Angels recalled LHP Jake Eder from Triple-A Salt Lake.
Eder will join Los Angeles’ bullpen mix ahead of Saturday’s contest against the Twins. The 26-year-old southpaw was acquired last month from the White Sox. He was a notable pitching prospect a couple years ago, but has struggled in the upper minors the last few seasons since coming back from Tommy John surgery back in 2021.
Alejandro Kirk went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead three-run homer on Wednesday, powering the Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory over the Rays.
Yimi García fired a perfect ninth inning on Wednesday against the Rays to record his third save of the season.
Chris Bassitt notched six strikeouts and allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Rays.
Ryan Pepiot struck out seven and gave up three runs over six innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Blue Jays.
Riley Greene went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer on Wednesday, leading the Tigers to a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox.
Greene put Detroit on the scoreboard with a nifty swim move to avoid a tag at home plate in the second inning before crushing his 10th big fly of the season against Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old fantasy stalwart has arrived as a true middle-of-the-order force this season for the Tigers, hitting .273/.326/.497 with 25 runs scored, 10 homers, 27 RBI and one steal over 42 games.
Alex Bregman went 3-for-4 with his 11th home run of the season on Wednesday in a loss to the Tigers.
