Yankees' Mark Leiter: Placed on 15-day injured list
The Yankees placed Leiter on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left fibular head stress fracture.
Per Max Goodman of NJ.com, Leiter felt a pop in his left leg when he was running to cover first base in a game versus the Reds back on June 24. He had made four appearances since then, but testing revealed the stress fracture. It's not clear how long Leiter might be out, but it's likely to be longer than a minimum stay on the IL.

Orioles' Albert Suarez: Throwing off mound soon
Suarez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session later this week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
It will be his first time throwing from the bump since going down with a right shoulder strain in late March. Suarez is hoping to contribute to the Orioles at some point after the All-Star break, but he still has numerous boxes to check.

Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Moved to 60-day IL
The Red Sox transferred Hendriks (hip) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Hendriks recently suffered a setback with his right hip injury and is seeking a second opinion. He's been out since late May and now won't be eligible for activation until late July. The move frees a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Isaiah Campbell.

Rays' Ian Seymour: Back in majors
The Rays recalled Seymour from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
Seymour received his first taste of the majors in June and was sent back to Durham after covering two scoreless frames in his big-league debut. The left-hander has a 2.62 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 104:20 K:BB across 86 innings as a starter at Triple-A this season, though he's likely to work out of the bullpen while up with Tampa Bay.

Blue Jays' Paxton Schultz: Playing catch
Schultz (finger) has begun playing catch from 60 feet, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The righty reliever was shut down in late June due to finger inflammation. Schultz likely won't need a rehab assignment before coming off the IL, giving him a chance to be activated right after the All-Star break, but it's not clear if there will be a spot for him in the big-league bullpen once he's healthy.

Samuel Aldegheri SP | LAA
Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Set to be recalled
The Angels will recall Aldegheri from Double-A Rocket City prior to Tuesday's contest against the Rangers, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Aldegheri will give the Halos a fresh relief arm after the bullpen was needed for four innings in Monday's win over Texas. The 23-year-old lefty previously made one relief appearance earlier this season for the Angels, allowed two unearned runs over 2.1 frames back on June 4 in Boston. Aldegheri has collected a 4.83 ERA and 63:40 K:BB in 72.2 innings as a starter at Rocket City this season.

Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE
Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Nails down 19th save
Clase earned the save against the Astros on Monday by throwing a perfect ninth inning.
Clase rebounded from Sunday's blown save against the Tigers by retiring the Astros in order Monday, closing out a 7-5 win by inducing three groundouts. His 2025 numbers -- a 3.20 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 39.1 innings -- aren't anywhere near as eye-popping as last season's 0.61 ERA and 0.66 WHIP in 74.1 innings, but the flamethrower's underlying metrics remain strong. A 2.49 FIP this year compared to 2.22 in 2024 suggests he's still pitching at a high level. The jump in walk rate to 2.3 BB/9, his highest since 2019, has certainly contributed to the statistical dip, but Clase remains a top-tier reliever.

Orioles' Trace Bright: Activated from IL
