  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Marlins transferred Cabrera (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

    Cabrera landed on the IL on May 8 with a right shoulder impingement and looked to be on the cusp of a return after making a three-inning rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday. However, given the Marlins' decision to move him to the 60-day IL -- which now leaves him ineligible for activation for another two weeks -- it's possible that Cabrera hit a snag in his rehab start, or the organization is deliberately aiming to slow down his return. According to Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, Cabrera had been scheduled to make his second rehab start with Jacksonville on Tuesday and was expected to cover four innings or 60 pitches, but it's unclear if his move to the 60-day IL means that those plans have changed.

  • Osvaldo Bido RP | CHW

    Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Strong showing in long relief

    Bido did not factor into the decision in Saturday's loss to the Twins, firing five relief innings during which he allowed two runs on five hits and three walks. He struck out six and also hit a batter.

    Bido was making only his second appearance with the Athletics and first of his current big-league stint with the club, which officially began Friday with a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas. Bido's extensive experience as a starter -- both in the minors and with the Pirates last season -- came in very handy when JP Sears was chased without even completing two innings. Bido spared the rest of the bullpen while coming just an inning short of what would have qualified as the equivalent of a quality start. The right-hander is likely to be utilized in similar low-leverage, multi-inning roles during this time with the A's.

  • Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Placed on injured list

    The Marlins placed Garrett on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left forearm flexor strain.

    The Marlins announced Saturday that Garrett wouldn't start as scheduled Sunday against the Mariners after he reported soreness in his left elbow. After further examination, the team has uncovered a strain in his left forearm, which will cause him to miss a few extra turns through the rotation. Kyle Tyler was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move to start Sunday's contest.

  • Zach Plesac SP | LAA

    Angels' Zach Plesac: Hammered for six runs

    Plesac (1-1) was tagged with the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out one.

    Plesac managed to get through the first two innings unscathed before unraveling in the third. The right-hander allowed three consecutive hits to open the frame, two of which went for home runs, and needed 32 pitches to get through the inning. He's now allowed multiple home runs in each of his first two starts while posting just one strikeout in both outings. Whether or not Plesac sticks around the Angels' rotation for another start remains to be seen, though he certainly didn't help his chances with Saturday's performance.

  • Marco Gonzales RP | TEX

    Pirates' Marco Gonzales: Slated to face hitters

    Gonzales (forearm) will throw live batting practice at Double-A Altoona on Wednesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    After throwing a handful of bullpen sessions since the beginning of June, Gonzales will now go up against live minor-league hitters as the next step in his rehab process. Assuming all goes well Wednesday, the 32-year-old lefty will likely begin playing in rehab games with Altoona shortly afterward.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Strikes out 10 in victory

    Glasnow (8-5) picked up the win over the Angels on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits over seven innings while striking out 10.

    Glasnow got off to a great start, going 1-2-3 through each of the first three innings while striking out five of the first 11 batters he faced. He would allow just one unearned run over the first six frames before leaving a slider up in the zone in the seventh, which Logan O'Hoppe launched into the stands for a solo shot. Glasnow has been spectacular as of late, with the exception of his road outing against the Yankees three starts back, allowing no more than three hits in four of his last five outings. He's also posted double-digit strikeouts in two of his last three starts and now carries a 40:4 K:BB in June to go along with a 2.42 ERA.

  • Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Fans eight in no-decision

    Parker did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings while striking out eight.

    All four runs against Parker came over the first three innings, topped off by a three-run blast from Brendan Rodgers. However, the right-hander would go on to finish strong, striking out the side in the sixth and fanning six of the final 12 batters he faced on the night. Parker matched his season high with eight strikeouts in the contest, and he's now gone at least six innings in three of his last four starts, posting a 15:5 K:BB over that stretch.

  • Cal Quantrill RP | TEX

    Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Logs quality start

    Quantrill did not factor into the decision in a win over the Nationals on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings while striking out five.

    Most of the damage against Quantrill came in the third when CJ Abrams tagged him for a leadoff double to open the inning before then advancing to third on a balk. The right-hander would go on to surrender two runs in the frame before later giving up a leadoff homer to Abrams in the fifth, though the former was still able to get through six innings for the seventh time in his last 10 starts. Quantrill has given up three or fewer runs in four consecutive outings, though he's also allowed seven hits in each of his last two.

  • Taijuan Walker SP | LAA

    Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Lands on IL with finger issue

    The Phillies placed Walker on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right index finger inflammation.

    Walker's move to the IL comes after he labored through four innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over four innings. Across 10 starts this season, the 31-year-old right-hander is 3-3 with a 5.60 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 43:21 K:BB across 53 innings. The Phillies brought up Michael Mercado from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take over Walker's spot on the 26-man active roster, but Mercado is expected to work as a long man out of the bullpen while Spencer Turnbull moves back into the rotation in Walker's stead.

  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

    Henry made three appearances for the Diamondbacks after his call-up June 9, allowing 13 runs on 14 hits (including five home runs) and seven walks while striking out six over 10 innings. He'll look to regain his control in the minors, where he has a more respectable 3.41 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 31.2 innings. Left-hander Brandon Hughes was recalled by Arizona in a corresponding move.
