  • Clayton Beeter RP | WAS

    Yankees' Clayton Beeter: Moved to minor-league 60-day IL

    Beeter (shoulder) was transferred from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on July 22.

    Beeter last pitched for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 15, and he was subsequently transferred to the 7-day IL due to a shoulder injury. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said July 9 that the 25-year-old was in danger of missing the remainder of the season, so it's not surprising to see him transferred to the 60-day IL. Beeter had been pitching well prior to getting hurt, posting a 2.53 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 32 innings for the Triple-A club. He also got into one game for the Yankees, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning versus Houston on March 29.

  • Rays' Shawn Armstrong: Serving as opener Sunday

    Armstrong will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Reds, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Armstrong will open his seventh game of the season and will likely throw one or two innings before giving way to Tyler Alexander, who is expected to work in bulk relief. Armstrong threw two scoreless innings with four strikeouts Tuesday while serving as an opener in the Rays' game against the Blue Jays.

  • Alex Speas RP | MIN

    Red Sox's Alex Speas: Departs 40-man roster

    The Red Sox designated Speas for assignment Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Speas will be removed from the Red Sox's 40-man roster to make room for Danny Jansen, who's coming over from Toronto via trade. Speas was claimed off waivers by Boston on June 29 but has been with Triple-A Worcester since.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Likely available Saturday

    Santos (knee) is feeling better and will likely be available out of the bullpen for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Santos exited Wednesday's game with a right knee injury and underwent an MRI that "came back OK," per manager Scott Servais. The right-hander has made progress in the last 24 hours and should be available to pitch against his former team Saturday night. Since being activated from the 60-day IL on July 8, Santos has allowed three runs in four innings.

  • Sammy Peralta RP | MIL

    White Sox's Sammy Peralta: Back down to Charlotte

    The White Sox optioned Peralta to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

    Right-hander Davis Martin will take Peralta's place on the active roster. In his three major-league outings after being called up from Charlotte on July 20, Peralta allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out four across 5.2 frames. Across 18 appearances with Charlotte this year, Peralta holds a 1.08 ERA and 0.74 WHIP across 16.2 innings.

  • Jordan Romano RP | LAA

    Blue Jays' Jordan Romano: Transferred to 60-day IL

    The Blue Jays transferred Romano (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    Romano landed on the 15-day injured list June 1 due to right elbow inflammation. He was shut down from throwing twice after landing on the IL, and he eventually underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair an impingement in his throwing elbow July 3. Romano still has a ways to go before throwing again, and it's unclear whether he will return to major-league action by the end of the season. With Yimi Garcia traded to Seattle on Friday, Chad Green appears set to continue serving as Toronto's primary closer.

  • Ryan Burr RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ryan Burr: Back up with Toronto

    The Blue Jays recalled Burr from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

    Burr will fill the void in Toronto's bullpen left by Nate Pearson, who was traded to the Cubs earlier Saturday. In his last major-league outing Thursday against the Rays, Burr gave up four runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one in one inning. He did not allow a run or hit across his six prior major-league appearances, allowing just one walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings.

  • Chad Green RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chad Green: Nabs win Friday

    Green (3-2) picked up the win in Friday's 6-5 victory over the Rangers, striking out two batters over 1.1 perfect innings of relief.

    Green breezed through the top of the Texas order on 17 pitches (11 strikes), and he got rewarded when Ernie Clement dropped a walk-off single into left field in the bottom of the ninth. The veteran-right-hander has a clear path to the Blue Jays' closing job with Yimi Garcia now a Mariner and Jordan Romano (elbow) not even expected to resume throwing until mid-August, but with Toronto in sell mode at the trade deadline, Green could also wind up following Garcia out the door. Since returning from a shoulder issue in late May, Green has delivered a 1.54 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB in 23.1 innings while collecting two wins, four holds and five saves.

  • Rays' Jacob Waguespack: Resumes throwing program

    Waguespack (shoulder) resumed his long-toss progression Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Waguespack has been sidelined since April 12 and previously had his rehab shut down. However, he's resumed throwing and could toss a bullpen session at some point during the week of July 29.

  • Joey Wentz SP | ATL

    Tigers' Joey Wentz: Allows two more runs Friday

    Wentz allowed two runs on four hits across 2.1 innings of relief in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Twins. He walked one and struck out three.

    The Tigers turned to Wentz for some length after starter Keider Montero allowed six runs over five innings, and he continued his recent struggles. Wentz has allowed runs in his last five appearances and his season ERA has climbed to 5.73. While Detroit may have some rotation spots open up in the near future if it trades one or both of Jack Flaherty and Tarik Skubal, Wentz likely wouldn't be a reliable fantasy option if he took on a starting role.
