Holman (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing due to a mild strain in his right middle finger, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Holman landed on the Athletics' 15-day injured list June 16 due to rotator cuff tendinitis in his right shoulder before being transferred to the 60-day IL in mid-July. He's eligible to be reinstated from the IL in mid-August, though his latest setback will likely delay the 25-year-old's return to the majors.

The Rays designated Waguespack (undisclosed) for assignment Friday.

Waguespack has been on the injured list at Triple-A Durham since June 9, and he'll yield his spot on the 40-man roster Friday as the Rays get Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) back from the 60-day IL. Waguespack logged a 0.46 ERA in 19.2 innings with Durham before sustaining the unspecified injury.

The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Though he made one start for the Giants in 2024, Beck has pitched exclusively in relief at the big-league level in 2025, logging a 5.68 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 19 innings over 10 appearances. Beck will provide the Giants with a fresh arm in the bullpen in the short term, and if goes unused Friday and Saturday, he could be a candidate to cover multiple innings or possibly make a spot start in Sunday's series finale versus the Mets. With Landen Roupp (elbow) going on the injured list Friday, the Giants now have two open spots in the rotation, as the team previously optioned Hayden Birdsong to Triple-A earlier in the week.

Leclerc (lat) will undergo shoulder surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Leclerc was diagnosed with a lat strain in April, which was initially labeled as shoulder soreness. There hadn't been any updates on his status since, but he'll be unable to return in 2025 after undergoing surgery. Leclerc appeared in just 10 games with the Athletics in 2025, posting a 6.00 ERA and an 8:5 K:BB over nine innings. It's unclear if his recovery will linger into the 2026 campaign.

Joyce said Friday that he underwent shoulder surgery in May to repair his labrum, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Joyce hasn't pitched since April 8 and has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 season. He said it remains to be seen if he'll be ready for the start of spring training next February. The hard-throwing right-hander produced a 6.23 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 1:1 K:BB across 4.1 innings of work prior to being shut down with the injury earlier this season.

Hodge (shoulder) is slated to pitch for Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Hodge has been on the shelf since July 9 due to a right shoulder impingement, but he's been cleared to start a rehab assignment. It's unclear how many rehab appearances he'll require, but Hodge should rejoin the Cubs in the near future.

The Padres recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

With Marinaccio joining the big club, Kyle Hart has been optioned to Triple-A. Marinaccio was briefly with the Padres earlier this month but didn't appear in a game. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2024. Marinaccio owns a 5.06 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 39:14 K:BB across 37.1 innings of work with El Paso this season.

Leiter (leg) is throwing a bullpen session Friday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Leiter will throw off a mound for the first time since being placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left fibular head stress fracture. The 34-year-old has appeared in 41 games this season, logging a 4.46 ERA in 34.1 innings. He should be back sometime in early August.

The Mets transferred Kranick (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Kranick is set to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow. He pitched in 24 games out of the bullpen for the Mets this season, logging a 3.65 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB across 37 innings. Kranick could end up missing most of the 2026 campaign.

The Mets optioned Carrillo to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Carrillo made his MLB debut earlier this month and pitched in three total games after he was recalled, turning in a 13.50 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 4:2 K:BB across 4.2 innings of relief. Jose Castillo had his contract selected and will take Carrillo's spot in the bullpen.
