Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski struggles in return from IL
Misiorowski, who had been out since late July with a left tibia contusion, was charged with five runs on four hits and three walks. He struck out three.
After Misiorowski left with the bases loaded in the second inning and the Reds went on to complete a seven-run inning, Milwaukee trailed 8-1. However, the Brewers came back for a 10-8 victory, their 13th consecutive win, tying the franchise record.
Misiorowski, 23, broke Paul Skenes' record for the fastest to be named to an All-Star Game when he was chosen as a National League squad injury replacement after just five starts in the major leagues.
Through seven starts before landing on the IL, the flamethrower amassed a 4-1 record and a 2.70 ERA with 47 strikeouts and 14 walks across 33 1/3 innings.
The Brewers, who own the best record in the big leagues at 77-44, cleared a roster spot for Misiorowski by optioning right-handed reliever Grant Anderson to Triple-A Nashville. Anderson went 2-3 with a 3.07 ERA in 53 games this year.
Milwaukee called up outfielder Steward Berroa and infielder Tyler Black from Nashville. The two replace outfielder Isaac Collins, who went on the paternity list, and outfielder Blake Perkins, who went on the bereavement list.

Blue Jays activate OF George Springer (concussion)
August 16 - The Toronto Blue Jays activated outfielder George Springer from the seven-day concussion list on Saturday. Springer has missed 16 games since getting hit in the head with a pitch in a July 28 loss at Baltimore. He played in two rehab games at Triple-A Buffalo, going 2-for-5 with a double and a homer. Springer, 35, is batting .291 with 18 homers and 57 RBIs in 101 games this season -- the four-time All-Star's finest showing as a hitter since 2022. He is a lifetime .264 hitter with 279 home runs and 769 RBIs in 1,406 games with the Houston Astros (2014-20) and Blue Jays. Toronto optioned outfielder Joey Loperfido, 26, to Buffalo in a corresponding move. He is batting .358 with a .915 OPS, three homers and 10 RBIs in 30 games with the Blue Jays this season. --Field Level Media

Orioles call up No. 3 prospect Dylan Beavers for MLB debut
August 16 - The Baltimore Orioles selected the contract of outfielder Dylan Beavers, their No. 3 prospect as ranked by MLB Pipeline, on Saturday. He is expected to make his major league debut Saturday night when the Orioles meet the Astros in Houston. Baltimore selected the 6-foot-5 Beavers with the No. 33 overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft. The left-handed batter has appeared in 94 games this season at Triple-A Norfolk and has a slash line of .304/.420/.515/.935. He has 104 hits, 78 runs, 18 homers, 51 RBIs and 23 steals. Overall, he has appeared in 361 games over four minor league seasons, with a career average of .278, 44 homers, 180 RBIs and 87 stolen bases. Beavers, who turned 24 on Monday, played three collegiate seasons at Cal. He can play all three outfield positions. In a corresponding move, the Orioles designated outfielder Greg Allen for assignment. The Orioles signed Allen, 32, last week after the Chicago Cubs released him. He was hitless in 14 at-bats. --Field Level Media

Browns rookie QB Dillon Gabriel to start vs. Eagles
August 16 - Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel will start for the Cleveland Browns in Saturday's preseason game at Philadelphia, the team announced. Drafted in the third round in April, Gabriel missed the preseason opener with hamstring tightness and returned to practice on Monday. Fellow rookie signal-caller Shedeur Sanders, who threw two touchdown passes in the Aug. 8 preseason opener at Carolina, will not play against the Eagles due to an oblique injury. "When it's a quarterback, you kind of need that muscle to throw," head coach Kevin Stefanski said of Sanders. "So unfortunately, (it's) going to put him down for a little bit here. We'll treat it day to day and see how he responds. But want to be smart because he's a thrower, so you can't push that thing." Stefanski said veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, 40, is healthy but will not play for the second consecutive week. With Kenny Pickett working his way back from a hamstring injury and Deshaun Watson likely out for the year with an Achilles injury, that leaves only Gabriel and Tyler Huntley available to take snaps in Philadelphia. Gabriel was selected 94th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft after putting up big numbers at three college stops: UCF, Oklahoma and Oregon. Still on the board 50 picks later, the Browns chose Sanders to end a well-publicized draft weekend crash from projections of a top-50 draft rating. Gabriel, 24, said earlier this week that he won't overthink it if he starts against the reigning Super Bowl champions. "I try to just stay in the moment. I'll look forward to that moment once it comes and be right where my feet are," Gabriel said. "The best competitors know how to stay present and be themselves by competing at a high level one play at a time." Gabriel completed 65.2 percent of his passes for 18,722 yards with 155 touchdowns and 32 interceptions across 64 games in college from 2019-24. He rushed for 1,209 yards and 33 scores. --Field Level Media
