Here are three things we\u2019ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today:<\/p>\n
1. Farris to make MLB debut:<\/p>\n
The Angels selected the contract of left-hander Mitch Farris<\/a> yesterday when rosters expanded to 28 players. Farris will make his MLB debut when he takes the ball today against the Royals and veteran right-hander Michael Lorenzen<\/a> (4.62 ERA). Farris has spent the entire 2025 campaign at Double-A after being acquired from Atlanta in the Davis Daniel<\/a> trade during the offseason. He has a 4.27 ERA in 116 innings of work at that level to go with an impressive 28.0% strikeout rate. Anaheim has long been aggressive when promoting its prospects, and the 24-year-old Farris will now get the opportunity to impact the big league level before ever setting foot at Triple-A.<\/p>\n 2. Orioles 40-man move incoming:<\/p>\n The Orioles are set to welcome Tyler Wells<\/a> back from the injured list today as they move towards a six-man rotation<\/a>. With Wells set to start today\u2019s game against Yu Darvish<\/a> (5.66 ERA in ten starts) in San Diego, Baltimore will need to make a 40-man roster move to accommodate the 31-year-old right-hander\u2019s return from the injured list. That could mean moving an injured player like right-hander Colin Selby to the 60-day injured list. If they\u2019re confident all of their players on the 10- or 15-day IL can make it back before season\u2019s end, the O\u2019s could designate someone from the back end of their 40-man roster for assignment.<\/p>\n 3. Series Preview: Yankees @ Astros<\/p>\n A potential postseason preview is set to begin today when the Yankees kick off a three-game set against the Astros in Houston. The series starts with an exciting pitching matchup: southpaw Framber Valdez<\/a> (3.18 ERA) takes the mound for the Astros as the Yankees counter with fellow lefty Max Fried<\/a> (3.06 ERA). Fried has struggled for much of the second half but will look to keep the good times rolling after back-to-back quality starts against the Red Sox and Nationals. Tomorrow\u2019s game will feature rookie Will Warren<\/a> (4.30 ERA) against swingman Jason Alexander<\/a> (4.61 ERA in 54 1\/3 innings), while the series finale will pit Carlos Rodon<\/a> (3.18 ERA) against Cristian Javier<\/a> (3.38 ERA in four starts) in the latter\u2019s fifth start back from Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here are three things we\u2019ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-114692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
