    Athletics' Mason Miller: Strikes out three for 17th save
    2m ago

    Miller earned the save in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Blue Jays, walking one and striking out three in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Miller was summoned to protect a 1-0 lead in the ninth inning and did so without allowing the Blue Jays to put a ball in play, touching 103 mph on his fastball and generating five swinging strikes on 18 pitches. The 25-year-old has converted both his save attempts since returning from the injured list (finger) and owns a 2.11 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 73:15 K:BB across 42.2 innings this season.

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Avoids serious injury
    4m ago

    Marte (ankle) will likely miss Sunday's game against the Phillies but expects to play Monday against Colorado, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    After being slid into by Garrett Stubbs on Saturday and folding awkwardly, Marte expects to miss only one game with what's being labeled a bruised left ankle. The Diamondbacks determined that X-rays were unnecessary, a very positive sign for the second baseman. While he'll get a day off Sunday, Marte should be back in action Monday -- a favorable outcome considering he appeared to be in significant pain following the collision.

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Removed due to cramps
    12m ago

    Gallen was removed from Saturday's start against the Phillies due to general body cramps, and he doesn't expect to miss time, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Gallen didn't sustain an injury during Saturday's start and was merely cramping. The 28-year-old managed to throw 4.1 innings prior to departing. His lone run allowed came on a Bryce Harper RBI groundout immediately before leaving. It would be very surprising to see Gallen miss his next start, but his status should be monitored over the next few days as a precaution. He's tentatively scheduled to pitch during a three-game road series against the Rays next weekend.

    Rodriguez was locked in a pitcher's duel with Osvaldo Bido before surrendering a solo homer to Brent Rooker in the sixth inning, but that was all the Athletics would need for the win. He reached a season-high 85 pitches and has yielded two earned runs or fewer in nine of 12 starts this season.

    Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

    Hoerner isn't known as much of a power threat, as this was just his fifth home run of the season and first since June 30. Instead, the infielder is known for his speed, with 20 stolen bases for the season after swiping a career-high 43 bases last year. Hoerner has been making more solid contact lately, and if he can continue to get on base regularly, he should be able to make an impact on the basepaths for fantasy managers.

    Making his third straight start at second base while hitting leadoff, Massey produced his first three-hit effort since May 20. While the Royals still limit his exposure to left-handed pitchers, Massey's current form is making a strong case for him to be an everyday player. Over his last eight games, he's batting .370 (10-for-27) with two doubles, a triple, two home runs, five RBI and eight runs scored.

    Moncada was returned from his rehab assignment July 22 due to "anticipated soreness" and it wasn't viewed as a setback in his recovery from a left adductor strain. However, the third baseman hasn't shown any significant signs of improvement and is still dealing with lingering soreness.

    6h ago

    Topa (knee) was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Topa has shown decreased velocity recently and it's been revealed that he's been battling arm fatigue. The right-hander has been on assignment since July 23 as part of his recovery from a tear in the patellar tendon of his left knee. He's yet to make his 2024 debut. While it's unclear how far the arm fatigue will set him back, Topa shouldn't be expected back any time soon.

The 34-year-old owns a 2.65 ERA and 0.85 WHIP through 34 Triple-A innings, which could potentially draw interest on the waiver wire from other bullpen-needy teams.

    Orioles' Eloy Jimenez: Stays hot with three hits
