  • Denzel Clarke CF | ATH

    Athletics' Denzel Clarke: Set to start running

    Clarke (hip) is scheduled to run the bases Friday and could begin a rehab assignment next week, MLB.com reports.

    Clarke has been sidelined since July 22 with a Grade 2 right adductor strain, and he reinjured the same adductor during a rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 15. The Athletics have taken a very cautious approach with him since, but he's set to begin running Friday, which could lead to another rehab assignment next week if all goes smoothly. That raises the possibility of the center fielder returning before the end of the season, though the organization will continue to monitor his progress carefully.

  • Tyler Mahle SP | TEX

    Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Making another rehab start

    Mahle (shoulder) will make another rehab start Friday, Abby Jones of DLLS Sports reports.

    The Rangers had mulled the possibility of activating Mahle from the 60-day injured list this weekend to make an appearance against the Mets, but they've ultimately decided to give him another rehab outing to continue getting stretched out. Mahle struck out three over 2.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, throwing 47 pitches. He's been out since mid-June with a right shoulder strain.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: RBI in three straight games

    Diaz went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Diaz has performed well in September, collecting at least one hit in five of his eight starts while also tallying four doubles. He's hit particularly well since the start of Houston's weekend series against the Rangers, going 5-for-14 with five RBI and a run scored in his last three starts.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Rehab slowing down

    Harvey (groin) threw a live batting practice session Saturday but experienced soreness afterward, which has slowed his rehab, MLB.com reports.

    Harvey's rehab from a Grade 2 right adductor strain, which has sidelined him since Aug. 11, has seemingly hit a setback. Since he was traded to the Royals in July 2024, injuries have been a recurring issue, limiting Harvey to just 12 appearances this season -- all scoreless. It's unclear whether this latest snag will prevent him from returning before season's end or if he can still make it back with the big-league club.

  • Carlos Correa 3B | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Pops 12th homer

    Correa went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Correa popped his home run in the first inning, bringing his total on the season to 12. He's hit well recently, recording at least one hit in seven of his last eight starts while hitting .278 with two homers, five RBI and five runs scored. Correa continues to hit in a premium spot in the Houston lineup, and he hit third Tuesday night while flipping spots with Jose Altuve.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Another three-hit effort

    Alvarez went 3-for-5 with a double Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Alvarez continued his tear at the plate, as he tallied at least three hits for the fourth time in his last six starts. He has five extra-base hits, five RBI and four runs scored in that span. In 13 games since returning from a hand injury, Alvarez has hit an impressive .444 with three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored.

  • Rangers' Shawn Armstrong: Hangs on for save

    Armstrong picked up the save Tuesday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on two hits and no walks across one inning. He didn't record a strikeout.

    Armstrong inherited a two-run lead but surrendered a solo home run to Jake Bauers. He stranded the game-tying run at first base, getting Christian Yelich to line out with Jackson Chourio on base to end the contest. Armstrong has allowed a run in two of his last five appearances, a streak that followed 11.2 consecutive scoreless innings. He's up to eight saves on the year.

  • Jeff Hoffman RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jeff Hoffman: Nabs win in 10th inning

    Hoffman (9-6) worked a perfect 10th inning Tuesday to pick up the win in a 4-3 victory over the Astros. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

    The Toronto closer was aided by an impressive defensive play by Vladimir Guerrero that erased the phantom runner, Jose Altuve, at third base for the first out, but Hoffman fired eight of 10 pitches for strikes in an efficient performance before Toronto won it in the bottom of the 10th. Hoffman's had a roller coaster of a season that includes serving up a stunning 14 homers in just 61.1 innings, but he may be finding his peak form at the right time for the Jays -- he's delivered five straight scoreless appearances, allowing three hits and a walk in five innings with three strikeouts.

  • Noah Schultz SP | CHW

    White Sox's Noah Schultz: Done for 2025

    Schultz (knee) won't return to the mound in 2025, MLB.com reports.

    Schultz has spent most of the second half of the season on the injured list with a knee injury. The White Sox are taking a cautious approach, and he is no longer expected to pitch in the Arizona Fall League as previously anticipated.

  • Noah Cameron SP | KC

    Royals' Noah Cameron: Loses pitching duel to Cantillo

    Cameron (7-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out eight in seven innings.

    Cameron was a tough-luck loser Tuesday after Joey Cantillo one-upped him with eight scoreless. Cameron couldn't shake Jose Ramirez, who homered off him in the first and later doubled and scored in the fourth. Cameron was able to avoid walks after tying his season high with five his last time out. He also tied a season high with eight strikeouts, his first time reaching that mark since July 13. Cameron has allowed three runs or fewer in five of his last six starts and lines up to complete a two-start week on the road versus the Phillies.
