Story went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 12-1 rout of the Yankees.

The shortstop got the Red Sox on the board with a two-run double in the third inning before launching his 20th homer of the season in the fifth, a solo shot off Will Warren. It's the first time since he left Colorado after the 2021 campaign that Story has reached the 20-homer plateau, and the blast gave him his fourth 20-20 season. His next long ball will be the 200th of his career.

Crochet (14-5) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over seven innings in a 12-1 rout of the Yankees. He struck out 11.

The southpaw struck out double-digit batters for the first time in August and the sixth time in 2025, racking up 31 called or swinging strikes among his 103 pitches (72 total strikes). Crochet has given up two runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts, posting a 2.47 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 63:10 K:BB over 51 innings during that stretch. He'll look to keep building his case for the AL Cy Young Award in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Baltimore.

Martin (calf) left Saturday's live batting practice session early and will not be reinstated from the injured list anytime soon, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Martin seemingly sustained a setback Saturday in his recovery from a left calf strain. The reliever has been on the shelf since July 26 and was initially given a 4-to-6-week timeline for return. However, the 39-year-old will likely need more than six weeks and shouldn't be expected back until mid-September, at the earliest.

Harris is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Harris will take a seat Saturday for the first time since being called up Aug. 15, opening a start for Luis Urias at third base. Harris has gone 5-for-24 (.208) with four runs scored and three RBI since the promotion.

Soriano (personal) was moved from the paternity list to the restricted list Saturday.

Per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Soriano traveled back to the Dominican Republic for the birth of his child and required four days off -- one more than the maximum allowed on the paternity list. The expectation is that Soriano will join the team Sunday and make his scheduled start Monday at Texas.

Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Saturday that Bradish (elbow) will likely be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox in Baltimore, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 28-year-old has been on the shelf all season while completing his recovery from June 2024 Tommy John surgery, and he finally appears to have reached the finish line. During the sixth start of his rehab assignment Wednesday, Bradish tossed 89 pitches while covering 4.2 innings and allowing three earned runs on six hits and two walks for Triple-A Norfolk. Overall, Bradish produced a 4.91 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB in 22 innings over stops with Norfolk and Double-A Chesapeake during his assignment.

Canzone (arm) is not in the starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday.

Canzone hasn't played since Monday, when he was removed from a game against Philadelphia after being hit by a pitch on his left arm. The outfielder had X-rays taken, which came back negative, but it's unclear when he'll be ready to play again. When he is healthy enough to be in the lineup, Canzone could face a challenge to his playing time from Victor Robles, who was activated off the 60-day IL on Saturday.

The Royals placed Falter on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a left biceps contusion.

During his relief appearance in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Tigers, Falter took a 91.5 mile-per-hour line drive off his arm on his fifth pitch of the night. He proceeded to stay in the game and was ultimately charged with four earned runs on six hits and one walk over two innings, but he was dealing with enough swelling following the contest for the Royals to shut him down. Jonathan Bowlan was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move to take Falter's spot in the bullpen.

The Royals recalled Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Bowlan rejoins the big-league bullpen after three weeks at Omaha, filling the spot vacated by Bailey Falter (bicep), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Bowlan has a 4.73 ERA and a 24:11 K:BB across 26.2 innings for the Royals this season.

White Sox manager Will Venable said Tauchman is getting a precautionary day off Saturday due to lower-body soreness, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

The White Sox are going through a stretch of 17 games in 17 days, and the team is looking to get some of its everyday players additional rest. Tauchman will get a breather Saturday as he tends to some minor lower-body soreness. Michael Taylor is playing right field Saturday while Andrew Benintendi slots in at DH.
