Cruz got an injection in his right shoulder Monday and could be cleared to play catch early next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Cruz is working through shoulder tendinitis, which caused him to be placed on the Royals' 15-day injured list Sunday. Monday's injection was done to speed up the recovery process, and how his shoulder feels this week will determine when he takes the next step in his throwing program. Cruz posted a 3.61 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and seven holds over 42.1 innings this season prior to his injury.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Sewald (shoulder) was scheduled to play light catch on the field Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Sewald will be built back up slowly after he was diagnosed with a moderate teres major strain in mid-July. The Tigers acquired him via trade last and immediately shifted him to the 60-day injured list, which makes Sewald ineligible to return until Sept. 10.

The Rays claimed Scholtens off waivers from the White Sox on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.

Scholtens didn't pitch at all in 2024 and has been limited to 10 appearances (eight starts) in 2025 in the minors after recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 31-year-old has collected a 5.25 ERA and 30:12 K:BB over 36 innings this season and will likely slot into Durham's rotation.

The Orioles optioned Roth to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Roth was with the big club for nearly a week but didn't make an appearance. He's being removed from the active roster to clear a spot for left-hander Cade Povich (hip), who is back from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Gipson-Long (neck) tossed three scoreless innings in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Friday. He hit a batter and struck out five.

Other than hitting the one batter, Gipson-Long kept the opponent of the base paths and looked sharp in the outing, during which he tossed 42 pitches. The righty had last appeared for Toledo on July 18, but he was pulled off his rehab assignment after he reported continued neck stiffness plus general fatigue coming out of that start. Following a few weeks off, Gipson-Long appears to be rounding into form, and he could return for the Tigers later this month, though it remains to be seen what his role might be with the team.

Adams will start Monday's game in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

All four of Adams' appearances to this point at the major-league level have come in relief, but he has gone at least 3.1 innings in three of those outings, including during his last appearance July 27. While Adams may not be in line for a traditional start Monday, he's stretched out to provide anywhere from 3-to-4 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen.

Harvey (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Blue Jays. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Harvey pitched a clean ninth inning to send the game to extras, where a Royals offensive outburst secured him the win. The right-hander missed more than three months with a shoulder injury but has been excellent when available. Since being activated July 27, he has logged 3.1 scoreless innings, improving his season totals to a 0.00 ERA and 0.46 WHIP over 8.2 innings across 10 appearances. While the sample size remains small, it is worth noting that Harvey's fastball velocity has dipped to a career-low 95.9 mph, but he has yet to issue a walk.

Double-A Erie placed Montalvo (undisclosed) on its full-season injured list Monday.

The 23-year-old right-hander had been on the 7-day IL since June 6, and he apparently didn't make enough progress in his recovery in the two months since to convince the organization that he would be ready to pitch again in 2025. Montalvo posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB in 44 innings over his 11 appearances (10 starts) for Erie before being shut down.

Jansen (4-2) picked up the win Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one hit and one walk during a scoreless ninth inning. He didn't record a strikeout.

Jansen pitched in the top of the ninth frame with the score tied 5-5. He wound up with the victory after Taylor Ward swatted a walk-off three-run homer in the bottom half. Jansen has been excellent since the start of July, having allowed merely five hits and one walk over 12.1 scoreless innings. He's struck out 13 batters during that stretch and has nabbed a pair of wins and five saves. He has 20 saves this season.

Munoz picked up the save Sunday against the Rangers, allowing one walk and no hits with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

Munoz walked the first batter he faced Sunday, but he retired the next two batters while the baserunner he walked was caught stealing. Munoz has thrown eight consecutive scoreless innings, racking up four saves during that stretch. He's one of five relievers with at least 25 saves this season.
