  • Luis Gil SP | NYY

    Yankees' Luis Gil: Likely to make another rehab start

    Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that there's "probably a good chance" Gil (lat) will make another rehab start before being activated from the injured list, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

    Gil is feeling good after making his third rehab start Wednesday, when he threw 3.1 innings at Double-A Somerset. Still, the Yankees are considering keeping GIl on assignment for another start. The 26-year-old hasn't pitched in an MLB game this season due to a high-grade lat strain.

  • Kyle Hart SP | SD

    Padres' Kyle Hart: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Padres optioned Hart to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

    Hart threw 42 pitches in relief the previous two days, and San Diego needs a fresher arm for the bullpen. Ron Marinaccio has been recalled to take Hart's spot. Hart (3-2) has pitched in nine games (six starts) for the Padres this season, registering a 5.29 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 32.1 innings of action.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Completes bullpen

    Taillon (calf) threw 47 pitches in a bullpen session Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Taillon has begun throwing off a mound, and his stamina is already quite built up. Manager Craig Counsell said July 4 that Taillon would miss at least a month of action, and the pitcher looks to be on track to return around that one-month mark. Given how far he is in the process of being stretched out, Taillon may not require many rehab starts if the Cubs decide to send him on an assignment.

  • Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: Rehab stalls

    Sandoval (elbow) has gone from throwing bullpen sessions to just playing catch and is doubtful to pitch this season, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Sandoval's rehab from internal brace surgery on his left (pitching) elbow has slowed, and it sounds like the 28-year-old won't pitch in a game until 2026. He remains on the 60-day injured list. Sandoval inked a two-year, $18.25 million deal with Boston last winter. He should contend for a spot in the rotation next spring.

  • Brandon Walter RP | HOU

    Astros' Brandon Walter: On injured list

    The Astros placed Walter on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 24, due to left elbow inflammation.

    Walter threw seven innings in a start Wednesday, but his arm didn't recover as expected, and he'll require a stint on the injured list. Houston recalled reliever Nick Hernandez from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move, but it's unclear who will take Walter's spot in the rotation.

  • Josh Grosz SP | COL

    Rockies' Josh Grosz: Dealt to Rockies

    Grosz and Griffin Herring were traded to the Rockies from the Yankees in exchange for Ryan McMahon on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    The Yankees selected Grosz in the 11th round of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, and he's spent the 2025 season at High-A Hudson Valley. In 87 innings with Hudson Valley, Grosz owns a 4-8 record, a 4.14 ERA and a 94:35 K:BB.

  • Rockies' Griffin Herring: Dealt to Colorado in McMahon trade

    Herring and an additional pitching prospect were traded to the Rockies from the Yankees on Friday in exchange for Ryan McMahon, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Herring, a sixth-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, will get a fresh start in the Rockies organization after being involved in the deal centered around McMahon. The 22-year-old Herring has made 16 starts this season across Low-A and High-A, totaling a 1.71 ERA and a 102:36 K:BB across 89.1 innings.

  • Luis Garcia SP | HOU

    Astros' Luis Garcia: Sharp in latest rehab start

    Garcia (elbow) struck out two over two perfect innings in his latest rehab start Saturday for Single-A Fayetteville.

    After making two rehab starts in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Garcia reported to a full-season affiliate last weekend. The Astros have been easing the right-hander along in his rehab, as he's covered exactly two innings in each of his three starts while giving up one earned run and posting a 9:0 K:BB. Per MLB.com, Garcia is slated to make his next start Sunday with Double-A Corpus Christi, though it's unclear if the Astros plan on having him increase his workload.

  • Astros' Cristian Javier: Makes 49-pitch rehab start

    Javier (elbow) struck out a batter and allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in his rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Making the third start of his rehab assignment following stops in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Double-A Corpus Christi, Javier built up to 49 pitches in Thursday's outing. He'll likely need to push his pitch count up into the 75-90 range before the Astros are comfortable inserting him into the big-league rotation, so the right-hander is expected to require at least two more rehab starts. Javier compiled a 3.89 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over his seven starts with Houston in 2024 before undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery last June.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Four Ks in first rehab start

    Greene (groin) struck out four batters and gave up on no hits and one walk over two scoreless innings Wednesday in his rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

    Greene made his first appearance at any level since June 3, with a right groin strain having kept him out of commission for nearly two months. Due to the length of his absence, Greene will likely need at least two more starts in the minors to get stretched out to a typical starter's workload before the Reds bring him back from the 15-day injured list. He's expected to throw a side session Sunday before moving up to Triple-A Louisville for his next rehab outing Tuesday.
