Rangers add catcher Austin Wynns from Triple-A

Peña took a Gerrit Cole pitch off the knuckles, but he remained in and finished the game against the Yankees.

It seemed last weekend that Brayan Rocchio might be becoming the odd man out in the Cleveland infield, but he’s starting a fifth straight game tonight after sitting out two in a row. That’s led to less time for Genao. His only start the last three games came when José Ramírez was DHing on Wednesday.

Abrams missed four games after getting hurt last week and then spend the last four games at DH. With the injury setting him back, he still hasn’t played any second base since the Nationals announced his transition.

Santander underwent labrum surgery in February. If he returns, it would likely be just for the final couple of weeks. Still, any sort of positive sign then would be something to take forward into 2027. Santander is currently in the second season of a five-year. $92.5 million contract.

Waldrep was hurt in Triple-A a month ago in his first outing there after a three-start stint in the majors. The 24-year-old, who is 6-3 with a 4.99 ERA in 13 starts and two relief appearances as a major leaguer since debuting in 2024, figures to miss all of 2027 after this.

Yikes. Schwellenbach didn’t require surgery at the time of the fracture, but he did undergo a procedure to remove bone spurs this spring, He hasn’t pitched in 14 months since the original injury, and his status for 2027 seems like it’s in real doubt at this point.

Fried missed two starts during his second absence with a bone bruise in his elbow. Boone wouldn’t confirm the order in which Carlos Rodón and Fried will start Saturday, but it’d make sense for Fried to pitch in the second game.

Ornelas has declined the assignment and become a free agent. The Brewers DFA’d him on Tuesday after he went 2-for-9 in 10 days with the club.

Mets interim manager Andy Green said Polanco would be “in a baseball progression” at the beginning of the spring. Polanco, who was signed to a two-year, $40 million deal last winter, will probably get another chance at first base next year once healthy, but the Mets will likely want to keep Jared Young around as protection.

He takes Blaze Jordan’s spot on the roster. It would seem to make sense for the Cardinals to give Saggese more of a look than Nolan Gorman down the stretch, but we’re guessing if they wanted to do that, Saggese would have already been in the big leagues and not needed an injury to be recalled. Saggese is hitting .258/.340/.446 for Memphis this year with 10 homers and nine stolen bases in 249 plate appearances.
