  • Erik Swanson RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Erik Swanson: Close to activation off IL

    Swanson (forearm) is with the Blue Jays in Toronto and could be reinstated from the 60-day injured list as soon as Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Swanson is in the final stages of his recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome in his right forearm, which caused him to start the season on the IL. He's given up two hits and no walks while striking out four batters over his last five minor-league innings, and the the veteran right-hander appears to be on the cusp of rejoining the Blue Jays' bullpen. Swanson posted a 5.03 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, nine holds and a 37:14 K:BB across 39.1 innings for Toronto in 2024.

  • Nic Enright RP | CLE

    Guardians' Nic Enright: Back in majors

    The Guardians recalled Enright from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Enright was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday, but he'll return to the majors after the Guardians placed Andrew Walters (lat) on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Enright made his major-league debut against the Tigers this past Sunday, and across two outings with the Guardians he has allowed three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four in three innings.

  • Guardians' Andrew Walters: Shelved with lat strain

    The Guardians placed Walters on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a right lat strain, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Walters suffered the injury during the ninth inning of Friday's game against the Angels. The Guardians haven't determined whether Walters will need surgery, but the 24-year-old is expected to be sidelined for an extended period after president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said that the right-hander has been diagnosed with a "significant tear," per SI.com. Nic Enright was recalled from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Could avoid rehab assignment

    Martin (shoulder) will toss a bullpen session Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Martin landed on the 15-day injured list May 20 due to right shoulder fatigue. He has been cleared to resume his throwing program, and Rangers manager Bruce Bochy relayed Saturday that Martin may not need a rehab assignment as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Martin posted a 1.83 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, nine holds and a 23:3 K:BB across 19.2 innings prior to his placement on the IL.

  • Cionel Perez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Cionel Perez: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Perez was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday after clearing waivers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Perez was DFA'd by the Orioles last Saturday after logging an 8.31 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB across 21.2 innings. He'll remain in the Orioles organization and report to Triple-A, where he'll look to regain his control and perform well enough to warrant a return to the majors.

  • Jose Urena SP | LAA

    Blue Jays' Jose Urena: Designated for assignment

    The Blue Jays designated Urena for assignment Saturday.

    Urena has surrendered five earned runs in 12.1 innings since joining the Blue Jays on May 3. Despite his improved performance after a rough start with the Mets, he'll now be pushed off the 26-man and 40-man rosters to make room for Easton Lucas, who was recalled to Toronto in a corresponding move. Urena owns a 4.78 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across his MLB career, but his recent run with the Jays may capture the attention of other teams in need of pitching help.

  • Athletics' Anthony Maldonado: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Athletics optioned Maldonado to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

    After being recalled from Triple-A on May 20, Maldonado gave up six earned runs in just five innings while striking out five batters and walking five more. The A's will now send him back to the minors to right the ship and recall Osvaldo Bido as the 27-year-old's replacement.

  • Guardians' Andrew Walters: Removed with injury

    Walters was removed from Friday's game with what appeared to an injury in the area of his shoulder, arm and back, MLB.com reports.

    Walters grabbed at the area in obvious pain following a pitch in the ninth inning and was immediately removed. The right-hander will undergo an MRI on Saturday, and manager Stephen Vogt described the injury as "not good" following the game.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Notches eighth save

    Vest gave up a run on two hits while striking out one in the ninth inning Friday to record his eighth save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Royals.

    It's the second straight appearance in which Vest has been charged with a run, but he held a 0.00 ERA in 12 May innings prior to that. The right-hander is the lead dog in the Tigers' closer committee right now, picking up three of the team's last four saves, and on the season Vest sports a 2.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB through 27 innings while converting eight of his 10 save chances.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Blows save Friday

    Munoz allowed three runs on four hits and struck out two without walking a batter over one inning, taking a blown save in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

    Munoz fell apart in the ninth inning, allowing a two-run home run to Willi Castro and the game-tying RBI single to Trevor Larnach. The earned runs were the first of the year for Munoz. The 26-year-old is still at a sterling 1.09 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB while converting 17 of 20 save chances over 24.2 innings.
