  • Jose De Leon RP | BOS

    Twins' Jose De Leon: Will be placed on injured list

    De Leon (elbow) told reporters after Saturday's game he will be placed on the 15-day injured list, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    De Leon will also undergo an MRI on his elbow, but he told reporters that he immediately knew there was something wrong and felt an "electric shock" while throwing a warm-up pitch. The Twins will likely place him on the injured list prior to Sunday's game against Detroit, likely alongside a corresponding roster move.

  • Alex Lange RP | KC

    Tigers' Alex Lange: Converts four-out save

    Lange walked one and struck out four over 1.1 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Twins.

    Lange's had some uneven results in June, but he was at his best Saturday. The right-hander has surrendered three runs over his last five appearances, all of which came in a sloppy outing versus the Twins on June 18. Lange's now at a 3.82 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 42:17 K:BB while converting 12 of 14 save chances over 30.2 innings this season. He permits too many baserunners to be a dominant closer, but he's held his own fairly well in 2023.

    Twins' Jose De Leon: Leaves with injury

    De Leon left Saturday's game versus Detroit with an apparent injury, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    De Leon picked up the injury while warming up, and immediately ran off the mound. The right-hander will likely undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury.

  • Robert Suarez RP | ATL

    Padres' Robert Suarez: Could face hitters soon

    Suarez (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday and could face hitters "imminently," AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Suarez has yet to play this season after experiencing arm stiffness and elbow inflammation in mid-March during spring training. However, he's tossed multiple bullpens over the past few weeks and now appears set to take the next step in his recovery. Suarez will almost certainly require a minor-league rehab stint before joining the San Diego bullpen, but he could return in the first half of July.

  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Royals' Ryan Yarbrough: Fires four scoreless in rehab

    Yarbrough (head) threw four scoreless innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday. He allowed four hits with three strikeouts.

    It was the first Triple-A rehab start for Yarbrough since the left-hander suffered multiple fractures in head after being hit by a comebacker in the early portion of May. The 31-year-old is currently on the 60-day injured list and won't be eligible to return until July 8 at the earliest. Yarbrough will likely make at least three more rehab outing before having a chance to return to the Kansas City pitching staff around the All-Star break.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Exits due to feeling light-headed

    Munoz left Saturday's game versus the Orioles because he felt light-headed, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters after the extra-inning loss to Baltimore that Munoz was checked out by doctors at the park, and that he thinks he'll be fine. The hard-throwing reliever should be considered day-to-day at this stage.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Exits with knee discomfort

    Garcia left Saturday's relief appearance against the Athletics with discomfort in his right knee, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters that the injury is one that has been bothering Garcia for a while, but he doesn't consider the injury serious and he doesn't believe Garcia will need to be placed on the injured list. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day, but he might miss a game or two while he recovers even if he doesn't hit the IL.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Exits with apparent injury

    Garcia left Saturday's game versus the Athletics with an apparent injury, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

    Garcia picked up two outs before he was forced to leave the game. Jordan Romano has taken over on the mound. For now, Garcia should be considered day-to-day with further updates likely before Sunday's finale against the A's.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Leaves with apparent injury

    Munoz left Saturday's relief appearance against the Orioles with an apparent injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Munoz exited his appearance with manager Scott Servais and a team trainer. The right-hander has been replaced on the mound by Ty Adcock. There should be an update on Munoz's status before the end of Saturday's contest, but for now he should be considered day-to-day.

  • Luke Jackson RP | SEA

    Giants' Luke Jackson: Battling lower-back tightness

    Jackson was pulled from his appearance Saturday due to lower-back tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    The severity of Jackson's injury remains unknown, but now we know for sure that it's not related to the elbow he had Tommy John surgery on last season. The 31-year-old reliever holds a 2.16 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through 8.1 innings since returning from the injured list May 31.
