  • Grant Holman P | ATH

    Athletics' Grant Holman: Serving as opener

    Holman will start Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    The right-hander will make the first start of his MLB career Tuesday as an opener. Holman has a 4.74 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 19 innings this season and should hand things off to the bullpen after an inning or two.

  • Zack Kelly RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Zack Kelly: Summoned from minors

    The Red Sox recalled Kelly from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Kelly has been touched up for 12 runs (11 earned) over 12 innings for the Red Sox this season. He'll provide the bullpen with a fresh arm.

  • Red Sox's Cooper Criswell: Back in big leagues

    The Red Sox recalled Criswell from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    The Red Sox need some length in their bullpen after Richard Fitts recorded just three outs Monday against the Angels. Criswell has been rocked for eight runs (five earned) over 4.1 innings during his time with Boston this season but has collected a 1.52 ERA while being used primarily as a starter at Worcester.

  • Nick Burdi RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Burdi: Goes on IL with foot contusion

    The Red Sox placed Burdi on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right foot contusion, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    He will be eligible to return June 18 and would seem to have a good shot to be activated on that date. Burdi has spun 5.1 scoreless relief innings for the Red Sox this season.

  • Caleb Freeman RP | CHW

    White Sox's Caleb Freeman: Brought up from Triple-A

    The White Sox recalled Freeman from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Freeman has made four relief appearances in the majors this season, permitting two runs over 2.1 frames. The 27-year-old will give Chicago's bullpen a fresh arm.

  • Beau Brieske RP | DET

    Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Tuesday's game

    Brieske will start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Brieske regularly served as an opener for Detroit last season and will receive his first start of 2025 on Tuesday. The right-hander has a 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB across 20 innings this season and isn't likely to pitcher longer than an inning or two versus Chicago.

  • Yankees' Yerry De Los Santos: Back in big leagues

    The Yankees recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

    De Los Santos has permitted four runs with a 9:6 K:BB over 12 innings this season during his time with the big club. He will be used in low-leverage spots.

  • Fernando Cruz RP | NYY

    Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Activated from injured list

    The Yankees activated Cruz (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Cruz was sidelined for the past two weeks with right shoulder inflammation. He'll skip a rehab assignment and go right back into a Yankees bullpen that just lost Luke Weaver (hamstring).

  • Luke Weaver SP | NYM

    Yankees' Luke Weaver: IL move made official

    The Yankees placed Weaver on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain.

    Weaver suffered the injury while warming up during Sunday's game against the Dodgers and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks. Devin Williams will slide back into the closer role for the Yankees while Weaver is shelved.

  • Nick Sandlin RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Nick Sandlin: Ready for rehab assignment

    Sandlin (lat) reported to the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Sandlin was given the green light to begin a rehab assignment after he tossed a live batting practice session Friday without incident. The right-hander has been on the shelf since April 20 with a right lat strain and will likely make multiple appearances in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list. He could be ready to rejoin the Toronto bullpen around the middle of June.
