Mize (3-5) earned the win Monday against the Yankees, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in seven innings. He struck out 10.

After giving up a season-worst eight hits his last time out against the Yankees, Mize bounced back in a huge way during Monday's rematch. The 29-year-old right-hander fanned a season-high 10 in his longest outing of the year, also surrendering a season-low one hit on the evening. Mize will be looking to build on Monday's showing this weekend in Texas, where he'll take an outstanding 2.63 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 68:14 K:BB across 65 innings.

Yesavage (4-3) earned the win Monday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out three.

Yesavage had a hard time finding the zone, matching a season low in punchouts while tossing just 57 of his 94 offerings for strikes, but he hung in there for a strong outing overall. The 22-year-old right-hander remains incredibly difficult to hit, giving up fewer than six knocks in each of his first 12 starts for a .185 opponent batting average. Yesavage is slated to finish a two-start week this weekend in Seattle, where he'll bring a 3.34 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 61:30 K:BB over 67.1 innings.

Tiger (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list June 21.

Tiger worked his way to a 2.70 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with a 14:2 K:BB across 6.2 frames in the Arizona Complex League while working his way back from a setback that popped up after undergoing an internal brace procedure in September of 2024. He's made two appearances at High-A Hub City since being activated, surrendering four runs on six hits and striking out six over 3.2 innings.

Gomez (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list June 20.

Gomez missed nearly two months of action while on the mend from a right shoulder strain. He's made two appearances for Triple-A Columbus since being activated, surrendering two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out 14 over eight innings.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Scherzer (back/side) played catch Monday and could throw a bullpen session as soon as Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Scherzer threw a bullpen session as recently as last Monday, but the Blue Jays briefly shut him down a few days later after he experienced left side discomfort that was seemingly related to the back spasms that forced him to the injured list June 17. The right-hander received a cortisone shot Friday and has responded well to the injection, so he'll start the process of getting stretched back out. Scherzer could have a realistic shot at returning to the Toronto rotation at some point next week if he avoids any further setbacks while building up.

The Athletics recalled Morris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Morris was rocked for nine runs over four-plus innings in his major-league debut earlier this month. The 24-year-old appears set to work in long relief during his upcoming stint with the big club.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Fried (elbow) will throw a two-inning simulated game Tuesday, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

The Yankees are targeting Fried for around 30 pitches while he takes the mound and faces hitters for the first time since landing on the 15-day injured list May 16 due to a left elbow bone bruise. Fried doesn't look like he'll have enough time to get fully stretched out before the All-Star break, but a late-July return from the IL could be in play if he steers clear of any setbacks as he builds up his pitch count via sim games and/or minor-league rehab starts.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Monday that Montero will move to the bullpen for the time being, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Montero did nothing to lose his spot, as he tossed seven shutout innings versus the Astros his last time out and holds a 3.34 ERA in 15 starts this season. However, Jack Flaherty returned from the injured list over the weekend, and the Tigers will roll with a five-man rotation for now. Montero should eventually be asked to make more starts, but for now he'll likely be used in long relief.

White Sox manager Will Venable told reporters Monday that Schultz (knee) is on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Orioles, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Schultz made three starts during his rehab assignment, with his last taking place Friday with Triple-A Charlotte, when he tossed 74 pitches (52 strikes) while allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven across 4.2 innings. The 22-year-old southpaw has progressed enough in his recovery from right knee tendinitis to return to the majors Wednesday and will look to improve on his stat line of a 5.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33:22 K:BB across 38.2 innings.

The Rangers signed Paddack to a one-year contract Monday.

Paddack is expected to make his Rangers debut Monday in Cleveland as the bulk reliever following opener Tyler Alexander, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. The right-hander has gone 0-7 with a 6.96 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB in 53 innings over his 13 appearances (nine starts) between the Marlins and Reds this season.
