Seattle transferred Criswell (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster that the Mariners needed for Miles Mastrobuoni, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma after Julio Rodriguez (concussion) was placed on the 7-day IL. Criswell was diagnosed with a Grade-1 pectoral strain in mid-June but has since been tagged with a shoulder strain. The move to the 60-day IL doesn't change his projected return for early August, though a clearer timeline won't be established until Criswell embarks on a rehab assignment.

The Mariners selected Mastrobuoni's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Mastrobuoni was DFA'd by the Mariners in mid-June but is back with the big club to provide depth in the outfield after Julio Rodriguez (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list. Mastrobuoni has spent most of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a .603 OPS with five steals, one home run and three RBI over 71 plate appearances.

The Mariners placed Rodriguez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Friday.

The move to the 7-day IL was an expected one once Rodriguez entered the league's concussion protocol following Thursday's game against the Angels. He's eligible to be reinstated from the IL on July 10, but whether Rodriguez returns before the All-Star break will depend on how he progresses. In a corresponding move, the Mariners selected Miles Mastrobuoni's contract from Triple-A Tacoma and transferred Cooper Criswell (shoulder) to the 60-day IL.

Seigler is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Angels on Friday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Seigler has faced starting southpaws this season, but he will be on the bench for the beginning of Friday's contest while Romy Gonzalez starts at the keystone and bats sixth against Angels left-hander Reid Detmers. Seigler has gone 12-for-31 (.387) with one steal, four walks, one home run, three RBI and six runs scored over his last nine games.

Peraza is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Even with southpaw Jake Bennett on the mound for the Red Sox, the righty-hitting Peraza will be on the bench for the start of Friday's game while Vaughn Grissom starts at second base and bats fifth. Over his last seven outings, Peraza has gone 1-for-21 with one RBI, two runs and 10 strikeouts.

The Mariners are expected to place Rodriguez on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez entered the league's concussion protocol following Thursday's game against the Angels, after he was hit in the back of the helmet by a throw from Nolan Schanuel in the first inning. Rodriguez will need to move through multiple checkpoints before being cleared but will be eligible to be activated off the IL before the All-Star break. A corresponding move has yet to be announced, though Kremer notes that Miles Mastrobuoni has a locker ahead of Friday's series opener against the Blue Jays.

Heim is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Marlins on Friday.

With right-hander Tyler Phillips on the mound for the Marlins on Friday, the Athletics will respond by deploying the lefty-hitting Carlos Cortes as the designated hitter. Heim has gone 7-for-27 (.259) with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored over his last seven games, reaching base safely in six of those contests.

Muncy is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Marlins on Friday.

The Athletics will give the nod at third base to Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, who will bat fifth against Marlins right-hander Tyler Phillips in Friday's series opener. Muncy has reached base safely in each of his last eight games, going 8-for-28 (.286) with one steal, three walks, one home run and four RBI in that span.

The Athletics reinstated Leiter (hip) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Leiter was placed on the 15-day IL on June 18 due to a right hip impingement. He's been cleared to return to the majors without embarking on a rehab assignment and will reclaim his spot in the A's bullpen. Geoff Hartlieb was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Feduccia is not in Tampa Bay's starting lineup against Houston on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Feduccia will be on the bench for Friday's contest while Nick Fortes starts behind home plate and bats ninth while forming a battery with right-hander Nick Martinez. Feduccia is coming off a three-hit game against the Royals on Thursday and has a .638 OPS with one home run and nine RBI across 120 plate appearances this season.
