Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (groin) is day-to-day after leaving an 8-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday with groin tightness, manager Rob Thomson told reporters. Sosa, who started at shortstop, went 0-for-3 before the team replaced him with pinch-hitter Weston Wilson in the bottom of the seventh inning. With starting shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list since Sept. 8, Sosa has gotten most of the playing time at the position. If Sosa is unable to go on Saturday, Bryson Stott could slide over from second base to take his place, as he did Friday. Either Wilson or Donovan Walton would fill in for Stott at second.

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee performed like an ace and improved to 10-11 in a 4-0 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Bibee fired Cleveland's first complete-game shutout in six years, allowing just two hits (both singles) while racking up 10 strikeouts against no walks. He threw 103 pitches, 74 for strikes, and generated 14 whiffs in his best outing of 2025. The 26-year-old went through a brutal July-August stretch in which he pitched to a 6.15 ERA in 11 starts, but he has fared much better in September. Bibee has taken the ball twice this month and combined for 15 2/3 innings of two-run, seven-hit ball with 13:1 K:BB. Overall, he owns a disappointing 4.44 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP, 149 strikeouts, and 50 walks in 170 1/3 frames this season. He's scheduled to take on the division-rival Minnesota Twins next Friday. Bibee has faced the Twins twice this year and given up five runs on 13 hits and two walks (10 strikeouts) across 11 2/3 innings.

The Houston Astros have transferred right-hander Luis Garcia (elbow) to the 60-day injured list, ending his season. Garcia underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2023 and took longer than expected to recover. After more than two full years on the shelf, Garcia made a long-awaited return to the majors on Sept. 1. However, he had to leave his second start on Sept. 9 with elbow discomfort, leading the Astros to place him on the 15-day IL on Wednesday. There's no word on the severity of the 28-year-old's injury or whether it will affect his availability for the 2026 campaign. Garcia impressed over 7 2/3 innings this year, especially after such a long layoff, as he allowed three runs on three hits and totaled seven strikeouts against one walk.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (wrist) was out of the lineup Friday against the Seattle Mariners with soreness in his left wrist, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Neto's wrist hasn't been at full strength since a hit by pitch forced him from a game on Aug. 20, though the injury hasn't required a stint on the 10-day IL to this point. "It really is minute to minute, day to day," interim manager Ray Montgomery said. "He only knows how it's feeling in the moment. So we're going to give him a minute to let it calm down a little bit." Based on Montgomery's words, it's hard to predict whether Neto will return to the lineup Saturday. The 24-year-old has popped two of his career-high 26 home runs this month, but his wrist issues may be having a negative effect, as he has hit just .162/.295/.324 through 11 games in September. The light-hitting Oswald Peraza started at short in place of Neto on Friday.
