It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 24-year-old outfielder. Callahan, a 13th round selection from the 2023 draft class, has slashed .269/.365/.443 with 13 homers, 56 RBI, 29 stolen bases and a 94/46 K/BB ratio over 416 plate appearances between Triple-A Toledo and Double-A Erie this season. He’ll help to provide depth in the Tigers’ outfield while they’re dealing with a plethora of injuries.

The 28-year-old outfielder went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in two games with the Tigers this season. It seems likely that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra outfield depth at Triple-A Toledo.

With Garrett Whitlock also being shelved, the Red Sox’ bullpen has taken a major hit in the past couple of days. It’ll be interesting to see how the Red Sox reconfigure their bullpen to bridge the gap to Aroldis Chapman in the ninth inning.

With Ray Kerr joining the big league roster on Sunday, someone needed to get the boot from the Braves’ bullpen and unfortunately for Young, he drew the short straw this time. The 32-year-old has struggled to an 8.03 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and a 15/13 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings in 16 appearances with the Braves this season.

The 31-year-old southpaw has finally made it all the way back after undergoing surgery in June o 2024 to repair a torn UCL in his pitching elbow. He made nine appearances across four minor league levels, posting a 3.09 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and a 16/5 K/BB ratio across 11 2/3 innings. He should provide a nice boost to the Braves’ bullpen.

The 35-year-old southpaw struck out eight batters in the contest while issuing a pair of walks. Seven of those eight runs came during the first inning, after which he settled in nicely. He threw 80 pitches (56 strikes) in the ballgame, so physically he’s probably ready to rejoin the Angels’ rotation over the weekend unless they want to see him have success in a minor league setting first.

The 28-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since mid-July due to right hip inflammation. He should only need a couple of outings there before he’s cleared to rejoin the Diamondbacks’ bullpen.

Langford’s 14th homer off J.T. Ginn gave the Rangers a 4-3 lead in the sixth and gave Langford his first runs batted in since Aug. 1. He’d gone 3-for-37 in his previous 12 games, which led to him receiving a day off on Wednesday.

Gore pitched better against the Giants and Angels in his previous two starts, but this one earned him his first win of August. He’s now 7-9 with a 4.45 ERA overall, and he should be a nice play with a home start versus the Halos next week.

Latz hadn’t pitched since Monday, so the Rangers asked him for six outs tonight, and he recorded them without incident. He did allow a hit in the eighth, but a caught stealing allowed him to face the minimum over the two innings. Since he did throw 36 pitches, he’ll probably be unavailable Sunday.
