According to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, Justin Slaten (elbow) is expected to land on the 15-day injured list on Sunday due to right elbow soreness.

With Garrett Whitlock also being shelved, the Red Sox’ bullpen has taken a major hit in the past couple of days. It’ll be interesting to see how the Red Sox reconfigure their bullpen to bridge the gap to Aroldis Chapman in the ninth inning.

Braves designated LHP Danny Young for assignment.

With Ray Kerr joining the big league roster on Sunday, someone needed to get the boot from the Braves’ bullpen and unfortunately for Young, he drew the short straw this time. The 32-year-old has struggled to an 8.03 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and a 15/13 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings in 16 appearances with the Braves this season.

Braves selected the contract of LHP Ray Kerr from Triple-A Gwinnett.

The 31-year-old southpaw has finally made it all the way back after undergoing surgery in June o 2024 to repair a torn UCL in his pitching elbow. He made nine appearances across four minor league levels, posting a 3.09 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and a 16/5 K/BB ratio across 11 2/3 innings. He should provide a nice boost to the Braves’ bullpen.

Yusei Kikuchi

LAA Starting Pitcher #16

Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) was obliterated in a minor league rehab start at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, giving up eight runs on seven hits over 4 2/3 innings.

The 35-year-old southpaw struck out eight batters in the contest while issuing a pair of walks. Seven of those eight runs came during the first inning, after which he settled in nicely. He threw 80 pitches (56 strikes) in the ballgame, so physically he’s probably ready to rejoin the Angels’ rotation over the weekend unless they want to see him have success in a minor league setting first.

Drey Jameson (hip) began a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

The 28-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since mid-July due to right hip inflammation. He should only need a couple of outings there before he’s cleared to rejoin the Diamondbacks’ bullpen.

Wyatt Langford finished 3-for-4 with a two-run homer Saturday in the Rangers’ 5-3 defeat of the A’s.

Langford’s 14th homer off J.T. Ginn gave the Rangers a 4-3 lead in the sixth and gave Langford his first runs batted in since Aug. 1. He’d gone 3-for-37 in his previous 12 games, which led to him receiving a day off on Wednesday.

MacKenzie Gore picked up a win over the A’s after allowing three runs in 5 2/3 innings on Saturday.

Gore pitched better against the Giants and Angels in his previous two starts, but this one earned him his first win of August. He’s now 7-9 with a 4.45 ERA overall, and he should be a nice play with a home start versus the Halos next week.

Jacob Latz

TEX Relief Pitcher #67

Jacob Latz pitched a pair of hitless innings for his 24th save Saturday versus the A’s.

Latz hadn’t pitched since Monday, so the Rangers asked him for six outs tonight, and he recorded them without incident. He did allow a hit in the eighth, but a caught stealing allowed him to face the minimum over the two innings. Since he did throw 36 pitches, he’ll probably be unavailable Sunday.

J.T. Ginn surrendered four runs in six innings Saturday in a loss to the Rangers.

Ginn struck out seven and walked none, but he gave up eight hits, including a two-run homer to Wyatt Langford. As a result, he took his first loss of the second half and dropped to 8-7 with a 3.53 ERA. He has a favorable matchup in Kansas City coming up next week.

Henry Bolte went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and a double Saturday against the Rangers.

Bolte’s homer off MacKenzie Gore gave the A’s all of their runs this evening. He’s back up to .261/.334/.368, which certainly isn’t great but is still impressive for someone who strikes out or hits grounders two-thirds of the time.
