    Allard re-signed with the Guardians on a minor-league contract Wednesday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Allard was DFA'd by Cleveland last Thursday and elected free agency after clearing waivers. He's decided to return to the Guardians on a minor-league deal after logging a 2.55 ERA and 16:8 K:BB across 35.1 innings of work with the big-league club this season.

  • White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Picks up second save

    Leasure earned the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Toronto, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

    He made quick work of the Blue Jays after Grant Taylor successfully faced down Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero in the eighth inning, with Leasure striking out the first two batters he faced before working around an Alejandro Kirk single. It's the second save of the year for Leasure and his first since May 20. The 26-year-old right-hander sports a 4.18 ERA with a 1.55 WHIP and 39 strikeouts through 32.1 innings this season.

    Blue Jays' Ryan Burr: Headed for MRI on shoulder

    Burr exited Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the White Sox with a shoulder injury and will travel back to Toronto to undergo an MRI, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Burr missed most of the first half of the season with a shoulder injury and recently returned from the 60-day injured list to make his 2025 debut in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Angels. The righty threw 15 pitches Wednesday, recording two outs without allowing a baserunner before exiting due to the shoulder issue.

    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Wednesday that Akin will be shut down 5-to-7 days after receiving an injection in his injured left shoulder, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The hope is that the injection will speed along the healing process and allow Akin to begin a rehab assignment after the All-Star break. Akin has put up a 3.38 ERA and 38:18 K:BB over 38 innings out of the bullpen in 2025.

    Blue Jays' Ryan Burr: Exits appearance with injury

    Burr had to be removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox in the seventh inning with an undisclosed injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Burr just returned from the 60-day injured list Sunday after being out all season with a right shoulder injury, so he could have experienced a setback. The Blue Jays should have more on his condition after the contest.

    Red Sox's Nick Burdi: Transferred to 60-day IL

    The Red Sox transferred Burdi (hip) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

    The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for designated hitter/outfielder Masataka Yoshida (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day IL. Burdi originally went on the IL with a foot issue in early June, but he had a setback just over a week ago, when he suffered a hip injury. He won't be eligible to return until early August.

Misiewicz held a 4.02 ERA and 29:10 K:BB over 31.1 innings this season with St. Paul. The 30-year-old has a career 4.67 ERA and 114:38 K:BB over 115.2 frames covering parts of five seasons at the big-league level.

    Twins' Joey Wentz: DFA'd by Twins
