Caminero was removed from Game 4 of the World Series against Milwaukee on Tuesday due to an apparent leg injury.

Caminero seemed to tweak something while reaching base on an error in the 12th inning, and he later limped off the field after advancing to third base on a Liam Hicks single. The Rays were able to rally in extra innings and force a Game 5, though it remains to be seen whether Caminero will be healthy enough to play Wednesday.

Williamson delivered a walk-off, RBI single as a pinch hitter in the 12th inning of Game 4 of the World Series against the Brewers on Tuesday.

Williamson came to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 12th with the game tied 3-3 and delivered a first-pitch single to keep Tampa Bay's season alive. The 25-year-old entered the day having gone 1-for-15 through seven playoff games, but he came through as the last player off the bench Tuesday and extended the series.

Pratt went 4-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and an additional RBI in Game 4 of the World Series against the Rays on Tuesday.

The rookie shortstop put the Brewers three outs away from their first World Series title with a solo homer in the 12th inning to break a 2-2 tie, but the Milwaukee bullpen couldn't close things out in the bottom of the frame. On a night when offense was at a premium, Pratt accounted for half of his team's hits and now has three extra-base hits and five RBI in the World Series.

Lopez (elbow) is slated to progress to throwing off a mound the third week of November, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Recovering from an internal brace repair of his right UCL, Lopez began throwing on flat ground Aug. 21 and is a few weeks away from mound work. As long as he's able to progress without any setbacks, the right-hander is expected to be ready in time for Opening Day. Lopez last pitched for the Twins in September of 2025 and will be entering the final year of his four-year, $73.5 million contract in 2027.

Mesa is not in the lineup Tuesday for Game 4 of the World Series versus the Brewers.

Mesa has had a rough postseason, going 6-for-39 (.154) with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate. He'll begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench but could make an appearance mid-game. Ryan Vilade will start in right field and will bat seventh as the Rays try to stave off elimination.

May will start for the Brewers on Tuesday in Game 4 of the World Series, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll be pitching on two days' rest after tossing a scoreless inning of relief in Game 2. May has made four appearances this postseason, permitting five runs with a 5:2 K:BB over eight frames. The Brewers have a rested bullpen at their disposal, and they could go to it early and often as they attempt to close out the series.

The Astros released Velazquez on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Velazquez is expected to sign with a team in Asia, and the Astros will now have another 40-man roster spot to work with. The 27-year-old slashed .188/.257/.406 with six home runs across 52 regular-season contests between the Cardinals and Astros.

Hoffman recently underwent arthroscopic surgery and a debridement procedure to remove a bone chip from his right elbow, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Hoffman landed on the 15-day injured list during the last weekend of the regular season with right forearm inflammation, and now he's had his elbow repair a month later. The Twins anticipate Hoffman beginning a throwing program in eight weeks and being ready for the start of the 2027 season. Hoffman logged a 3.55 ERA and 102:30 K:BB over 66 innings between the Blue Jays and Twins in 2026. Assuming health, Hoffman is likely to compete with Yoendrys Gomez for Minnesota's closer role next season.

Turang went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and one run in Game 3 of the World Series against the Rays on Monday.

Turang started an eight-run rally with two outs in the fifth inning, hitting a 106-mph single up the middle to drive in two runs. The second baseman has gone 4-for-11 with three walks, two doubles, two RBI and two runs through three World Series games to help give Milwaukee a 3-0 advantage.

Peralta took the loss in Game 3 of the World Series against the Brewers on Monday, giving up five runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander dealt with traffic all night, allowing 10 batters to reach before departing with two outs and the bases loaded in the fifth inning. All three baserunners came around to score as Milwaukee erupted for an eight-run frame, pushing the lead to 10-0. Peralta had surrendered just two runs across 16.2 postseason innings coming into Monday, though his 12:7 K:BB may have been an indicator of things to come when going up against a Brewers lineup that has chewed up elite starting pitchers all October. Now facing a 3-0 series deficit, the Rays will need to string some wins together for Peralta to have a chance of taking the mound again in 2026.
