Rodon underwent surgery Wednesday to remove loose bodies and shave down a bone spur in his left elbow, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Rodon will not be allowed to throw for eight weeks and the operation "probably delays him" to begin the 2026 season, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday. It sounds like the left-hander should be ready to make his season debut sometime in April, but a firmer timetable for Rodon's return will not be known for a while. The southpaw won a career-high 18 games during the 2025 regular season, finishing with a 3.09 ERA and 203:73 K:BB over 195.1 innings.

Kirk went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Mariners in Game 3 of the ALCS.

Kirk's homer off Caleb Ferguson in the eighth inning extended Toronto's lead to 12-2, putting an exclamation point on what was already shaping up to be a convincing road win for the Jays. Three of the 26-year-old backstop's seven postseason hits have flown over the outfield fence, helping to give him a cool .586 slugging percentage through seven games.

Kirby took the loss in Game 3 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays on Wednesday after allowing eight earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four-plus innings.

Kirby made it through the first two frames unscathed, but things quickly turned sour for the 27-year-old once he gave up a leadoff double to Ernie Clement in the third, followed by a game-tying two-run blast from Andres Gimenez. Kirby allowed three more runs to score before the end of the inning, and additional solo shots from George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero contributed to the right-hander's early exit from the game. Now sporting a 7.07 ERA through 14 innings in the postseason, Kirby would likely get the call to start Game 7 if the two sides take the series that far.

Guerrero went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional runs scored and a walk during Wednesday's 13-4 win against Seattle in Game 3 of the ALCS.

After collecting nine hits against the Yankees in the ALDS, Guerrero had gone hitless through Toronto's first two games against the Mariners. He returned to form with his performance Wednesday, which was highlighted by a 406-foot blast against George Kirby in the fifth inning. The first baseman has been one of the most prolific hitters in the postseason this year, slashing .464/.515/.964 with four homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored through seven games.

Bieber picked up the win in Game 3 of the ALCS against the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight batters over six innings.

The right-hander's day got off to a shaky start, as he allowed a leadoff walk to Randy Arozarena before serving up a two-run homer to Julio Rodriguez to give Seattle a 2-0 lead with one out in the first inning. Bieber did a tremendous job settling in afterward, collecting the next 17 outs while surrendering just three additional hits, while a 13-run outburst from Toronto's offense gave the 30-year-old far more support than he needed to leave the ballpark with a win. Bieber is lined up to possibly retake the mound in Game 7, if the series makes it that far.

Santander (back) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Wednesday's Game 3 of the ALCS versus the Mariners.

Santander had to be scratched from the Game 2 lineup due to lower-back tightness, but he's feeling well enough to return to action Wednesday as the series moves to Seattle. The 30-year-old is 3-for-13 with two RBI and a 0:4 BB:K in four games this postseason. Santander hadn't previously hit higher than seventh in those four contests, but the Blue Jays are changing up their batting order a bit as they look to jumpstart the offense.

The Twins claimed Kreidler off waivers from the Pirates on Wednesday.

Kreidler had been booted off the Pirates' 40-man roster earlier this week and has now found a new home. The 27-year-old has slashed just .138/.208/.176 over parts of four major-league seasons and is only a career .236/.342/.401 hitter in the minors. Kreidler does offer positional versatility and will likely compete for a reserve role with the Twins next season.

Volpe underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Volpe initially injured the shoulder on a diving attempt in early May and aggravated it on multiple occasions during the season. He never went on the injured list but did miss some time late in the regular season after being given a cortisone shot. The expectation is that Volpe will be recovered in time for Opening Day next season, though it will depend on how his rehab goes. Volpe slashed a disappointing .212/.272/.391 with 19 home runs and 18 stolen bases over 153 regular-season contest in 2025.

Bregman is expected to opt out of his contract with the Red Sox in the offseason, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Bregman signed a one-year $40 million contract with Boston last winter that included $40 million player options for the 2026 and '27 campaigns. The 31-year-old will now forgo his two option years and pursue a multi-year contract in free agency. After slashing .273/.360/.462 with 18 homers, 62 RBI and 64 runs scored over 114 regular-season games during his first season in Boston, he will likely have plenty of suitors vying for his services.

Hedges signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Guardians on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Hedges slashed just .161/.250/.277 with 10 RBI and 13 runs scored across 180 plate appearances in the regular season. However, the 33-year-old is great defensively behind the plate, so Cleveland will keep him around for another year to serve as a backup behind Bo Naylor.
