Rangers designate Joe Ross for assignment

Sugano struck out four while recording a quality start against his former team. He was tagged for three runs in the third, including a two-RBI double by Luis Robert Jr., but he otherwise limited the damage. Colorado tied the game in the ninth before going on to win in 11 innings. Sugano will remain off the fantasy radar with a matchup at Yankee Stadium next time out.

This seemed inevitable with the Yankees having an off day prior to Friday’s series opener against the Padres. There’s a chance Lombard requires a trip to the injured list if he’s not ready to go in a couple days. The 21-year-old rookie has missed four straight games with right knee discomfort. It’ll be José Caballero filling in at shortstop once again.

Rogers struck out a career-high 11 without walking anyone, rewarding fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him in Coors. He fanned six in a row at one point and has pitched to around a 3.00 ERA since the beginning of June after a challenging first couple of months. He was always going to regress from the 1.81 ERA he registered a season ago, and while he’s at 4.30 for the year, the in-season turnaround has been nice to see. An impending free agent, he’s now up to a career-best 144 1/3 innings. He draws the Guardians at home next time out.

Veen came up with two outs and a runner on second in the bottom of the ninth, doubling off Andrew Kittredge to send this one to extras. Colorado then walked it off in the eleventh. Veen’s playing time has been sporadic since he was recalled from Triple-A on August 11, as he has started just 10 of 21 games, including none against lefties. The 24-year-old is striking out over 38% of the time in his brief big-league sample, but he had that mark down to 20% at Triple-A. He’s a deep sleeper to keep in mind this offseason.

Norby finished the series against his former team by going 1-for-13 with a single and a run scored. It’s a disappointing outcome given all three games were at Coors Field, and he hit second in two of them. The Rockies host the Cardinals for three more games this week, at least one of which will come against a lefty.

Robert drove in two when he doubled to right-center in the top of the third, extending Baltimore’s lead to 3-0. The outfielder was claimed off waivers from the Mets earlier this week and hit cleanup in his first game with the Orioles. Leody Taveras was on the bench Wednesday, but it’ll be worth monitoring how playing time shakes out in a four-game series against the Red Sox beginning Thursday.

Winder hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since undergoing Tommy John surgery last spring. The 29-year-old boasts a serviceable 4.39 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 85/33 K/BB ratio across 110 2/3 innings in the majors since 2022. He’s a low-risky lottery ticket for Philadelphia.

Rainey went unclaimed on waivers after being jettisoned from Detroit’s relief mix earlier this week. The 33-year-old former high-leverage arm allowed three runs over seven innings with the Tigers. He’s made 217 appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2018.

Anderson will presumably stick around as organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old journeyman posted a bloated 7.65 ERA across 20 innings for the Angels earlier this season.

Woods Richardson represents a zero risk depth addition for Seattle as they try to remain in contention for a Wild Card playoff spot in the final month. The 25-year-old has posted a calamitous 6.68 ERA across 66 innings between the Blue Jays and Twins this season.
