  • Dean Kremer SP | BAL

    Orioles' Dean Kremer: Will play catch again Tuesday

    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Kremer (forearm) played catch Sunday and will do so again Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Kremer was removed from his start in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers after three innings due to right forearm soreness. An MRI came back clean, and while he will miss his next turn in the rotation, the hope remains that Kremer could avoid a stint on the 15-day injured list.

  • Rays' Caleb Boushley: Claimed by Rays

    The Rays claimed Boushley off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.

    Boushley has posted a 6.02 ERA in 43.1 innings during his time with the Rangers this season. The 31-year-old has minor-league options remaining will report to Durham for now, but he could join the major-league club later this month.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Held out Tuesday

    Arias (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Royals.

    Arias had to depart Monday's contest with right wrist inflammation. While he managed to avoid a serious injury, he will be forced to miss at least one start. Brayan Rocchio will slide over to shortstop and Daniel Schneemann will handle second base for the Guardians on Tuesday.

  • Joey Loperfido LF | TOR

    Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Recalled, in lineup Tuesday

    The Blue Jays recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

    Loperfido is drawing the start in left field and will bat eighth in Tuesday's series opener versus the Astros. He's hit well when given an opportunity with the big club this season, slashing .358/.409/.506 with three home runs in 30 contests. Loperfido could see reps in the outfield against righties while Bo Bichette (knee) is out, if the Blue Jays elect to use Addison Barger at third base regularly.

  • Royals' Stephen Kolek: Receiving another start

    Kolek is slated to start Thursday's game against the Guardians at Progressive Field.

    With Seth Lugo (back) recently joining Cole Ragans (shoulder) on the injured list, Kolek will stick around with the Royals to make a second turn through the rotation following his call-up from Triple-A Omaha last Thursday. During his start in this past Saturday's 11-2 win over the Twins, Kolek went seven strong innings and struck four batters while permitting two earned runs on six hits and one walk. He now maintains a respectable 3.88 ERA over 92.2 innings between San Diego and Kansas City, though it's supported by a weak 9.3 K-BB%.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Lands on IL with sprained knee

    The Blue Jays placed Bichette on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left knee sprain.

    Bichette appeared to tweak something on a slide into home plate during Saturday's game against the Yankees. He finished that contest but was then out of the lineup Sunday, and subsequent testing has revealed a sprain. The severity of the sprain isn't known at this time, so it's uncertain whether Bichette has a chance to return when eligible Sept. 17. Ernie Clement is starting at shortstop Tuesday versus the Astros, but Isiah Kiner-Falefa should also be in the mix for starts at the position while Bichette is shelved.

  • J.P. France RP | HOU

    Astros' J.P. France: Poised for recall

    The Astros are expected to recall France from Triple-A Sugar Land during their series in Toronto that runs through Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    France's last appearance with Sugar Land was a start, but his three outings prior to that came out of the bullpen, and he's expected to fill a multi-inning relief role with Houston. The right-hander missed the first half of this season while recovering from shoulder surgery and holds a 6.38 ERA and 23:20 K:BB over 24 innings during his time with Sugar Land.

  • Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Expects to make next start

    Sugano said Tuesday that his right foot hasn't swelled up as much as anticipated, and he expects to be ready to make his next scheduled start, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Sugano was lifted from Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers after being struck on the foot by a comebacker, but the injury doesn't look like it will cost him any additional time. The right-hander is tentatively schedule to start Sunday's game in Toronto.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Kyle Harrison: Could be added to roster Wednesday

    Harrison is headed to Sacramento to join the Red Sox and could be recalled from Triple-A Worcester prior to Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

    The Red Sox have not yet announced a starter for Wednesday's game, though manager Alex Cora said that lefty Payton Tolle is expected to be used in some capacity. Harrison could also be in the mix, perhaps in a tandem start with Tolle. The left-handed Harrison pitched one inning with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday after overcoming an ankle injury, so he would be pitching on two days' rest Wednesday. Harrison holds a 3.75 ERA and 50:27 K:BB over 50.1 innings with Worcester since the Red Sox acquired him from the Giants on June 15.

  • Jose Urquidy RP | DET

    Tigers' Jose Urquidy: One more rehab outing on tap

    Urquidy (elbow) is set to make one more rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday or Wednesday before being evaluated for a potential return, MLB.com reports.

    Urquidy has already made a total of nine rehab appearances, including five with the Mud Hens. The veteran righty looked sharp in his last two outings, logging a total of six scoreless innings with six strikeouts. Urquidy, who is working his way back from June 2024 Tommy John surgery, last pitched in the majors in 2023, so the Tigers are likely to be very cautious with his return. He'll likely slot into a bullpen role to close out this season, though he figures to compete for a 2026 rotation spot next spring.
