Wong was Boston's catching leader the last two seasons but lost the job to Carlos Narvaez early in 2025 when he landed on the injured list with a finger injury.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Idle Saturday

    Wells isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Wells will rest his legs Saturday after hitting his 15th home run of the season during Friday's loss. Ben Rice will take his place behind the plate and bat sixth for the Yankees.

  • Aaron Judge RF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Rare day off Saturday

    Judge isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Clubs 15th homer

    Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 12-5 loss to the Phillies.

    The Yankees slugged four homers on the night but all four were solo shots, including Wells' long ball in the second inning off Taijuan Walker. The 26-year-old backstop has supplied his usual power in July but not much else, slashing .229/.255/.521 over 14 contests with four of his 15 homers on the year, and 10 of his 55 RBI.

  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Contributes in return

    Haggerty went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

    Haggerty singled to lead off the first inning, stole his 10th base of the season and scored the Rangers' first run. He later doubled in the team's fourth run. Haggerty was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday and was in the starting lineup against a left-hander. He normally has has a spot in the lineup against southpaws.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Fans seven in no-decision

    Warren didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 12-5 loss to the Phillies, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

    The right-hander fired 57 of 89 pitches for strikes as he fell one out short of his fourth quality start of the season, and Warren really made just one mistake, which Kyle Schwarber ripped over the right-center field fence for a two-run blast in the fifth inning. Warren has walked multiple batters in seven straight outings, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 4.79 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 34:21 K:BB over 35.2 innings. He'll be a volatile fantasy option in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rays.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Kicks off rehab assignment

    Pederson (hand) is two games into a rehab assignment and has gone 2-for-6 with one walk and a run scored for Double-A Frisco.

    Pederson kicked off the assignment Thursday as the designated hitter and followed up at first base Friday. Per MLB.com, Pederson is on track to return for the Rangers' next road trip, which begins Monday against the Angels.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Fans seven in five shutout innings

    Eovaldi (8-3) picked up the win Friday against Atlanta, allowing three hits and four walks in five scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    Eovaldi, who was scratched prior to his last scheduled start with a back issue, circumvented some trouble while tossing just one clean inning and walking a season-high four. It's possible the Rangers are becoming more cautious about Eovaldi's workload, as the veteran right-hander has reached the 90-pitch plateau in just one of his four starts in July. Eovaldi has still been magnificent when healthy in 2025, working to a 1.50 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 101:18 K:BB over 96 innings, and he's next set to toe the slab against the division-rival Angels in Anaheim.

  • Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Homers twice Friday

    Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

    Rodriguez has racked up three consecutive multi-hit efforts, and he has three homers in that span. The outfielder is hitting .303 (10-for-33) over eight games since the All-Star break, continuing the consistency he showed prior to the pause in the season. Rodriguez is up to a .256/.315/.430 slash line with 17 homers, 20 stolen bases, 54 RBI, 68 runs scored, 17 doubles and three triples across 103 games.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Steady in no-decision

    Woo allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Friday.

    Woo allowed a two-run double to Jo Adell in the first inning but settled in from there. While he went a third start in a row without a win, Woo was able to bounce back pretty well after getting tagged for five runs (four earned) over six innings in his last start versus the Astros. The right-hander continues to be one of the steadiest innings-eating pitchers in the majors -- he still has yet to have a start shorter than six innings this season. He's maintained a 2.91 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 121:24 K:BB across 126.2 innings over 20 starts. His next outing is projected to be on the road versus the Athletics next week.
