  • Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Joins active roster

    The Rays recalled Feduccia from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    Feduccia will join the Rays to provide some much-needed offensive help behind the plate after logging an .866 OPS in 333 plate appearances with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Los Angeles prior to being dealt to Tampa Bay ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Now that he's up with the big club, the 28-year-old will most likely work in the strong side of a platoon at catcher with Nick Fortes.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Removed after HBP

    India was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit on the left elbow by a pitch, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

    India was able to run for himself and play defense after taking a 95-mile-per-hour fastball off his elbow in the third inning, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter when it was his turn to hit again in the fifth. The Royals will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of the injury, but the fact that he initially remained in the game suggests the damage isn't severe.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Beginning rehab assignment

    Burger (quad) began a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Saturday.

    Burger got back to hitting last Saturday after landing on the injured list July 16 with a left quad strain, and he said his goal was to return to the starting lineup by the time the Rangers begin their series against the Phillies next weekend. Barring any setbacks, his return to competitive action Saturday keeps him on pace to meet that expectation.

  • Luis Guerrero RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Luis Guerrero: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Red Sox transferred Guerrero (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    Guerrero landed on the injured list in late June with a strained right elbow, and his move to the IL will ensure he remains on the shelf until at least Aug. 27. He'll also cede his spot on the 40-man roster to Nick Burdi (hip), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned to Triple-A.

  • Nick Burdi RP | NYM

    Red Sox's Nick Burdi: Activated, sent down to Triple-A

    The Red Sox reinstated Burdi (hip) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Worcester.

    A bruised foot caused Burdi to land on the injured list June 3, but a hip injury suffered at Worcester caused him to move to the 60-day IL. He'll now come off the IL following a minimum-length stay, though the Red Sox will keep him in the minors for the time being. The 32-year-old has thrown 5.1 shutout innings for Boston this season and sports a 1.23 ERA through 22 Triple-A frames.

  • Zack Kelly RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Zack Kelly: Reinstated, optioned to Worcester

    The Red Sox reinstated Kelly (oblique) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Worcester.

    The Red Sox originally sent Kelly down to the minors in late June, but his option was rescinded when he landed on the injured list with an oblique injury. Now that he's been given a clean bill of health, he'll head down to Triple-A once more and serve as organizational bullpen depth.

  • Jose Urena SP | LAA

    Twins' Jose Urena: Drawing start Sunday

    Urena will start Sunday's game against Cleveland, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    The 33-year-old righty will be filling in for Simeon Woods Richardson, whom the Twins will give a few extra days of rest before his next start. Urena has pitched to a 5.40 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 18.1 innings between the Dodgers, Mets and Blue Jays this season, and he'll likely aim to get through three or four frames Sunday before turning the game over to Minnesota's bullpen.

  • Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Next start delayed

    Woods Richardson will no longer start Sunday's game against the Guardians, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    The Twins will give Woods Richardson a few extra days of rest after the 24-year-old opened the second half of the season with a 7.04 ERA and 2.09 WHIP through 7.2 innings over two starts. Jose Urena will take the mound to begin Sunday's contest instead; meanwhile, Minnesota has yet to announce when Woods Richardson will make his next start.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Out again Saturday

    Jung (calf) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

    Jung will take a third straight day off to recover from a sore calf. Josh Smith will pick up another start at third base as a result, with Rowdy Tellez starting at first.

  • Rangers' Alejandro Osuna: Rejoins Rangers

    The Rangers recalled Osuna from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    With Evan Carter set to miss at least the next 10 days with back spasms, the Rangers will bring Osuna back into their outfielder room to fill the open roster spot. He has slashed an impressive .293/.473/.439 through 55 plate appearances in Triple-A, but he carries just a .517 OPS in the big leagues. The 22-year-old will get a chance to start during his first day back in the majors, but Sam Haggerty figures to receive the largest uptick in playing time until Carter returns.
