  • Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Recalled from Jacksonville

    The Marlins recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

    De Los Santos has spent the vast majority of the season at Jacksonville, where he owns a .283/.347/.496 slash line with 19 homers, 66 RBI, 49 runs and 18 steals through 401 plate appearances. He'll now rejoin the parent club to give the Marlins extra flexibility at first base while Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is on the injured list. Logan Driscoll was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Marlins' Logan Driscoll: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Marlins optioned Driscoll to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

    After selecting Driscoll to the active roster Friday, the Marlins will now send him back to Triple-A while keeping him on their 40-man roster. Deyvison De Los Santos was recalled from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Belts homer in Friday's win

    Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

    Pasquantino crushed a center-cut cutter from Troy Melton, blasting it 420 feet over the right-field wall for a solo homer in the sixth inning. The first baseman has been hot since returning from right wrist soreness Monday, going 9-for-19 (.474) with two homers, three doubles, four RBI and five runs across five games. Overall, Pasquantino is slashing .247/.331/.381 with eight homers, 37 RBI, 39 runs and four stolen bases in 84 contests.

  • Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Avoids surgery, throwing Wednesday

    Woodruff did not undergo surgery on his right shoulder and is scheduled to begin a throwing program Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Woodruff said in July that he would undergo season-ending capsule repair surgery on his right shoulder, but he first wanted to exhaust all his options before going under the knife. Imaging on his shoulder taken four weeks after he suffered his injury revealed unexpected healing, eliminating the need for the 33-year-old to undergo surgery. The Brewers will put him through a five-week throwing program before re-evaluating him, per Hogg, which will keep Woodruff out through the end of the regular season but could enable him to pitch in the postseason if things go well.

  • Kyle Isbel CF | KC

    Royals' Kyle Isbel: Clubs fifth homer

    Isbel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

    Isbel connected on a solo homer in the fifth inning before adding an RBI double in the eighth frame. Since returning from a nearly two-month stint on the injured list due to a Grade 3 tear of his left plantar fascia, the center fielder is slashing .200/.229/.356 with two homers, eight RBI and six runs across 15 contests. Overall, Isbel is hitting .234/.283/.354 with five homers, 19 RBI, 22 runs and five stolen bases in 71 games.

  • Cody Bellinger LF | NYY

    Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Set to return Sunday

    Bellinger (hamstring) will return from the injured list Sunday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Manager Aaron Boone suggested earlier in the week that Bellinger could return to the Yankees' lineup by the end of the weekend, and the 31-year-old outfielder confirmed Saturday that he will do so. Bellinger went 1-for-6 with a strikeout in the two rehab games he played at Triple-A but had been on fire at the plate before getting injured, slashing .372/.438/.465 across his last dozen games. He figures to immediately reclaim his role as New York's primary left fielder.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Strains left calf while running bases

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Stanton sustained a moderate left calf while running the bases Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Stanton has been on the injured list since April 28 due to a strained right calf, but his other calf is now the bigger concern after he strained it while falling down during his most recent baserunning session. The Yankees haven't yet ruled out a return for Stanton later this season, but Boone admitted that it will be difficult for the veteran slugger to return before the end of the campaign as a result of his latest setback.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Nursing thumb injury

    Winn has been absent from the Cardinals' lineup the last two days because of left thumb irritation, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Winn injured the thumb Wednesday in Cincinnati when he jammed it into a base. The slick-fielding shortstop has appeared in both games off the bench, indicating that he should be ready to return to the lineup soon. The Cardinals have been covering for Winn by shifting JJ Wetherholt over to shortstop and starting Bryan Torres at second base.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Plays nine innings Friday

    Story (sports hernia) played nine innings at shortstop and went 0-for-4 for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

    Story, who played the fourth game of his rehab assignment Friday, appears to be on the verge of being activated. He's scheduled to play another full game at shortstop Saturday, per MLB.com, and will then get a rest day Sunday. Story could be activated ahead of Monday's game against Miami.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Four-hit night in win

    Duran went 4-for-5 with a double in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Angels.

    Duran's final hit in the bottom of the 10th inning produced the winning run on a throwing error. He's found his swing again following a 13-game stretch in which he batted .128 (6-for-47). Over the last two games, Duran's reached base eight times in nine plate appearances (6-for-7, two walks, one double, one triple).
