Aranda drives in two in loss to Orioles

Lee, 28, is sent down to make room for Rickey Tiedemann. The right-hander will likely get another shot with Toronto before the season concludes with rosters expanding in a few weeks.

Tiedemann will have a chance to make his MLB debut over the weekend. The 23-year-old was once among the very best pitching prospects in baseball, but injuries and less than spectacular results when healthy have seen his stock drop somewhat considerably. It’s likely he’ll just be a middle-inning option in this current stint with Toronto.

Guerrero Jr. is currently gong through the concussion protocol, and it’s worth noting that Daz Cameron reportedly has a locker. For now, the 27-year-old is just out of Saturday’s lineup, but fantasy managers should be prepared for a potential stint on the seven-day IL. In the meantime, Charles McAdoo will hit ninth and handle first base duties.

Peralta will get the start, but this will be a bullpen game for the Padres. The 35-year-old will go an inning or two before giving way to another pen arm.

Quero is down after the White Sox officially added Jake Rogers to the active roster. The 23-year-old backstop has not lived up to his prospect hype thus far, and it may take a change in organizations for him to get enough opportunity for him to do so.

Báez will be making his MLB debut against the Cubs after hitting 34 homers and slashing .256/.328/.573 in Triple-A. He’ll hit fifth and play left field. The 23-year-old has immense power, but he does have the potential for contact issues as seen in 136 strikeouts over 103 games. That being said, he also has stolen 21 bases — after stealing 54 in 2025 — so there’s tremendous reward that comes with the inherited risks in Báez’s profile.

Braydon Fisher is going to get the start against the Yankees on Saturday, but he won’t be able to go more than a turn through the lineup at most. Woods Richardson seems likely to be the bulk hurler for that game, but even with a chance to pick up multiple innings and potentially a win, he offers more risk than reward at this point.

Freeland struck out only two and gave up 11 hard-hit balls, but the only damage against him came on Bryce Eldridge’s homer in the fourth. Freeland has allowed three earned runs in his three starts this month, lowering his ERA from 7.34 to 6.27. He’ll make his next start at home against the Dodgers. It’ll be his first time facing them in Coors this year after giving up 14 earned runs over nine innings in two starts in L.A.

According to Statcast, Roupp would have given up three homers in 29 ballparks tonight. However, at Oracle Park, those three batted balls, all in the 410-foot range, produced one homer, one triple and one double. Roupp has lost four straight starts, yielding 14 earned runs in 19 1/3 innings in the process, and the Giants are an incredible 2-16 in his last 18 turns. He’s slated to pitch in Cleveland next time out.

Veen’s blast to right was hit 111 mph off of Landen Roupp, giving him two homers in two games since his recall. That the Rockies play six games at home next week would seem to make him an interesting pickup, but, unfortunately, the team is currently slated to face lefties in four of those games and Veen is expected to do a lot of sitting against lefties. Maybe he can change that if he stays hot this weekend.
