  • Chad Wallach C | LAA

    Angels' Chad Wallach: Back in majors

    The Angels selected Wallach's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Wallach will return to the big leagues for the first time since 2023 to give the Angels depth behind the plate with Logan O'Hoppe and now Travis d'Arnaud both on the 7-day concussion IL. The 33-year-old Wallach has slashed .256/.311/.464 with 25 RBI and 18 runs scored across 137 plate appearances since signing a minor-league deal with Los Angeles in June.

  • Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Moves to 7-day IL

    The Angels placed d'Arnaud on the 7-day concussion IL on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    D'Arnaud will join fellow backstop Logan O'Hoppe on the concussion IL after the former was hit in the head by a backswing during Thursday's contest. Sebastian Rivero will continue to start most days behind home plate while the other two catchers are out, and the Halos will promote Chad Wallach from Triple-A Salt Lake to provide depth at the position.

  • Denzel Clarke CF | ATH

    Athletics' Denzel Clarke: Running session cut short

    Clarke (hip) was pulled from his baserunning session Friday after experiencing a setback, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Clarke was only able to make it down to first base twice before the A's put an end to his scheduled activities. He's slated to undergo further evaluation to determine his new timeline for return, though a setback at this stage in the year could spell an early end to the 25-year-old's season.

  • Brooks Baldwin LF | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Dealing with sore hip

    Baldwin was taken out of Friday's game against the Guardians due to left hip soreness.

    Baldwin had gone 0-for-2 with a strikeout before the hip issue caused his early removal in the sixth inning. If he ends up needing to miss any time beyond Friday, Michael Taylor would be the favorite to pick up starts in center field.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Pulled with toe injury

    Rogers was removed from Friday's game against the Blue Jays with left toe discomfort, Brendan Mortensen of MASNSports.com reports.

    Rogers made it through five innings Friday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters, before his toe issue cut his start short. It's currently unknown whether the 27-year-old southpaw will be able to make his next start, but the Orioles may offer an update on his status in the near future.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Exits with trainer

    Skubal was removed from his start Friday against the Marlins with left side tightness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Skubal had given up three earned runs on four hits and logged two strikeouts in 3.1 innings before calling a trainer out to the mound in the fourth. He's due to undergo imaging Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, at which point the team will have a better idea of his availability for his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come against Cleveland on Thursday.

  • Jo Adell CF | LAA

    Angels' Jo Adell: Sitting again Friday

    Adell (illness) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Adell will miss out on the starting nine for the fourth time in the Angels' last five games while he continues to battle through a case of vertigo. Chris Taylor will fill the void in right field and bat second.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Out of Friday's lineup

    Neto (hand) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Neto seemed to have trouble with his hand after taking a swing Thursday, so the Angels will sit him down Friday as a precaution. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at shortstop as a result, opening up first base for Logan Davidson.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Exits with injury

    Baez was removed from Friday's game against the Marlins after fouling a ball off his head, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    An awkward swing from Baez in the second inning resulted in the ball deflecting off his forehead, immediately prompting his removal from the game. The Tigers will almost certainly evaluate the 32-year-old for a concussion; meanwhile, Trey Sweeney will take over as Detroit's shortstop.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Scratched with groin tightness

    Soderstrom was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Reds due to groin tightness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Soderstrom's groin first began bothering him during his pinch-hit appearance Wednesday, and it appears to still be an issue after a day off Thursday. He'll now receive another day to recover while Carlos Cortes steps in to cover left field during Friday's series opener.
