  • Robby Snelling SP | MIA

    Marlins' Robby Snelling: More analysis on elbow next week

    Snelling will have his left elbow evaluated further by the medical staff next week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    The 22-year-old southpaw landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow, just five days after making his major-league debut against the Nationals. Once Snelling undergoes more tests on his left elbow, the Marlins should have a better idea of whether the young left-hander will need to undergo surgery.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Scratched from Friday's start

    Snell has been scratched from his scheduled start Friday against the Angels, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    There's no word yet on the reasoning behind the decision or when Snell might be ready to take the ball again, but the Dodgers should have more clarity on the southpaw's condition soon. The Dodgers are slated to go with a bullpen game Friday, with Will Klein likely to take the mound first.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: Sent to IL with elbow bone bruise

    The Yankees placed Fried on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a left elbow bone bruise, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Fried will be shut down from throwing for a "few weeks," and he'll then undergo further imaging once he becomes asymptomatic, according to Phillips, so it sounds like Fried is going to miss more than the minimum 15 days. A more specific return timeline and rehab schedule will be determined at a later date, though Fried said he doesn't anticipate that he'll need any sort of surgery, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post. It's a significant hit to the New York rotation after Fried was removed from Wednesday's start against Baltimore after surrendering three runs on five hits and a walk across three innings.

  • Rockies' Chase Dollander: Shelved by elbow sprain

    The Rockies placed Dollander on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right elbow sprain.

    Dollander was hurt during Thursday's start versus the Pirates, forcing his exit in the second inning. A diagnosis of a sprain implies that Dollander is dealing with some sort of ligament damage, though it's unclear at this point whether he will require surgery. Even if he doesn't, the righty is likely looking at an extended absence. Tanner Gordon could take Dollander's spot in the Rockies' rotation, at least until Ryan Feltner (elbow) is ready.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Could require elbow surgery

    Manager John Schneider said Friday that "surgery is on the table" for Berrios (elbow), Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Berrios was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his pitching elbow ahead of the start of the regular season and suffered a setback 10 days ago following his fourth rehab start. It sounds like the veteran could need some sort of procedure, which would obviously knock him out even longer after Berrios had been ramping up to join the Blue Jays' pitching staff this month.

  • Matt Waldron SP | SD

    Padres' Matt Waldron: Removed from 40-man roster

    The Padres designated Waldron for assignment Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Waldron has failed to gain much traction with the Padres the last two seasons, posting an 8.36 ERA and 25:13 K:BB over 28 innings covering four starts and three relief outings. The knuckleballer has a chance to clear waivers, and if that happens, he could stick around as swingman depth at Triple-A El Paso.

  • Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Will make 2026 debut Sunday

    The Angels announced Friday that Rodriguez (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Rodriguez will be making his first big-league appearance since July 31, 2024, with multiple arm injuries keeping him on the shelf for nearly two years. He missed the first month and a half of the 2026 campaign while recovering from right shoulder inflammation, which he suffered at the end of spring training. Rodriguez made two rehab starts, allowing three runs on 12 hits and two walks with 18 strikeouts across 9.2 innings. The righty built up to 94 pitches in his most recent outing with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga last weekend, so he shouldn't be too limited from a workload standpoint in his Angels debut.

  • Coleman Crow SP | MIL

    Brewers' Coleman Crow: Recalled to start Friday's game

    The Brewers recalled Crow from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Crow will be the starting pitcher in Friday's series opener in Minnesota. The rookie right-hander held his own in a spot start earlier this season, logging 5.1 innings while yielding two runs. It could be just another spot start for Crow, who has posted a 4.70 ERA and 34:13 K:BB over 30.2 innings this season with Nashville.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Rejoining rotation Saturday

    Manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Mize (adductor) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Mize landed on the IL after he sustained a right adductor strain in an April 28 start against Atlanta. The right-hander made a swift recovery from the injury and will be cleared to return Saturday without having made a rehab start beforehand, but Detroit could look to monitor is workload a bit more carefully than normal. Prior to hitting the shelf, Mize had logged a 2.90 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while striking out batters at a career-best 27.3 percent clip across 31 innings this season.

  • Christian Roa RP | CHC

    Orioles' Christian Roa: DFA'd by Baltimore

    The Orioles designated Roa for assignment Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Baltimore claimed Roa off waivers from the Twins last weekend, but he loses his 40-man roster spot to trade pickup Eduarniel Nunez, who was acquired from the Athletics on Friday. Roa has a career 3.86 ERA and 9:10 K:BB across 11.2 big-league innings.
