    Athletics signed LHP Dallas Keuchel to a minor league contract.

    ESPN’s Jeff Passan was the first to report the deal. Keuchel hasn’t thrown a pitch in the big leagues since the 2024 campaign. The Athletics are going to give the 38-year-old veteran a late-season opportunity at Triple-A Las Vegas. He won the AL Cy Young Award with the Astros back in 2015 and has made 267 starts in the majors dating back to 2012. He’s a notable addition for the Athletics from a name recognition standpoint, but it would be extremely surprising if he provided any semblance of fantasy value over the final two months.

    Marlins selected the contract of LHP Patrick Monteverde from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Marlins optioned LHP Cade Gibson to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Gibson earns a ticket back to the minors after serving up an extra-inning grand slam to Jarren Duran during Tuesday’s extra-inning marathon. He’s posted a lackluster 5.87 ERA across 38 1/3 innings in the big leagues this season.

    Shohei Ohtani (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday.

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Ohtani is trending towards starting against the Tigers on Sunday. There should be a definitive update on his status leading into the weekend but all signs point to the generational talent making his first start for Los Angeles since early July. It sounds like there’s a possibility that Ohtani piggybacks with Tyler Glasnow in some capacity for workload reasons this weekend.

    Tyler O’Neill (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals.

    It’s a bit surprising that O’Neill hasn’t hit the injured list already, but there doesn’t seem to be a ton of urgency from the Orioles to make a decision here. The 31-year-old has been diagnosed with a rotator cuff strain in his right shoulder and appears likely to miss at least a couple weeks.

    Endy Rodríguez underwent season-ending left hip surgery on Wednesday.

    Rodríguez underwent a procedure to address a labrum tear and won’t be cleared to resume baseball activities until at least March, which means he’s going to miss time at the outset of next season. The 26-year-old was showing some really encouraging signs at the plate before hitting the injured list earlier this month. His absence opens the door for Rafael Flores to continue playing regularly between catcher and first base into next season.

    Mets interim manager Andy Green told reporters Juan Soto (calf) is continuing a hitting and running progression.

    Green added that Soto, who has expressed confidence that he’ll play again this season, remains without a definitive return timetable. He’s been on the injured list with a Grade 2 left calf strain since late July. All signs point to Soto being ready to return to New York’s lineup at some point in September, but he’s going to need a rehab assignment before that happens.

    Joshua Báez is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Orioles.

    Baez is hitting .083 (3-for-36) with one homer, four RBI and two steals in 10 games since launching three homers in his sublime major-league debut earlier this month. He’s also struck out a whopping 16 times during that span. The 23-year-old projects as a streaky power hitter for fantasy purposes and he’s been mostly cold of late, which makes it challenging to keep him rostered in shallow mixed leagues.

    Sam Antonacci and Colson Montgomery are out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Rangers.

    Antonacci and Montgomery take a seat with lefty MacKenzie Gore toeing the rubber for Texas in this one. Luisangel Acuña is at shortstop with Tristan Peters in left field. The 23-year-old rookie will continue to cede the occasional start against a southpaw for the final months of the year. It’ll be Miguel Vargas moving up to the leadoff spot in a strange-looking lineup from Chicago manager Will Venable.

    Athletics recalled RHP Chris Roycroft from Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Roycroft joins the Athletics’ beleaguered relief mix after being claimed off waivers from the Rays earlier this week. The 29-year-old has given up 23 runs on 37 hits, including eight homers, over 24 2/3 innings in the majors this season. He’s probably not going to be a great fit in Sutter Health Park’s extremely hitter-friendly environment.

    Athletics optioned RHP Hayden Juenger to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Juenger returns to the minors to make room for Chris Roycroft on the active roster. The 26-year-old has allowed 16 runs on 24 hits with a 6/8 K/BB ratio across 16 innings of work in the majors this season. Amazingly, he hasn’t allowed a home run. Go figure.
