    Angels' Ben Joyce: Yet to throw off mound

    Joyce (shoulder) has been throwing at the Angels' facility in Arizona but has yet to resume mound work, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Joyce has been on the injured list all year while on the mend from a shoulder procedure he underwent in May 2025. He was initially cleared to begin a rehab assignment in late April but was shut down when his shoulder began failing to recover in between outings. He resumed throwing in late May, but the Angels are seemingly taking things slowly while building the 25-year-old back up. It's unclear how far away he is from beginning another rehab assignment.

  • Blue Jays' Connor Seabold: Loses roster spot

    The Blue Jays designated Seabold for assignment Wednesday.

    Following his acquisition from the Tigers on May 27, Seabold made five appearances out of the Toronto bullpen and gave up three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter in 3.1 innings. The 30-year-old right-hander will give up his spot on the roster to Max Scherzer (ankle/forearm), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Phillies.

  • Rays' Garrett Cleavinger: Notches second save

    Cleavinger gave up one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning Wednesday to record his second save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Red Sox. He struck out one.

    A solo shot by Caleb Durbin accounted for the damage off Cleavinger, who got the call in a save situation with Bryan Baker having pitched the prior two days. The long ball was only the second Cleavinger has served up this season, and through 15.1 innings he's produced a 4.70 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB in 15.1 innings while recording one win and eight holds over 17 appearances, in addition to his two saves.

  • Matt Brash RP | SEA

    Mariners' Matt Brash: Shut down with lat strain

    The Mariners placed Brash on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right lat strain.

    Seattle recalled right-hander Domingo Gonzalez from Triple-A Tacoma to take Brash's spot in the bullpen. Brash has served as one of the top setup arms in front of closer Andres Munoz this season, notching three wins and six holds while accruing a 0.54 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 16.2 innings over his 20 appearances.

  • Mariners' Domingo Gonzalez: Added to big-league bullpen

    The Mariners recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

    Gonzalez has tossed 5.2 scoreless frames with a 5:3 K:BB during his time in the majors this season. The 26-year-old will operate in a middle-relief role.

  • Chris Murphy RP | CHW

    White Sox's Chris Murphy: Summoned to big leagues

    The White Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

    He's taking the roster spot vacated by the injured Tyler Gilbert (shoulder). Murphy has given up seven runs with a 9:8 K:BB over 9.1 frames during his time in the Chicago bullpen this season. He'll likely be used in low-leverage spots while up with the White Sox.

  • Tyler Gilbert RP | CHW

    White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Shelved by shoulder injury

    The White Sox placed Gilbert on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.

    Gilbert retired one of three batters he faced in Tuesday's extra-innings win over Atlanta and finds himself on the IL a day later. Chris Murphy will take over Gilbert's vacated roster spot.

  • Alec Gamboa RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Alec Gamboa: Sent back to minors

    The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    He's clearing out to make space on the roster for Jake Bennett, who will start Wednesday's contest in Tampa Bay. Gamboa made one appearance during his brief stint with the Red Sox, retiring both batters he faced.

  • Mike Paredes SP | MIN

    Twins' Mike Paredes: Drawing first big-league start

    Paredes is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Tigers in Detroit, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Before receiving his first big-league call-up May 31, Paredes had mostly been working out of the rotation at Triple-A St. Paul, with whom he produced a 3.38 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB in 34.2 innings. Though he's worked out of the bullpen over his first week and a half with the Twins, Paredes has been able to stay stretched out by making a pair of 3.2-inning appearances in long relief. He'll be pitching on five days' rest Wednesday, so Paredes should be capable of giving the Twins plenty of length in his first big-league start before turning the game over to the bullpen.

  • Ben Joyce RP | LAA

    Angels' Ben Joyce: Set to resume rehab assignment

    Joyce (shoulder) was sent to Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday to resume a rehab assignment.

    Joyce had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment because his surgically repaired right shoulder wasn't recovering well in between outings. He's now ready to give things another try and should eventually move his rehab up to Triple-A Salt Lake before zeroing in on a return to the Angels.
