  • Chad Dallas RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chad Dallas: Back in majors

    The Blue Jays recalled Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

    Dallas conceded one earned run in 3.2 innings during his MLB debut June 4 and has since given up just one run in 13.2 frames at Triple-A. His strong performance will now buy him another look in the majors, presumably as a long-relief option. Yohendrick Pinango was optioned to Buffalo in a corresponding move.

  • Jared Shuster RP | STL

    Cardinals' Jared Shuster: Selected from Triple-A

    The Cardinals selected Shuster's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

    Since his last appearance in the big leagues May 6, Shuster has turned in a 9.00 ERA and 2.39 WHIP alongside a 16:14 K:BB across 18 innings with Memphis. Despite his poor performance, he'll return to the Cardinals' bullpen to give the big club a fresh arm for the second game of its doubleheader against Milwaukee. Bruce Zimmermann was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Brad Keller RP | PHI

    Phillies' Brad Keller: Returning Wednesday

    The Phillies plan to reinstate Keller (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Keller made two rehab appearances with Triple-A Lehigh Valley over the weekend, and the Phillies will give him two days to rest up before activating him from the IL. The right-hander has recoded three saves and 13 holds with a 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB across 30.1 innings this year.

  • Bennett Sousa RP | HOU

    Astros' Bennett Sousa: Starts up rehab assignment

    Sousa (elbow) struck out one over a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Sousa has been on the injured list since May 9 due to left elbow inflammation and will likely need to make multiple rehab appearances before the Astros are comfortable activating him. Before hitting the shelf, the southpaw reliever posted an 8.10 ERA and 2.40 WHIP in 3.1 innings over five appearances for Houston.

  • Cionel Perez RP | NYM

    Mets' Cionel Perez: Serving as opener Tuesday

    Perez will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher Tuesday against the Royals.

    After recording four outs in a 16-pitch appearance in Monday's 7-6 win, Perez will likely be capped at an inning or two in his start before turning the game over to the bullpen. Kodai Senga will be available on three days' rest and could be a candidate to cover multiple innings in long relief once Perez exits the game.

  • Alek Jacob RP | SD

    Padres' Alek Jacob: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Jacob has had three separate stints with the big club this season, allowing three runs with a 6:2 K:BB over five innings. His spot on the roster is being taken by Jhony Brito, who will be the Padres' bulk reliever in Tuesday's contest versus the Diamondbacks.

  • Astros' Hayden Wesneski: Hits four frames in rehab start

    Wesneski (elbow) struck out three and allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk across four innings Sunday in a rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi. He also hit a batter and threw two wild pitches.

    After tossing three shutout innings in his first rehab start in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on June 30, Wesneski jumped up a few rungs on the minor-league ladder for his second outing. Wesneski -- who is on the comeback trail after undergoing Tommy John surgery last May -- built up to 46 pitches (29 strikes) in Sunday's appearance, generating seven whiffs along the way. The right-hander will likely need to make two or three more rehab starts before coming off the 60-day injured list, but he may not have a rotation spot with the big club waiting for him once he's activated.

  • Ryne Stanek RP | STL

    Cardinals' Ryne Stanek: Departs with injury

    Stanek was removed from Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers due to an apparent leg injury, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    The right-hander was able to avoid a major collision at first base between Joey Ortiz and Bryan Torres as Ortiz beat out a bunt single, but Stanek appeared to jam his leg into the ground while attempting to slide into the bag. The specifics of the injury aren't clear, but 34-year-old is unlikely to be available for Tuesday's nightcap as he's evaluated.

  • Alimber Santa RP | HOU

    Astros' Alimber Santa: Up in majors

    The Astros recalled Santa from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    It's a well-deserved return to the big leagues for Santa, who posted a 0.71 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 12.2 frames in his first taste of the majors earlier this year. He should fill a low-leverage relief role while up with Houston.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Nearing throwing program

    The White Sox announced Saturday that Berroa (elbow) will start throwing again in 1-to-2 weeks, MLB.com reports.

    After recovering from his March 7, 2025 Tommy John surgery, Berroa began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 13 but threw just four pitches in that appearance before being shut down due to right elbow inflammation. The 26-year-old has seemingly responded well to treating the injury with rest and rehab over the past two months and will soon begin ramping up his throwing. Berroa is unlikely to be an option for the White Sox bullpen until August.
