    Rays' Alex Cook: Joining big-league bullpen

    The Rays recalled Cook from Triple-A Durham Friday.

    He'll fill the roster spot vacated by the injured Shane McClanahan (back). Cook has posted a 3.78 ERA and 37:12 K:BB over 33.1 innings with Durham this season. He was added to the 40-man roster last offseason and will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

  • Mets' Freddy Peralta: Scratched from Friday's start

    The Mets have scratched Peralta from Friday's scheduled start versus the Marlins as trade interest in the hurler heats up, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

    A trade does not appear imminent, but Peralta is a virtual lock to be dealt before Monday's deadline and the Mets don't want to risk him getting injured. The club has not yet revealed who will start Friday in Peralta's place. The Cubs, Rays, Phillies, Brewers and Atlanta are among the teams known to have trade interest in Peralta, who is a pending free agent.

  • Athletics' Jonathan Ornelas: Called up to A's

    The Athletics selected Ornelas' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

    Ornelas recently signed a minor-league deal with the A's, and eight days later he will join the big-league club in Sacramento. The 26-year-old was most recently featured in the majors in 2025 with both Texas and Atlanta. With Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) not due back for some time, Ornelas will provide depth in the middle infield for the Athletics.

  • Mike Soroka SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Making rehab start Tuesday

    Soroka (glute) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    Soroka is slated to throw up to five innings and 60 pitches in the outing. It will be his first time appearing in a game since he went down with a left glute strain in late June. The right-hander could be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation after Tuesday's start, though the club might prefer Soroka to get stretched out further before reinstating him. He boasts a 3.07 ERA and 79:17 K:BB over 82 innings covering 15 starts for Arizona this season.

  • Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Set to be optioned

    The Rockies will option Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Friday's contest versus the Royals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    He'll be cleared off the active roster to make space for the return of Brenton Doyle (groin) from the injured list. The Rockies have been carrying three catchers but will revert to a two-catcher setup, with Brett Sullivan backing up Hunter Goodman.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | CHW

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Slated for activation Friday

    The Rockies will activate Doyle (groin) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Royals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Doyle has been sidelined since late May, first due to an oblique strain but more recently because of a strained groin. However, he has gone 10-for-21 with a home run since resuming his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, clearing the way for his return. Doyle was not being used as an everyday player when he got hurt, and it might take the Rockies trading another outfielder to alter his playing time outlook.

  • Taitn Gray C | TB

    Rays' Taitn Gray: Overcomes elbow surgery

    Single-A Charleston activated Gray (elbow) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Gray wound up missing nearly two months due to midseason elbow surgery but has completed a two-week rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 18-year-old was taking the minor leagues by storm before going down, as he's slashing .275/.394/.456 with six home runs, three doubles, four triples, 30 RBI and four stolen bases over 198 plate appearances for Charleston.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Adames went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

    Adames singled in the second inning before coming around to score. He also reached base on a fielder's choice in the seventh and stole second, logging his fourth stolen base of the season. The veteran shortstop has recorded a hit in six straight games and is now batting .214 with 16 runs scored, 13 RBI, four home runs and three stolen bases across 95 plate appearances in July. Overall, he's slashing .227/.281/.425 with 56 runs scored, 45 RBI and 18 long balls in 437 plate appearances this season.

  • Rays' Slater de Brun: Recovers from wrist surgery

    Single-A Charleston activated de Brun (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    After recovering from December wrist surgery, de Brun completed a two-week rehab assignment with the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. The 19-year-old outfielder was part of Tampa Bay's compensation for trading Shane Baz to the Orioles last winter, and he's gone 10-for-22 (.455) with two doubles, four RBI, three stolen bases and six runs scored over his first seven career minor-league games.

  • Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Multi-hit effort in win

    Eldridge went 2-for-5 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

    Eldridge singled in the first inning and added another base hit in the third, marking his first multi-hit performance since July 18. The 21-year-old is batting .213 with 12 runs scored, 10 RBI, five home runs, a stolen base and 15:35 BB:K in 104 plate appearances in July. Overall, he's slashing .253/.353/.451 with 35 runs scored, 26 RBI, 11 long balls and a stolen base across 275 plate appearances this season.
