  • Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Called up Monday

    Henriquez was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

    Henriquez will join the major-league roster for the first time this season after posting a 5.89 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with 26 strikeouts over 18.1 innings in 18 appearances, including two starts, with Oklahoma City this season. The right-hander allowed one run on two hits and two walks, while striking out five batters over 3.1 innings with Los Angeles in 2024. Lou Trivino was designated for assignment Monday, opening a spot for Henriquez in the Dodgers' bullpen.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Another live BP on Friday

    Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Monday that Miller (elbow) will throw another live batting practice session Friday before beginning a rehab assignment, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.

    Miller came out of a live BP session Saturday with no issues but will need to face hitters once more before being cleared for rehab games. He's been sidelined since early June with right elbow inflammation and could require at least a couple rehab starts before rejoining the Mariners' rotation.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Targeting start on Wednesday

    Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that the club is targeting Wednesday against the Athletics for Eovaldi's (back) next start, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Eovaldi had to be scratched from a scheduled outing Sunday versus the Tigers due to back tightness, but he will avoid the 15-day injured list and take the ball Wednesday as long as he continues to make progress. The veteran right-hander has permitted just two runs (one earned) with a 19:2 K:BB across 18.2 innings in his three starts this month.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    White Sox's Martin Perez: Aiming for Aug. 2 rehab start

    Perez (elbow) is aiming to begin a rehab assignment Aug. 2, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Out since mid-April with a left flexor strain, Perez has been throwing off a mound and will progress to facing hitters at the end of this week. Assuming his rehab continues to move along without hiccups, he will be cleared for rehab games in early August and likely return before the end of that month if all goes well.

  • Rockies' German Marquez: Undergoing MRI on shoulder

    Marquez will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Marquez left Sunday's start against the Twins after yielding three runs on four hits and four walks across three innings of work. He struck out two and also surrendered his 13th home run of the season. Marquez was lifted after 58 pitches, admitting he couldn't fully extend at the end of his pitches, citing shoulder tightness. There's a chance the Rockies will skip Marquez's next scheduled start. His name has been thrown around in trade rumors ahead of next week's trade deadline.

  • Rays' Shane McClanahan: Next rehab start could be in peril

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said that McClanahan (triceps) "felt OK, nothing great" during a 10-pitch bullpen session Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The bullpen session came after McClanahan served up two home runs and recorded only two outs in his most recent rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Friday. The southpaw is tentatively scheduled to make the fourth start of his rehab assignment Thursday, but Cash indicated that the Rays haven't yet locked McClanahan in to make an appearance that day. McClanahan has been sidelined all season with a nerve issue in his pitching arm, and he has yet to cover more than 1.2 innings in any of his rehab outings thus far.

  • Tanner Houck SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Shut down indefinitely

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Houck is shut down indefinitely following a recurrence of right flexor soreness, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Cora does not anticipate Houck requiring surgery, but he said the pitcher will "go to step one" once he resumes throwing. It puts Houck's return this season at risk. The right-hander has been sidelined since mid-May.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Recalled ahead of Monday's start

    The Cardinals recalled McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    McGreevy is lined up to start Monday's series opener against the Rockies. The Cardinals are expected to keep McGreevy in the rotation for an extended look this time around, as he's starting in place of Matthew Liberatore this week. The Cardinals are skipping Liberatore's turn in the rotation since he's on pace to blow past his previous career high in innings pitched. McGreevy (1-1) sports a 4.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 21.1 innings pitched at the MLB level this season.

  • Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Undergoing imaging on elbow

    Rodriguez (lat) is undergoing imaging on his right elbow after feeling discomfort earlier this month, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Rodriguez has been sidelined all season, first with an elbow problem and then with a right lat issue. It now appears that the elbow is the bigger concern, although more should be known once the test results are in. Rodriguez will remain shut down until late this week, at minimum. He has not pitched in a game setting since spring training, so it will take him a long time to be major-league ready even if he progresses without more setbacks from here on out.

  • Troy Melton P | DET

    Tigers' Troy Melton: Making MLB debut Wednesday

    The Tigers plan to call up Melton from Triple-A Toledo to start Wednesday's game against the Pirates at PNC Park, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The upcoming move to the big leagues will represent the third stop of the season for the 25-year-old righty, who has produced a 2.99 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 101:20 K:BB over 75.1 innings between Toledo and Double-A Erie. Melton won't be guaranteed any starts beyond Wednesday, but a strong showing against a reeling Pirates squad could might be enough for him to stick around as the fifth member of the rotation over Keider Montero and Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck).
