Bailey Ober SP | MIN
Twins' Bailey Ober: Clobbered again
Ober (4-5) took the loss in Monday's game against Seattle, allowing seven runs on seven hits and no walks over seven innings with seven strikeouts.
Ober's ugly June continues, as he's now allowed four or more earned runs in each of his four outings this month. Across 24.1 June innings, he's pitched to a horrid 8.51 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB while yielding 10 long balls, including three in this performance against the Mariners. The Minnesota right-hander began the month with a respectable 3.48 ERA but now sports a 4.90 mark through 86.1 total frames. Assuming he continues to stick in the rotation, Ober currently lines up to make his next start at Detroit this weekend.

Trevor Rogers SP | BAL
Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Twirls gem for victory
Rogers (1-0) allowed three hits over eight shutout frames Monday, striking out four and earning a win over the Rangers.
Rogers was outstanding Monday, sprinkling three singles across eight scoreless frames. He let only one runner reach scoring position and had a string of 14 consecutive batters retired. Rogers was efficient, with 72 of his 101 pitches being strikes. He's struggled with his command throughout his career but has walked just three batters through 16.2 MLB innings this season. Rogers owns a 1.62 ERA and likely earned himself another turn in the rotation, which is lined up to be this weekend at home against the Rays.

Joey Estes SP | ATH
Athletics' Joey Estes: Back in action
Estes (undisclosed) allowed one walk and struck out three over three innings Saturday against Triple-A Sugar Land.
Estes missed five weeks while dealing with an unspecified injury, but he looked incredibly sharp in his return. He's posted an impressive 2.86 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with a 20:7 K:BB over his last five starts for the Aviators.

Nick Nastrini SP | LAD
White Sox's Nick Nastrini: Shelved at Triple-A
Triple-A Charlotte placed Nastrini on the 7-day injured list Thursday due to an unspecified injury.
Nastrini made eight starts for the White Sox as a rookie in 2024, and though he still has a spot on the organization's 40-man roster, he's pitched exclusively in the minors in 2025. The right-hander posted a 7.24 ERA through his first seven outings of the season at Charlotte and hadn't displayed much improvement since shifting to the bullpen in early May. Nastrini had turned in a 5.94 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB in 16.2 innings over his last 11 appearances prior to landing on the shelf.

Cade Povich SP | BAL
Orioles' Cade Povich: Nearing rehab assignment
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Monday that Povich (hip) will begin a rehab assignment soon, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The specific day and affiliate are not yet known, but Povich is nearly ready to pitch in a game after being placed on the 15-day injured list a week ago with left hip inflammation. Povich is eligible to be activated July 1, and he has a good chance to be ready to go by that day if his upcoming rehab appearance goes smoothly.

Jonathan Cannon P | CHW
White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Ready for rehab assignment
Cannon (back) has been sent to Triple-A Charlotte to begin a rehab assignment, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
Cannon expects to require just 1-to-2 rehab starts with Charlotte before rejoining the White Sox's rotation. The right-hander has been sidelined for the entirety of June with a lower-back strain.

Allan Winans SP | NYY
Yankees' Allan Winans: Recalled ahead of Monday's start
The Yankees recalled Winans from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
Winans will start Monday's game in Cincinnati, filling in for the injured Ryan Yarbrough (oblique). He earned the promotion after collecting a impressive 0.90 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 59:13 K:BB over 50 innings at Triple-A. With Marcus Stroman (knee) nearing a return from the injured list, Winans may be in line for just one start with the Yankees.

Kyle Wright SP | CHC
Royals' Kyle Wright: Activated and optioned
The Royals activated Wright (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Omaha.
Wright appears to be back to full health, but the Royals were unwilling to clear a spot for him on the 26-man active roster after he turned in a 5.48 ERA and 21:14 K:BB over 23 innings across eight rehab starts between Omaha and Double-A Northwest Arkansas. The right-hander hasn't pitched at the big-league level since undergoing right shoulder surgery in October 2023. He covered three innings in his most recent outing for Omaha on Saturday, and Wright could continue to get stretched out as a starter while he sticks around at Triple-A.

Connor Gillispie SP | PHI
Twins' Connor Gillispie: Claimed by Minnesota
The Twins claimed Gillispie off waivers from the Marlins on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
The 27-year-old has made six starts for the Marlins this season, posting an 8.65 ERA and 23:11 K:BB over 26 frames. Gillispie has experience as a starter and reliever, though it's not clear what role the Twins have planned for him. In any case, he'll provide some experienced pitching depth at St. Paul.

Michael Forret SP | TB
Orioles' Michael Forret: Thriving since IL return
Forret (back) has allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out 14 batters over 12 innings in his four starts for High-A Aberdeen since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list June 4.
The 21-year-old right-hander missed all of May due to a back issue, but he's quickly returned to form since being activated from the IL. Over nine total starts with Aberdeen this season, Forret owns a 1.34 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 43:10 K:BB in 33.2 innings. Forret may not be far away from earning a promotion to Double-A Chesapeake.
