Clayton Beeter RP | WAS
Yankees' Clayton Beeter: Up with big club
The Yankees recalled Beeter from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
Beeter has offered a mixed bag at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after returning from a shoulder injury, posting a 1.02 ERA with 29 strikeouts over 17.2 innings but also issuing 14 walks. He has a chance to work his way into high-leverage spots for the Yankees, but Beeter is likely to be used earlier in games initially.

Blue Jays' Mason Fluharty: Dispatched to Triple-A
The Blue Jays optioned Fluharty to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
He'll lose his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the Toronto bullpen with right-hander Yimi Garcia (shoulder) returning from the 15-day injured list. After getting his first big-league call-up March 30, Fluharty notched three wins and four holds while registering a 5.56 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB over 34 innings.

Twins' Kody Funderburk: Back in big-league bullpen
The Twins recalled Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Funderburk has made nine relief appearances for the Twins this season, allowing 10 earned runs with a 9:5 K:BB over 12 innings. He will provide manager Rocco Baldelli with a third lefty in the bullpen.

Yimi Garcia RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Returns from IL
The Blue Jays reinstated Garcia (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Toronto sent lefty Mason Fluharty to Triple-A Buffalo to clear room in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster for Garcia's return from the IL. Before landing on the IL on May 24 due to a right shoulder impingement, Garcia compiled three saves and six holds and pitched to a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 20 innings.

Joe Jacques RP | SEA
Mariners' Joe Jacques: Expected to be added to roster
The Mariners are expected to call up Jacques from Triple-A Tacoma, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jacques was acquired via trade from the Dodgers in early June and will be promoted despite a 6.19 ERA this season at the Triple-A level. The lefty reliever holds a 5.46 ERA and 22:11 K:BB over 29.2 frames covering parts of two big-league seasons.

Cooper Criswell RP | NYM
Red Sox's Cooper Criswell: Expected to be 27th man Wednesday
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Criswell will likely be recalled from Triple-A Worcester to start Wednesday's game versus the Reds following the completion of a suspended game, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Brayan Bello had been scheduled to start the regularly scheduled contest, but he will be handed the ball in the earlier suspended game instead. That leaves Criswell -- who will added as the 27th man -- to start the nightcap, although it's possible an opener is used ahead of him. Criswell would be pitching on three days' rest after going five innings and throwing 87 pitches Saturday for Worcester, so he'd likely have a truncated workload against Cincinnati.

Tyler Owens RP | DET
Tigers' Tyler Owens: Summoned from Triple-A
The Tigers recalled Owens from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
He'll take over the 26-man active roster spot of right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Owens made two relief appearances for Detroit earlier this season but has spent most of the 2025 campaign pitching out of the bullpen at Toledo, where he's posted a 5.46 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 28 innings.

Sawyer Gipson-Long SP | DET
Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Goes on IL with neck strain
The Tigers placed Gipson-Long on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a neck strain.
Gipson-Long last pitched Friday, and it's not clear whether he got hurt during that outing or at some point since then. The right-hander will be eligible for activation at the start of the second half, but the Tigers have not revealed a timetable for his return. With Reese Olson (finger) expected back from the injured list later this week, Gipson-Long might not have a rotation spot waiting for him once he's healthy.

Bailey Horn P | DET
Tigers' Bailey Horn: Up with big club for doubleheader
The Tigers recalled Horn from Triple-A Toledo to serve as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.
Horn is expected to be returned to Toledo immediately following the second game of the doubleheader. The lefty reliever previously made his lone relief appearance of the season for Detroit back on April 22 against the Padres, striking out two and allowing one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings.
