Colin Selby RP | BAL
Orioles' Colin Selby: Having shoulder evaluated
Selby was recently evaluated by Dr. Chris Looze in Baltimore due to ongoing symptoms with his injured right shoulder, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Selby has been out all season with right shoulder inflammation and seems to have made little-to-no progress. He is still in the process of discussing treatment options, but it's unclear whether surgery is being considered. Selby held a 3.21 ERA and 14:2 K:BB over 14 innings out of the Orioles' bullpen in 2025.

Gavin Collyer RP | TEX
Rangers' Gavin Collyer: Sent to Triple-A
The Rangers optioned Collyer to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
The right-hander threw 35 pitches in three innings across Sunday's and Monday's contests, so he'll be the odd man out of the bullpen with Chris Martin (biceps) coming off the injured list. Collyer has been an effective relief option for Texas this year with a 2.84 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB across 12.2 innings, so it should only be a matter of time before he's back in the big-league bullpen.

Chris Martin RP | TEX
Rangers' Chris Martin: Activated from injured list
The Rangers activated Martin (biceps) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Martin did not look sharp on his rehab assignment, allowing five runs on eight hits (including two home runs ) over 2.2 innings covering three appearances. Nevertheless, he's been cleared to rejoin the Rangers' bullpen after missing more than a month with a right biceps injury.

Codi Heuer RP | CLE
Guardians' Codi Heuer: Rejoins big club
The Guardians recalled Heuer from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
The right-hander was demoted to Columbus on Monday but will return to the big-league roster a day later with Peyton Pallette going on the paternity list. Heuer made his only MLB appearance of the season Sunday versus Cincinnati, giving up one run on three hits with two strikeouts and a walk over two innings.

Clay Holmes RP | NYM
Mets' Clay Holmes: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Mets transferred Holmes (fibula) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
The right-hander was recently shut down from all activities for 6-to-8 weeks due to a fractured right fibula, so it's hardly a surprise he's been moved to the 60-day IL. Holmes is expected to require about a month to build back up to game readiness once fully recovered, so he'll likely be sidelined until at least mid-August.

Anderson Severino RP | NYM
Mets' Anderson Severino: Optioned after contract selected
The Mets selected Severino's contract from Triple-A Syracuse and optioned him to Syracuse on Tuesday.
Severino likely had an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract, and the Mets have added him to the 40-man roster to prevent him from exercising it. He's posted a 1.04 ERA and 18:8 K:BB over 17.1 innings with Syracuse this season and could get a look the next time the Mets need a left-handed reliever.

Albert Suarez RP | BAL
Orioles' Albert Suarez: Back with big club
The Orioles selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Suarez will provide a much-needed fresh relief arm after the Orioles' bullpen had to cover 4.1 innings in Monday's blowout loss to the Rays. He's posted a 3.45 ERA and a 9:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings with Baltimore this season.

Justin Topa RP | MIN
Twins' Justin Topa: Designated for assignment
The Twins designated Topa for assignment Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Orlando Arcia. Topa is one of eight Twins relievers to notch a save this season, but he's been highly ineffective overall and particularly of late, yielding 12 runs across 5.1 innings in May. Given his $1.225 million salary, Topa is likely to pass through waivers unclaimed.

Tyler Alexander RP | TEX
Rangers' Tyler Alexander: Opening Tuesday's game
Alexander will serve as the Rangers' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The left-hander has plenty of big-league experience as a starter and will make his first start of 2026 on Tuesday. Alexander has been effective out of the bullpen this season with a 2.14 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB across 21 innings, but he shouldn't be expected to cover more than an inning or two in Colorado, given that he's yet to record more than seven outs in any appearance. Kumar Rocker is expected to follow Alexander as the Rangers' bulk reliever.
