  • Brett Kerry RP | LAA

    Angels' Brett Kerry: Brought back up to big club

    The Angels called Kerry up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Kerry had been slated to start for Salt Lake on Saturday but was scratched from that outing. That could mean that he'll work in bulk relief Saturday, as Jose Soriano was scratched from his scheduled start for the Angels, and the team is starting Brent Suter as an opener. Kerry has made one appearance -- his MLB debut -- for the Angels this season, allowing two runs on three hits with two strikeouts and one walk over four innings against Arizona on June 17. To make room for him on the 26-man roster, Ryan Johnson was optioned following his start Friday.

  • Jojo Ingrassia SP | BOS

    Tigers' Jojo Ingrassia: Traded to Tigers

    The Red Sox sent Ingrassia to the Tigers on Saturday to complete the Jahmai Jones trade, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Ingrassia has spent the entire season with Boston's High-A affiliate, posting a 3.27 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 44 innings. He'll likely remain at High-A to begin his tenure with the Tigers, but the 24-year-old southpaw could reach Double-A Erie by the end of the year.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Resting up Saturday

    Burger isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

    Burger has notched a base hit in four of his last five games but will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's game. Joc Pederson will pick up a start at first base as a result, moving Brandon Nimmo into the DH spot and opening up right field for Alejandro Osuna.

  • Luis Curvelo RP | TEX

    Rangers' Luis Curvelo: Moved to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Curvelo to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Curvelo was called up from Triple-A on Friday but will now head right back to the minors after giving up four runs in two innings against the Astros. Nolan Kingham will come up from Round Rock to fill the void in the bullpen.

  • Brent Suter RP | LAA

    Angels' Brent Suter: Starting bullpen game

    Suter will start Saturday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    The Angels scratched Jose Soriano from his start Saturday as they look to trade him ahead of Monday's deadline, so Suter will now take the mound to begin the game. The 36-year-old has given up two earned runs in nine innings since the All-Star break and has the ability to go two or three innings before coming out of the game.

  • Jose Soriano SP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Scratched from start

    Soriano was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against the Brewers.

    Soriano isn't dealing with any sort of injury, but the Angels will "take a prudent approach" and keep the right-hander on the bench as they listen to trade offers from other teams ahead of Monday's trade deadline. Brent Suter will now take the mound to begin a bullpen game Saturday.

  • Guardians' Patrick Bailey: Sitting Saturday

    Bailey isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

    After going 0-for-10 with a walk and three strikeouts across his last four games, Bailey will move to the bench for a second straight game while Austin Hedges handles catching duties.

  • Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Recalled to majors

    The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

    The Orioles have an open spot on their pitching staff after sending Dean Kremer to Minnesota on Friday, so they'll bring up Hiraldo to add extra bullpen depth until a fifth starter is needed. Hiraldo gave up four earned runs in 1.2 innings across three appearances with the Orioles back in March before landing on the IL with a shoulder injury. He's given up just one run in 8.1 Triple-A innings since then.

  • Mariners' Stuart Fairchild: Up from Tacoma

    The Mariners selected Fairchild's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

    Fairchild will join the active roster as a replacement for Luke Raley, who landed on the injured list Saturday with an elbow injury. Fairchild has gone just 3-for-19 with an RBI, three runs and two steals in the majors this season, but he's slashed .262/.415/.643 across 53 plate appearances since joining Tacoma on July 10.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Placed on injured list

    The Mariners placed Raley (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Raley has reportedly been battling soreness in his elbow for a while and missed Friday's game because of it, so the Mariners will now place him on the shelf. The severity of his injury is unknown, but he'll likely undergo imaging within the next several days to help determine exactly what he's dealing with and when he might be able to return. In the meantime, Victor Robles is a likely candidate to take over as Seattle's primary right fielder, and Stuart Fairchild will come up from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot.
