Twins recalled RHP John Klein from Triple-A St. Paul.

Klein provides Minnesota’s overworked bullpen with a fresh arm heading into Saturday’s showdown against the Pirates. The 24-year-old rookie allowed two runs over 2 1/3 innings of work during his first call up to the majors earlier this month.

Connelly Early (elbow) is set to make his Nationals’ debut on Saturday against the Mets.

The 24-year-old southpaw made his final minor league rehab start at Triple-A Rochester on Monday where he allowed three unearned runs over 1 2/3 innings of work. He’s unlikely to work deep enough into Saturday’s game to earn a victory, which makes him an unappealing streaming option for fantasy purposes.

Connor Norby is not in the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday night’s skirmish against the White Sox in Chicago.

Norby has been seeing regular action between second base and third base for the Rockies down the stretch, but he’ll take a seat in this one while Adael Amador starts in his place at second base and will bat second against White Sox’ right-hander Sean Burke. Norby has hit .306/.387/.468 with three homers, 17 RBI and four stolen bases in 142 plate appearances since joining the Rockies.

Red Sox recalled RHP Jedixson Paez from Triple-A Worcester.

Paez will give the Red Sox another bullpen arm that’s capable of working multiple innings for the second half of Friday’s doubleheader against the Cubs. The 22-year-old has been crushed to the tune of an 18.90 ERA and 2.85 WHIP over 6 2/3 innings in four appearances with the Red Sox this season.

Red Sox optioned LHP Raymond Burgos to Triple-A Worcester.

Burgos fired two perfect innings against the Cubs in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader, protecting a one-run advantage to earn a save. He was then optioned out before the nightcap so the Red Sox could add a fresh arm to the staff in Jedixson Paez. It’s possible that Burgos could get another opportunity with the Red Sox for the postseason.

Red Sox’ manager Chad Tracy told reporters Friday afternoon that Mickey Gasper will undergo an MRI exam on his injured right biceps.

Gasper was pulled from the first game of Friday’s doubleheader against the Cubs after suffering the injury while swinging the bat. The discomfort is significant enough that it could warrant a trip to the injured list. Expect the Red Sox to provide an update as soon as more information becomes available.

Diamondbacks recalled RHP Jose Cabrera from Triple-A Reno.

With Corbin Burnes (shoulder) landing on the injured list on Friday, Cabrera will rejoin the Diamondbacks for the final weekend of the season. If he’s not needed out of the bullpen before Sunday, he could get the ball in place of Burnes for the regular season finale against the Padres in San Diego.

Roman Anthony tripled, doubled twice, walked and scored three times in leading the Red Sox to a 4-3 win over the Cubs in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader.

The win ensures that the Red Sox will get the fifth seed and face the Yankees in the Bronx in the Wild Card. It’s Anthony’s second time doubling twice and first time collecting three extra-base hits in a major league game. He’d struggled a bit the last two weeks, but he’s hit a fine .265/.321/.490 in 23 games since coming off the injured list at the end of last month.

After taking over in the third, Jake Bennett threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings against the Cubs in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader.

Bemnett helped his case for a spot on the Wild Card roster. He’s not going to start against the Yankees, but he might get some innings in if one of the guys ahead of him struggles. Bennett ends the regular season with a 9-7 record, a 3.65 ERA and a 91/21 KBB in 113 1/3 innings.

Raymond Burgos retired all six batters he faced, striking out three of them, for his second save Friday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Cubs.

The Red Sox avoided their top relievers in the first game today, but that worked out fine in the 4-3 win. Burgos, who also pitched two scoreless innings last night, has a 4.22 ERA over 21 1/3 innings.

Clay Holmes yielded three runs in 4 1/3 innings versus the Red Sox in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader.

Holmes allowed five hits, walked three and struck out three. He’s not exactly ending the season on a high note, having allowed 19 earned runs with a 15/15 K/BB over 19 2/3 innings in his final four starts. Still, he has a nice 3.29 ERA for the year anyway. He was probably in line for a Wild Card start, but he’s definitely opened the door to be bypassed, assuming that Kevin Gausman is ready to pitch.
