Scott had another excellent outing on Saturday, keeping the Marlins off the board over four innings before giving up one run on a walk and a hit in the fifth. He’d complete the fifth inning at 96 pitches while matching a season-high with eight strikeouts. The 26-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 2.97 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 38/16 K/BB ratio across 30 1/3 innings. He’ll look to keep it going against the Padres in San Diego on Friday.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine day off for the Guardians’ shortstop. Daniel Schneemann will start in his place and will bat seventh against White Sox’ southpaw Chris Murphy on Sunday in Cleveland.

The Yankees haven’t said that Goldschmidt is dealing with any sort of physical issue, but this is the third time that he has been held out of the lineup in the last four games, so it’s possible that there’s something minor going on there. It’s also possible that they wanted to give him a couple days to clear his head after scuffling a bit at the plate over the last few weeks. Jasson Dominguez will serve as the team’s designated hitter on Sunday with Max Schuemann drawing a start in right field and batting seventh against Twins’ right-hander Joe Ryan.

Alvarez has started every game this week either behind the plate or as the designated hitter, so he’ll get a well-deserved breather in this one. Luis Torrens will start behind the dish and bat eighth for the Mets against Braves’ southpaw Martin Perez.

The 26-year-old right-hander will start in Sunday’s series finale against the Astros in Houston. It’s unclear if the plan is for him to work as a traditional starter or if he’ll just work a couple of innings as an opener in what will turn into a full bullpen game for the Rays. Englert holds a 3.96 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 19/6 K/BB ratio over 25 frames in 12 appearances with the Rays this season.

Martin has pitched decently in six appearances for the Rays this season, registering a 3.97 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and a 7/4 K/BB ratio across 11 1/3 innings. He made just one appearance during his most recent stint with the big league club though, working a scoreless inning on June 28. Mason Englert was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move on Sunday.

It’s the first trip back to the big leagues for Zuñiga since he made 17 appearances out of the Angels’ bullpen during the 2024 campaign. The 27-year-old righty holds a 3.29 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and an 18/12 K/BB ratio over 13 2/3 innings in 14 appearances in the minor leagues this season. Joey Gerber was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move on Sunday.

The Yankees had an opportunity to add a fresh arm to their bullpen after Brendan Beck was optioned out following his start on Saturday, so Chivilli gets another chance to show what he can do at the MLB level. The 23-year-old righty holds a 3.86 ERA, 2.14 WHIP and a 3/3 K/BB ratio over 2 1/3 innings in two appearances with the Yankees this season.

Once again Carrasco will join the Braves’ bullpen to add a fresh arm for Sunday’s series finale against the Mets. The 39-year-old righty has posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 6/1 K/BB ratio over 14 2/3 innings. It’s likely that once he appears in a game, he’ll be designated for assignment and ultimately re-sign on a minor league deal, allowing the cycle to continue.

The 23-year-old hurler was with the Braves for just one game this time around, picking up his first career save with three scoreless innings to finish out a lopsided victory over the Mets on Saturday. Carlos Carrasco was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett to take his place in the Braves’ bullpen on Sunday.

Bohm is batting .273 with 10 homers and 31 RBI in his last 49 games. He’s still not guaranteed to be especially valuable going forward, but with the Phillies committed to hitting him in the middle of the order, he has a legitimate shot at 100 RBI in his final year before free agency.
