Meyer (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Meyer needs Tommy John surgery, and it couldn't have come at a worse time on the calendar as he may not be ready for game action until after the 2023 season. In the meantime, Trevor Rogers also landed on the shelf with backs spasms, so Nick Neidert may be on his way up from Triple-A to join the Marlins' rotation.

Rogers was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with lower-back spasms, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rogers has a 6.67 ERA, 1.72 WHIP, 54 strikeouts and two wins in his last 55.1 innings (12 starts). Nick Neidert is expected to take Rogers' spot in the rotation Saturday against the Mets.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Severino (lat) may be able to start throwing Monday, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

Severino has been on a planned two-week shutdown since he went on the injured list July 14, so he would be in the range of that timeframe if he is able to throw Monday. Boone suggested that the right-hander's return to a throwing program is contingent on the next few days going well for him, so it's not yet set in stone. Severino will likely need at least a week to ramp up once he starts throwing before he's able to return to the Yankees' rotation.

Megill (shoulder) will likely work out of the bullpen once he is activated, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

He began a throwing program a couple weeks ago but has not begun a rehab assignment yet. Megill made waves as a starter earlier this season, so he may be stretched out next spring after potentially helping the Mets make a playoff run while getting big outs in relief.

Gore may be able to avoid surgery on his elbow, but he'll continue to be evaluated for the next few days, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Gore was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday and the team's medical staff is still determining the extent of his injury. While it's possible the southpaw will be able to recover with a period of rest and rehab, it seems likely he'll need more than the minimum 15 days on the shelf.

Hill (knee) hopes to start Tuesday's game against the Astros, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Hill has been sidelined since early July due to a knee injury, but he made a rehab start at Double-A Portland on Thursday and allowed a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in three innings. If the southpaw is cleared to return from the injured list to make Tuesday's start, he'll likely have his pitch count monitored since he tossed just 56 pitches during Thursday's rehab outing.

Feltner was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

He has a 6.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in 33.2 innings in the majors this season. Feltner last pitched July 24 at Triple-A and tossed five innings, so he should be capable of working in long relief this weekend at home against the Dodgers.

Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Peterson wasn't listed as a starter for any games during the Mets' weekend series against Miami, and he'll ultimately head to the minors with Jacob deGrom (shoulder) on track to make his season debut next week. Peterson posted a 4.64 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 21.1 innings over six outings in July and will be a candidate for a call-up if the Mets need an additional starter at some point.

Odorizzi (finger) is scheduled to start Sunday against the Mariners, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Odorizzi dealt with a blister during his previous start Monday against the A's, but he's apparently been cleared to make his next turn through the rotation. He surrendered six runs during that outing and has a 5.91 ERA and 17:3 K:BB across 21.1 innings through four starts in July.

Martin was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Martin has made six appearances (three starts) for the White Sox this year, posting a 4.67 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 27 innings. Although he's served exclusively as a starter in the minors this year, he should serve as a multi-inning option out of the big-league bullpen after Parker Markel was outrighted to Charlotte on Friday.
