The Rockies recalled Agnos from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Agnos will rejoin the big-league roster to provide extra bullpen depth as Tanner Gordon (hip) moves to the injured list. Agnos has performed poorly in the majors this season, accumulating a 7.78 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 37 innings.

The Rockies placed Gordon on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, with a right hip impingement.

Gordon gave up four earned runs in just three innings during his last start Sunday, and he'll now have to wait until at least mid-June for his next chance to redeem himself. It's unclear who will fill Gordon's place in the rotation, which is scheduled to come up Saturday, but the Rockies will recall Zach Agnos from Triple-A Albuquerque to provide additional bullpen depth during Friday's game against the Brewers.

The Padres placed Estrada on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, with right knee inflammation.

Estrada gave up a run and took the loss during his last appearance Tuesday, and he seems to have come away from the outing with a knee issue. Manager Craig Stammen said Friday that he doesn't expect the right-hander's injury to linger, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, so he could be cleared to return when first eligible. In the meantime, David Morgan will come up from Triple-A El Paso to round out San Diego's bullpen.

Helsley (elbow) could start a rehab assignment as early as Monday, MLB.com reports.

Helsley threw a bullpen session ahead of Friday's series opener in Toronto. If all continues go well in his recovery from right elbow inflammation, the hard-throwing right-hander appears to be on track for a mid-June return to Baltimore's bullpen. Until Helsley is back in the fold, the Orioles should continue to deploy Rico Garcia as their primary closer.

The Angels designated Anderson for assignment Friday.

It's the second time this season that Anderson has been DFA'd by the Angels, with the first instance taking place in late April. He proceeded to ink a minor-league contract to return to the Angels and his contract was selected by the big club Wednesday, but he is being booted off the big club's 40-man roster again. The move corresponds with Los Angeles selecting Samy Natera's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Whitlock (knee) will embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Whitlock is ready to take the next step in his recovery from left knee inflammation that led to him being placed on the 15-day injured list in late May. Red Sox manager Chad Tracy relayed that how Whitlock's knee reacts following Saturday's Triple-A game will determine whether the right-hander will need just one rehab outing before being activated from the IL.

The Brewers recalled Fitzpatrick from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Fitzpatrick has turned in a 1.13 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 16 innings at Nashville, and he's also performed well when called upon by the Brewers, allowing just one earned run in 5.2 frames. He'll now rejoin the big-league bullpen alongside Craig Yoho to replace DL Hall (pectoral) and Jake Woodford.

The Brewers recalled Yoho from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

With DL Hall (pectoral) landing on the injured list and Jake Woodford departing the 40-man roster Friday, Yoho will return to the majors to help plug the holes in Milwaukee's bullpen. The 26-year-old has dominated Triple-A hitters since first reaching Nashville in 2024, posting a 1.14 ERA and 0.96 WHIP and a 100:33 K:BB across 79 combined innings. However, he gave up seven earned runs over 8.2 frames with the big club last season.

The Brewers designated Woodford for assignment Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Woodford helped save the bullpen by logging three innings in Thursday's loss to the Giants, but he gave up four runs in the outing and holds a 6.94 ERA on the season. The righty is likely to clear waivers, and he would have the ability to decline an outright assignment.

The Brewers placed Hall on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left pec strain, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Hall had to leave an appearance Thursday against the Giants due to the injury, and an MRI revealed a strain. The 27-year-old lefty is expected to miss roughly 4-to-6 weeks, per Hogg, which lines him up to return right around the All-Star break.
