MLB Player News

Butto was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Butto is part of a wave of promotions for the Mets as rosters expand. He'll join the team's bullpen and could be an option for spot starts in the final month.

Gaddis was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Gaddis picked up a win in a three-inning relief outing in his last appearance but now finds himself back in the minors following a wave of waiver claims by the Guardians. He's posted a 4.85 ERA over 10 appearances (six starts) for Cleveland this season.

Quantrill (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Friday versus the Rays, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Quantrill is back in the rotation for Cleveland after missing nearly two full months due to shoulder inflammation. The 28-year-old right-hander had posted a rough 6.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB in 67 innings (13 starts) prior to the lengthy IL stint.

Gil (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Tampa on Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

It will be his first game action since he underwent Tommy John surgery last May. While it's possible the Yankees could activate Gil later this month, the most important thing at this point is getting him built back up so he has a chance to contribute as a starter next season. The righty would seem to be a prime candidate for the Arizona Fall League and/or winter ball.

Suarez (hamstring) was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Suarez isn't slated to rejoin the Phillies' rotation until Sunday in Milwaukee, but with rosters now expanded the team went ahead and activated him. The left-hander has missed the last couple weeks with a right hamstring strain. He'll carry a 3.88 ERA into Sunday's proceedings.

Vasquez was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Vasquez is part of the Yankees' roster expansion as the calendar flips to September. He looks to be ticketed primarily for relief work but is a candidate for some spot starts down the stretch.

Lodolo will not require surgery on his injured left tibia, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

He is however done for the season, as previously reported. Lodolo finished the 2023 campaign having thrown just 34.1 innings with a 6.29 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB. The southpaw still has plenty of upside heading into 2024, but he'll have to show he can stay healthy.

Dunn will undergo surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his right shoulder, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Dunn has been out all season with the shoulder issue and recently had a setback while on a rehab assignment. He could be sidelined well into the 2024 season.

Eovaldi (forearm) threw a light bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Eovaldi was potentially on track to return from his forearm strain when rosters expanded, but he experienced tightness in his side following a bullpen session last week, delaying his activation from the IL. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday's session went well, and Eovaldi is scheduled to throw a "much heavier" session Friday.

Lucchesi is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse at some point in September and join the Mets' rotation, Tim Britton and Will Sammon of the Athletic report.

The exact date of the southpaw's promotion isn't yet clear. Lucchesi was optioned to Syracuse on Aug. 19 and isn't eligible to rejoin the big-league roster until Sept. 3, barring another player landing on the IL. The Mets plan to shift to a six-man rotation when they begin a stretch of 17 games in 17 days on Sept. 8, however, and may delay Lucchesi's promotion until then. He's performed well in six spot starts so far this season, posting a 3.54 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB in 28 MLB innings.
