    Rangers' Jose Urena: Takes fourth loss

    Urena (1-4) allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Twins.

    Urena turned in two straight quality starts before Friday's outing. He needed 95 pitches to get through five innings, though he managed to set a new season high with six punchouts. The 32-year-old righty has posted a 2.78 ERA through 22.2 innings since joining the Rangers rotation, and he's sporting a 3.53 ERA with a 30:14 K:BB through 43.1 frames overall. As of now, Urena's next start is expected to come in Miami.

  • Craig Kimbrel RP | NYM

    Orioles' Craig Kimbrel: Slams door for save

    Kimbrel struck out one batter in a perfect inning and earned a save over the White Sox on Friday.

    Kimbrel needed just six pitches to finish off a 6-4 victory in quick fashion. After a shaky stretch, he's riding a 5.2-inning scoreless streak. During that span, he's gone 1-0 with three saves and two holds. The veteran closer dropped his ERA to 3.32 and has converted 11 of his 14 saves this season.

  • Ian Hamilton RP | ATL

    Yankees' Ian Hamilton: Could return Sunday

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that he expects Hamilton (illness) to be back for Sunday's series finale against the Padres, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Hamilton was placed on the 7-day COVID-19 injured list Monday, and the right-hander appears to have recovered from the illness. Over 19 appearances this season, Hamilton has a 3.18 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and six holds across 22.2 innings.

  • Bryan Mata RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Bryan Mata: Managing lat, shoulder soreness

    Mata (hamstring) was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment due to shoulder and lat soreness Friday and is traveling to Boston to be evaluated, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    The right-hander threw three innings for Double-A Portland on Thursday, but his rehab assignment is now being paused. Mata is working his way back from a hamstring strain, and the new injuries will push back his return timeline.

  • Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Yankees recalled Gomez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

    With Nick Burdi (hip) headed to the injured list, Gomez will fill the opening in New York's bullpen. The 24-year-old righty pitched two scoreless innings during his MLB debut last season and has posted a 3.62 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 27.1 frames this year at Triple-A.

  • Dominic Leone RP | CHW

    White Sox's Dominic Leone: Out with elbow inflammation

    The White Sox placed Leone on the 15-day injured list Friday with right elbow inflammation.

    Leone has just rejoined the roster this week after dealing with lower-back tightness, but he'll return to the injured list after making just one appearance for Chicago. It's unclear how long the veteran right-hander is expected to be sidelined.

  • White Sox's Justin Anderson: Back in majors

    The White Sox recalled Anderson from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    The 31-year-old will join Chicago on Friday as Dominic Leone (elbow) heads to the injured list. Anderson has made three appearances for the White Sox and has spent most of the campaign with Charlotte, where he has a 2.50 ERA and 25:4 K:BB over 18 innings.

  • Nick Burdi RP | NYM

    Yankees' Nick Burdi: Placed on injured list

    The Yankees placed Burdi on the 15-day injured list Friday with right hip inflammation.

    Burdi was able to get through only one-third of an inning during Thursday's win over Seattle, recording his lone out via strikeout and walking the other two batters he faced. It's unclear whether or not his hip had any impact on his performance, but the 31-year-old righty will miss at least the next 15 days. Yoendrys Gomez will come up from Triple-A to take Burdi's spot in the bullpen.

  • Tigers' Brendan White: Suffers elbow injury

    White, who is currently assigned to Double-A Erie, is dealing with right elbow inflammation and began a throwing program this week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    White began the season at Triple-A Toledo but missed most of April due to elbow trouble that has been plaguing him since spring training. He returned to action with Single-A Lakeland on April 28, but the right-hander was shut down again May 8 after making one appearance for Erie. White pitched 40.2 innings for the Tigers last year with a 5.09 ERA, but he appears to be a long way from helping the big-league club in 2024.

  • Jon Heasley RP | KC

    Orioles' Jonathan Heasley: Optioned back down

    Heasley was optioned down to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday by the Orioles.

    Heasley will back back down to Norfolk just one day after being called up. The right-hander has struggled in his four appearances this season with the Orioles, giving up 10 earned runs and two home runs with a 4:3 K:BB across 5.1 innings.
