Perez (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Perez has been sidelined since mid-April with a left flexor strain but has made excellent progress in his rehab program and has now reached the final phase of his recovery process. Given the length of his absence, Perez is sure to require a handful of rehab starts prior to being activated from the 60-day injured list, but he could be back in the White Sox's rotation by late August if all goes well. Before landing on the shelf, Perez went 1-1 with a 3.15 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB in 20 innings.

Waldrep threw seven scoreless innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out eight.

There had been speculation the 23-year-old right-hander might get called up this week to bolster Atlanta's injury-ravaged rotation, but Waldrep instead remained at Gwinnett and delivered arguably his best performance of the season. He's given up two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts, posting a 1.99 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB over 40.2 innings during that stretch. With Atlanta out of the playoff picture and expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, the team could still promote Waldrep at some point over the final weeks of the campaign to help him get his feet wet in the majors ahead of competing for a rotation spot next spring.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Crochet won't make his next start until Monday or Tuesday versus the Royals at Fenway Park as part of a workload-management plan, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Crochet had been lined up to pitch Friday's series opener versus the Astros, but the Red Sox will instead break in a spot starter or treat that game as a bullpen day in order to afford the 26-year-old lefty some extra rest. Though he's maintained excellent health throughout his first season in Boston, Crochet is in his second year as a full-time starter and missed all of 2022 and the early part of the 2023 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery. As such, the Red Sox are cognizant of not overextending Crochet, even though he hasn't yet shown any signs of wearing down as he closes in on surpassing his innings total from last season (146). The Red Sox haven't indicated that they plan on having Crochet skip additional turns through the rotation over the rest of the season, though that could become more of a consideration if the team fades from playoff contention.

Roupp (elbow) threw 35 pitches off flat ground Tuesday and is expected to continue pitching at the Giants' complex in Arizona while the team is on its six-game road trip, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Roupp was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, due to right elbow inflammation. The right-hander will continue ramping up and is expected to return shortly after he's first eligible Aug. 6. Roupp may go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Giants during their next homestand, per Rubin.

The White Sox acquired Ziehl from the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Austin Slater, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Recently promoted to High-A Hudson Valley, Ziehl has spent most of the 2025 season at Single-A Tampa, with whom he's posted a 4.00 ERA and 63:14 K:BB over 74.1 innings covering 14 starts. The 22-year-old was a fourth-round pick of the Yankees in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.

Houser was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Houser is on the trade block, and while he has not be dealt anywhere at this point, the White Sox are holding the righty out in anticipation of moving him ahead of Thursday's deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Lefty Tyler Alexander is now scheduled to start Wednesday in what will likely be a bullpen game for Chicago.

The Orioles optioned Young to Double-A Chesapeake on Wednesday.

Young was called up Tuesday to serve as the 27th man for the Orioles' doubleheader versus the Blue Jays. He drew the start in the second game of the twin bill, taking a no-decision despite limiting the Blue Jays to two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. Though he'll head back to the minors for now, Young could be in line for a longer look in the rotation over the final two months of the season if the Orioles ship out a starter or two ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, although both Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Cade Povich (hip) are close to returning from the injured list.

Fried (12-4) got the win over the Rays on Tuesday, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out nine in 6.2 innings.

Fried allowed three runs through the first three frames, including a Jonny DeLuca two-run triple and a solo shot from Jonathan Aranda. Fried went on to retire 14 straight after allowing the home run and exited in the seventh after a two-out RBI double from Taylor Walls. Fried has issued multiple walks in four of his last five starts, but his nine strikeouts Tuesday tied for his second-highest total this season. Fried is sixth in the American League with a 2.62 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and lines up to take the mound next week against the Rangers.

The Twins optioned Ohl to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Ohl made his major-league debut in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Red Sox, allowing four runs over three innings as a starter. He could get another opportunity with the big club down the stretch, but for now, he'll return to a swingman role at St. Paul.

Gordon (2-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two in three innings.

Gordon was hit around in this one and had a disappointing outing after he was impressive in a scoreless showing against the Cardinals last week. Gordon allowed three runs through two innings and coughed up another four runs in the third, including a Kyle Manzardo two-run homer and Brayan Rocchio two-run triple. Despite the rough showing, Gordon figures to stick around in the rotation for the short term while German Marquez (biceps) is recovering. Gordon lines up to start at home versus the Blue Jays to begin next week.
