Carter Jensen is absent from the Royals’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees.

Jansen has been seeing nearly everyday action between the catcher and designated hitter spots in the lineup, so he’ll get a breather on Sunday. Elias Diaz will start behind the plate for the Royals and will bat ninth against Yankees’ left-hander Ryan Weathers.

Angels sent LHP Samy Natera Jr. on a rehab assignment to High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

Assuming Natera’s rehab assignment goes well, he should be a potential late-inning option for the Angels in early September.

Joe Musgrove

SD Starting Pitcher #44

Joe Musgrove (elbow) allowed one run in five innings for Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Musgrove needed just 60 pitches to get through five frames and threw 70 percent of his pitches for strikes. He had just three whiffs on the day, but this has all the makings of a veteran in his final rehab start who was not really letting it fly. Musgrove has pitched well in the minors and seems healthy and can be added on waivers before his season debut next week.

Cubs activated INF/OF Matt Shaw (hand) from the 10-day injured list.

Shaw has been out since late June with a hand strain. Now that he’s back, we have to wonder how the Cubs are going to split playing time between Shaw and Pedro Ramirez. Ramirez has been really solid so far this season, but the Cubs may look to get Shaw, their former top prospect, a few starts a week in the final month of the season. That could cannibalize both of their fantasy values.

Landen Roupp

SF Starting Pitcher #65

Landen Roupp limited the D-backs to one run over five innings in the Giants’ 6-1 win Thursday.

Roupp was too inefficient to pull off a quality start, but he did get his first win since July 17. This does make six straight outings in which he’s failed to complete six innings. He’ll take an 8-13 record and a 4.25 ERA into his next start against the Pirates.

Jose Cabrera

Jose Cabrera yielded two runs in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a loss to the Giants.

This looked like it might be a very short outing from Cabrera after he got a visit from the pitching coach in the first, but he did at least manage to get 13 outs. It took him 30 pitches to get the first three and then only 40 more for the remaining 10. If Cabrera sticks around after this, he’ll likely face the Phillies next Wednesday. The D-backs hope to get Michael Soroka back after that.

Drew Gilbert hit a leadoff homer and drove in a second run with a sac fly Thursday against the D-backs.

Gilbert’s homer to one of the deepest parts of Oracle Park checked in 407 feet. He’s hit a solid .243/.324/.392 in 329 plate appearances, but it sure would be nice if he offered any baserunning value at all; he’s 1-for-5 stealing bases this year.

Gabriel Moreno

Gabriel Moreno homered for the Diamondbacks’ only run Thursday against the Giants.

Moreno is up to .303/.383/.471 through 105 games, and he’s pretty clearly been one of baseball’s top three catchers this year. The potential has always been there if he could stay healthy, and though his durability is still in question, he’s a legitimate star right now.

Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

X-rays on the injured hand of Astros’ shortstop Jeremy Peña came back negative for any fractures on Thursday.

Astros’ fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. Peña was hit on the knuckles of both his pinkie and ring finger on his left hand with a 96-mph fastball from Gerrit Cole. While he’s dealing with a bit of swelling and soreness, he shouldn’t require any sort of extended absence from the lineup. He’s considered day-to-day.

Red Sox signed C Tomás Nido to a minor league contract.

The 32-year-old backstop has appeared in 43 games at the Triple-A level for the Tigers this season, slashing .236/.317/.368 with three homers and 10 RBI. He’ll add quality catching depth for the Red Sox.
