Dollander (forearm) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Tuesday in Miami, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Dollander went on the IL less than two weeks ago with right forearm tightness but has been cleared to return after getting through a live batting practice session last week with no issues. He will be skipping a rehab assignment, so Dollander might not be ready for a full workload versus the Marlins.

The Angels recalled Aldegheri from Double-A Rocket City on Monday.

Aldegheri made three starts for the Angels late last season, but he'll be back with the big club for the first time in 2025 after being optioned to the minors early on in spring training. The 23-year-old lefty has continued his development as a starter this season at Rocket City, where he had posted a 4.54 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 41.2 innings across his eight outings. The Angels don't appear to have an opening in the rotation at the moment, so Aldegheri is likely to slot in as a multi-inning reliever for the time being.

The Tigers designated Cusick for assignment Monday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Parker Meadows (arm), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. The Tigers claimed Cusick off waivers from the Athletics last week, but he made just one appearance for Triple-A Toledo before Detroit booted him off the roster.

The Yankees will place Carrasco on outright waivers prior to Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Carrasco was added to the big-league roster Sunday as bullpen protection but did not make an appearance. He accepted an outright assignment by the Yankees in May and could do so again.

Fitts will start Monday's game against the Angels in Boston.

With the Red Sox moving Hunter Dobbins to the bullpen last week, Fitts appears poised to hold down a spot in the rotation, at least until Boston gets Kutter Crawford (knee) and/or Tanner Houck (elbow) back from the injured list. After missing nearly six weeks due to a pectoral strain, Fitts returned from the IL last Tuesday. He started in the Red Sox's loss to the Brewers that day, but because he didn't get fully stretched out on his rehab assignment prior to being activated, Fitts was lifted after tossing three innings and 44 pitches. Manager Alex Cora said that Fitts will be available for 75 to 80 pitches Monday in the first of a projected two starts this week, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.. The right-hander lines up for a second start this weekend against the Yankees on the road.

Wheeler won't make a start for the Phillies during their three-game trip in Toronto to begin the week and is expected to remain in Philadelphia while he awaits the birth of his child, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Philadelphia had previously confirmed Wheeler as its starter for Tuesday's series opener, but with his wife expected to give birth any day now, he'll be away from the team while he welcomes a new child into the world. The Phillies will go with Cristopher Sanchez, Mick Abel and Jesus Luzardo as their three starters in Toronto, but Wheeler could meet back up with the team in Pittsburgh and take the hill as soon as Friday's series opener versus the Pirates.

Sanchez is scheduled to start Tuesday's series opener against the Blue Jays in Toronto, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Sanchez was initially slated to take the hill for the second game of the series Wednesday, but he'll be pushed up a day in the schedule with ace Zack Wheeler skipping the trip to Toronto and remaining in Philadelphia while he awaits the birth of his child. As a result of the change, Sanchez now lines up for two starts this week, with his second turn set to come Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Snell (shoulder) could resume throwing off a mound early next week in San Diego, Dodgersbeat reports.

Snell hasn't thrown from the bump since he experienced a setback with his left shoulder in late April, but he's made enough recent strides with his flat-ground work that he's almost ready to try things from a mound again. A timetable for Snell's return to the Dodgers' rotation could become clearer in the coming weeks if he's able to throw off a mound without any hiccups.

Double-A Columbus placed Fuentes on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to a blister on his pitching hand, Harrison Smajovits of SI.com reports.

Despite developing the blister during his May 24 start, Fuentes was effective in his final outing before landing on the shelf, striking out a season-high nine batters and allowing just one hit over four innings. Since moving up from High-A Rome in late April, Fuentes owns a 4.98 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB over 21.2 innings with Columbus.

Double-A Columbus placed Hackenberg on its 7-day injured list May 15 due to an unspecified injury.

Hackenberg has posted a 7.03 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 19:18 K:BB over 24.1 innings in his eight starts on the season, and it's possible that the injury had something to do with his rough performance. Atlanta hasn't provided any word regarding the nature of the injury or when he might return, but Hackenberg could have his workload monitored carefully once he's ultimately cleared to pitch again.
