Angels' Davis Daniel: No longer starting Sunday
Daniel will not start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
The Angels had previously named Daniel as the starter for Sunday's series finale, even though he would be pitching on three days' rest after tossing 83 pitches in the first game of a doubleheader with the Yankees on Wednesday. However, the team will now switch course and call up Jack Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City to start Sunday instead of having Daniel take the hill on short rest. Daniel is a candidate to pitch Monday against the Blue Jays on regular rest, though the Angels haven't released their probable starters for the three-game home series.

Angels' Jack Kochanowicz: Making spot start
Kochanowicz will start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
With a rainout forcing the Angels into a doubleheader Wednesday, the team was in need of a starter for Sunday's game and recalled Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City to fill the void. The 23-year-old has made two starts for the Angels this season, surrendering 11 runs across seven frames. He isn't a recommended streaming option for Sunday.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Running, not feeling 100 percent
Moncada (adductor) has been running since being pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment but is still "feeling something there" during his recovery process, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Moncada was returned from his rehab assignment July 22 due to "anticipated soreness" and it wasn't viewed as a setback in his recovery from a left adductor strain. However, the third baseman hasn't shown any significant signs of improvement and is still dealing with lingering soreness. The White Sox have already indicated they don't intend to rush Moncada back, and a timeline for return has yet to be established for the 29-year-old.

Rays' Josh Lowe: Back in action Saturday
Lowe (knee) will start in left field and bat sixth Saturday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Lowe fouled a ball off his right knee during Thursday's game and missed a start Friday, though he was able to enter as a pinch hitter. He'll now return to the starting nine Saturday and look to stay hot after going 6-for-18 with two homers, three RBI and four runs scored since the start of August.

Justin Topa RP | NYY
Twins' Justin Topa: Pulled from rehab stint
Topa (knee) was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Topa has shown decreased velocity recently, and it's been revealed that he's been battling arm fatigue. The right-hander has been on assignment since July 23 as part of his recovery from a tear in the patellar tendon of his left knee. He's yet to make his 2024 debut. While it's unclear how far the arm fatigue will set him back, Topa shouldn't be expected back any time soon.
