Curet (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Curet finished up a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on June 27 and saw his first appearance for Triple-A on Thursday against Columbus. His command evaded him at times, surrendering a pair of walks, but he managed to strike out three over two scoreless innings in what was ultimately a successful outing.

Rojas (abdomen) allowed three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five across 4.2 innings Friday against Double-A Portland.

Rojas was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday after missing time with an abdominal injury. While he was a bit shaky in Friday's outing, he was locked in during his rehab assignment, posting a 1.00 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with a 26:5 K:BB over 18.0 innings across stints at Single-A and in the Florida Complex League.

Gordon is being evaluated for a concussion after he was struck in the head by a comebacker during his start in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Guardians, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

After being struck by a Steven Kwan line drive in the fifth inning, Gordon was briefly knocked down but managed to stay in the game. He was pulled from the game in the following frame, ultimately suffering his second loss of the season while striking out two and allowing five earned runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. Until his concussion testing is completed, Gordon can be considered day-to-day, though the rookie southpaw isn't expected to make another start before the All-Star break.

Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-3 win against the Rockies.

Gonzalez drew his third consecutive start at the keystone and made the most of it, smashing a monstrous 454-foot solo shot off Colorado reliever Ryan Rolison for Boston's final run of the contest. Gonzalez is the short side of a platoon with David Hamilton but has been successful when in the lineup. Through 140 total plate appearances, the 28-year-old is slashing .326/.357/.566 with 25 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Anthony went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-3 victory over the Rockies.

The Boston rookie garnered the start at designated hitter and notched his second career three-hit performance in this contest. Anthony slugged a 418-foot long ball off Colorado southpaw Austin Gomber in the fifth to extend his team's lead to 5-1. The 21-year-old has caught fire over his last 10 games, hitting .386 (17-for-44) with a homer, five doubles, eight runs scored and six RBI while producing six multi-hit efforts.

Bright was reinstated from the 7-day injured list June 29.

Bright has made two appearances since returning from a strained right forearm. He's surrendered six runs (five earned) on five hits and five walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings at Double-A Chesapeake.

Fitts (1-3) earned the win in Monday's game against the Rockies, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk across 5.2 frames. He struck out six.

The 25-year-old finally picked up his first MLB win in his 12th career start despite entering this contest with a solid 3.33 ERA across 48.2 big-league innings. The lone run Fitts allowed in this outing came on a Brenton Doyle RBI single in the second, as the Boston right-hander conceded only one extra-base hit -- a double to his final batter faced, Thairo Estrada. In 33.2 innings this season, Fitts has pitched to a 4.28 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB. He is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Rays at home this weekend.

McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rays.

McKinstry launched his seventh home run of the season in the seventh inning, which was one of three Detroit long balls on the night. The veteran utility player continued his strong recent play, as he's now batting .344 over his last 10 games with three home runs, four RBI and eight runs scored. Overall, McKinstry is sporting a .285 batting average and an .819 OPS, both of which are significantly above his career marks of .233 and .678, respectively.

Keith went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rays.

Keith batted leadoff and delivered his second three-hit effort of the season, which included his seventh home run of the year. His other three-hit performance came just five days ago, and the 23-year-old is now batting a robust .450 this month with five extra-base knocks across six games. The left-hand hitting Keith is still sitting regularly against southpaws, but the youngster is developing into a dynamic offensive player when facing righties.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 5-1 victory over the Rays.

Baez took Tampa Bay starter Shane Baz deep in the second inning to open the game's scoring. With that long ball, the 32-year-old reached double-digit homers for the seventh time in his career, his first time reaching that mark since 2022 -- his first season in Detroit. Through 273 total plate appearances, Baez is now slashing .279/.315/.453 with 41 runs scored and 39 RBI, as he's set to make his third All-Star appearance next week.
