  • Shane Drohan SP | MIL

    Brewers' Shane Drohan: Makes abbreviated start Thursday

    Drohan took a no-decision in his start in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Phillies, striking out two batters while allowing one run on three hits and two walks.

    Drohan picked up his first start since Sept. 12, after the Brewers used him in relief for both of his prior two appearances. He handled a limited workload in his return to the rotation, tossing just 47 pitches while facing 13 batters before the Brewers turned the game over to the bullpen. Drohan is likely to shift back to a relief role if Milwaukee opts to include him on its postseason roster.

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Exiting starting lineup

    Wells is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out afternoon tilt

    Chisholm is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

  • Brendan Beck SP | NYY

    Yankees' Brendan Beck: Summoned ahead of spot start

    The Yankees recalled Beck from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

  • Yankees' Yerry De Los Santos: Rejoins big-league bullpen

    The Yankees recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

    De Los Santos will provide manager Aaron Boone with a fresh bullpen arm ahead of Friday's doubleheader versus the Orioles. The 28-year-old reliever has managed a 1.35 ERA in 15 appearances out of the Yankees' bullpen this season, though that's come with an undesirable 15:8 K:BB.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Goes on family emergency list

    The Cubs placed Cabrera on the family medical emergency list Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Cabrera will miss the final series of the regular season but should be back for the wild-card series, though it's no guarantee the Cubs will include him on the roster. The 28-year-old has allowed five runs with a 4:4 K:BB over four innings covering three appearances since being moved to the bullpen.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Sitting in first game

    Cubs' Ian Happ: Out of lineup for first game

    Happ is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader in Boston.

    Happ is likely to be back in there for the second game of the twin bill, but he'll begin the first tilt on the bench. Tyrone Taylor will play left field and will bat cleanup for the Cubs.
