Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Tuesday that Wells (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session soon, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Wells has been throwing off a mound since early May and is almost ready to face hitters for the first time since undergoing UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery on his right elbow June 17, 2024. He is aiming to contribute for the Orioles at some point in the second half.

Rutschman (oblique) took dry swings Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

The swings were low intensity and he didn't hit a ball, but it's still a step forward for Rutschman. The Orioles will wait to see how he recovers before determining the next step in his rehab. Rutschman has already been ruled out through the All-Star break and, given where he's at in his rehab, it seems unlikely he'll be ready for the first game of the second half.

Brito was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday with a left hamstring strain.

Brito just returned from right thumb surgery less than two weeks ago and now he will be sidelined with a new injury. It's not clear at this point how much time he might miss. Brito has slashed .256/.357/.463 with three homers in 24 games with Columbus this season.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Monday that Sanchez (knee) is likely to be sidelined 8-to-10 weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Sanchez was diagnosed with a moderate PCL sprain in his right knee over the weekend and will be shelved for at least a couple months. The Orioles are also without Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back), leaving them with Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson at catcher.

Povich (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander was pulled off his rehab assignment in late May due to renewed soreness in his left hip, but after being re-evaluated and receiving a second opinion, he was cleared to resume throwing. Wednesday will be Povich's second bullpen session since the soreness resurfaced, and he could resume the rehab assignment soon if he avoids further issues.

Suarez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session later this week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It will be his first time throwing from the bump since going down with a right shoulder strain in late March. Suarez is hoping to contribute to the Orioles at some point after the All-Star break, but he still has numerous boxes to check.

The Royals transferred Ragans (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Ragans had been scheduled to resume a throwing program Monday, but it's going to take him a while to get built back up after he was shut down for nearly a month with a left rotator cuff strain. He is now not eligible to return until early August.

The Royals selected Devanney's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors as Mark Canha (elbow) heads to the injured list. Devanney isn't likely to see regular playing time while up with Kansas City and should fill a utility role.

The Red Sox transferred Hendriks (hip) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Hendriks recently suffered a setback with his right hip injury and is seeking a second opinion. He's been out since late May and now won't be eligible for activation until late July. The move frees a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Isaiah Campbell.

The Red Sox selected Campbell's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

Campbell holds a 3.89 ERA and 33:11 K:BB over 39.1 frames this season with Worcester. The 27-year-old will give Boston a fresh bullpen arm.
