Edwards wasted little time putting the Marlins on the scoreboard on Friday. He got a hold of a middle-high fastball from Foster Griffin on the fifth pitch of his leadoff at-bat, and promptly discarded it 420 feet into deep left center to give the Marlins their first run of the day. Edwards’ homer would give the Marlins one of their two runs on the night, as Griffin stifled the Fish for much of the night on his way to one of his best outings of the season. Edwards continues to swing a hot bat and is slashing .318/.400/.591 in his last seven games.

Anderson, who was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on July 11, will work in middle relief. He allowed three runs in eight innings for Boston earlier this year, and he had a 4.57 ERA over 61 innings while mostly starting games in Triple-A.

Pitching in MLB for the first time, Go gave up four runs over four innings in four appearances for the Twins. He’s sticking on the 40-man for now, so he might get another chance at some point.

It’s the third leg injury that Teel has suffered this year, joining the hamstring strain he sustained in the World Baseball Classic and the knee injury that came about while on a rehab assignment in May. He’d hit .190/.271/.317 in 19 games since returning in June. Drew Romo and Edgar Quero will resume sharing the catcher role in Chicago.

Quero had his just .230/.299/.295 in 15 games since being sent down, though that .594 OPS is still considerably better than his .486 OPS in 55 games before losing his spot. He’ll split time with Drew Romo while Kyle Teel is out.

Boston determined it wanted to give Suarez at least one more day before activating Suarez as originally planned. This could in part be weather-related, as there’s a chance for heavy precipitation in Boston before/during Tuesday’s contest. Either way, it does appear Suarez not coming off the injured list is just a precautionary measure, and he should be back shortly.

Carrasco is now free to find another opportunity, if he wants one. The 39-year-old was designated for assignment by Atlanta a whopping five times without being claimed, and it’s not impossible that they’ll look to re-sign him again if there’s a need for depth.

Kelly is now off the 40-man roster. The 31-year-old veteran would not be eligible to pitch for Boston until near the end of September, and it’s certainly likely that his 2026 season is over.

Instead, Eduardo Rivera will get the start. Interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed Monday that Suarez would be get the nod and come off the 15-day IL, but now fantasy managers will need to wait for an update to see when the 30-year-old will return to the mound. It’s worth noting that there is a chance for heavy rain Tuesday evening, and that certainly could be a factor into why the Red Sox are pushing Suarez.

As Passan notes, Paredes has only one more year of team control, but his free agency lines up with Jeremy Peña’s free agency, and it’s unlike that the Astros will keep both players. Paredes can play both infield spots and would be an interesting target if the Astros decided to move on from him in two weeks.

It’s been a long road back for Thorpe, who had Tommy John surgery in April of 2025 and then had an appendectomy in May of this year. The right-hander is a former top prospect from the Yankees, who was traded to the Padres as part of the Juan Soto deal. He was later traded from the Padres to the White Sox as part of the Dylan Cease trade. It’s unlikely he will make much of an impact for the White Sox this season, but a strong end of the year could set him up as a rotation option in 2027.
