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.

The Rangers placed Carter on the 10-day injured list Saturday with back spasms.

Carter began having issues with his back after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Friday. The Rangers have determined his injury is severe enough to warrant a trip to the IL, so the 22-year-old will now remain on the sidelines until at least Aug. 12. Sam Haggerty is the likely candidate to pick up starts in center field while Carter is on the shelf, and Alejandro Osuna will come up from Triple-A Round Rock to replenish Texas' outfield depth.

The White Sox reinstated Scholtens (elbow) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Scholtens has been on the shelf all season while working his way back from the Tommy John procedure he underwent last March. He posted a 5.25 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 36 innings between High-A and Triple-A during his rehab assignment, and he'll officially remain in Charlotte as organizational depth now that he's fully recovered.

Since being sent down to Triple-A in late June, White has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over 17 innings across four starts. Despite his subpar performance, he'll come up from the minors to make up for the loss of Dan Altavilla (lat). White will presumably take on a long-relief role out of the bullpen.

The White Sox placed Altavilla on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right lat strain.

Altavilla gave up one run in just one-third of an inning during his appearance Friday, and it appears he came away from his outing with a lat injury. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next 15 days while he recovers, and the White Sox will bring up Owen White from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the void in their bullpen.

The Orioles claimed Noda off waivers from the White Sox on Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Noda will keep a 40-man roster spot upon moving to the Orioles, though he will remain in the minors. The 29-year-old has gone just 3-for-34 in the big leagues this season but carries a .194/.390/.366 slash line through 236 plate appearances in Triple-A.

The Tigers optioned Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

After giving up two runs (one earned) and taking the loss Friday, Hanifee will be sent down to the minors in order to make room for the newly acquired Charlie Morton. Hanifee still boasts a 3.10 ERA and 1.32 WHIP through 52.1 innings in 2025, making it likely he'll put on a Tigers uniform again before the end of the season.

O'Neill was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cubs due to an illness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Gunnar Henderson will assume the role of designated hitter while O'Neill takes a day to recover, giving Luis Vazquez an opportunity to start at shortstop while batting ninth.

Mayer received an injection in his right wrist Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Mayer will be shut down from all activities for three days following his injection. Once they see how the 22-year-old responds to his treatment, the Red Sox will begin to plan out his next steps, which will likely involve him heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment at some point.

Pena (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Pena was pulled early from Friday's game after experiencing hamstring cramps during his at-bat in the 10th inning, and the Astros will give him an extra day to recover Saturday. Carlos Correa will shift to shortstop to cover for Pena, opening up third base for Ramon Urias.
