Jose Corniell RP | TEX
Rangers' Jose Corniell: Placed on IL
The Rangers placed Corniell on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with an elbow injury, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Corniell gave up five earned runs in just one inning out of the bullpen during Monday's game against the White Sox, and he'll now have to remain on the sidelines until at least Aug. 5 due to his latest injury. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though it's worth noting that the 23-year-old righty underwent Tommy John surgery back in 2024. Marco Gonzales was promoted from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Eduardo Rivera SP | BOS
Red Sox's Eduardo Rivera: Game postponed Tuesday
Rivera won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Orioles since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Ranger Suarez (groin) was initially poised to come off the injured list to start Tuesday, but the Red Sox then announced Rivera as their starting pitcher before the game was ultimately postponed. The rookie left-hander could pitch in Wednesday's doubleheader, but Suarez also remains in the mix to start the nightcap.

Hayden Juenger RP | ATH
Athletics' Hayden Juenger: Recalled from Triple-A
The Athletics recalled Juenger from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Juenger will provide depth to the Athletics' bullpen while Mark Leiter (hip) is on the injured list. Juenger has given up five earned runs in six innings at Las Vegas since being traded to the A's in June, and he will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while in the majors.

Mark Leiter RP | ATH
Athletics' Mark Leiter: Back on IL
The Athletics placed Leiter on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday, with a right hip impingement.
Leiter already spent time on the injured list in late June and early July due to a right hip impingement, and he'll now end up back on the shelf after aggravating the injury. Hayden Juenger was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the Athletics' bullpen depth.

Jack Anderson RP | MIN
Twins' Jack Anderson: Summoned from minors
The Twins recalled Anderson from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.
Anderson was a waiver claim of the Twins earlier this month and will now get his first opportunity in the majors with his new organization. The right-hander is expected to pitch during Tuesday's game versus the Guardians, likely following Kendry Rojas.

Zack Kelly RP | BOS
Red Sox's Zack Kelly: Called up, placed on 60-day IL
The Red Sox recalled Kelly (elbow) from Triple-A Worcester and placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
The right-hander landed on the 7-day IL at Worcester in early July due to elbow inflammation, and he'll now be sidelined until at least early September. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but it's possible that Kelly has already thrown his last competitive pitch of the season.

Eduardo Rivera SP | BOS
Red Sox's Eduardo Rivera: Making another start Tuesday
Rivera will start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Ranger Suarez (groin) was scheduled to come off the injured list to start Tuesday, but the Red Sox will instead turn to Rivera. The rookie left-hander has made three appearances for Boston this year and has given up three earned runs with a 9:4 K:BB over 9.1 innings.

Jose Fermin RP | LAA
Angels' Jose Fermin: Credited with victory Monday
Fermin (3-1) earned the win over St. Louis on Monday, walking one batter and striking out two over one scoreless inning.
Fermin entered in the ninth frame with the Angels down 2-1. He didn't exactly have pinpoint control, throwing just 10 of 21 pitches for strikes, but the righty reliever worked around a two-out walk and then got the win when the Angels walked it off in the bottom of the inning. Fermin has been outstanding since his most recent call-up June 15, posting a 0.56 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 16 innings spanning 12 appearances. He has only one hold and no saves over that span, but he could begin to see more high-leverage opportunities with continued success.

Joe La Sorsa RP | BOS
Red Sox's Joe La Sorsa: Shelved at Triple-A
Triple-A Worcester placed La Sorsa on its 7-day injured list July 1 due to a concussion, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.
After being acquired from the Pirates on June 4, La Sorsa made his Red Sox debut three days later before being optioned to Triple-A soon thereafter. The reliever went on to toss 6.1 scoreless innings over six appearances for Worcester before hitting the shelf.

Alec Gamboa RP | BOS
Red Sox's Alec Gamboa: Heads back to Triple-A
The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.
Gamboa was up with the Red Sox for just one day, as he served as the club's 27th man in Friday's doubleheader versus the Rays. He mopped up in the Red Sox's 10-0 win in the first game of the day, striking out a batter and allowing two hits and no walks over three scoreless innings en route to earning his first MLB save.
