    Royals optioned RHP Jose Cuas to Triple-A Omaha.

    Cuas’s latest stint with the Royals is going to be remembered for his hesitation delivery to Dodgers slugger Max Muncy. That’s pretty much it. The 32-year-old heads back to the minors after forging a respectable 1.64 ERA across 11 innings of work.

    Cuas was just optioned to Triple-A on Monday, but with Maikel Garcia (hamstring) hitting the injured list on Friday, they’re able to bring him back before the 10 days are up. The 32-year-old hurler holds a stellar 1.64 ERA and a 13/4 K/BB ratio despite a shaky 1.46 WHIP over 11 innings in 10 appearances with the Royals this season. He’ll function in a middle relief role once again for manager Matt Quatraro.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas is up to join the Royals pen for a third time this season after allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings the first two go arounds. He has a career 4.30 ERA in 125 2/3 innings since debuting in 2022.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas pitched in five games with the Royals in this latest stint, and he now carries a 2.84 ERA, nine strikeouts, one walk and eight hits allowed in 6 1/3 innings pitched. He did allow some inherited runners to score, we suppose, but we’re mildly surprised the Royals aren’t interested in seeing more. After 32 pitches over the past two days, he heads back to the Storm Chasers.

    Cuas is up to take the roster spot of Stephen Kolek with Kolek going on the family medical emergency list before Saturday’s game against the Phillies. He’ll be a bullpen option for Kansas City while he’s with the club.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas time with the big league club lasted just one day this time around as the 32-year-old hurler heads back to Triple-A Omaha with Stephen Kolek returning from the family medical emergency list on Thursday. Cuas allowed one run on two hits while striking out three batters over two innings against the Rays on Wednesday.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas finds himself back with the Royals after spending the first three months of the year toiling away on the doorstep of the majors. The 32-year-old made 92 appearances for Kansas City from 2022-2023 and hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since the 2024 campaign.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas returns to the Royals; the organization he’s had the most MLB success with in his short career. The 31-year-old will need to have a strong spring training if he’s going to join the Kansas City bullpen.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas was in camp this spring with the Phillies after making 13 relief appearances last year between the Cubs and Blue Jays. The 30-year-old righty provides Atlanta with some extra organizational relief depth. He holds a serviceable 4.37 ERA across 119 1/3 innings (132 appearances) in the majors since 2022.
  • PHI 2nd Baseman #29
    Castro represents the lone position player shipped out to minor league camp in the latest batch of Phillies cuts. There are a handful of notable relief options sent packing here with Vespi, McMillion, Zuniga, Cuas and Kuhnel all likely to get chances in Philadelphia as middle relief depth. Aoyagi pitched well in three spring appearances after signing a minor-league contract with the Phillies. He’ll open the year back at Triple-A Lehigh Valley as extra depth.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas went unclaimed after being designated for assignment near the end of December. The right-hander could elect free agency, but if not he’ll provide some depth for the Philly staff in the minors for the 2025 campaign.

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo is hopeful Michael Soroka will come off the IL as soon as his 15 days are up.

    Soroka, who gave up six runs to the Reds on Saturday, was placed on the IL today due to shoulder inflammation. “He’s going to hopefully be ready on Day 16,” Lovullo said. “The plan is to get him a couple days down, get him back on the bump and miss as few days as possible.”

    Cal Quantrill shut out the Angels for six innings Sunday in the Rangers’ 5-3 victory.

    Quantrill has pitched 13 scoreless innings in his last two starts and is now an impressive 6-4 with a 2.90 ERA in 10 starts and 17 relief appearances this season. He was 16-30 with a 5.39 ERA over the previous three years. Quantrill will likely start in Milwaukee next weekend.

    Jacob Latz worked a scoreless ninth for his 26th save Sunday against the Angels.

    Latz gave up a leadoff double to Christian Moore with a two-run lead, but he got out of it after intentionally walking Mike Trout with two outs and striking out Moisés Ballesteros to end the game. He’s pitched eight scoreless innings and earned five saves over his last six appearances.

    Elias Díaz had a solo homer and a sac fly Sunday in the win over the Angels.

    Díaz has survived the return of Danny Jansen from the IL and today’s promotion of Logan O’Hoppe, but he’s still facing the eventual activation of Kyle Higashioka next month as he looks to hold on to a roster spot. He’s hit .234/.252/.369 with four homers in 55 games since joining the Rangers at the beginning of June.

    Yusei Kikuchi was tagged for five runs in five innings Sunday to take a loss to the Rangers in his return from the IL.

    Kikuchi, who had been out since the end of April with shoulder inflammation, gave up eight runs in his last rehab start, so this was an improvement. Ezequiel Duran and Elias Díaz homered for two of the 11 hard-hit balls he gave up. Kikuchi is 0-4 with a 6.30 ERA this season. He’ll probably make his next start next Sunday against the Phillies.

    Nick Sogard homered, doubled and walked Sunday as the Red Sox defeated the Giants 5-4.

    The Red Sox need to free up three roster spots with Roman Anthony, Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner-Falefa all due back this week, but Sogard, who has taken over as Boston’s starting second baseman, has to stick around. He has two homers, four doubles, five singles and six walks in his last six games, raising his OPS from .663 to .827.

    Jake Bennett tossed seven innings and allowed four runs — three earned — in a win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Bennett gave up two runs in a first and would have allowed more if not for an exceptional catch from Ceddanne Rafaela in center. He then allowed a Jonah Cox homer in the second. However, Bennett made things looks easy after that, with the lone remaining run scoring on a double error that gave Christian Koss a Little League homer. Bennett was pitching on nine days’ rest after back-to-back subpar outings against the A’s and Pirates. He’s over his career high in innings, so the Red Sox will try to tread carefully with him the rest of the way. It’s just not going to be easy with the team seemingly postseason bound and Payton Tolle in the same boat as Bennett.

    Aroldis Chapman protected a one-run lead in the ninth for his 29th save Sunday against the Giants.

    Chapman has two saves in three days after going 19 days without one. The save today was the 396th of his career.

    Matt Wilkinson lost to the Red Sox after allowing four runs in 3 2/3 innings on Sunday.

    He allowed seven hits, walked none and struck out two. Wilkinson threw 66 pitches on three days’ rest after his two-inning MLB debut on Wednesday. With Adrian Houser moving back to the rotation, it’s unclear if Wilkinson will get a start next time through. Sending him down for a fresh arm might be a possibility.

    Jonah Cox went 2-for-4 and homered Sunday against the Red Sox.

    Cox homered in his 10th big-league game back in June, but that was off Carson Kelly in 16-3 game against the Cubs. This one came off Jake Bennett in the second. Cox, who could be looking at more playing time if Victor Bericoto goes on the IL, is batting .255/.255/.489 through 50 plate appearances. He’s struck out 26 times, but he has a .526 BABIP, which seems totally sustainable.
