Hobie Harris RP | BOS
Red Sox's Hobie Harris: Debuts for Worcester
Harris (forearm) struck out a batter and allowed two runs on three hits and one walk Friday for Triple-A Worcester after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
Harris got off to a delayed start to the 2026 campaign after being placed on Worcester's 60-day IL in March due to forearm tightness. He's since put the injury behind him, as he was cleared to debut for Worcester coming out of the All-Star break after making three rehab appearances in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Fernando Cruz RP | NYY
Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Collects second save of 2026
Cruz earned the save in Monday's 8-5 win over the Pirates, striking out three batters across 1.1 scoreless frames.
David Bednar tossed 32 pitches during the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, so he wasn't available for Monday's contest. Cruz was brought out in the eighth inning and proceeded to strike out three of the four batters he faced en route to his second save of the season, matching a career high he set last year. Cruz has a 2.32 ERA. 1.24 WHIP and 55:24 K:BB across 42.2 innings.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Diagnosed with bruised shin
Montgomery left Monday's game against the Rangers due to a right shin contusion, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Montgomery suffered the injury in the top of the seventh inning and was forced to exit the game after finishing his at-bat. It appears as though he's managed to avoid a significant injury, and he'll presumably be re-evaluated Tuesday morning to determine his availability for the second game of the series.

Ryan Weathers SP | NYY
Yankees' Ryan Weathers: No-decision vs. Pittsburgh
Weathers did not factor into Monday's decision against the Pirates, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings.
The Yankees handed Weathers an early 4-0 lead, but the veteran southpaw gave that lead to the Pirates after yielding five runs across the second and third frames. It was the sixth time this season that he gave up at least five earned runs, though he also generated 20 whiffs and 17 first-pitch strikes on 99 pitches. Weathers will take a 4.40 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 102.1 innings into his next start, which is slated for this weekend on the road against the Phillies.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Goes deep twice vs. Pittsburgh
Chisholm went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.
Chisholm's power at the plate has not been the same this season compared to previous years. However, he gave the Yankees an early 4-0 lead with a three-run homer off Braxton Ashcraft in the first inning before giving the Bronx Bombers the lead for good with a two-run blast in the third. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for Chisholm, which he did four times last year. He's up to a .726 OPS with 26 steals, 16 home runs and 43 RBI across 375 plate appearances this season.

Jack Anderson RP | MIN
Twins' Jack Anderson: Promotion on tap
Anderson will be recalled from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Anderson's last big-league appearance dates back to April 21, when he allowed one run on four hits while fanning two over two innings as a member of the Red Sox. The Twins claimed him off waivers July 11, and he'll likely make his team debut Tuesday in a bulk-relief role behind opening pitcher Kendry Rojas.
