Cole Carrigg sits for second half opener on Friday

Roberts noted that the team has decided to take a cautious approach with Ohtani’s injured left knee and the 32-year-old superstar will not pitch for an undetermined amount of time. It remains unclear if the Dodgers will stick with a six-man rotation while Ohtani is shelved or go with a traditional five-man alignment for the time being.

Seigler has settled in as the Red Sox’ everyday second baseman and leadoff hitter over the past couple of weeks, but he’ll get a breather in this one. Romy Gonzalez will start in his place and bat sixth against Rays’ left-hander Shane McClanahan on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.

Murphy gave up three runs (two earned) over 2 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Rangers on Saturday. He’ll return to the rotation at the Triple-A level where he’ll stand ready for the next time the Braves have an injury or require a spot starter.

The 31-year-old right-hander will add a fresh arm to the team’s bullpen for at least a few days. Hernández has made 20 appearances (11 starts) at Triple-A Gwinnett this season, registering a 4.83 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and a 72/27 K/BB ratio across 76 1/3 innings. Owen Murphy was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move on Sunday.

The Blue Jays have been careful to mix in off days for Springer in an effort to keep him healthy for the remainder of the season. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will serve as the club’s designated hitter in his absence while Sean Keys draws a start at first base and will bat sixth against White Sox’ right-hander Sean Burke on Sunday afternoon in Toronto.

The 35-year-old has been shelved since June 27 due to inflammation in his right knee. He’s going to need at least a few games against live pitching before he’s an option to rejoin the Mariners. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to go at some point during the upcoming week.

The 36-year-old southpaw had been designated for assignment last week. Coulombe has struggled to a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a cringe-inducing 10/15 K/BB ratio over 22 innings with the Red Sox this season. He’s now free to explore options on the open market.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 24-year-old second baseman. Sam Antonacci will cover second base in his absence while Randal Grichuk draws a start in left field and will bat seventh against Blue Jays’ right-hander Trey Yesavage.

Young’s homer off Logan Webb gave the Mariners their only runs in regulation before Julio Rodríguez won the game with a sac fly in the 10th. It was Young’s 12th homer this season. His .254/.313/.400 line is hardly eyepopping, but for a 22-year-old playing in T-Mobile half of the time, it’s really quite impressive and bodes well for him being a quality regular for the next 10 or 12 years.

The earned runs came in the sixth on solo homers from Rafael Devers and Willy Adames, which checked in at just 339 and 358 feet, respectively. Apart from that, Woo was really good in striking out seven. The unearned run was especially unearned. Technically, it scored on a Luke Raley error, but Luis Arraez only reached in the first place on what should have been a Cole Young error but was deemed a single because that’s just how the league likes it. Woo will pitch in Texas next week, which makes for an even more favorable matchup than most of his home starts.
