  • Spencer Miles RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Falls to Baltimore

    Miles (2-1) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out two.

    Five of the runs charged to Miles came in the third inning, capped by a Colton Cowser three-run homer with two outs. It was the second start of the season for Miles. The right-hander had found success as a bulk reliever prior to Sunday, allowing just one run in his previous 15.1 innings. Miles' ERA now sits at 3.47 with a 1.16 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB across 36.1 innings this season.

  • Dietrich Enns RP | BAL

    Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Remains in organization

    Enns cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Enns posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB across 16 innings for Baltimore before being dumped from the 40-man roster.

  • Royals' Eric Cerantola: Returns to Omaha

    The Royals optioned Cerantola to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

    Cerantola was called up Friday and will return to Omaha after allowing one run over one inning during his lone appearance. The 26-year-old has posted a 1.37 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 19.2 frames at Triple-A this year while serving as the Storm Chasers' primary closer.

  • Matt Strahm RP | KC

    Royals' Matt Strahm: Returns from IL

    The Royals reinstated Strahm (knee) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

    The left-hander has been sidelined the past couple weeks due to knee inflammation, but he received an injection to address the injury and is now ready to rejoin the active roster. Strahm has a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings while recording eight holds through 17 appearances this year.

  • Travis Adams RP | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Rejoins big club

    The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

    The right-hander was optioned to St. Paul after Thursday's loss to the White Sox but will quickly return to the big-league roster with Bailey Ober (elbow) headed to the injured list. Adams has struggled in seven MLB appearances this year, posting a 7.20 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB over 10 innings.

  • John Klein RP | MIN

    Twins' John Klein: Sent to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Klein to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

    The right-hander was called up Saturday and will return to St. Paul after firing two scoreless frames against Pittsburgh. Across two stints in the majors this year, Klein has given up two earned runs with 2:4 K:BB in three appearances (4.1 innings).

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Suffers setback in recovery process

    Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Sunday that Crochet (shoulder) began experiencing lat tightness over the past few days and will have his throwing program shut down for the time being, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Though he initially expressed optimism that he would return in the minimum amount of time after landing on the 15-day injured list April 29 due to left shoulder inflammation, Crochet now remains without a clear timeline to rejoin the Boston rotation more than a month later. The southpaw had been scheduled to face live hitters in a simulated game Tuesday, but that plan has now been scrapped. Tracy noted that Crochet will visit doctors early this coming week and will likely undergo an MRI, which could offer some clarity on the 26-year-old's next steps.

  • Chris Murphy RP | CHW

    White Sox's Chris Murphy: Back in majors

    The White Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

    The left-hander returned from a month-long stint on the injured list due to an elbow issue in early May but was immediately optioned to Triple-A. Murphy has surrendered seven earned runs with a 6:5 K:BB over six big-league innings this year, but he'll rejoin the MLB club with Tyler Gilbert going on the family medical emergency list.

  • Tyler Gilbert RP | CHW

    White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Steps away from team

    The White Sox placed Gilbert on the family medical emergency list Sunday.

    The left-hander was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and will now step away from the team for a few days to be with his family for unspecified reasons. Gilbert will be eligible to rejoin the active roster after three days and can remain on the family medical emergency list for up to a week. Chris Murphy was called up Sunday to round out Chicago's bullpen.

  • Griffin Jax RP | TB

    Rays' Griffin Jax: Ready to start Monday

    Jax (back) is listed as Tampa Bay's scheduled starter for Monday's series opener against Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    The right-hander departed his last outing Tuesday in Baltimore after being struck in the back by a line drive, but he looks like he'll be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation. After struggling in the bullpen to begin the campaign, Jax has pitched well since being moved to the starting rotation in late April, posting a 1.71 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 21 innings.
