Colorado placed Carasiti on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation.

Carasiti has struggled to a 7.06 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB in 21.2 innings this season out of the Rockies' bullpen. He'll be sidelined through the All-Star break at the very least.

Colorado selected Blach's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Blach made the Rockies' Opening Day bullpen this spring but was cut loose before the end of April after allowing 13 runs -- 10 earned -- over 11 innings. He'll get another shot in a low-leverage role.

Green (elbow) is scheduled to throw another round of live batting practice Saturday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Now more than 12 months removed from Tommy John surgery, Green would appear to be close to embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment and might be able to make his Blue Jays debut before the end of July. The 32-year-old reliever signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with Toronto in January.

Hudson (knee) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Friday's contest against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hudson has struggled with multiple setbacks as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered last June, forcing him to remain on the sidelines for the whole 2023 campaign to this point, but he now appears ready to rejoin LA's bullpen. The right-hander produced a 2.22 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 30 strikeouts, nine holds and five saves over 24.1 innings in 25 appearances with the Dodgers in 2022 and will likely return to a high-leverage role once he's up to speed.

Oakland activated Snead (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Finally recovered from the shoulder strain he suffered back at the beginning of spring training, Snead will join the Athletics' bullpen ahead of Friday night's series opener against the White Sox. He allowed seven earned runs over seven innings on a not-so-encouraging minor-league rehab assignment, but the A's badly need fresh relief arms.

Tate (forearm/elbow) is getting a second opinion Friday on his right elbow, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Tate was able to restart a minor-league rehab assignment earlier this month, but he's hit yet another snag in his recovery from ongoing elbow and forearm issues. The 29-year-old has not appeared in a major-league game this season and has no projectable timeline for his 2023 debut.

Mederos will be called up by the Angels prior to Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.

The 22-year-old right-hander has just a 5.98 ERA in 12 starts this season with Double-A Rocket City, although it's worth noting that he's used the pre-tacked balls many pitchers in the Southern League have had issues with, and Mederos has fanned 71 over 55.2 innings for the Trash Pandas. It's not clear at this point whether the plan is to use him as a reliever or starter. He'll be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Garcia has made three appearances in the majors this season, yielding five runs over three innings. The 29-year-old will give the Athletics a fresh arm after the team's pitching staff allowed double-digit runs in back-to-back games and needed 8.2 total innings from the bullpen.

The Royals optioned McArthur to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

McArthur made his MLB debut Wednesday, surrendering seven runs on six hits and a walk over just one inning. He'll now return to the minors to make room for Alec Marsh, who will be filling in as the Royals' starter Friday in place of Jordan Lyles (illness).

Edwards (shoulder) resumed throwing earlier this week, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Edwards underwent an MRI last Wednesday, shortly after landing on the injured list, and it confirmed the initial diagnosis of right shoulder inflammation. If all goes well with his side work, he might be an option again for the Nationals' bullpen coming out of the All-Star break.
