Albert Suarez RP | BAL
Orioles' Albert Suarez: Solid in no-decision
Suarez didn't factor into the decision Friday against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Suarez allowed a lone run in the second inning before settling in and blanking the Rays over his final three frames, allowing just one additional hit. The 34-year-old Suarez has allowed just one run over nine innings in two starts since returning to Baltimore's rotation. Overall, he's 2-0 with a 1.57 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB across 34.1 innings this year. With John Means (elbow) and Tyler Wells (elbow) both out for the year, Suarez could be in for an extended look as a starter. He's currently in line for a road matchup with Toronto in his next outing.

Tigers' Shelby Miller: Set for rehab appearance Friday
Miller (elbow) will make his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Miller began his rehab assignment Tuesday, when he pitched one scoreless inning while giving up one hit and one walk. The 33-year-old right-hander continues to work his way through inflammation in his right ulnar nerve that landed him on the 15-day IL on May 13. How Miller fares Friday will determine whether he needs another rehab outing or can rejoin the Tigers' bullpen.

Ryan Burr RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Ryan Burr: Added to big-league roster
The Blue Jays selected Burr's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Burr was acquired via trade from the Phillies on Thursday and will immediately join the major-league roster. The right-hander holds a 2.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB across 16.2 innings with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season. If/when Burr appears in a game, it would be his first at the big-league level since 2022.

Joel Kuhnel RP | ATH
Blue Jays' Joel Kuhnel: DFA'd again
Kuhnel was designated for assignment Friday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Kuhnel made his way to Toronto's organization after being DFA'd by the Astros in April, and he'll once again be put on waivers with Friday's move. He'll give way to Ryan Burr -- who was traded from the Phillies on Thursday -- on the 40-man roster. If Kuhnel clears waivers, he'll likely remain in the Blue Jays' farm system.

Lucas Erceg RP | KC
Athletics' Lucas Erceg: IL move official
The Athletics announced Friday that Erceg (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to May 26.
Erceg hasn't pitched since May 25 due to forearm tightness and will officially be sidelined until at least June 10. Prior to the injury, Erceg had operated as Mason Miller's setup man, a role that Austin Adams or Scott Alexander could fill until Erceg returns.

Daniel Lynch SP | KC
Royals' Daniel Lynch: Sent back down
Lynch was optioned to Triple-A Omaha after Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.
The southpaw was brought up to the majors as a spot starter for Brady Singer (illness) and yielded two earned runs and a pair of homers across five innings Thursday against the Twins. Lynch has been reliable in his 12 big-league innings this season with just those two earned runs allowed, but he'll likely remain at the Triple-A level while the Royals' rotation is at or near full health.

Royals' Will Klein: Recalled from minors
Kansas City recalled Klein from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
The 24-year-old righty will rejoin the Royals after being optioned down in late April, while southpaw Daniel Lynch gets sent down to Omaha in a corresponding move. Klein has seen just one inning with Kansas City this year and logged two strikeouts with no runs allowed.
