Watson batting eighth in MLB debut

Kyle Farmer was released to open up a spot. Yastrzemski missed the minimum 10 days with elbow inflammation. He’ll likely take over as the right fielder against right-handers for now. Once Ronald Acuña Jr. returns, Dominic Smith, the typical DH against righties, could lose most of his playing time and or maybe his roster spot entirely.

Farmer won a utility job out of spring training, but he barely played either before or after missing six weeks in May and June with a forearm strain. He totaled 16 plate appearances for the Braves, going 4-for-15 with three RBI. The 35-year-old will likely need to take a minor league deal in order to continue his career.

Mikolas will be pitching for the first time since serving his five-game suspension for fighting Boston’s Nate Eaton.

The Brewers have set up their rotation so that Brandon Sproat will start tonight and Sunday against the Rockies, which would have been Misiorowski’s normal spot. Sunday’s as far as out as they’ve announced their rotation, so Misiorowski’s next start is a TBA at the moment. However, he’ll probably face the Giants on Monday unless something goes wrong.

That would seem to put him in line to rejoin the Brewers rotation on Aug. 6. Harrison last pitched on July 8 before going on the IL with forearm tightness.

This will give Dennis Santana a little more time to cool off. Both teams have Thursday off, but they’ll play two tomorrow, with the makeup game starting at 7:05 p.m. EDT and the originally scheduled game being moved up from 1:35 to 1:05. Bubba Chandler and Will Warren had been scheduled to start tonight’s game. They should join Wednesday’s scheduled starters Mitch Keller and Gerrit Cole in pitching tomorrow, but the order might be changed up.

Anderson, who was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on July 11, will work in middle relief. He allowed three runs in eight innings for Boston earlier this year, and he had a 4.57 ERA over 61 innings while mostly starting games in Triple-A.

Pitching in MLB for the first time, Go gave up four runs over four innings in four appearances for the Twins. He’s sticking on the 40-man for now, so he might get another chance at some point.

It’s the third leg injury that Teel has suffered this year, joining the hamstring strain he sustained in the World Baseball Classic and the knee injury that came about while on a rehab assignment in May. He’d hit .190/.271/.317 in 19 games since returning in June. Drew Romo and Edgar Quero will resume sharing the catcher role in Chicago.

Quero had his just .230/.299/.295 in 15 games since being sent down, though that .594 OPS is still considerably better than his .486 OPS in 55 games before losing his spot. He’ll split time with Drew Romo while Kyle Teel is out.
