Peralta (6-11) picked up the win Wednesday, scattering two hits over six scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the Tigers. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Detroit never even got a runner into scoring position against Peralta, who fired 50 of 81 pitches for strikes for his second quality start in four outings with Tampa Bay, and his first win since June 14. Since surrendering seven runs in his Rays debut Aug. 4, the right-hander has a 3.80 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB over 23.2 frames in his past four starts. Peralta will look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the team that traded him, the Mets.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Schmidt (elbow) is ready to begin a rehab assignment, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Schmidt checked out well after throwing a live batting practice session Tuesday and will presumably report to an affiliate this weekend for what will mark his first game action since he underwent an internal brace procedure last July. While the Yankees haven't officially ruled out Schmidt coming back from the 60-day injured list as a starter, the expectation is that he'll be preparing for a return in a multi-inning relief role during his rehab assignment.

McNeil is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.

McNeil will take a breather after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Minnesota. Tommy White will start at first base and bat fifth against Twins southpaw Connor Prielipp.

O'Neill relayed Wednesday that he expects to be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right rotator cuff strain, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

O'Neill sustained the injury while diving for a catch during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. A move to the IL means the veteran outfielder won't be available to play until at least early September, though the Orioles will get a better sense of O'Neill's return timeline once he's cleared to resume baseball activities.

Rodriguez underwent surgery Wednesday to repair the labrum in his left hip, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Rodriguez is expected to resume baseball activities in 7-to-9 months, ruling him out for the rest of 2026 and likely the early portion of the 2027 campaign as well. The 26-year-old will finish the season with a .267/.373/.467 slash line alongside seven homers, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and six steals across 158 plate appearances in the majors. With Rodriguez out, Rafael Flores and Henry Davis figure to split starts behind the plate for the rest of the season.

Martin (finger) is scheduled to start his rehab assignment Thursday, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Martin has been ramping up his throwing progression since landing on the 15-day injured list Aug. 14 due to a blister on his right middle finger, and he may need only one minor-league outing before being cleared to return to the majors. Over his eight starts prior to his IL stint, Martin posted a 0-3 record with an 8.16 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 21:15 K:BB over 32 innings.

The Nationals recalled Perales from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

Perales will get his first taste of the big leagues after he submitted a 3.64 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 97:55 K:BB while holding opposing hitters to a .199 average across 96.1 innings in his 25 appearances (19 starts) with Rochester. The 23-year-old righty made his final three appearances at Triple-A as a reliever and will work out of the bullpen to begin his time with Washington. He could be called upon to cover multiple frames in relief Wednesday against the Rockies, as starter Matt Waldron isn't fully stretched out and could be operating as a glorified opener.

House is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

House will head to the bench Wednesday after going 1-for-8 with a double and a walk while starting in the first two contests of the series. Andres Chaparro will replace House at third base and will bat fifth.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Keys will begin playing some left field at Triple-A Buffalo, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

To this point, Keys has played only first and third base in pro ball, but showing he can handle left field would give the 23-year-old an additional path to playing time in the majors. Keys has been red hot at the plate for Buffalo in August, slashing .351/.463/.675.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Ruiz will take a seat for the second straight game while the Nationals go with Harry Ford behind the plate. Despite Ruiz's consecutive absences, the playing time at catcher still seems to be tilting in his favor while he's produced a superb .346/.424/.423 batting line since the start of August.
