Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Rodon (elbow) has had "a few good days of throwing" and could resume throwing off a mound at some point during the upcoming week, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Rodon rested Sunday, but the southpaw is expected to resume playing catch Monday and will do throwing of some kind just about every day during the All-Star break. He'll likely need to complete multiple bullpen sessions before he advances to facing hitters and then embarks on a rehab assignment, so Rodon still has a few hurdles to clear in his recovery from left elbow inflammation prior to returning from the 15-day injured list. Rodon is without a definitive target date for a return but appears unlikely to make it back from the shelf before the end of July.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Fried (elbow) threw a successful live batting practice session Saturday and is "likely" to pitch in a rehab game as soon as next Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Per MLB.com, Fried reported to Double-A Somerset to throw his live session Saturday and tossed 44 pitches over three simulated innings. He'll presumably throw a bullpen session in the next day or two before the Yankees assign him to an affiliate to kick off a rehab assignment. Assuming he's able to build on his 44-pitch workload from Saturday, Fried may need just one or two rehab appearances before slotting back into the New York rotation. The veteran southpaw has been on the shelf since May 16 due to a bone bruise in his left elbow.

Double-A Erie placed Miller on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to an unspecified issue.

Miller opened the season on Triple-A Toledo's IL while he was recovering from October labral repair surgeries on both of his hips, but he was activated and assigned to Erie earlier in the week after completing a six rehab appearances across stops with three of the Tigers' lower-level affiliates. He made his debut for Erie on Tuesday and struck out two over three scoreless frames, but Miller apparently succumbed to a new injury coming out of that appearance.

Ginn (7-6) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings.

Ginn's outing unraveled quickly after Sam Antonacci launched a leadoff homer to spark a six-run first inning for Chicago. The right-hander did finish the outing with seven strikeouts and retired nine straight batters at one point, but a single and a walk to begin the fifth ended his afternoon, and Chicago tacked on three more runs following the exit, leaving him charged with a career-high eight earned runs. Despite Sunday's rough outing, Ginn was reliable for much of the first half, posting a 3.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:46 K:BB across 103 innings, and he will have the opportunity to bounce back after the All-Star break.

Schultz (3-6) earned the win Sunday against the Athletics, allowing one run on four hits while striking out four over five innings.

Schultz didn't allow a run after serving up a first-inning solo homer to Shea Langeliers, although he did have to escape a bases-loaded jam in the fourth. Most encouragingly, the left-hander did not issue a walk for just the second time this season after handing out at least four free passes in five of his previous 10 starts. The victory snapped Schultz's four-start losing streak and was his first win since May 1. He heads into the All-Star break with a 5.60 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 47:29 K:BB across 53 innings.

Seymour (6-2) took the loss Sunday against the Mariners, allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings.

After a clean first inning, Seymour ran into trouble in the second, allowing five batters to reach as Seattle plated three runs. He gave up a solo homer to Weston Wilson in the fourth before exiting later in the inning with two runners aboard. Cole Sulser replaced him and immediately surrendered a three-run homer to Randy Arozarena. In seven appearances as a starter or bulk reliever this season, Seymour has posted a 4.13 ERA with a 42:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings.

Cantillo (8-4) earned the win Sunday against the Marlins, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out nine over five innings.

Cantillo threw 57 of his 85 pitches for strikes, generating an outstanding 20 whiffs on 40 swings, and recorded multiple strikeouts in four of his five innings. He navigated around trouble early, loading the bases in the second inning before striking out a pair to escape the jam. The right-hander allowed his lone run in the third but stranded two more runners to stop the bleeding. The 26-year-old heads into the All-Star break in excellent form, posting a 1.59 ERA over his last six starts, including three outings with nine strikeouts.

Walton was promoted to Double-A Akron on Sunday.

Walton will make the leap to the Double-A level after compiling a .275 average with 15 home runs, 55 RBI, 68 runs scored and 21 stolen bases over 302 at-bats in 79 contests with High-A Lake County so far this season. The 22-year-old was selected 66th overall in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, and he has lived up to the selection to this point.

Montero allowed three runs on four hits across three innings of relief in Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Phillies. He walked one and struck out five.

For the first time across his last four appearances in long relief, Montero allowed a run to cross home plate. Even with the brief stumble, it was a good first half of the season for the righty, who posted a 3.33 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 65 strikeouts across 97.1 innings. Montero may slide back into Detroit's rotation at some point, but for now, expect him to stick in his bullpen role, as he's been fairly effective in relief.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Smith had gone 0-for-11 with a sacrifice fly over his previous four games. He was well on his way to another poor showing, but he turned it around with an eighth-inning homer. The outfielder is batting .218 with a .669 OPS, 12 homers, 34 RBI, 39 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases over 96 contests this season.
