The Yankees placed De Los Santos on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right elbow discomfort.

He'll be replaced in the bullpen by lefty Jayvien Sandridge, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. De Los Santos has worked in middle relief over his three stints in the big leagues this season, logging a 1.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 13:12 K:BB in 20 innings.

The White Sox recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Gilbert will provide a fresh arm for the bullpen ahead of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. The left-hander has posted a 4.20 ERA and 17:7 K:BB over 15 frames with the big club this season.

The White Sox placed Houser on the paternity list Thursday.

By rule, Houser will miss the next 1-to-3 games. According to Jack Ankony of SI.com, Houser is still expected to pitch this weekend in Toronto when his next turn through the rotation comes up, though it's not yet clear which day he'll start.

The Yankees selected Sandridge's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

A 26-year-old lefty reliever, Sandridge will be making his MLB debut when he gets into a game. After beginning the season on Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 60-day injured list, Sandridge has been effective since he was cleared to return to action for the affiliate in late May. Over his six appearances prior to his call-up, Sandridge allowed one earned run on four hits and four walks while striking out 13 over seven innings.

Kayfus is batting .318/.386/.583 with 22 extra-base hits, 22 RBI and 20 runs scored over 40 games for Triple-A Columbus.

Kayfus has rocked two minor-league levels in 2025. He lasted just three weeks at Double-A Akron -- where he slashed .364/.475/.591 over 18 games -- before a promotion to the Clippers at the end of April. His primary position is first base, but the organization has him learning corner outfield. He's appeared in seven games (six starts) in left field and 17 (14 starts) in right. While he's currently blocked at first base by Carlos Santana and Kyle Manzardo, the Guardians are getting sub-par production in right field, which could be an option for Kayfus.

Clemens will start at second base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Reds.

Clemens started just once in the Twins' last six games while the team faced off against five left-handed pitchers, but he finds himself in the starting nine for the third consecutive matchup with a righty. Outfielder Harrison Bader, meanwhile, has been on the bench for all three of those matchups with righties, so Bader and Clemens could end up forming a de facto righty/lefty platoon while the Twins have an open spot in the lineup with Royce Lewis (hamstring) on the injured list. Both Clemens and Bader could see their opportunities tail off once Lewis is back in action.

Sabrowski (elbow) allowed two runs on three hits while striking out one over one inning for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Sabrowski, who's battled left shoulder inflammation, continues up the rehab ladder. He threw two outings in the ACL followed by one at Double-A Akron. Tuesday's outing was his third with the Clippers. Sabrowski could be activated any day now.

Bader is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds.

With Bader resting in the series finale, Willi Castro will move to Bader's usual spot in left field, while Kody Clemens enters the lineup at the keystone. Bader brings excellent defense in the outfield, but he's slashing just .176/.275/.353 since the middle of May and has now sat out three straight matchups with right-handed starting pitchers. He could be at risk of losing out on more playing time once Royce Lewis (hamstring) returns from the injured list to bring the Twins' position player group back to full strength.

Jeffers (hand) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Thursday's contest versus the Reds.

Jeffers sat out Wednesday's contest after being struck in his right hand by a foul tip Tuesday. He escaped with merely a bruise and is ready to roll for Thursday's series finale.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Chisholm got the Yankees on the board in the second inning with a 407-foot blast off Jack Kochanowicz, tying the game at 1-1. It's the 10th homer of the year for Chisholm, who's batting .326 with three long balls and four steals in 13 games since returning from a month-long IL stint. Overall, Chisholm is slashing .223/.335/.459 with 25 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 176 plate appearances this season.
