MLB Player News

Taylor exited Friday's game against the Royals with an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

His velocity was down a tick on his first two fastballs and Martin Maldonado stopped play and summoned the trainers from the dugout. The team may conduct some tests after the game before providing a diagnosis.

Hernandez allowed eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings out of the bullpen in Friday's loss to the Giants. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

Hernandez entered the game in the second inning after Richard Bleier served as the opener. He quickly gave up four runs in the frame, including a three-run homer from Mike Yastrzemski. The 27-year-old then allowed a home run in each of the third, fifth and sixth innings. Hernandez now owns an unsightly 6.75 ERA through 48 innings this season. He's currently projected to face the Nationals at home next week but it's unclear if Miami will give him another turn in the rotation.

Treinen (shoulder) played catch Friday at light intensity, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

This is the first time he has thrown since injuring his shoulder in mid-April. The session only lasted about five minutes but he came out feeling good and is going to continue with a throwing progression.

Rolison (shoulder) will undergo surgery in the coming weeks, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Rolison had been sidelined with a shoulder injury since the end of spring training, and the Rockies said this week that he hadn't made as much progress in his recovery as the team had hoped. After visiting with a specialist, the southpaw will undergo a procedure that will likely force him to miss the rest of the season. Rolison hasn't yet made his major-league debut, but it's possible that he'll join Colorado in 2023 as long as he's back to full health.

Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Strzelecki made his major-league debut Thursday against the Padres, and he allowed a run on two hits and two walks while striking out three in two relief innings to earn the win. However, the 27-year-old will head back to the minors after Luke Barker was recalled Friday.

Kilian will start Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The top pitching prospect in the organization, Kilian's arrival in the majors had been expected this summer. He has a 2.20 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB in 32.2 innings over his last seven starts at Triple-A. It took him a few starts to establish the mid-90s fastball velocity he finished last year's Arizona Fall League with en route to MVP honors of the championship game. If Kilian performs well in Saturday's start, he could be up for good.

Hamilton's contract was purchased from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Hamilton had a 0.71 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 12.2 innings through 10 appearances at Triple-A. He may only be up for this weekend's series in Toronto while three Twins relievers are on the restricted list.

Manager Kevin Cash indicated that Kittredge (back) will make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Kittredge won't be quite ready for activation from the IL when first eligible Friday, but he indicated earlier in the process that he may only need a rehab appearance or two, so his return to the bullpen may not be too far off. He should move back into a high-leverage role once he's cleared to return, especially given that J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day IL on Friday.

Krehbiel was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Friday.

Krehbiel was removed from Thursday's game against the Mariners due to a shoulder issue, and he'll miss at least two weeks after being diagnosed with inflammation. Nick Vespi was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to provide additional depth in Baltimore's bullpen.

Graveman (not injury related) was reinstated from the restricted list Friday.

Graveman was unavailable for the White Sox's three-game series in Toronto since he's unvaccinated against COVID-19, but he'll rejoin the bullpen ahead of the team's weekend series in Tampa Bay. Over his last five appearances, he's allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out one in 4.1 innings.
