Seiya Suzuki smacks two-run homer

He’ll replace Franco Aleman in the Guardians’ bullpen. Brogdon, 31, made 15 appearances with the Guardians earlier in the season, posting a 5.28 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 14/3 K/BB ratio across 15 1/3 innings of work. He’ll function in a middle relief role.

McLain was a late scratch from Saturday’s lineup due to left shoulder soreness and he’s still not feeling good enough to give it a go on Sunday. The Reds maintain that it’s a day-to-day situation and McLain isn’t expected to require a return trip to the injured list. Juan Brito will cover second base in his absence and bat seventh for the Reds against Brewers’ southpaw Robert Gasser on Sunday.

The 33-year-old superstar has really struggled since returning from a broken hamate bone, slashing a woeful .214/.289/.270 with just one homer, 15 RBI and seven stolen bases in 180 plate appearances across 42 games. Angel Genao will cover third base in his absence and will bat seventh for the Guardians against Twins’ right-hander Joe Ryan.

Baty missed the first two games of the series after exiting Wednesday’s contest with left knee pain. He’s back in there at second base and will bat eighth against Yankees’ ace Cam Schlittler on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

The Phillies needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to accommodate the return of Tanner Banks on Sunday and Cairo found himself on the outside looking in. The 25-year-old infielder has had a disappointing season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, slashing .227/.378/.298 with four homers, 35 RBI and 25 stolen bases (in 36 attempts) over 516 plate appearances. It’s likely he’ll slip through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra infield depth for the Phillies.

With Tanner Banks (forearm) returning from the injured list on Sunday, someone needed to get the boot to clear a spot in the Phillies’ bullpen and it looks like Holman drew the short straw this time. The 26-year-old righty made just one appearance in his time with the big league club, giving up four unearned runs in 1/3 of an inning.

The 34-year-old southpaw rejoins the Phillies’ bullpen after being shelved since early July due to a forearm strain. Before landing on the injured list, he had posted a miserable 7.14 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a 32/13 K/BB ratio across 29 innings in 28 outings. Grant Holman was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move to clear a spot in the Phillies’ bullpen.

While he’s active and in uniform on Sunday, the 26-year-old speedster is not in the Nationals’ starting lineup for the club’s series finale against the Angels. Eddy Yean was optioned to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the Nationals’ active roster.

It’s nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 24-year-old outfielder. James Wood will shift to right field with Andres Chaparro drawing a start as the Nats’ designated hitter. He’ll bat third against Angels’ inconsistent right-hander Grayson Rodriguez.

Edman has been a fixture atop the Dodgers’ lineup since Shohei Ohtani was shelved, so he’ll get a well-deserved day off in this one. Miguel Rojas will cover second base in his absence and will hit eighth against Marlins’ right-hander Eury Perez.
