  • Matt Gage RP | SF

    Tigers' Matt Gage: Extends scoreless streak

    Gage, who tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Tuesday's win over the Athletics, has now made five straight scoreless appearances since debuting with the Tigers.

    Gage has allowed five hits and two walks in his 5.1 total innings of work so far, but he's yet to allow any runs. It's a small sample, though the lefty was also pitching well for Triple-A Toledo, posting a 1.67 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 32.1 innings with the Mud Hens earlier in the year. Gage could eventually see more high-leverage work out of the Detroit bullpen if he keeps up this level of performance.

  • Yankees' Jonathan Loaisiga: Exits with trainer

    Loaisiga was removed from Tuesday's game against the Reds with an apparent injury, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    Loaisiga gave up three runs in just one-third of an inning Tuesday before walking off the mound alongside a trainer. It's not immediately clear what's bothering the 30-year-old righty, but the Yankees should provide more details after they take a closer look at him.

  • Jordan Weems RP | LAD

    Astros' Jordan Weems: Added to roster

    The Astros selected Weems' contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Weems was just signed to a minor-league deal earlier this month and receives a promotion after allowing five runs with a 10:6 K:BB over 11.1 innings with Sugar Land. He'll likely operate in low-leverage situations.

  • Shawn Dubin RP | ARI

    Astros' Shawn Dubin: Out with forearm strain

    The Astros placed Dubin on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right forearm strain, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Dubin last pitched Friday against the Angels and evidently got hurt during that outing. He'll be eligible to return July 6, but given the nature of the injury, it could take him longer than that.

  • Jovani Moran RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Activated from Triple-A IL

    Moran (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Moran missed all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery but has returned to make six rehab appearances in the lower minors, allowing four runs with a 17:5 K:BB over 7.2 innings. The lefty reliever has a career 29 percent strikeout rate in the majors and should get an opportunity with the Red Sox eventually, but he will need to knock off some rust at Worcester first.

  • Marc Church P | TEX

    Rangers' Marc Church: On Triple-A IL with elbow injury

    Church is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Round Rock with right elbow inflammation, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Church has spent most of this season at Round Rock and had struggled this month before getting hurt, yielding six runs with a 4:9 K:BB over 4.2 innings. The Rangers are still evaluating the reliever's injury before mapping out a rehab plan.

  • Ian Hamilton RP | ATL

    Yankees' Ian Hamilton: Tosses two scoreless relief frames

    Hamilton allowed two hits and issued one walk while striking out two batters over two scoreless innings Monday against the Reds.

    Hamilton entered in the fifth frame with runners on the corners and one out. He walked a batter and then allowed an inherited runner to score on a single but avoided further damage by inducing a double play. Hamilton yielded just one more hit before exiting in the seventh inning. The right-hander hasn't given up an earned run in any of his past five outings, a span of 6.2 frames. He's registered a 3.90 ERA and 1.23 WHIP on the season while recording two holds.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Dominant in rehab debut

    Garcia (shoulder) struck out the side in a scoreless inning of relief for the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate Monday.

    It's not surprising to see Garcia dominate FCL hitters, but it is a very encouraging start to his rehab assignment. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since May 22 due to a shoulder impingement, and he'll likely be shifted to a higher-level affiliate in short order as he tracks toward a return to the Toronto bullpen within the next week or so.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Angels' Kenley Jansen: Avoids significant injury

    Jansen left Monday's game against Boston due to a cramp in his right pectoral, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Jansen is expected to be fine after leaving Monday's game unexpectedly. The club will presumably check on him again in the morning, but Jansen stated in the clubhouse after the game that he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup, per Bollinger.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Angels' Kenley Jansen: Exits with injury

    Jansen left Monday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Jansen's velocity was notably down upon entering the game, and he left with the team trainer after throwing four pitches. The right-hander can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information to share on his availability moving forward.
