Gonzales has been shut down for two weeks because of nerve issues in his elbow, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gonzales resumed throwing earlier this month, but he's hit another snag and can probably be ruled out through at least the end of July. The left-hander originally landed on the injured list June 3 due to a forearm flexor strain.

Keller (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Omaha, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Keller might need multiple outings on the farm given that he's been sidelined since May 19 because of right shoulder impingement syndrome. The 27-year-old had pitched to a 4.36 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 31:40 K:BB in 43.1 innings prior to the IL stint.

The Tigers placed Boyd on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, and he will require Tommy John surgery on his left elbow, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Boyd was pulled from his start Monday against Texas with left elbow discomfort, and now he'll be forced to miss the rest of the season and most of 2024. He finishes the season with a 5.45 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with a 73:25 K:BB through 71 innings. Anthony Misiewicz was promoted in a corresponding move.

Detroit activated Manning (foot) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday versus the Rangers.

Manning is finally ready to return to the Tigers' rotation after missing more than 10 weeks because of a fracture in his right foot. He struggled to command the ball on his three-start minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo and makes for a risky fantasy streamer against the dangerous Texas lineup.

Flaherty (hip) has been cleared to start Saturday against the Yankees, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Flaherty had been lined up to handle Thursday's series finale versus the Astros, but the Cardinals will give him a couple extra days of rest after he was scratched from his last turn in the rotation Sunday in London due to hip discomfort. The 27-year-old right-hander carries a disappointing 4.95 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 80:44 K:BB through 80 innings (15 starts) this season with St. Louis.

The Cubs expect Stroman (finger) to make his next start this weekend, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

After being pulled from his start Sunday due to a blister on his right index finger, Stroman appears to be in line to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Saturday against Cleveland. It hasn't been confirmed just yet, but the Cubs will know for sure whether Stroman is good to go within the next couple of days.

Turnbull (neck) is scheduled to throw off a mound Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

It will be his first mound workout since he landed on the injured list in early May because of a neck injury. There's no exact timetable yet for Turnbull's activation from the 60-day IL and he's likely to require a lengthy minor-league rehab stint, but the 30-year-old right-hander seems to finally be headed in a positive direction.

Woodruff (shoulder) threw another bullpen session Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Woodruff threw 25 pitches -- fastballs and off-speed -- during his bullpen session Tuesday. He is still scheduled to throw a few more bullpen sessions before beginning a rehab assignment, and his return timeline is still undetermined. Woodruff will continue his throwing program in Milwaukee over the All-Star break, meaning a late-July or early August return is probable for the 30-year-old righty.

Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list with right calf inflammation Tuesday.

Kelly struggled in his last start Sunday versus the Giants, allowing seven runs over five frames, and he will now be unavailable until after the All-Star break as he nurses his calf. Right-handed relievers Kevin Ginkel and Justin Martinez were called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, though it's yet to be seen who will replace Kelly in Arizona's starting rotation. Top prospect Brandon Pfaadt could be an option to get called up from Reno.

Houck is undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair his facial fracture, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Houck will have small plates inserted into his right cheek, where the swelling his subsided 10 days after he got struck there by a comebacker off the bat of Kyle Higashioka. There is no timetable for Houck's return to the Red Sox, but he is expected to pitch again before the end of the 2023 season.
