    Making his 2026 debut, Nelson Velásquez went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer against his former team as the Cardinals edged the Cubs 6-5 on Friday.

    Velásquez took Shota Imanaga deep in his very first major league at-bat this season and later added a single. He was promoted primarily to play against lefties after hitting a modest .232/.344/.420 for Triple-A Memphis, but perhaps the strong showing tonight will keep him in the lineup against Ben Brown on Saturday.

    Brett Bateman (hamstring) returned to the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Yankees.

    Bateman suffered a mild hamstring strain during Wednesday’s contest against the Rays and sat out Thursday’s game as a precautionary measure. He’s back in there in center field and hitting atop the Jays’ lineup for Friday’s battle against Yankees’ right-hander Cam Schlittler.

    Marlins transferred RHP William Kempner to the 60-day injured list.

    Nothing has changed in the prognosis for the 25-year-old hurler, who has been shelved since mid-July with a right elbow sprain, this was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the club’s 40-man roster for Logan Driscoll on Friday. Kempner is set to undergo season-ending elbow surgery, though it remains unclear which procedure it will be.

    Astros recalled RHP Kai-Wei Teng from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    He’s been a spot starter at times this year, and with Ethan Pecko and Cristian Javier in the rotation Teng probably isn’t a sure-fire bet to remain in the pen. But for now, replacing Bryan King, it appears he’ll be part of the relief mix.

    Astros optioned LHP Bryan King to Triple-A Sugar Land.

    King allowed five earned runs yesterday as part of Los Angeles’ 18-3 blowout win. With King throwing 37 pitches, he was simply exchanged for a fresh arm. The unsightly game raised his season ERA to 4.75.

    Reds optioned RHP Zach Maxwell to Triple-A Louisville

    Maxwell appeared in two games since his August 17 call up and allowed one earned run in three innings. Tony Santillan’s return from the injured list left the Reds having to option someone and they picked Maxwell.

    Reds activated Tony Santillan from the 15-day injured list.

    He’ll return to the late game Reds bullpen group. Santillan may still have saves ahead of him if Emilio Pagán falters again, but it appears unlikely at this point. The 29-year old returns to a 5.23 ERA in 31 innings with the Reds so far this season.

    Yankees placed INF Ryan McMahon on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 20, with a left thumb sprain.

    Jose Caballero will likely be part of the hot corner solution for the Yankees in McMahon’s absence. McMahon is hitting .216/.282/.367 in 306 plate appearances this year with 10 homers.

    Sam Antonacci is not in Chicago’s starting lineup against the Mets on Friday.

    He sits against LHP Sean Manaea. Antonacci has started against LHPs here or there — he’s not in a strict platoon — but he’s hitting .225/.326/.263 against them this year so the White Sox are doing your fantasy team a favor.
