The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

The 25-year-old will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot following Zebby Matthews' (shoulder) return from the IL. Adams carries a 6.00 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through nine MLB innings on the year.

The Twins reinstated Matthews (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

After missing more than a month with a shoulder strain, Matthews will return from the IL and start Saturday's game versus Colorado. The 25-year-old is coming off a brilliant minor-league start, during which he struck out nine batters in four shutout frames, and he'll be welcomed back to the big leagues by a Rockies offense that ranks 27th in MLB with a .673 OPS this season. Travis Adams was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Caglianone isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Miami.

Caglianone will grab a seat on the bench after going 1-for-4 with a walk in Friday's game. John Rave will take over in right field and bat eighth.

Isbel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.

Isbel's hitting streak is up to five games after he tallied a single in Friday's contest, but the Royals will keep him on the bench Saturday while Tyler Tolbert starts in center field.

The Yankees designated Garcia for assignment Saturday.

Garcia was claimed off waivers from the Mets on Monday, but he'll now be jettisoned from yet another New York team's 40-man roster after making just one appearance for the Yankees. The 31-year-old has surrendered three runs over 7.1 innings this season but owns a 6.70 ERA in his MLB career.

The Yankees recalled Winans from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Winans owns a 1.19 ERA and 1.03 WHIP through 60.2 innings in the minors but has given up six runs in 6.1 MLB frames. He will fill the void in New York's bullpen left by Rico Garcia, who was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

Kirk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Kirk will get a day off Saturday after going 2-for-4 while scoring a run in Friday's series opener. Tyler Heineman will catch instead for starter Eric Lauer and bat ninth.

Simpson went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Friday against the Orioles.

Simpson has occupied the leadoff spot for the Rays in each of the last two games -- the first coming before the All-Star break -- and has gone a combined 4-for-8 with two runs scored. His ability to get on base has extended well beyond that small sample, as he's currently riding a 12-game hitting streak during which he has gone 18-for-44 with two RBI, six runs scored and four stolen bases.

Jansen went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two walks Friday against the Orioles.

Jansen popped the home run in his first plate appearance of the game, bringing his total to 10 on the season. That surpasses his total from 2024, and he's also shown some signs of hitting for a better average by going 13-for-50 (.260) with 11 RBI and 10 runs scored across the last month. Jansen continues to draw around four starts per week behind the plate for the Rays.

Loperfido went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Giants.

The 26-year-old outfielder was out of the starting lineup for the last three games before the All-Star break due to an illness, but Loperfido looked 100 percent healthy when the Jays resumed their schedule. He's made a big impact since joining the big-league roster in early July, going 7-for-17 (.412) with a homer, two runs and six RBI in six contests.
