    Davis Martin allowed five hits and four runs with two walks and six strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Wednesday.

    Martin did not get off to a good start in this game. With one out in the first, he allowed a double, walk, single, and then three-run home run to cap off a four-run first inning for the Yankees. He righted the ship after that, though, with five scoreless frames. That helped open the door for what became a thrilling comeback win for the White Sox. Back to Martin, his command came back to him after that rough first inning and the Yankees never challenged him after it. It’s been a rough few months relative to his outstanding April and May, but this was a potential step in the right direction. He’s scheduled for a two-start week coming up, first against the Red Sox in Fenway and then the Guardians back at home.

    Héctor Rodríguez is leading off on Monday against the Padres.

    Rodríguez is one of the more tantalizing power/speed combo talents to enter the fantasy landscape this season and appears to finally be finding his footing after experiencing some initial turbulence at the highest level. The 22-year-old rookie is leading off for the third time in the last five games after launching a three-run homer during Sunday’s lopsided game against the Cubs. He’s homered four times in his last seven games and is hitting .370 (10-for-27) during that span.

    Brewers activated RHP Abner Uribe from the 15-day injured list.

    Uribe returns to Milwaukee’s high-leverage equation after missing just over two weeks with a flexor strain. The 26-year-old has posted a sparkling 2.05 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 48/18 K/BB ratio across 48 1/3 innings of work. He’s one of the best setup specialists in baseball and has also converted six saves this season. He’ll likely continue helping bridge the gap to closer Trevor Megill heading towards the postseason.

    Brewers placed RHP Bryse Wilson on the 15-day injured list with a lower back strain.

    Wilson heads to the shelf with Abner Uribe coming off the injured list. The 28-year-old has made 12 appearances during a couple of stints with the Brewers this season. He’s also pitched for the Cubs and Phillies.

    White Sox acquired OF Jake Cave from the Rays for cash.

    Cave joins Tommy Pham as additional outfield depth for Chicago at Triple-A Charlotte. The 33-year-old journeyman hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since the 2024 campaign. He signed a minor league deal with the Rays back in late June. He’s merely organizational fodder at this stage of his career.

    Mariners activated RHP Cooper Criswell from the 60-day injured list.

    Criswell returns to Seattle’s relief mix for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox, his former club, after missing nearly two months with a right shoulder strain. The 30-year-old swingman has posted a serviceable 3.52 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 23/8 K/BB ratio across 30 2/3 innings this season.

    Mariners placed RHP Nick Davila on the 15-day injured list with an SC joint sprain.

    Davila is highly likely to miss the remainder of the season. The 27-year-old allowed three runs during his lone inning of work against the Blue Jays on Sunday shortly after being recalled from the minors. He’s made 24 relief appearances for Seattle this season, posting a respectable 4.94 ERA across 27 1/3 innings of work.

    Mariners transferred SS Colt Emerson to the 60-day injured list.

    Emerson is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing left wrist tendon repair surgery earlier this month. The 21-year-old former top prospect is expected to have a mostly normal offseason and be ready for spring training. He projects as Seattle’s shortstop of the future with J.P. Crawford set to reach free agency in the offseason.

    Kyle Bradish will have his next start pushed back to Tuesday against the Rockies.

    Cade Povich will start Monday’s series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field with Bradish taking the ball on Tuesday instead. There doesn’t appear to be a physical issue at play here, but the Orioles want to give him some extra rest. The 29-year-old is coming off a disastrous outing against the Cardinals last week where he was torched for seven runs over 4 1/3 innings. It’s challenging to trust Bradish in Coors Field, especially in shallow mixed leagues. There’s a chance his next outing against the Red Sox this weekend could also get pushed back, eliminating a two-start week in the process. There are superior alternatives on the waivers wire in most shallow mixed leagues.

    Nationals manager Blake Butera said CJ Abrams will have closer to a “50-50 split” between shortstop and second base for the rest of the season.

    Butera highlighted Abrams’ strong play at shortstop recently as a motivating factor behind the decision to reverse course on their original plan. There’s a chance the Nationals bring up top prospect Seaver King when rosters expand later this week, which would further complicate the equation. Regardless, it sounds like the club is slowly backing away from a permanent move off the position for Abrams, which is going to be a variable to monitor during the offseason and spring training.

    Elly De La Cruz (quad) is in the lineup at DH for Monday’s series opener against the Padres.

    It’s a massive development for fantasy purposes after De La Cruz made an early exit from Sunday’s game against the Cubs with left quad tightness. Reds manager Terry Francona told reporters De La Cruz has been diagnosed with a small strain, but the expectation is that he’ll be able to manage and play through the injury unless it gets worse. There’s always a chance that De La Cruz ultimately winds up requiring a trip to the injured list, but it sounds like the Reds are going to let him play through the minor ailment for now.
