Jensen went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over Cleveland.

Jensen extended Kansas City's lead with a two-run blast over the right-field wall in the ninth inning. The young catcher has now homered in back-to-back games and three times over his past seven contests. On the year, he's hitting .223/.309/.415 with 19 homers, 61 RBI, 61 runs and two stolen bases across 126 games.

The Yankees added Beck to the active roster to serve as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

Beck has surrendered seven earned runs in just 6.2 innings with the Yankees this year, but he'll rejoin the big club to provide New York with extra bullpen depth for Saturday's twin bill. He'll likely head back to Triple-A after the end of the day's festivities.

Callahan isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Callahan has notched a hit in both of his last two games, but the Tigers will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest while Javier Baez, Max Clark and Ben Malgeri start across the outfield.

The Red Sox added Burgos to the active roster as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Burgos will return to the big leagues to add depth to Boston's bullpen as it prepares to play two games against the Yankees. The 27-year-old southpaw has given up just three runs in 10 innings with the big club this year but will likely head back to Triple-A at the end of the day.

The Red Sox optioned Olds to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Olds fired six shutout innings after being promoted from Triple-A on Aug. 17, but he'll end up as the roster casualty required to make room for Garrett Whitlock (elbow), who returned from the IL on Saturday. Olds owns a 5.33 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 50.2 innings at Worcester this season, but his strong first impression with the Red Sox could keep him in consideration for another promotion down the stretch if the big club's bullpen depth is tested again.

The Red Sox reinstated Whitlock (elbow) from the injured list Saturday.

Whitlock will return to Boston's bullpen after spending close to the minimum amount of time on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation. The 30-year-old reliever never made any rehab appearances in the minors but still figures to immediately slot back in as the Red Sox's top setup man for closer Aroldis Chapman. Wyatt Olds was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Gasper isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

Gasper has appeared in 10 straight games since coming up from the minors Aug. 16, but he'll move to the bench to begin the first half of Saturday's events. Jahmai Jones will serve as Boston's designated hitter and bat leadoff.

Duran isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

Duran will begin Saturday's festivities on the bench after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. Eli White will fill in as Boston's left fielder and bat ninth.

Clark went 1-for-2 with a walk, a triple and an RBI in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Clark drove in Detroit's lone run and actually gave the Tigers a short-lived lead with his third triple of the year in the bottom of the fifth inning. The 21-year-old rookie has been showing off his speed in the early going with the three triples and a stolen base, and he's also gone deep twice in 25 games. Clark certainly seems to be Detroit's center fielder of the future, and he should be primed to post big numbers in his first full campaign next season.

Kremer (2-5) took the loss Friday against the White Sox after allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out three over four-plus innings.

Kremer fell into immediate trouble, allowing four runs in the first inning, including a three-run homer to Colson Montgomery. While the Twins' offense fought back and evened things up by the end of the second frame, Kremer surrendered the lead again in the third and allowed another run in the fourth before ultimately exiting after facing one batter in the fifth. Kremer has been inconsistent, allowing at least four earned runs in two of his last three outings and in four of his last seven. He owns a 6.42 ERA in 40.2 innings and eight appearances since the All-Star break.
