MLB Player News

Adames was removed from Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to an apparent lower-body injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The veteran shortstop made an awkward slide into home plate during the first inning, and while he initially remained in the contest, Adames was replaced in the field for the bottom of the fifth. Adames went 1-for-3 with a run scored before departing the contest and should be considered day-to-day for now.

Baz (4-14) took the loss Sunday against Tampa Bay, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

Baz held Tampa scoreless through five innings before things fell apart in the sixth, when the Rays scored three runs after stringing together four two-out hits. For Baz, it's the 12th straight outing without a win -- he's gone 0-8 despite logging seven quality starts while posting a 4.02 ERA across 69.1 innings in that span. Overall, Baz sports a 4.04 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 135:52 K:BB across 26 starts (151.1 innings) this season. He'll aim for better results his next time out, tentatively lined up to come next weekend on the road against the A's.

Baker earned the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Orioles, allowing a run on one hit in the ninth inning.

Colton Cowser led off the ninth with a homer off Baker, just the second run he's allowed in his last 19.2 innings, but the right-hander would rebound to retire the next three Orioles and notch his league-leading 37th save this season. Baker's ERA sits at 1.59 across 51 innings with a 0.88 WHIP and 56:16 K:BB.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Jameson from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

The right-hander has been sidelined just over a month due to hip inflammation, but he's ready to rejoin Arizona's bullpen after two minor-league rehab appearances. Jameson has made 11 appearances for the Diamondbacks this year and has a 4.67 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB across 17.1 innings.

Martinez (13-4) earned the win Sunday over the Orioles, allowing just one hit over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

After giving up a season-high six runs across just 3.2 innings against Toronto his last time out, Martinez bounced back with an excellent performance against the Orioles, allowing just one hit en route to his 13th win. The 36-year-old Martinez lowered his ERA to 2.93 across 25 starts (147.2 innings) this season with a 1.10 WHIP and 87:22 K:BB. He's currently slated to face the Padres at home in his next outing.

Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Ward started the past four games after missing the previous five contests due to quadriceps soreness, and he'll check out of the starting nine Sunday to get some scheduled rest. Dominic Canzone is serving as the designated hitter while Victor Robles starts in right field.

The Reds recalled Johnson from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Johnson will be up in the big leagues for the third time this season, restoring depth on the Reds' bench after Michael Toglia (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his previous two stints with the Reds, Johnson logged just 14 total plate appearances over 12 games. He'll likely be in line for limited playing time this time around too.

Leahy didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Phillies, allowing two hits and two walks over four scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Leahy appeared to be on a pitch count Sunday, as the Cardinals are looking to limit the right-hander's workload down the stretch. Coming into the day, Leahy had gone five or more innings in each of his previous six outings, posting a 1.91 ERA across 33 innings in that span. Overall, Leahy sports a 3.13 ERA across 25 starts (126.1 innings) this season with a 1.30 WHIP and 115:37 K:BB. He'll likely be limited to around 65 pitches again his next time out, currently scheduled to come at home against the Pirates.

The Reds placed Toglia (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Toglia will be deactivated after dislocating his right shoulder on a diving catch in Friday's 9-0 loss to the Diamondbacks. Per MLB.com, the Reds will send Toglia in for a follow-up MRI on Monday, and the team should soon have more clarity on the extent of the injury. After being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Aug. 11, Toglia slashed .115/.179/.192 with two runs and one RBI across 28 plate appearances in 10 games with Cincinnati.

Sanchez didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing four runs on nine hits over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.

It's the first time in eight starts that Sanchez has allowed more than three runs. He'd gone 6-0 over his previous seven outings with a 2.18 ERA and 50 strikeouts across 41.1 innings. Overall, Sanchez's ERA sits at 2.62 across 27 starts (168.1 innings) this year with a 1.22 WHIP and 194:38 K:BB. The southpaw is currently lined up for a road matchup with the Angels his next time out.
