MLB Player News

Herrin was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins after getting hit on the elbow by a comebacker, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Herrin was replaced on the mound immediately after taking an 89.4-mph line drive off his left (throwing) elbow in the sixth inning. He'll likely be sent in for X-rays to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and an update on his status should come in the near future.

An MRI on Warren's right forearm revealed no ligament damage Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Warren landed on the injured list Wednesday with a right forearm strain, but the imaging results confirm he won't need to go under the knife to address the injury. He remains without an official return timeline, but he will most likely be out longer than the 15-day minimum.

Iglesias earned the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Pirates, allowing one walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

After giving up four runs in his last two appearances, including three in his first blown save of the season Monday, Iglesias rebounded with a strong effort against the Pirates, working around a two-out walk to lock down his 18th save. Overall, Iglesias sports a 2.30 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 31.1 innings this year.

The Phillies optioned Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old righty will be pushed back to Triple-A to make room for Brad Keller's (forearm) return from the injured list. Johnson made eight appearances with the Phillies after being called up June 18, and he surrendered six earned runs and posted a 10:7 K:BB in 7.2 innings while up in the majors. Although he carries a 7.15 ERA in the big leagues, he remains an option to return to Philadelphia later in the year if its bullpen depth is tested.

The Phillies reinstated Keller (forearm) from the injured list Wednesday.

Keller had been on the shelf since June 16 with right forearm tendinitis, but after making two rehab appearances at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, he's officially been cleared to return to Philadelphia's bullpen. The 30-year-old owns a 4.15 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 30.1 innings on the season and will likely slide back into a setup role now that he's fully healthy. Seth Johnson was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Phillies placed Trivino on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right thoracic muscle spasm.

Trivino will be eligible to return from the IL on July 22, though even if he's ready to go by then, it's unclear if the Phillies will have a spot available for him in their bullpen. The journeyman reliever was already dropped from the Orioles' 40-man roster earlier this season, and after the Phillies called him up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 30, Trivino proceeded to give up four runs on four hits and four walks over three innings in his three appearances before landing on the shelf.

The Twins placed Raya on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right shoulder impingement.

Raya tossed two scoreless frames during his most recent appearance Saturday, but he seems to have come out of that outing with a shoulder issue. The rookie reliever will be eligible to return from the IL in late July, but the nature of the injury suggests he could be in line for a longer absence.

The Cardinals designated Shuster for assignment Wednesday.

Shuster's latest stint in the majors lasted one day, and he was torched for seven runs over 1.1 frames in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers. The lefty has accepted two previous outright assignments from the Cardinals, so he could stick around in the organization again if he clears waivers.

Kelly was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester with a right elbow injury, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Kelly has made 17 appearances out of the Red Sox's bullpen this season, holding a 3.31 ERA and 14:7 K:BB over 16.1 innings. It's unclear how long he might be out, but Kelly won't be an option for the Red Sox in the immediate future.

The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Wednesday at Cincinnati in what's expected to be a bullpen game, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

Philadelphia optioned Rangel to Triple-A following his most recent start last Thursday against the Pirates, but he'll be back with the big club to fill the open spot in the rotation six days later after the Phillies placed Lou Trivino (back) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though the club is labeling Wednesday's contest as a bullpen day, Rangel should still be capable of providing the club with at least four or five innings since he'll be pitching on normal rest. Over his prior four appearances (one start) with the Phillies, Rangel turned in a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 16 innings.
