  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Padres' Sean Manaea: Takes loss in ugly outing

    Manaea (5-5) allowed nine runs (four earned) on eight hits and a walk over 3.1 frames Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Tigers.

    Manaea turned in a pair of scoreless frames before coughing up five runs in the third inning, including a grand slam by Eric Haase. The 30-year-old lefty was tagged with four more runs in the fourth, including a leadoff shot by Jeimer Candelario. It was the fourth time this year that Manaea's given up two homers in a start and the first time since June 14. His ERA is up to 4.33 with a 104:39 through 18 appearances. Manaea is lined up to face the Twins at home this weekend.

  • Zach Pop RP | PHI

    Marlins' Zach Pop: Exits with injury

    Pop left Monday's game against the Reds with an undisclosed injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The nature of Pop's injury is unclear at this time, and he'll be labeled day-to-day until more information comes to light.

  • Danny Coulombe RP | BOS

    Twins' Danny Coulombe: Moved to 60-day IL

    Coulombe (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Coulombe has already been on the injured list since the end of May, so it won't impact his return date. Miguel Sano (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and will take Coulombe's spot on the 40-man roster.

  • Jake Cousins RP | LAD

    Brewers' Jake Cousins: Ready for rehab assignment

    Cousins (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    An elbow injury has kept Cousins out of action since the final day in April, but he has seemingly reached the final stage of his recovery. He will pitch Tuesday in the Arizona Complex League, and if all goes well will then advance to Triple-A Nashville.

  • Kirby Yates RP | PIT

    Braves' Kirby Yates: Shifting rehab to Triple-A

    Yates (elbow) will make his next rehab appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Yates' last two rehab outings took place at Double-A Mississippi, and he's yet to surrender a run while on his current stint. "Everything's going really, really good right now," stated manager Brian Snitker, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Braves have yet to reveal a concrete timetable for the reliever's return, though it seems likely he'll need just a few more appearances in the minors before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

  • Garrett Hill RP | DET

    Tigers' Garrett Hill: Officially called up

    Hill was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

    Hill was optioned to Toledo on Thursday but will rejoin the Tigers' rotation as the starter for Tuesday's game against the Padres after Rony Garcia (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Hill has made three starts for the Tigers this year, posting a 5.63 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 16 innings.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Yankees' Michael King: Could need Tommy John surgery

    King will undergo surgery on his fractured right elbow, and it's possible that he may also need Tommy John surgery, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    It was a foregone conclusion that King would need surgery for the fracture when the diagnosis was revealed Friday, but the possibility of Tommy John surgery could make the injury even more devastating for the right-handed hurler and the organization. Should the issue be limited to the fracture, King could be back in time for spring training next season, but Tommy John would knock him out for a vast majority (if not all) of 2023. The Yankees may have a tough time replacing him in the bullpen, as he had posted a 2.29 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 66:16 K:BB over 51 innings while picking up 16 holds, one save and three wins prior to the injury.

  • Evan Phillips RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Evan Phillips: Nets another win Sunday

    Phillips (5-3) earned the win over San Francisco on Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

    The game was tied through six frames, and Phillips was brought in to handle the seventh. He allowed an inning-opening single but retired the next three batters to emerge unscathed. Phillips then found himself in line for the win as a result of the Dodgers scoring three times in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander continues to be a dominant presence in the team's bullpen -- since allowing two runs in his first appearance of the campaign, Phillips has posted a 1.18 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB over 38 innings while notching five wins, 11 holds and one save.

  • Garrett Hill RP | DET

    Tigers' Garrett Hill: Rejoining rotation

    Hill will be called up from Triple-A Toledo to start Tuesday's game against the Padres, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    The Tigers may wait until Tuesday to make the transaction official, but the rookie will be rejoining the rotation as a replacement for Rony Garcia (biceps), who will be placed on the 15-day injured list within the next two days. Hill has previously made three starts for the Tigers, with his most recent outing coming in a doubleheader against the White Sox last week when Detroit kicked off its second-half schedule. Over 16 big-league innings, Hill has recorded a 5.63 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB.

  • Connor Sadzeck RP | MIN

    Brewers' Connor Sadzeck: Designated for assignment

    Sadzeck was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday.

    Sadzeck was called up July 13 and appeared in two games, surrendering three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings. He will now either report to Triple-A Nashville, get claimed by another team or be released outright, the first of which seems most likely. Ethan Small was called up from Nashville on Monday to replace Sadzeck on the active roster.
