  • Dane Dunning SP | SEA

    Rangers' Dane Dunning: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Dunning to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    Dunning's demotion makes room on the 26-man roster for Nathan Eovaldi (triceps), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Mariners on Friday. Dunning worked out of the Rangers' bullpen against the Orioles on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out two batters across two innings.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Continuing rehab at Triple-A

    Garcia (shoulder) is expected to pitch for Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday and could rejoin the Blue Jays early next week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Garcia struck out the side in a rehab outing with Single-A Dunedin on Thursday, touching 97 mph with his fastball, and is gearing up for his MLB return. He's on track to rejoin the Toronto bullpen at some point during a seven-game homestand beginning Monday.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Still playing catch

    Suarez (shoulder) played catch Friday and remains without a timetable for return, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Suarez's recovery has seemingly plateaued, as the 35-year-old hasn't progressed past playing catch since it was reported he was throwing at 105 feet off flat ground. He's been on the shelf since March 28.

  • Nick Burdi RP | NYM

    Red Sox's Nick Burdi: Suffers setback

    Burdi (foot) has been shut down due to a hip injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Burdi had been rehabbing at Triple-A Worcester, but he hasn't appeared in a game since June 15. It's now known he's picked up a hip injury and has been temporarily shut down. The severity of his setback is unclear.

  • Justin Slaten RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Starting up throwing program

    Slaten (shoulder) is scheduled to play catch Saturday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    It will be the right-hander's first time throwing since he landed on the injured list nearly a month ago due to shoulder inflammation. Slaten will require some time to build back up in his throwing program, so he shouldn't be expected to rejoin the Red Sox until after the All-Star break.

  • Guardians' Erik Sabrowski: Reinstated from IL

    The Guardians activated Sabrowski (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Sabrowski has been sidelined since spring training due to left elbow inflammation, and he's finally been cleared to make his 2025 debut. The 27-year-old threw 12.2 scoreless innings for Cleveland last season, but he has struggled a bit during his rehab assignment, logging a 5.14 ERA over seven innings at Triple-A Columbus. Sabrowski will take Zak Kent's spot on the active roster.

  • Zak Kent SP | MIN

    Guardians' Zak Kent: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Guardians optioned Kent to Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

    In a corresponding move, Cleveland activated Erik Sabrowski (elbow) from the 60-day injured list. Kent has appeared in four games out of the bullpen for the Guardians this season, registering a 6.14 ERA and 8:5 K:BB across 7.1 innings.

  • T.J. McFarland RP | ATH

    Athletics' T.J. McFarland: DFA'd by Athletics

    The Athletics designated McFarland for assignment on Friday.

    The left-hander spent most of May on the IL due to a groin injury before being activated in early June, and he'll lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters after giving up six runs in nine outings after being reinstated. McFarland has a decent track record in the majors and will have the option to elect free agency if he clears waivers.

  • Elvis Alvarado RP | ATH

    Athletics' Elvis Alvarado: Called up by As

    The Athletics called up Alvarado from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

    Alvarado will take T.J. McFarland's spot in the A's bullpen. The 26-year-old reliever has cruised to a 3.18 ERA and a 34:13 K:BB over 28.1 innings at Triple-A, but he's yielded five runs in six innings with the Athletics this season.

  • Kade Strowd P | ARI

    Orioles' Kade Strowd: Back up to bigs

    The Orioles recalled Strowd from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

    Strowd has bounced between Norfolk and Baltimore this season, and he'll be back on the big-league roster for the first time since May 20. The 27-year-old logged a 5.02 ERA and a 36:10 K:BB over 28.2 innings with Norfolk. He'll replace Brandon Young on the 26-man roster.
