Lowe off to 1.052 OPS start with Guardians

Drake Baldwin will slide to designated hitter. Murphy has gone 13-for-58 in his 17 games this season with two home runs, four RBI, and a 22/3 K/BB ratio.

The Nationals needed a roster spot for Riley Cornelio, so they decided to let Cosgrove go. The 30-year-old has a 7.71 ERA in 16 1/3 innings for the Nationals this season. He could return on a minor league deal.

Cornelio has a 5.40 ERA in 20 innings out of the bullpen for the Nationals this season. He will serve in a multi-inning relief role.

This was reported as a probability last night and is now official. Wood is hitting .265/.393/.535 with 100 runs scored, 30 homers, 73 RBI and 17 stolen bases across 535 plate appearances in 114 games and should be right back into the lineup for the Nationals and fantasy managers.

Harris had a 5.28 ERA in 46 innings at Triple-A. He was let go so the Braves could add Elieser Hernandez to the 40-man roster.

Burkhalter threw 23 pitches on Tuesday, so, despite just being called up by the Braves, he’s being sent back down to the minors. He has a 1.48 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 29/9 K/BB ratio in 24 1/3 innings at Triple-A, so he should get another chance this month.

Hernández has pitched to a 4.54 ERA in 81 1/3 innings for Triple-A Gwinnett this year. He has made 11 starts out of his 23 appearances and will provide depth for the Braves out of the bullpen.

This is now the second time Crochet has thrown off a mound as he inches closer to a return. The Red Sox have already said that he will not return to a starting role by the end of the regular season, given how much time he would need to ramp up. That also means Crochet could need less time on a rehab assignment because Boston may just want him to throw 2-3 innings at a time before the end of September. We still would be shocked to see him before the final week or two of the regular season.

Salas, who is 20 years old, is now officially the youngest player in MLB and, when the game begins today, will be the youngest player to appear at catcher in a game since Iván Rodríguez did back in October of 1991. There’s a pathway to playing time here for Salas if he can adapt quickly to MLB pitching.

Nimmo has spent much of his career as a leadoff man, so this is just his third five-RBI game and the first in which he didn’t drive himself in. He doubled in one in the first, singled in one in the third, singled in two in the fifth and singled in one in the sixth tonight. The Rangers were up 8-1 at that point and held on to with 8-5 after the A’s scored in each of the final three innings.
