  • Shawn Dubin RP | ARI

    Astros' Shawn Dubin: Out with forearm strain

    The Astros placed Dubin on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right forearm strain, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Dubin last pitched Friday against the Angels and evidently got hurt during that outing. He'll be eligible to return July 6, but given the nature of the injury, it could take him longer than that.

  • Jovani Moran RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Activated from Triple-A IL

    Moran (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Moran missed all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery but has returned to make six rehab appearances in the lower minors, allowing four runs with a 17:5 K:BB over 7.2 innings. The lefty reliever has a career 29 percent strikeout rate in the majors and should get an opportunity with the Red Sox eventually, but he will need to knock off some rust at Worcester first.

  • Marc Church P | TEX

    Rangers' Marc Church: On Triple-A IL with elbow injury

    Church is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Round Rock with right elbow inflammation, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Church has spent most of this season at Round Rock and had struggled this month before getting hurt, yielding six runs with a 4:9 K:BB over 4.2 innings. The Rangers are still evaluating the reliever's injury before mapping out a rehab plan.

  • Ian Hamilton RP | ATL

    Yankees' Ian Hamilton: Tosses two scoreless relief frames

    Hamilton allowed two hits and issued one walk while striking out two batters over two scoreless innings Monday against the Reds.

    Hamilton entered in the fifth frame with runners on the corners and one out. He walked a batter and then allowed an inherited runner to score on a single but avoided further damage by inducing a double play. Hamilton yielded just one more hit before exiting in the seventh inning. The right-hander hasn't given up an earned run in any of his past five outings, a span of 6.2 frames. He's registered a 3.90 ERA and 1.23 WHIP on the season while recording two holds.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Dominant in rehab debut

    Garcia (shoulder) struck out the side in a scoreless inning of relief for the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate Monday.

    It's not surprising to see Garcia dominate FCL hitters, but it is a very encouraging start to his rehab assignment. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since May 22 due to a shoulder impingement, and he'll likely be shifted to a higher-level affiliate in short order as he tracks toward a return to the Toronto bullpen within the next week or so.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Angels' Kenley Jansen: Avoids significant injury

    Jansen left Monday's game against Boston due to a cramp in his right pectoral, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Jansen is expected to be fine after leaving Monday's game unexpectedly. The club will presumably check on him again in the morning, but Jansen stated in the clubhouse after the game that he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup, per Bollinger.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Angels' Kenley Jansen: Exits with injury

    Jansen left Monday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Jansen's velocity was notably down upon entering the game, and he left with the team trainer after throwing four pitches. The right-hander can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information to share on his availability moving forward.

  • White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Working as opener Tuesday

    Leasure will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against Arizona, Jack Ankony of SI.com repots.

    Leasure will likely cover the first inning or two before exiting the game. Lefty Tyler Alexander is a candidate to work in long relief Tuesday.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Confirmed to start Tuesday

    Latz will start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Latz was technically available out of the bullpen for Monday's 6-0 loss to the Orioles, but the Rangers stayed away from him so that he'll be available to take the hill Tuesday for his second start of the season. The left-hander tossed 5.2 innings and 82 pitches in his most recent relief appearance Thursday against the Royals, so Latz will likely be operating as a traditional starter Tuesday rather than leading off a bullpen game. He's expected to head back to the bullpen after Tuesday's outing, as the Rangers are likely to get Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) back from the injured list later this week.

  • Levi Wells RP | BAL

    Orioles' Levi Wells: Completes brief IL stint

    Wells (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list Saturday.

    The right-hander's stay on the injured list was a brief one, as he was able to bounce back from right shoulder inflammation quickly. Wells fared well in his first outing since suffering the injury, surrendering one run on four hits while striking out one over three innings Saturday against Double-A Erie.
