Carlos Lagrange SP | NYY
Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Moving to bullpen at Triple-A
Lagrange is being moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
It's unclear whether this is a permanent move, but Lagrange's best chance to contribute to the Yankees this season is as a reliever. The hard-throwing righty has posted a 4.41 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 63:25 K:BB over 49 innings in 2026 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that it will be "several weeks" before Lagrange is under consideration for the major-league bullpen, as he will have to go through a de-load period before being cleared for more frequent usage.

Athletics' Kade Morris: Officially added to roster
The Athletics selected Morris' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Morris has put up a 4.45 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 49 strikeouts over 60.2 innings in 11 starts with Las Vegas this season. The right-hander is expected to get an opportunity in the Athletics' rotation, though it's unclear when exactly his major-league debut will occur.

Jake Miller SP | DET
Tigers' Jake Miller: Ready for rehab assignment
Miller (hips) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Miller missed most of 2025 and has gotten a late start to the 2026 season as he works his way back from surgery on both hips. He's finally ready for game action and will eventually move up to the rotation either at Double-A Erie or Triple-A Toledo.

Chris Paddack SP | CIN
Reds' Chris Paddack: Slated to shift to bullpen soon
Reds manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that Paddack could be available out of the bullpen as soon as Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
As long as Rhett Lowder's (shoulder) rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday goes well, he will slide back into the Reds' rotation and push Paddack to a relief role. Paddack has collected a 6.90 ERA and 35:17 K:BB over 45.2 innings between the Marlins and Reds this season.

Quinn Priester SP | MIL
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Rehab transferred to complex league
Priester's (shoulder) rehab assignment has been transferred from Triple-A Nashville to the Brewers' Arizona Complex League team, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Working his way back from thoracic outlet syndrome, Priester struggled again in his last rehab outing with Nashville, as he was charged with three runs while recording only two outs. In six rehab starts between Nashville and High-A Wisconsin, Priester holds a 21.60 ERA, 3.60 WHIP and 10:17 K:BB in 10 innings. By sending him to the ACL, the Brewers will have more control over Priester's workload in a less stressful setting. McCalvy writes that doctors "continue to believe, for now," that Priester doesn't need season-ending surgery, but that stance might have to be re-evaluated if the righty doesn't show improvement.

German Marquez SP | SD
Padres' German Marquez: Making rehab start Tuesday
Marquez (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Marquez has been shelved for the past month after going down with right forearm nerve irritation, but the veteran right-hander resumed throwing in mid-May and has been cleared to pitch in a rehab setting after facing hitters last week. It's not clear how many rehab starts the Padres will ask Marquez to make. He held a 5.76 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB across 29.2 innings before getting hurt.

Reds' Zach McCambley: Contract selected
The Reds selected McCambley's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old was acquired from the Marlins in exchange for Rece Hinds on May 21 and is now on the cusp of making his MLB debut. Across 30.1 innings at the Triple-A level this year, McCambley has a 2.37 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB in 15 appearances (two starts).

Hunter Brown SP | HOU
Astros' Hunter Brown: Next rehab start set
Brown (shoulder) will make his next rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Brown made the second start of his rehab assignment with Sugar Land this past Friday, allowing one run on one hit and no walks while striking out five over three innings. The right-hander continues working his way back from a shoulder strain and will likely require at least one more minor-league start after Thursday before being ready to rejoin the big-league rotation.
