  • Rece Hinds RF | BAL

    Orioles' Rece Hinds: Getting look from Orioles

    Baltimore recalled Hinds from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

    Hinds had already seen action in the majors with two different clubs this season, slashing .114/.158/.200 with no homers and five RBI across 13 games between Cincinnati and Miami. He'll look to make a better impression with the Orioles, who traded for Hinds in early August. Hinds doesn't figure to start regularly, but he'll give Baltimore outfield depth with both Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) and Christian Franklin (hand) currently on the injured list.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: Withheld from starting nine Sunday

    Caglianone (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Per MLB.com, Caglianone is set to receive imaging on his sore left elbow after the injury forced him out of Saturday's 4-3 loss after just two innings. John Rave will replace Caglianone in right field and bat leadoff in the series finale versus Toronto.

  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Out for second straight game

    DeLauter (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    The rookie slugger is considered day-to-day while he manages a right wrist sprain and will be kept on the bench for a second straight game. With DeLauter taking a seat, the Guardians will use Jo Adell in right field and Steven Kwan at designated hitter.

  • Nathan Eaton CF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Returns to Red Sox

    Boston recalled Eaton from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    In a stint with the big-league club from mid-June to mid-July earlier this season, Eaton slashed just .125/.282/.281 with one homer, five RBI and two stolen bases over 14 games. He's been a bit better in the minors, posting a .756 OPS across 363 plate appearances while swiping 19 bags for Worcester. Eaton's call-up is a corresponding move to Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps) being placed on the 10-day IL.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Lands on injured list

    Boston placed Rafaela on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right quadriceps strain.

    Rafaela exited Wednesday's loss to Seattle due to what the Red Sox initially labeled as quad tightness. Though the Red Sox initially had optimism that the 25-year-old could avoid a stint on the IL, he'll end up going on the shelf after he was unable to play in any of the team's last three games. Boston recalled Nate Eaton from Triple-A Worcester to replace Rafaela on the active roster, though Eli White will ikely be the biggest beneficiary in terms of playing time. Since the IL move is retroactive to Thursday, Rafaela could be activated as soon as Sept. 13.

  • Eli White CF | BOS

    Red Sox's Eli White: Breaks scoreless tie

    White started in center field and went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 5-0 win over Baltimore.

    White broke open a scoreless pitchers' duel with a two-out, two-run single in the top of the sixth inning. He was making a third consecutive start in center field in place of Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps) and has hit safely in all three. White will draw a fourth consecutive start Sunday.

  • Wilyer Abreu RF | BOS

    Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Out of lineup Sunday

    Abreu isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    With the Brewers sending southpaw Kyle Harrison to the mound, the left-handed hitter will begin the game on the bench despite the fact that he has a better OPS against lefties (.907) than righties (.753) this season. Roman Anthony is handling right field in Abreu's place Sunday, while Andruw Monasterio is getting a turn at DH.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Remaining out of lineup Sunday

    Rafaela (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Unless he makes an appearance off the bench Sunday, Rafaela will wind up missing the entire four-game series in Baltimore due to right quad soreness. Eli White will draw another start in center field in place of Rafaela, whom the Red Sox are viewing as day-to-day while remaining optimistic he'll avoid a stint on the injured list, per MLB.com.

  • Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Adds insurance with homer

    Butler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

    Butler went deep in the eighth inning to pad the Athletics' lead. His hitting streak is up to 14 games, a span in which he has gone 18-for-51 (.353) with two homers and 16 RBI. The outfielder is up to 13 long balls on the year, and he's batting .233 with a .702 OPS, 52 RBI, 54 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and 10 stolen bases over 135 contests. Butler should continue to maintain a starting role in right field.

  • Joshua Lowe LF | LAA

    Angels' Josh Lowe: Homers in win

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

    The 28-year-old launched a 410-foot blast off Braxton Ashcraft in the fifth inning. It was Lowe's first extra-base hit since he doubled Aug. 24, and he entered Saturday just 3-for-18 over eight games during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .210/.273/.360 with 11 homers, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 295 plate appearances.
