After being acquired back in June as the centerpiece of the Rafael Devers trade, former top prospect Kyle Harrison has spent the entirety of his Red Sox career so far in Triple-A. That's set to change later today, as MassLive's Chris Cotillo writes that Harrison is set to be recalled to the big league roster today. Lefty Chris Murphy will be optioned to the minor leagues in the corresponding move, according to Cotillo.

Since then, Ohtani has broken away from the pack in the NL as he's more fully resumed two-way duties. While other players like Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, and Pete Crow-Armstrong have put together excellent seasons of their own in the NL, it's hard to see that race as anything other than Ohtani's to lose headed into the final month of the season.

Yesterday, star catcher and AL MVP candidate Cal Raleigh enjoyed a multi-homer game where he crushed his 48th and 49th homers of the season. That pair of dingers saw him tie and then claim sole possession of the record for most home runs hit by a catcher in a single season, eclipsing the efforts of Salvador Perez back in 2021. With that record now claimed, the wait begins for Raleigh to establish himself as the first 50-homer catcher in MLB history.

Cal Raleigh hit his 34th and 35th home runs, setting a career high and matching Ken Griffey Jr.'s Seattle record for homers before the All-Star break.

Cal Raleigh's impressive power numbers last season could surprisingly propel him into the top-25 hitters this season, showcasing the volatility and unpredictability of MLB fantasy rankings.
