    After going 3-for-4 in the matinee, Correa launched a solo home run off Drew Thorpe in the nightcap, tying the game,2-2. The 29-year-old shortstop now has at least one hit in 12 of his last 13 games, going 17-for-46 (.370) with five home runs in that span. With his current hot streak, Correa's boosted his slash line to .310/.379/.526 with 13 homers, 47 RBI and 50 runs scored through 312 plate appearances this season.

  • Jake Eder RP | LAD

    White Sox's Jake Eder: Sent to Charlotte

    The White Sox returned Eder to Triple-A Charlotte after Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

    Eder joined the White Sox as the 27th man for Wednesday's twin bill, though he will now return to the minors without appearing in a game. However, his move to Charlotte will act as a promotion of sorts, as the 25-year-old southpaw had spent the entire season with Double-A Birmingham prior to Wednesday.

  • Jhoan Duran RP | PHI

    Twins' Jhoan Duran: Nabs 14th save

    Duran picked up the save in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox, striking out a pair in a perfect ninth inning.

    Duran's held opponents scoreless in his last seven appearances, striking out seven while notching three saves in that span. Overall, the right-hander's ERA is down to 3.03 with a 0.98 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 29.2 innings this year.

  • Pablo Lopez SP | MIN

    Twins' Pablo Lopez: Better in no-decision

    Lopez allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over five innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the White Sox. He struck out five.

    While he failed to earn the win, it was a much better outing from Lopez after he allowed six runs on eight hits over five innings in his last start against the Astros. Overall, it's been an inconsistent year so far for Lopez, who'll carry a disappointing 5.11 ERA into the All-Star break. However, a 1.18 WHIP, 121:23 K:BB and an xERA of 3.38 indicate that Lopez could be due for some positive regression in the second half.

  • Drew Thorpe SP | CHW

    White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Nets fourth straight quality start

    Thorpe didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Minnesota in the second game of a doubleheader, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk through six innings. He struck out one.

    Thorpe was cruising Wednesday, holding the Twins to just one hit through five scoreless innings. However, the rookie right-hander would give up back-to-back homers to Brooks Lee and Carlos Correa in the sixth, allowing Minnesota to tie the game, 2-2. Still, it was another solid outing from Thorpe -- he's now delivered four straight quality starts, allowing just five runs over 24.1 innings in that span. Overall, Thorpe is 3-1 with a 3.58 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 19:15 K:BB through his first six starts (32.2 innings). He's currently slated for a road matchup with the Royals in his next outing following the All-Star break.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Idle Wednesday

    Jansen isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

    After going 0-for-9 with three walks and three strikeouts, Jansen will get a day to regroup Wednesday while Alejandro Kirk starts behind the plate and bats seventh.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Taking seat Wednesday

    Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Tyler Nevin will draw the start at first base while Soderstrom heads to the bench for the second time in four games. The 22-year-old has fallen into a rut at the plate over his last 10 contests, going 6-for-37 (.162 average) with a home run and three RBI.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATH

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Back in action

    Heim (neck) will start at catcher and bat seventh Wednesday versus the Angels.

    Neck stiffness caused Heim to be scratched from Texas' lineup ahead of Tuesday's contest, but he seems to be feeling well enough to return behind the plate Wednesday. The 29-year-old has slashed .360/.346/.600 with a homer and three RBI since the beginning of July.

  • Henry Lalane SP | SF

    Yankees' Henry Lalane: Makes season debut

    Lalane (undisclosed) was reinstated from the rookie-level Florida Complex League Yankees' 7-day injured list Thursday.

    He made his 2024 debut Thursday, tossing one inning and giving up two runs on one hit and one walk. Despite missing the first two months of the FCL season, the 20-year-old lefty remains one of the Yankees' top lower-level pitching prospects after striking out 34 batters over 21.2 innings in rookie ball in 2023.

  • Jo Adell RF | CLE

    Angels' Jo Adell: Getting Wednesday off

    Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Adell is slashing just .143/.200/.250 with two RBI since the beginning of July. He'll get a day to regroup Wednesday while Kevin Pillar starts in right field and bats fourth.
