Twins sign Reynaldo Rodriguez

Twins signed INF Reynaldo Rodriguez to a minor league contract.

The deal does not include an invitation to spring training, meaning Rodriguez won't be in the hunt for an Opening Day roster spot. He batted .249/.326/.476 with 16 home runs in 102 games this year between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket -- affiliates of the Red Sox.

Byron Buxton (migraines) could be activated from the disabled list as soon as Wednesday.

Buxton will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Fort Myers on Sunday, serving as their designated hitter. He's slated to play center field for them on Monday and Tuesday before then rejoining the Twins assuming all goes well. Buxton has missed the last week of action because of migraines.

Yoan Moncada (hamstring) in Sunday's lineup

Yoan Moncada (hamstring) is in the White Sox' lineup Sunday.

Moncada was lifted from Saturday's game as a precaution with some left hamstring tightness, but obviously the ailment isn't seen as a big deal. The young second baseman is sporting a .209/.321/.403 batting line through his first 17 games this season.

Todd Frazier sitting out Sunday with sore toe

Todd Frazier is not in the Mets' lineup Sunday because of a sore toe as a result of being spiked Saturday.

Manager Mickey Callaway noted that he was looking to give Frazier his first day off of the season, anyway, so this ailment doesn't appear to be a big deal. Frazier should be back in there Tuesday after Monday's off day. Wilmer Flores is at third base Sunday.

Gleyber Torres at 2B, batting eighth in debut

Yankees recalled INF Gleyber Torres from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Torres is starting at second base and batting eighth against Jaime Garcia and the Blue Jays in his major league debut Sunday. The top prospect was batting .347/.393/.510 with one home run, 11 RBI and one stolen base for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at the time of his promotion. The Yankees plan for him to be their everyday second baseman, but Torres could also see a little time at third while Brandon Drury (migraines) is out. Torres is just 21 so it remains to be seen whether he's ready to produce at the big league level, but he needs to be owned in all fantasy leagues.

Hyun-Jin Ryu wins his third consecutive start

Hyun-Jin Ryu allowed just two hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings while striking out eight batters Saturday against the Nationals.

Ryu has posted three consecutive quality starts, posting a 3-0 record with a 0.95 ERA, six hits, four walks and 25 strikeouts over 19 innings during the impressive span. The southpaw will look to continue his winning ways in his next scheduled start in a favorable matchup against Derek Holland and the Giants at AT&T Park on Friday.

Brandon Belt homers in third straight outing

Brandon Belt went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 road setback against the Angels.

Belt has homered in three consecutive contests, posting five RBI during the run. He has tied a season best by hitting in four straight games, too. Belt is slashing .259/.369/.519 overall this season while driving in six runs across the past five outings. He is a solid play in standard fantasy leagues and a must-have in DFS while running hot.

Reddick rocks grand slam on two-homer night

Josh Reddick went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a grand slam to total five RBI in Saturday's 10-1 win over the White Sox.

The Astros put up four runs on Lucas Giolito in the first inning via a single, a sacrifice fly and a two-run double. Reddick got four in all on his own just one frame later, slamming Giolito with the bases juiced to push his team out to an early 8-0 advantage. He would have one more loud moment before the end of the game, crunching a solo home run in the fourth inning. With this stellar showing in the books, Reddick is now working to a strong .267/.380/.583 triple-slash with six home runs and 15 RBI across 18 games played. He's gone yard in two of his last three games.

Sean Manaea tosses no-hitter vs. Boston

Sean Manaea allowed just two walks with 10 strikeouts for his first-career no-hitter in Saturday's 3-0 victory against the Red Sox.

Well, that's one way to cool off the red hot Red Sox. It was the seventh no-no in Oakland history and the first since Dallas Braden's perfect game back in 2010. Andrew Benintendi drew a walk with two outs in the ninth to make things a bit hairy, but Manaea got Hanley Ramirez to ground out to make history. His 10 strikeouts matched a career high as he threw 75 of his 108 pitches for strikes. He'll try to join Johnny Vander Meer with back-to-back no-hitters when he makes his next scheduled start Friday in Houston opposite Dallas Keuchel.

Jesus Aguilar smashes walk-off homer vs. MIA

Jesus Aguilar hit a pinch-hit walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.

The Brewers tied up the game at 5-5 in the eighth inning. Aguilar would make sure it didn't last for too much longer. Pinch-hitting to lead off the bottom of the ninth, the first baseman fought it out with Junichi Tazawa in a stellar 13-pitch at-bat until Tazawa finally gave him something he could handle. Handle it he did, launching an absolute bomb to center field to send the fans home happy. Five of his 13 hits on the season have gone for extra bases, but Saturday's tater was his first home run of the campaign.

Davis closes door on Cubs to earn ninth save

Wade Davis threw a perfect ninth inning Saturday to close out a 5-2 win over the Cubs.

Davis needed seven pitches to finish off his former team, earning his ninth save of the year. He's been largely brilliant this season, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 10/3 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings.

Jeurys Familia unable to hold late 3-2 lead

Jeurys Familia blew the save in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Braves, surrendering two runs on three hits over 2/3 of an inning.

Familia came into the game with a runner on third and two outs in the eighth inning. The Mets were clinging to a 3-2 advantage at the time. While he would escape that jam via a strikeout of Preston Tucker, no such luck in the ninth inning. Dansby Swanson led off with a four-pitch walk against the closer, which Johan Camargo followed up with a game-tying RBI triple. Two batters later, Ender Inciarte scored Camargo on a drag bunt single to win the game. The two runs scored against him on Saturday were the first two Familia has allowed all year. He figures to be able to bounce back from this one quickly enough, once the sting abates.
