MLB Player News

The Red Sox activated Guerrero (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, per Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Guerrero will return to the big-league club after being sidelined since Sept. 1. Through 38 games this season, the 35-year-old owns a 3.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB over 38.2 innings. Boston optioned Wyatt Olds to Triple-A Worcester to make room for Guerrero on the active roster.

Winn is absent from the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Washington.

Winn will ride the pine for Sunday's series finale after going a combined 1-for-7 through the first two games against the Nationals. Thomas Saggese will play shortstop and bat sixth for the Cardinals.

Rocchio (leg) is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Athletics.

After exiting Saturday's game early with left leg tightness, Rocchio will ride the bench for Sunday's series finale. Angel Genao will take over at shortstop and bat ninth for Cleveland.

Arrighetti could be a candidate to pitch in bulk relief behind starter Spencer Miles in Sunday's game against the Rangers, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Considering that Miles hasn't tossed more than two innings or 44 pitches in an appearance since the beginning of August, he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order. Arrighetti will be available on four days' rest and could be called upon to cover multiple frames. Since being acquired from the Astros on Aug. 3, Arrighetti has made six appearances (two starts) for Toronto and has submitted a 6.20 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Cortes is absent from the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Guardians.

Cortes has slashed just .136/.208/.182 over his last seven games and will receive a breather for Sunday's series finale. Henry Bolte will shift over to left field for the A's while Denzel Clarke patrols center and bats eighth.

Crochet (shoulder) threw a two-inning side session Saturday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Crochet continues to build up in side sessions in the hopes he can help the Red Sox as a reliever over the final week of the regular season and into the playoffs. The left-hander could face hitters at Fenway Park early this week in advance of a potential return.

Aranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Aranda is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak, during which he has three homers and a 1.069 OPS, but he'll head to the bench for the series finale versus Boston. Ryan Vilade is starting at first base and batting second against southpaw Patrick Sandoval on Sunday.

Jensen is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Jensen will rest for Sunday's series finale after striking out six times over the first two games against Pittsburgh. Luke Maile will be behind the plate and batting eighth for Kansas City.

Houck (elbow) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits while striking two over 3.1 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

This was Houck's fourth and final rehab outing, and he could rejoin the team next week. He didn't have enough time to build up as a starter, but Houck could be an option out of the bullpen during a six-game home stand to wrap up the regular season.

Pasquantino is absent from the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Pirates.

Despite recording back-to-back multi-hit games, Pasquantino will take a breather for Sunday's series finale against Pittsburgh. Salvador Perez will start at first base and bat cleanup for the Royals.
