The Athletics placed Kriske on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder impingement.

Kriske was removed from his appearance Tuesday due to a shoulder issue, and he'll now officially be sidelined for at least the next 15 days after being diagnosed with an impingement. Mason Barnett will come up from Triple-A Las Vegas to round out the Athletics' bullpen.

Crochet (shoulder) will throw a 20-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

After he had been limited to playing catch since landing on the injured list April 29 due to left shoulder inflammation, Crochet was able to do some throwing off a mound Tuesday. The lefty will now take part in a more formal bullpen session a day later, marking a major step forward in the recovery process. The Red Sox were initially hopeful that Crochet would be in line for a minimum-length stay on the shelf, but since he's now missed more than two weeks, he'll likely need to make a rehab start or pitch in a simulated game before he gets activated from the 15-day injured list.

Berroa (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Advancing to a rehab assignment represents the final stage of the recovery process for Berroa as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent March 7, 2025. The White Sox are likely to keep Berroa in the minors for close to the entirety of his allotted 30-day rehab window, so he shouldn't be expected to return from the 60-day injured list until early June. During his last healthy season with Chicago in 2024, Berroa made 17 appearances out of the bullpen and logged a 3.32 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB over 19 innings.

The Angels placed Pomeranz on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to elbow inflammation, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Pomeranz appeared in relief for an inning Tuesday against Cleveland, which is presumably when he suffered the injury. The 37-year-old has made 17 appearances with a rocky 7.20 ERA this season. Ryan Johnson was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

Heuer was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

Heuer will be making his first appearance in the major leagues for Cleveland if/when he gets into a game. To make room for him on the roster, Franco Aleman was sent down to Columbus. The 29-year-old Heuer has a 2.57 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 14 innings at Columbus this year and will give the Guardians' injury-riddled bullpen a fresh arm.

Armstrong (groin) allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over one inning for Double-A Akron on Tuesday.

Armstrong began a rehab assignment with the RubberDucks on Tuesday. He threw 19 pitches (11 strikes) and will likely need another outing or two before rejoining Cleveland's bullpen. He hasn't pitched since April 21 and can be activated at any time.

Latz earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday by retiring all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Latz didn't look like he would get a chance to close with Texas leading 7-1 entering the ninth. However, Gavin Collyer failed to register an out while walking three batters and giving up a single, so Latz was called upon to put out the flames. The lefty allowed a pair of inherited runners to score but did his job successfully, getting three outs on 12 pitches. He seems to have settled in as the Rangers' closer, collecting a save in five of his past six appearances while posting a minuscule 0.83 ERA and 0.42 WHIP along with a 17:4 K:BB across 21.2 innings on the campaign.

Rooney (elbow) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

After undergoing elbow surgery in September, Rooney is back healthy and ready to continue his development in the minors. The 29-year-old left-hander made three rehab appearances at the High-A level on a rehab assignment before being reinstated, working around two walks and fanning one in a scoreless inning for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Cook was placed on the 7-day injured list Monday due to a right intercostal strain, per MLB.com.

Through 12.1 innings for Triple-A Durham before getting injured, the 25-year-old right-hander posted a 5.84 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB. Cook's timetable for a return to the mound is unclear, but he could end up missing multiple weeks before being cleared.

Hudson earned the save Tuesday against the Royals, retiring the side in order in the ninth inning.

With Seranthony Dominguez working the eighth inning Tuesday, Hudson got the call in the ninth inning and protected a one-run lead by retiring the heart of Kansas City's lineup in order. The save was his second of the season as he continues an outstanding run out of Chicago's bullpen. Hudson has now tossed 17.2 consecutive scoreless innings while posting a 19:6 K:BB during that stretch. On the season, the veteran right-hander owns a stellar 0.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB across 20 innings.
