The Yankees placed Leiter on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left fibular head stress fracture.

Per Max Goodman of NJ.com, Leiter felt a pop in his left leg when he was running to cover first base in a game versus the Reds back on June 24. He had made four appearances since then, but testing revealed the stress fracture. It's not clear how long Leiter might be out, but it's likely to be longer than a minimum stay on the IL.

Zastryzny (ribs) hopes to resume throwing Wednesday and return to the Brewers' active roster in late July, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Zastryzny has been out for all of July with a ribs stress reaction. He will likely require a rehab assignment before being activated.

Suarez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session later this week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It will be his first time throwing from the bump since going down with a right shoulder strain in late March. Suarez is hoping to contribute to the Orioles at some point after the All-Star break, but he still has numerous boxes to check.

The Red Sox transferred Hendriks (hip) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Hendriks recently suffered a setback with his right hip injury and is seeking a second opinion. He's been out since late May and now won't be eligible for activation until late July. The move frees a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Isaiah Campbell.

The Red Sox selected Campbell's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

Campbell holds a 3.89 ERA and 33:11 K:BB over 39.1 frames this season with Worcester. The 27-year-old will give Boston a fresh bullpen arm.

The Dodgers are expected to call up Diaz from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The former Reds closer was acquired by the Dodgers in late May and has made just six appearances for Oklahoma City since being traded, giving up five earned runs with a 3:7 K:BB over 4.2 innings. Diaz should fill a low-leverage role early on for the Dodgers but could work his way into higher-leverage spots. However, the 28-year-old's recent body of work at Triple-A doesn't provide much evidence that he's rediscovered his All-Star form.

The Mets designated Pop for assignment on Tuesday.

The right-hander inked a major-league contract with New York at the start of July after being cut loose by Seattle, but the Mets also decided to move on after just one appearance. Pop gave up three runs over 1.1 innings during his brief time in Queens and has surrendered 11 earned runs across 6.2 frames overall in the majors this year.

The Mets signed Fernandez to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Fernandez had been at Triple-A Omaha in the Royals organization, where he held a 4.93 ERA and 53:26 K:BB over 38.1 frames. The 28-year-old hasn't seen any action at the big-league level since 2022 but will give the Mets some experienced relief depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

The Rays recalled Seymour from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Seymour received his first taste of the majors in June and was sent back to Durham after covering two scoreless frames in his big-league debut. The left-hander has a 2.62 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 104:20 K:BB across 86 innings as a starter at Triple-A this season, though he's likely to work out of the bullpen while up with Tampa Bay.

The Rays optioned Gervase to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Gervase made five relief appearances during his time on the Rays' active roster, permitting three runs on three solo home runs across 6.1 innings. Tampa Bay recalled Ian Seymour from Triple-A to replace Gervase in the bullpen.
