The Diamondbacks placed Gallen (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

The right-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday against the Dodgers due to elbow inflammation and will be out for at least the next couple weeks. The severity of the injury hasn't been disclosed, so it's unclear if Gallen will be ready to return when first eligible in late July. Mitch Bratt was called up Sunday in a corresponding move.

Ritchie is slated to work in bulk relief behind opener Danny Young during Sunday's game in St. Louis, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Young is unlikely to work more than an inning or two before giving way to Ritchie, who has re-entered the Atlanta rotation following Hurston Waldrep's recent demotion to Triple-A Gwinnett. Ritchie's workload is still expected to be monitored carefully Sunday, as the young righty will be taking the hill on just two days' rest after covering 1.1 innings in a 35-pitch appearance Thursday.

Hancock was removed from Sunday's start against the Rays with an apparent hand injury, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

The right-hander remained in the game after being struck in the hand by a comebacker during the opening frame, but he was lifted after issuing a two-out walk in the second inning. The specifics of the injury aren't yet clear, but for now the 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Sunday that Lowder will rejoin the starting rotation after the All-Star break, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The right-hander was shifted to the bullpen last week after Hunter Greene was cleared to come off the injured list and will now re-enter the rotation following Nick Lodolo's (finger) placement on the injured list Sunday. Lowder -- who will be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the Cubs -- has pitched well in his two relief outings with just one run allowed over five frames. He posted a 5.31 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over his 13 starts.

The Mets recalled Thornton from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his start against the Red Sox on Sunday.

The left-hander went back to Syracuse after delivering a quality start against the Phillies on June 26, and he'll rejoin the Mets to start the final game before the All-Star break. In addition to that outing, Thornton made one previous start in the majors this season, giving up four runs across 4.1 innings at Washington on May 20.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Schlittler has elected not to pitch Tuesday in the All-Star Game, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

The All-Star nod was well deserved, as Schlittler finished the season's first half with a 2.05 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 137:25 K:BB across 118.2 innings. However, rather than making his first appearance in the Midsummer Classic, Schlittler doesn't want to exert himself too much Tuesday on what would be his between-starts throw day. The right-hander last pitched Saturday in Washington, so he may not get much extra rest built into his schedule if the Yankees want him to pitch against the Dodgers next weekend.

Misiorowski (arm) is expected to resume throwing Tuesday but won't make a start next weekend against the Marlins in the Brewers' first series coming out of the All-Star break, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Misiorowski had been lined up to start the final game before the break Sunday in Pittsburgh, but the Brewers opted to scratch him after he experienced some arm fatigue after his previous appearance Tuesday. While the right-hander doesn't appear to be dealing with anything overly concerning, the team will use break as a way to build in some extended rest for their young ace. After covering 141.1 innings between Triple-A and the majors during the regular season and playoffs in 2025, the 24-year-old is well on his way to soar past that mark, as he's tossed 111 innings through his first 18 starts of 2026. Misiorowski appears likely to make his next start during the Brewers' three-game home series with the Mets, which begins July 20.

The Reds placed Lodolo (finger) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Lodolo developed a blister on his left index finger Saturday and will hit the IL for the second time in 2026. The southpaw had previously opened the season on the IL due to the same issue, missing six weeks before debuting May 8. He'll be eligible for activation July 27, but given the extended time off he required the first time around, Lodolo is far from a safe bet to return in the minimum amount of time.

The Brewers reinstated Crow (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.

Milwaukee placed Crow on the shelf June 12 due to a mild flexor strain, but he's healthy again after he was able to complete two rehab starts with Nashville earlier this month. With no room for him in the big-league rotation at the moment, the 25-year-old righty will stick around at Triple-A and is expected to continue making regular starts for Nashville.

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

The veteran right-hander was diagnosed with an injury to his right anterior shoulder capsule after landing on the IL last weekend, and it's not a major surprise the injury will keep him sidelined for at least two months. Woodruff is without an official timeline for his return after a recent meeting with Dr. Keith Meister for a second opinion on his shoulder, but the Brewers could have a clearer idea on his prognosis following the All-Star break, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He's been effective when available this season with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 45.1 innings, but the recurrent shoulder issues remain a major hurdle that Woodruff has struggled to fully overcome.
