Ron Villone ruined the shutout bid by giving up a two-run homer to Troy Glaus in the ninth. Wang walked three and gave up a single in the second, but the Jays didn’t score because Glaus was thrown out on an ill-advised steal attempt. They never seriously threatened again. Wang remains vulnerable whenever anyone gets on base against him -- the league is hitting .320 against him with runners on -- but he just isn’t letting that first hitter reach lately. He’s now 13-4 with a 3.58 ERA.

The 32-year-old outfielder had a labral repair with decompression and a cam resection procedure. Everything went according to plan, and Buxton is expected to be fully recovered and ready to go in time for spring training.

Law had been designated for assignment on Wednesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 36-year-old hurler pitched very well in seven appearances for the Diamondbacks, posting a 1.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 5/2 K/BB ratio over nine innings of work. He’ll continue to operate as extra bullpen depth.

Urías was designated for assignment on Wednesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. It’s possible that a club in need of a strong utility infielder could scoop him up for the final 10 days of the regular season.

The 32-year-old outfielder was designated for assignment on Sunday after slashing a dismal .210/.254/.290 with two homers and 22 RBI in 201 plate appearances. He’s now free to start exploring options on the open market.

Jays’ manager John Schneider noted that the 28-year-old infielder’s ailing hamstring is finally feeling better, but that they wanted to give him one extra day to be on the safe side. He will be available off the bench on Friday night and is expected to start on Saturday.

He’s still looking at a six-week recovery window, but he’ll be able to complete his normal offseason routine without issue and should be ready to go for the start of spring training. He finished the 2025 campaign with a solid 3.13 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 48/13 K/BB ratio over 31 2/3 innings out of the Angels’ bullpen.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 31-year-old infielder. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at second base and will bat fifth for the Dodgers against Giants’ left-hander Cesar Perdomo.

The 26-year-old infielder had been stationed at Triple-A Buffalo. Sosa hit just .195/.207/.283 with one homer and nine RBI in 117 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and White Sox this season. He’s now free to explore the open market looking for other opportunities.

The 29-year-old hurler has spent the entire season at Triple-A Round Rock where he registered a 4.42 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 74/42 K/BB ratio over 55 innings in 50 appearances. He’ll function in a middle relief role for the Rangers down the stretch.

The 27-year-old southpaw has really struggled in 42 appearances with the Rangers this season, posting a 6.08 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 34/15 K/BB ratio over 37 innings of work. He’ll continue to refine his craft at the Triple-A level for the time being.
