  • 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.

    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 | LAA

    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.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Yankees' Devin Williams: Sliding back into closer role

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Williams will be the team's primary closer while Luke Weaver (hamstring) is sidelined.

    Weaver is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks after straining his hamstring while warming up during Sunday's game against the Dodgers. Williams was removed from the closer role in late April but has pitched well lately, yielding just two runs with a 15:2 K:BB over his last 10 innings.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Angels' Kenley Jansen: Cleanly works save

    Jansen worked a clean ninth inning, striking out one, to pick up the save during Monday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox.

    Jansen's ERA might look a bit unsightly, but one bad outing is bringing down the 37-year-old's 4.91 ERA. When there's an opportunity to lock down a game, he has been as reliable as they come, converting a perfect 12-of-12 save chances with 11 strikeouts and only one run allowed in those appearances.
