    Red Sox's Bailey Horn: Joining Boston bullpen

    The Red Sox recalled Horn from Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Horn was acquired via trade from the White Sox back in April and has posted a 1.69 ERA and 19:9 K:BB over 16 frames during his time at Worcester. The left-handed reliever will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

    Astros' Luis Garcia: Starts rehab assignment

    Garcia (elbow) has been sent to the Astros' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

    It will be the first game action for Garcia since he underwent Tommy John surgery last May. The 27-year-old will need most, if not all, of his 30-day rehab window to get built up, but he could prove to be a nice boost to the Astros' rotation after the All-Star break. Garcia holds a career 3.61 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 364:112 K:BB across 352 innings.

  • Rangers' Alejandro Rosario: Bumped up to High-A

    Rosario was promoted from Single-A Down East to High-A Hickory on Tuesday.

    A fifth-round selection in last year's draft out of Miami, Rosario has big-time stuff, but his 7.11 ERA and 1.63 WHIP as a junior led to him sliding in the draft. The Rangers gave him a comfy assignment to the lowest full-season level of the minors, and Rosario dominated, logging a 2.11 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and a 69:5 K:BB in 47 innings across 10 starts.

  • Red Sox's Yoeilin Cespedes: Bumped to Single-A

    Cespedes was promoted from the Florida Complex League to Single-A Salem on Tuesday.

    He hasn't gotten into a game yet, which is a bit odd, so perhaps he's dealing with something, although there has been no reporting on that front. Cespedes slashed .319/.400/.615 with five home runs and an 18.1 percent strikeout rate in 25 games in the FCL. He split time between second base and shortstop, but considering he's just an average runner now and is listed at 5-foot-8, 181 pounds, it seems likely that he'll end up at the keystone long term.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Two hits, stolen base in win

    Schanuel went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Detroit.

    Schanuel recorded singles in two of his first three at-bats, driving home Zach Neto on the latter before also swiping his second bag of the campaign. The first baseman has now hit safely in three straight contests, while Thursday's performance marked his fifth multi-hit performance this month. However, he's still batting just .237 in June with three homers, eight RBI and nine runs scored.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Homer, two hits in win

    Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

    Rengifo increased the Angels' lead to five runs with a two-out, two-run blast in the bottom of the fifth inning, giving the second baseman his first long ball since May 24. The performance marked his eighth multi-hit performance this month and the third in his four contests, raising his season batting average to .312. The home run was Rengifo's fifth of the campaign.

  • Justin Turner DH | CHC

    Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Productive in rout

    Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

    The hit was a fluky one -- he squibbed a ball down the first-base line and it caromed off the bag and away from Ben Rice rather than rolling foul -- but Turner still put together a productive night in a 9-2 rout. The veteran slugger has found a groove at the plate, going 10-for-25 (.400) over the last eight games with a double, a homer, four RBI, seven runs and an 8:6 BB:K. Despite the surge, Turner's .715 OPS on the season would be his lowest mark since 2013.

  • Davis Daniel RP | CIN

    Angels' Davis Daniel: Debuts with eight-inning gem

    Daniel (1-0) picked up the win over the Tigers on Thursday, pitching eight scoreless innings while striking out eight.

    Daniel was phenomenal in his first career start, generating 13 swings and misses while allowing only three runners to reach second base over his eight innings of work. The 27-year-old threw 21 of 26 first-pitch strikes and didn't walk a batter. Daniel has almost certainly earned himself another start with Thursday's dominant performance.

  • Zack Weiss RP | STL

    Twins' Zack Weiss: Starting rehab assignment

    Weiss (shoulder) has been sent to the Twins' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

    Weiss has been sidelined all season with a teres major strain in his right shoulder but has been cleared for game action. Given all the time he's missed, the reliever's rehab assignment figures to be a lengthy one.

  • Jack Flaherty SP | DET

    Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Allows three homers in loss

    Flaherty (5-5) took the loss against the Angels on Thursday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

    Flaherty got tagged for a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the second before proceeding to strike out six of the next nine batters he faced. However, the right-hander would go on to surrender two more long balls on the night as the Tigers failed to back him with anything on offense. Flaherty had allowed one run or fewer in four consecutive starts coming in, and no runs in three of his previous four. The three home runs he gave up Thursday also marked a season high.
