MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX
Rangers' MacKenzie Gore: Pitches well in loss
Gore (6-9) allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out nine over seven innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Rays.
Gore did not allow a hit for 6.2 innings after giving up two home runs in the first inning, but the Rangers never escaped that early deficit. This was Gore's longest outing since June 25, when he also went seven frames, and is just his second appearance of the season without issuing a walk. The 27-year-old's next outing is scheduled to come against the Giants at home.

Travis d'Arnaud C | LAA
Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Back from IL
The Angels reinstated d'Arnaud (foot) from the injured list Wednesday.
The Angels had been aiming to get d'Arnaud back on the active roster over the weekend, but he'll rejoin the team a few days early to replenish the depth the team lost by trading Logan O'Hoppe to the Rangers on Wednesday. D'Arnaud hasn't been especially productive since joining the Angels in 2025, slashing just .198/.262/.339 across 271 plate appearances with the organization. However, with Tyler Heineman representing his only healthy competition on the big-league roster, d'Arnaud should get his fair share of starts.

Casey Legumina RP | TB
Rays' Casey Legumina: Effective as opener
Legumina allowed one hit and no walks in 1.2 scoreless innings while serving as the opener against the Rangers. He registered no strikeouts.
After struggling with Seattle, where he had a 4.63 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in eight appearances, Legumina has been effective since joining the Rays. The right-hander has a 3.51 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB in 33.1 innings for Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old has opened four times for the Rays, including his last two appearances, and has gone more than an inning and given up one run or fewer in both of those starts.

Jose Corniell RP | TEX
Rangers' Jose Corniell: Heads to 60-day IL
The Rangers transferred Corniell (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
A right flexor strain sent Corniell to the IL on July 21, and he'll now be ineligible to pitch until Sept. 19 after moving to the 60-day IL. The move will free up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Chase Silseth, whom the Rangers acquired in a trade with the Angels on Wednesday.

Danny Jansen C | TEX
Rangers' Danny Jansen: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Rangers transferred Jansen (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Jansen has been on the injured list since June 6 due to a strained right forearm. His move to the 60-day IL will make him ineligible to return until Aug. 5, though he's likely to remain on the shelf beyond that after suffering a setback in his recovery last week. The Rangers traded for Logan O'Hoppe to fill the vacancy on the 40-man roster.

Rangers' Logan O'Hoppe: Traded to Rangers, sent to Triple-A
The Angels traded O'Hoppe and Chase Silseth to the Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league infielder Angel Arredondo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
O'Hoppe had been losing playing time with the Angels to Tyler Heineman, and the former will now find a new home with the Rangers, who are currently navigating injuries to Danny Jansen (forearm) and Kyle Higashioka (forearm). O'Hoppe's offensive output has taken a step back this season, as he's slashing just .209/.271/.295 with four homers, 23 RBI and 20 runs scored through 256 plate appearances, so the Rangers will send him down to Triple-A Round Rock to right the ship, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. If O'Hoppe rediscovers his swing in the minors, he could be brought back up to the majors later this year.

Max Clark CF | DET
Tigers' Max Clark: Heating up after slow start
Clark, who homered in Wednesday's game against Triple-A Columbus, is batting .338 with five long balls in 19 games this month for Toledo.
Clark scuffled a little bit through the end of May and had only two home runs in his first 50 games of the season, but he's now gone deep nine times in his last 40 contests and is batting .276 with an .801 OPS overall. The talented 21-year-old remains one of the top prospects in baseball, and his recent stretch could set him up for his MLB debut later in the year, particularly if the Tigers fade out of contention and decide to prioritize playing some of their younger talent.

Chase Silseth RP | TEX
Rangers' Chase Silseth: Shipped to Texas
The Rangers acquired Silseth and catcher Logan O'Hoppe from the Angels on Wednesday in exchange for infielder Angel Arredondo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Silseth has found success in a relief role for the Angels this season, posting a 2.72 ERA and 48:22 K:BB over 39.2 innings. Though he's unlikely to unseat All-Star Jacob Latz as the Rangers' closer, Silseth should continue to work fairly often in high-leverage situations with his new squad.

Drew Anderson RP | DET
Tigers' Drew Anderson: Charged with blown save Wednesday
Anderson allowed two runs on a hit and a walk across 1.1 innings of relief and was charged with a blown save in Wednesday's 10-9, extra-innings loss to the Orioles. He struck out two.
Detroit starter Tarik Skubal left the game with two outs in the seventh inning, and Kyle Finnegan and Anderson proceeded to allow a total of four runs while retiring only four batters combined. For Anderson, the subpar outing saddled him with his sixth blown save of the season. The righty now has a 4.33 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 62.1 innings this year, and he remains a middling fantasy option due to his role in the middle of Detroit's bullpen without a clear path to saves or wins.

Griffin Conine RF | MIA
Marlins' Griffin Conine: Provides clutch pinch-hit homer
Conine went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Phillies.
Conine entered as a pinch hitter for Brian Navarreto in the eighth inning with the game tied and promptly launched a two-run homer off Jonathan Bowlan, providing the eventual winning runs. The outfielder has homered six times over his last 16 games while batting .319 during that stretch. Through 42 games this season, Conine owns a .277 batting average and a .925 OPS.
