Duran isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Duran doesn't typically step out of the lineup against left-handed starters, but the Red Sox will give him a day off Wednesday with southpaw Jacob Lopez set to toe the slab for the A's. Jahmai Jones will fill in as Boston's left fielder and bat leadoff.

Skubal didn't factor into the decision Wednesday as the Tigers fell to the Orioles 10-9 in 12 innings, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out six.

His first strikeout of the day -- on the first batter he faced, Taylor Ward -- gave Skubal 1,000 for his career, making him the fastest pitcher in franchise history to reach that milestone. The star southpaw held Baltimore scoreless through six frames as Detroit built a 7-0 lead, but Skubal faded in the seventh and left the mound after 92 pitches (56 strikes), when his bullpen imploded. The quality start was his ninth of the season, but if this was Skubal's final outing as a member of the Tigers -- the trade deadline looms before his next scheduled start -- it was a tough way to go out. Through 96.2 innings in 2026, he's produced a 2.79 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 116:14 K:BB, maintaining his Cy Young-caliber numbers even if a six-week absence due to elbow surgery has kept him out of the conversation for a three-peat.

Wade isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Wade will miss out on the starting nine for a second consecutive game after going just 2-for-28 since the All-Star break. Taylor Trammell, Lucas Spence and Cam Smith will form Houston's outfield trio while Wade sits.

Mayo went 2-for-3 with two walks, a triple, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Tigers.

Getting the start at DH and batting sixth against Tarik Skubal, Mayo's two-run triple off Drew Anderson in the eighth inning was the Orioles' only extra-base hit of the afternoon, tying the game at 7-7 before Baltimore finally won it in the 12th. Over 10 games since the All-Star break, Mayo has gone 8-for-27 (.296) with four extra-base hits, including two homers, along with six RBI and eight runs.

Yesavage (5-5) earned the win Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out four over 6.2 innings.

Yesavage's only blemish came in the fourth inning when Jacob Young drove home a run with an RBI double. The right-hander has now recorded a quality start in five of his last eight outings and continues to miss bats at an impressive rate. Through three starts since the All-Star break, Yesavage has allowed seven runs across 16.2 innings while piling up 22 strikeouts. He owns a 3.73 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 91:45 K:BB over 91.2 innings this season and is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday against the Astros.

The Red Sox recalled Sogard from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.

Sogard will fill the roster spot vacated by Curtis Mead (wrist), who officially moved to the injured list Wednesday. Sogard's defensive versatility could help him get into games, though Anthony Seigler and Romy Gonzalez are the likely candidates to start at second base going forward.

Kittredge recorded the final out of the 12th inning Wednesday to pick up his fourth save of the season in a 10-9 win over the Tigers.

The Orioles were down 7-0 after six innings, but once Tarik Skubal left the game for the Tigers, the visitors' offense woke up. Tyler Wells worked the ninth and 10th innings with the score tied, while Rico Garcia blew a save chance in the 11th, as the back of the Baltimore bullpen remains unsettled -- Kittredge is the fifth different pitcher to collect a save for the team since the All-Star break. The veteran right-hander hasn't allowed an earned run since June 20, but he has been tagged for six unearned runs during that stretch while posting a 1.20 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 13.1 innings. He's racked up one win, three saves and three holds over 15 appearances during that span.

Rogers didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Tigers, coughing up seven runs (four earned) on eight hits over six innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

An anticipated pitchers' duel with Tarik Skubal never materialized, and while Rogers' defense did him no favors, he also got hit hard as half of the knocks off him went for extra bases. The Baltimore southpaw left the game after 94 pitches (69 strikes) with his team in a 7-0 hole, but the Detroit bullpen imploded once Skubal made his own exit. It was the first time since June 9 that Rogers had been tagged for more than two earned runs, and even after Wednesday's outing he sports a 1.99 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 45:12 K:BB in 49.2 innings over his last eight starts. He lines up to make his next trip to the mound at home next week against the Angels.

The Twins recalled Gray from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Gray will give Minnesota's bench an extra bat following Byron Buxton's (hip) move to the injured list. Gray has slashed just .232/.271/.333 across 182 plate appearances with the Twins this season, but his ability to play any infield position will help his chances of occasionally cracking the starting lineup.

The Twins placed Buxton on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right hip impingement.

Buxton's hip has been giving him trouble since the end of June, and this is now the second time in three weeks he's gone on the injured list due to an impingement. Luke Keaschall and Alan Roden figure to start regularly in the outfield while Buxton is out, and the Twins will promote Tristan Gray from Triple-A to bolser their bench depth.
