Before being deactivated, Holderman had produced a 2.73 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 50:20 K:BB in 52.2 innings while collecting six wins, one save and 11 holds in 54 appearances out of the Cleveland bullpen.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4917897'}

Once he rejoins the Guardians, Hoskins will likely occupy the short side of a platoon at first base with Nathaniel Lowe.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/35291'}

Minnesota Twins

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'Cole Sands', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-31', 'note': 'Sands will undergo arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies and bone spurs from his right elbow, Jack Azoulay-Haron of ElEmergente.com reports.', 'detail': 'Sands has battled elbow problems throughout the 2026 season and landed back on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. He has opted for season-ending surgery to repair the issue but expects to have a "pretty much normal" offseason after getting a PRP injection post-op. Sands allowed 11 runs with an 11:5 K:BB over 12 innings for the Twins this season. The 29-year-old has two more years of arbitration eligibility remaining.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/3983841'}

Given that he won't even be cleared to throw until he's re-evaluated and will required an extended ramp-up period, Abel appears likely to remain out until the end of the regular season Sept. 27. Even if Abel avoids any further snags when he's eventually cleared to throw and makes it back from the injured list before the end of the season, he won't have enough time to get built back up as a starter and will be ticketed for a relief role.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4718970'}

His move to the 60-day IL will create a spot on the 40-man roster for Zak Kent, who was claimed off waivers from the Cardinals on Thursday.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/39671'}

It's good news that the surgery is arthroscopic, as that should give Buxton plenty of time to recover before spring training. Buxton will finish this season with a .254/.319/.511 batting line with 25 home runs and seven stolen bases over 93 games. With Buxton officially done for the season, Walker Jenkins will continue to man center field for Minnesota.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32655'}
