White Sox recalled LHP Tyler Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte.

He’ll be part of the low leverage mix for the next few days while Tyler Schweitzer is on the paternity list. Gilbert hasn’t pitched in the bigs since early June and holds a 4.64 ERA in 20 games for the Knights this year, walking 10 and striking out 31 in 33 innings.

White Sox activated DH Andrew Benintendi from the bereavement list.

He’ll be back in the mix for strong-side platoon at-bats going forward, and seems likely to start tonight against RHP Dean Kremer.

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 (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.

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

AZ Catcher #14

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.
