The Astros sent Caratini (hip) to their Florida Complex League affiliate on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment. Caratini has been shelved since late June with a left hip flexor strain but has been cleared for rehab games. The veteran catcher shouldn't need too many rehab at-bats before being activated, with a return early on in the second half likely.

Country singer and recording artist Ingrid Andress on Tuesday posted an apology and explanation for her heavily criticized performance of the national anthem prior to Monday's MLB Home Run Derby.

The Astros have selected Forcucci with the 101st overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. The 6-foot-3 right-hander was deployed as both a starter and reliever at UC-San Diego, and durability questions could have him ticketed for a relief role with the Astros. Forcucci does have a projectable frame though and could add some velocity to a fastball that already touches 97 mph with good movement, and he has the makings of a starter's arsenal with a slider, slow curve and changeup.

Hendricks recorded 20 points (9-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, a steal and a block across 29 minutes of Wednesday's 86-76 win over the Raptors in Summer League. Hendricks paced the Jazz in points and rebounds Wednesday, falling just one rebound shy of a double-double. The second-year forward had combined to score 11 points in his first two Summer League games in Las Vegas, so Wednesday's outburst was a much-needed bounce back game. Hendricks started in 23 of his 40 appearances as a rookie and is slated to open the season as Utah's starting power forward.

The Twins activated Weiss (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and outrighted him to Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Weiss has been out all season with a teres major strain in his right shoulder. He's healthy now, after having allowed six runs with an 8:3 K:BB over eight innings during his rehab assignment, which included stops at three affiliates. The Twins didn't have room on Weiss from the 40-man roster, but he'll remain in the organization as bullpen depth at St. Paul.

The Nationals have selected Kent with the 108th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. The 6-foot-3 left-hander made the move from relief work to starting duty this spring for Arizona and didn't see the quality of his arsenal take much of a hit with the transition. He sported a fastball this spring that typically sat around the low 90s, and he complemented it with a quality changeup and a low-80s slider and mid-70s curveball. Even so, Kent's lack of plus stuff keeps his long-term ceiling relatively low as he makes the jump to the pro ranks.

The Astros pulled Garcia (elbow) off his minor-league rehab assignment this week, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Making his way back from May 2023 Tommy John surgery, Garcia made his first rehab start June 28 in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and his second July 4 with Double-A Corpus Christi. He didn't bounce back well from his start with Corpus Christi and hadn't throw a bullpen session since the outing, with the Astros having limited him to playing catch. While Garcia doesn't seem to be dealing with a major setback, he'll have to restart a 30-day rehab window once the team feels he's ready for game action. Clearly, a return from the 60-day injured list won't be in the forecast anytime soon for Garcia.
