be sent back to the minors while Tampa Bay brings in a fresh arm in the form of Garrett Acton.

  • Rays' Garrett Acton: Contract selected

    The Rays selected Acton's contract from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Acton has spent the entire season at Durham, where he owns a 3.64 ERA and 1.11 WHIP to go with a 67:24 K:BB through 54.1 innings. He'll now join an MLB bullpen for the first time since 2023 as a replacement for Eric Orze, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Resting Saturday

    Kirk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    Kirk will receive a day to reset after going 0-for-18 with four walks and two runs scored over his last six games. Tyler Heineman will start behind the dish instead and catch for Max Scherzer.
