Twins send Woo-Suk Go back to Triple-A

After a lengthy stint on the injured list and a minor league rehab assignment, the 22-year-old outfielder is finally ready to rejoin the Red Sox lineup. Before landing on the injured list on May 4, Anthony was slashing .229/.354/.321 with just one homer, five RBI and a pair of stolen bases through his first 130 plate appearances on the season.

It’s nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 23-year-old third baseman. Jorbit Vivas will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat sixth against Marlins’ right-hander Janson Junk.

Schmidt allowed a leadoff single to Jaison Chourio to open the ballgame, then after a strike out, he served up a two-run homer to Aaron Walton. The 30-year-old righty rebounded to strike out the next hitter before turning the ball over to the bullpen. He threw 16 of his 20 pitches for strikes in the contest and felt good after the game, which is all that really matters at this stage. He’s expected to work out of the Yankees’ bullpen at some point in September once he’s deemed ready to go.

The 31-year-old slugger has been shelved since August 20 due to a left thumb sprain. He’s only expected to need a handful of at-bats on a rehab assignment before he’s ready to rejoin the Yankees. Barring any setbacks, expect him to return early next week.

The 27-year-old backstop had been shelved since early June due to a left hamate bone fracture. He’ll continue to operate as extra catching depth for the Halos at the Triple-A level.

The 31-year-old right-hander was perhaps too efficient in this one, as he only needed 17 pitches (10 strikes) to retire all six batters that he faced, four of them on ground outs. He’s going to need at least a few more of these minor league tune-ups before he’s ready to join the Diamondbacks’ rotation down the stretch.

Neto’s home run was his 23rd of the season. With the Angels trailing 1-0, Neto hit a game-tying solo home run off Phillies reliever Jonathan Bowlan in the eighth inning. The Angels would go on to lose in extra innings. Neto is 18-for-47 (.382) with three home runs, nine runs scored, 12 RBI and two steals over his last 11 games. He’s hitting .236 with a .750 OPS and 65 RBI this year.

Johnson gave up two hits, walked five and struck out two. The walks remain a concern, though Johnson mostly pitched out of trouble for five innings Saturday. He has a 1.72 ERA with 16 walks and 15 strikeouts in 26 1/3 innings in August. Johnson is lined up to face the Pirates on the road next weekend.

Sánchez gave up two hits, walked one and struck out eight. He was lights out against the Angels, but left with a 1-0 lead that the Phillies bullpen blew in the eighth inning, costing him a win. Sánchez lowered his ERA to 2.52. He’s lined up to face the Braves at home next weekend.

Eldridge had RBI singles in the first and eighth innings and a two-run single in the fifth inning. Eldridge has 16 RBI in 22 games in August. He’s hitting .261 with an .804 OPS and 42 RBI this year.
