Twins place OF Matt Wallner on paternity list, recall OF Carson McCusker
August 9 - Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner was placed on the paternity list on Saturday after his wife gave birth to the couple's first child earlier in the day, the team announced. After doubling and blasting a home run in Minnesota's 9-4 home win over Kansas City on Friday, Wallner and his wife, Sydnie, welcomed a baby girl named Elliotte Bryn on Saturday morning. Wallner, 27, is batting .218 with a career-high 16 home runs while driving in 27 runs in 74 games for the Twins this season. In a corresponding move, Minnesota recalled outfielder Carson McCusker from Triple-A St. Paul to fill out the 26-man roster. The 27-year-old has played in 87 games for St. Paul this year, hitting .245 with 19 homers, 19 doubles and 61 RBIs. It marks McCusker's second stint with the Twins this season after making his MLB debut on May 18 at Milwaukee, going 1-for-6 in five games. --Field Level Media

Padres place Gavin Sheets on paternity list, call up Luis Campusano
July 13 - The San Diego Padres placed outfielder/designated hitter Gavin Sheets on the paternity list prior to Sunday's home game against the Philadelphia Phillies. San Diego recalled catcher Luis Campusano from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Campusano is batting seventh and serving as the designated hitter against the Phillies. Sheets can miss up to three games while on the paternity list. He'll likely just miss Sunday's game with the All-Star break beginning Monday. Sheets, 29, has been a surprise strong contributor after the Padres signed him as a free agent shortly before the start of spring training. He has 14 homers and 50 RBIs in 92 games with his career bests being 15 and 53, respectively, for the Chicago White Sox in 2022. Sheets' .265 average also is on track to be a career high. Sheets is now a fixture in left field after the Padres had trouble getting production from the spot earlier this season. Overall, Sheets is batting .237 with 60 homers and 225 RBIs in 527 career games with the White Sox (2021-24) and Padres. Campusano, 26, was hitless in 18 at-bats with nine strikeouts in nine games with the Padres earlier this season. All seven of his starts during that stint were at designated hitter. Campusano was rated the No. 4 prospect in the San Diego organization in 2020. But he experienced troubles on the defensive side and there were reports claiming many Padres' pitchers were less than enamored with the way he called a game and with his overall catching abilities. Campusano's bat showed life in 2023 when he batted .319 in 49 games but he threw out just one of 30 base stealers. He got a more extended shot last season. But he batted just .227 with eight homers and 40 RBIs in 91 games and threw out just eight of 49 base stealers. San Diego has received very little offensive production from the catching position this season. Elias Diaz is batting .198 with four homers and 12 RBIs in 75 games and Martin Maldonado is hitting .178 with four homers and 10 RBIs in 56 games. --Field Level Media
