MLB Player News

Young will start Tuesday's game against the Mets at Camden Yards, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

After making what was expected to be a spot start for the Orioles on June 25 and subsequently getting optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, Young was recalled just a few days later when a rotation spot opened up with Zach Eflin's (back) move to the injured list. In his fourth start of the season for Baltimore last Tuesday in Texas, Young lasted just four innings and was dealt a loss after giving up three earned runs on six hits and two walks. Though he looks poised to stick around in the rotation until one of Eflin or Cade Povich (hip) returns from the injured list, Young doesn't profile as a reliable streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues. The 26-year-old righty will head into Tuesday's start with an 0-3 record, 7.02 ERA and 1.98 WHIP through his first 16.2 big-league innings.

Evans is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Yankees in New York, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Evans will be making his second straight turn through the Seattle rotation after he was summoned from Triple-A Tacoma last week to replace the struggling Emerson Hancock, who was demoted to the minors. In his first big-league appearance since June 10 this past Thursday, Evans took a no-decision in the Mariners' 3-2 loss to the Royals while striking out three over 5.2 shutout innings. Evans owns a mediocre 17.4 percent strikeout rate over eight starts with Seattle this season, but he's thus far pitched to a 2.96 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 45.2 innings. Provided he can avoid any major blowups in future starts, the rookie right-hander should hold down a spot in the Seattle rotation until Bryce Miller (elbow) is ready to return from the injured list.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Gil (lat) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Sunday.

Boone didn't reveal which affiliate Gil might join for his rehab assignment, but the right-hander has been facing hitters recently and is ready to take the next step in the recovery process. Gil will be built up as a starter, and the expectation is that if all goes well during his rehab assignment, he will rejoin the Yankees rotation before the end of July. The 27-year-old has been out all season due to a right lat strain.

The Rays sent McClanahan (triceps) to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

McClanahan has been ramping up his throwing progression and is finally ready to test himself in a game setting for the first time since going down with a nerve issue in his pitching arm during spring training. The left-hander will need several rehab starts to rebuild his stamina and is likely eyeing early August for his return from the 60-day injured list.

Schlittler will be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game against the Mariners at Yankee Stadium, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

The 24-year-old right-hander will be making his MLB debut Wednesday as a replacement in the the rotation for Clarke Schmidt (forearm), who is expected to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. Allan Winans was called up from Triple-A the last time the Yankees needed a fill-in starter June 23 versus the Reds, but because he hasn't spent the requisite 15 days in the minors since getting optioned, Schlittler will be summoned to fill the void in the rotation. If he's able to deliver a serviceable outing in his big-league debut, Schlittler will have a case for sticking around in the New York rotation on a more permanent basis coming out of the All-Star break. Between stops with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset this season, Schlittler owns a 2.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 99:26 K:BB over 76.2 innings.

Francis (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Monday at the Blue Jays' complex in Dunedin, Fla., Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Francis landed on the 15-day injured list in mid-June due to a shoulder impingement and received a cortisone shot to relieve the discomfort. He's only recently began to ramp up the intensity of his throwing program, with Monday's bullpen session marking the first time he's stepped back on a mound since suffering the injury. He could be ready to begin a rehab assignment after the All-Star break, but the Blue Jays haven't yet offered up a clear timeline for his return from the IL.

Bibee did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk over 4.2 innings against the Astros. He struck out three.

The right-hander cruised through four innings Monday before a three-run homer by Taylor Trammell and a solo shot from Isaac Paredes tied the game and chased him with two outs in the fifth. Bibee has hit a rough patch over his last eight starts dating back to May 27, recording a 5.36 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 45.1 innings during that span. While still serviceable, his overall season numbers -- a 4.35 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 103.1 innings across 18 starts -- mark a step back from his 2024 campaign, when he posted a 3.47 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 173.2 innings in 31 outings.

Burke (4-8) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over five-plus innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

The right-hander allowed three runs over the first five innings before running into major trouble in the sixth inning, when Bo Bichette, Addison Barger and Alejandro Kirk helped break the game open and derail his final line. Burke has been used as a starter, swingman and bulk reliever this season, showing flashes in each role but struggling to find consistency. Through 18 appearances, he owns a 4.40 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 92 innings.

Berrios (5-3) earned the win Monday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over six innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.

Berrios was effective Monday, limiting baserunners and working efficiently despite not recording many strikeouts, needing just 76 pitches to get through his outing. The right-hander has been boom-or-bust lately, allowing six earned runs in two of his past eight starts but one or fewer in the other six, resulting in a 2.61 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 48.1 innings during that span. On the season, the 31-year-old holds a 3.53 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 112.1 innings in 19 starts.

DeGrom completed five innings against the Angels on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters.

DeGrom gave up three runs over his first two frames and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third. He settled down after that and retired seven of the final eight batters he faced, but the early struggles resulted in an elevated pitch count, and deGrom was pulled after having thrown 95 pitches over five innings. Though the right-hander's 14-game streak of allowing two or fewer runs came to an end, he extended his streak of starts without a loss to seven. DeGrom was an easy choice for an All-Star berth, as he's compiled a 2.29 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 105:23 K:BB over 106.1 innings. He's scheduled for one more start before that exhibition contest, slated for this weekend in Houston.
