  • Byron Buxton CF | MIN

    Twins' Byron Buxton: Likely to return for Yankees series

    Manager Rocco Baldelli said Sunday that he expects Buxton (rib) to return from the 10-day injured list at some point during the Twins' upcoming series with the Yankees that begins Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Buxton has been on the shelf since July 29 due to left rib cartilage irritation, but he appears set to bypass a rehab assignment and rejoin the Minnesota lineup this week after he was able to complete a battery of tests in recent days. Once Buxton is activated, he'll settle back in as Minnesota's everyday center fielder, which will likely leave Austin Martin and Alan Roden to vie for playing time at a corner-outfield spot.

  • Elvis Peguero RP | CHW

    White Sox's Elvis Peguero: Set to operate as opener Monday

    Peguero will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Tigers, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

    After being claimed off waivers from the Brewers on Aug. 3, Peguero was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday and will make his White Sox debut Monday in what will be his first MLB start. The right-hander will likely be limited to just one or two innings before turning the ball over to lefty Tyler Alexander, who is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Ready for rehab assignment

    Suarez (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday or Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The Orioles have yet to decide which affiliate Suarez will join for his rehab assignment, but the 35-year-old righty is ready to test himself in a game setting after he recently completed multiple live sessions without issue. Suarez has been on the shelf since March 30 due to a right subscapularis strain. so he may be in store for a lengthy rehab assignment, especially if the Orioles choose to have him get stretched out as a starter.

  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Saddled with eighth loss

    Corbin (6-8) took the loss Sunday against Philadelphia, conceding three runs on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out one.

    The veteran southpaw was pulled relatively early for the second straight start at 78 pitches, after he was yanked following a three-inning, 72-pitch outing against the Yankees on Monday. Corbin pitched relatively well in this contest, inducing 11 whiffs, but couldn't make it through the fifth after allowing four of the first five batters in that frame to reach base. Through 117 total innings, the 36-year-old owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 97:38 K:BB but could be facing difficulty notching wins and quality starts if he continues to see quick hooks. Corbin lines up for another difficult test in his next start, currently scheduled to be at Toronto next weekend.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    White Sox's Martin Perez: Closing in on return

    White Sox manager Will Venable said Sunday that Perez (elbow) will throw a bullpen session before the team determines his next steps, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

    After Perez built up to four innings and 58 pitches in his second rehab outing with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Venable suggested that the veteran southpaw would require another start in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list. However, Venable's comments Sunday seemingly suggest that Perez's return from the IL could be expedited, depending on how the 34-year-old comes out of his upcoming throwing session. Perez has been on the shelf since April 19 due to a left flexor strain, so he'll likely have his workload monitored carefully if the White Sox bring him back from the IL during the upcoming week.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Set for another rehab start

    Miller (elbow) is scheduled to make his third rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Miller is expected to build up to around 80-to-85 pitches in the upcoming outing, which should be his final one in the minors before he returns from the 15-day injured list and slots back into the Seattle rotation. The right-hander has been on the shelf since June 7 due to elbow inflammation but has exhibited sharp control through his first two starts with Tacoma, turning in an 11:2 K:BB in 7.2 innings.

  • Cooper Ingle LF | CLE

    Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Heading to Triple-A

    The Guardians promoted Ingle from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    Ingle, a 23-year-old catching prospect, batted .273 with nine home runs and a 65:70 BB:K over 403 plate appearances with Akron. He'll likely finish out the 2025 season and open the 2026 campaign as Columbus' No. 1 catcher, but Ingle should have a good chance at reaching the majors at some point next summer.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Moving up to Triple-A

    The Guardians promoted Bazzana from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft will make the jump to the highest level of the minors after batting .256 with five home runs and nine stolen bases over 228 plate appearances at Akron. The 22-year-old will look to finish the 2025 campaign on a high note at Columbus before likely making his MLB debut at some point in 2026.

  • Slade Cecconi SP | CLE

    Guardians' Slade Cecconi: Suffers fifth loss

    Cecconi (5-5) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk over three innings. He struck out four.

    The 26-year-old righty struggled in this short 68-pitch outing, as he conceded multiple homers for the first time in his last four starts. Over his past three previous appearances, Cecconi pitched well, tossing 19 frames with a 3.32 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB. He yielded both long balls in the first, with Lenyn Sosa popping a two-run homer and Colson Montgomery knocking a solo shot. Cecconi will carry a 4.11 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 73:24 K:BB across 85.1 innings into his next start, which currently lines up to be at home against Atlanta next weekend.

  • Grant Taylor RP | CHW

    White Sox's Grant Taylor: Tallies fourth save

    Taylor picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win against Cleveland, pitching a clean inning with one strikeout.

    The flamethrowing right-hander secured his first save since July 4 with this succinct, eight-pitch effort. Since that date, Taylor had been respectable in 9.2 frames across nine appearances with a 3.72 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB. Since July 4, the White Sox have notched only four saves as a team -- Jordan Leasure with two and Dan Altavilla and Steven Wilson with one apiece. The Chicago closer race is still wide open, and Taylor, who now owns a 3.91 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB over 23 total innings, remains one of the better high-leverage options for manager Will Venable.
