Pozo had been with the Rangers since signing as an international free agent in 2016 before spending this past season in the Athletics organization. He made his MLB debut in 2021, slashing .284/.312/.378 with one home run and nine RBI in 21 games. He has not appeared in an MLB game since then but will serve as organizational catching depth.

Caminero extended Tampa Bay’s early lead with 116.8-mph single to left field in the second inning before taking Orioles reliever Cameron Foster deep for a three-run blast in the fifth inning. It was his second consecutive contest with a big fly and his 13th round-tripper of the season. He’s gone deep five times since May 1.

Gore needed 28 pitches to get through his lone inning of work, with his fastball velocity down considerably before he was replaced by reliever Peyton Gray. He was charged with two runs on three hits. He struck out two and also issued a pair of walks. It certainly sounds like a potential injured list situation. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

Lauer will slot into the Dodgers’ six-man rotation after being acquired from the Blue Jays in a trade over the weekend. The 30-year-old lefty struggled to a bloated 6.69 ERA across 36 1/3 innings for Toronto earlier this season. He’s unlikely to carry any semblance of fantasy value unless Los Angeles’ pitching apparatus is able to unlock something to get him back on track. It’s a noteworthy development since he’ll take over Blake Snell’s rotation spot with prospect River Ryan likely staying in the minors.

Snell will have the same innovative procedure, which is less invasive and uses a smaller incision than a typical arthroscopic surgery, that Tigers ace Tarik Skubal underwent earlier this month. The hope that he’ll be able to return within roughly 4-6 weeks after the procedure. There should be a definitive timetable once he starts ramping up his throwing program in a couple weeks.

Roberts didn’t specify how long Glasnow will be shut down, but it sounds like he’ll get a couple days off to let the issue subside. The 32-year-old hit the shelf with back spasms last week and has yet to progress to throwing off a bullpen mound. Back issues can be tricky matters which makes it challenging to predict when Glasnow will be ready to return.

Hernández represents a zero-risk lottery ticket for the Dodgers after posting a 22/5 K/BB ratio across 15 innings at the Triple-A level this season. The 29-year-old heads to Los Angeles after opting out of his minor league contract with the Phillies earlier this week. He hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2024, but has posted a serviceable 4.29 ERA across 153 innings dating back to 2019.
