    Jacob Wilson went 3-for-5 with a homer and two RBI in a blowout win over the Nationals on Saturday.

    Wilson’s homer got the party started for the A’s; a leadoff shot off Zack Littell for his fifth homer of the season. The Athletics would score another 14 in the blowout win, and Wilson would drive in one of those with a single in the seventh. Wilson has been a solid if unspectacular performer when at the top of the lineup, and he’s now slashing .288/.318/.403 on the campaign over his 58 games.

    Jake Fraley (abdomen) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham this week.

    White Sox recalled RHP Jonathan Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte.

    Cannon figures to operate in a swingman-type role out of Chicago’s bullpen. He hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since suffering a hip injury during his season debut back in mid-April. The 26-year-old has been operating as a starter at Triple-A Charlotte for the last few months. He can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

    White Sox placed RHP Huáscar Brazoban on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain.

    Brazoban suffered the injury during a relief appearance against the Rangers on Monday. The 36-year-old hits the shelf after making 10 appearances for the White Sox after coming over from the Mets at the trade deadline. No word yet regarding how much time he’ll miss, but lat strains are typically measured in weeks and months, not days.

    Shohei Ohtani (knee) remains in the mix to start against the Tigers on Sunday.

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts didn’t rule out the possibility that Ohtani could take the ball against Detroit this weekend but he’ll need to make it through another throwing session this week before that decision is made. The 32-year-old two-way superstar hasn’t pitched in a game setting since early July due to a knee issue.

    Adley Rutschman is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Marlins.

    Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters he’s not concerned after Rutschman felt something in his right elbow on an awkward swing during Monday’s series opener in Miami. It sounds like a precautionary day off, but fantasy managers should pay attention to his status for the remainder of the week.

    Tony Gonsolin (elbow) will make a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

    Gonsolin signed a one-year contract with Kanas City earlier this month. He’s working his way back from last year’s internal brace procedure on his elbow. There’s a chance he’s able to make it back before the end of the regular season, but he’s unlikely to offer any semblance of fantasy value.

    Ryan Helsey (elbow) progressed to throwing a bullpen session last weekend.

    Helsley told reporters he’s aiming to make it back to Baltimore before the end of the season, but he’s going to be racing against the clock to make it happen. The Orioles are making it work with a closer-by-committee approach with Andrew Kittredge, Rico Garcia and Yennier Cano splitting the closer role.

    Jackson Holliday is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against the Cardinals.

    Holliday gets a rare opportunity atop Baltimore’s lineup against left-handed starter Matthew Liberatore. The 22-year-old former top prospect has settled in as the club’s top-of-the-order table-setter since mid-August, but is hitting just .156 (5-for-32) over his last eight games.

    Ezequiel Tovar (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Nationals.

    It’s a bit surprising that Tovar hasn’t hit the injured list after exiting Monday’s series opener against the Nationals with a left wrist strain. It’ll be Ryan Ritter taking over at shortstop in his absence.

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Robert Gasser is available out of the bullpen this week.

    Murphy added that Gasser and Shane Drohan are expected to start against the Rangers this weekend. There are a bunch of variables to consider when it comes to Milwaukee’s rotation heading into the final month of the season, but it sounds like both Gasser and Drohan will get at least one more turn through before any changes are made.
