Phillies activated RHP Zach Pop from the 15-day injured list; designated him for assignment.

Pop went on the injured list with a calf strain since Apr. 15, but he’d been pitching in Triple-A on a rehab assignment for three weeks now, giving up eight earned runs in eight innings. It was time for the Phillies to decide whether to bring him back or not, and they decided to against it. The 29-year-old had a 3.68 ERA in 7 1/3 innings before getting hurt. He could stick around and stay with Lehigh Valley if he clears waivers.

Blue Jays designated RHP Simeon Woods Richardson for assignment.

Woods Richardson allowed six earned runs against the Royals yesterday night in what was apparently the last straw. The 25-year-old has a 6.68 ERA between the Royals and Twins this year and snuck through waivers when he was DFA’ed in late June. He’ll likely find himself outrighted again.

MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports Juan Soto (calf) does not anticipate needing a rehab assignment and his return “could happen in a matter of days.”

It sounds like if it’s not at some point this weekend against the Astros, Soto is in play to be activated for the September fantasy stretch run. He’s been out with a calf strain since late July.

Bo Bichette (foot) is in New York’s lineup on Friday against the Astros.

He missed last night’s game due to a foot contusion suffered against the Brewers on Wednesday. It evidently wasn’t all that serious. Bichette will take his hacks against RHP Hunter Brown.

Mets transferred DH Jorge Polanco from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

That will officially rule him out for the season. The 33-year-old finished the season with a wretched .148/.201/.230 line in 145 plate appearances while dealing with Achilles and ankle injuries. He’s under contract for next year in New York, where he will again not be Pete Alonso.

The former Astros All-Star spent most of the year with Pittsburgh’s minor leagues before being outrighted. He signed with the Mets on August 12. Devenski has a 1.13 ERA in 24 minor-league innings this year and the 35-year-old will be in the low leverage mix for the Mets.

Chase DeLauter (hamstring) is in Cleveland’s starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Royals.

He’d missed three consecutive games this week and three consecutive games last weeks while dealing with the issue. DeLauter will be tough to trust in weekly leagues next week unless he plays often this weekend or we get encouraging quotes, but managers in daily transaction leagues should fire him up.

Reds recalled INF Edwin Arroyo from Triple-A Louisville.

He’s not in today’s lineup — Matt McLain is at second base — but he could get major at-bats down the stretch as the Reds see what they have in the 23-year-old. He starts off the fantasy radar after a .244/.286/.282 start with one stolen base and zero homers in 142 plate appearances.
