MLB Player News

Caglianone was removed from Tuesday's game against the Giants with right shoulder soreness.

Caglianone was visibly shaken up after making a diving attempt to catch a ball in the fifth inning. More details regarding the severity of his injury should be announced in the near future, and Tyler Tolbert figures to be the next man up to start in the outfield if Caglianone is unable to play Wednesday.

Jung was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with left calf tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The severity of Jung's injury remains unknown, but the Rangers will likely provide an update once they take a closer look at him. If Jung ends up needing to miss additional starts, Nicky Lopez would likely receive the largest increase in playing time.

Kikuchi (shoulder) is expected to throw another live session this weekend, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Kikuchi threw 34 pitches to Wade Meckler and Denzer Guzman on Tuesday, and he said that he felt great afterward. The southpaw has been out since late April while recovering from left shoulder inflammation, and he is expected to start a minor-league rehab assignment after he completes his next live batting practice session.

The Tigers placed Flaherty on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right flexor strain.

Flaherty's injury may have played a part in his performance during his start Monday, in which he gave up three earned runs in just four innings against the Cubs. He'll now be forced to miss a few turns through the rotation while he recovers, and the Tigers will bring Ty Madden up from Triple-A to add some extra depth to their bullpen.

The Tigers recalled Madden from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

With Jack Flaherty landing on the injured list with right flexor inflammation, Madden will join the Tigers' bullpen to give the team another multi-inning relief option. The 26-year-old righty owns a 4.71 ERA in 42 innings at Toledo but has been far more successful in the majors, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP alongside a 23:5 K:BB across 20 innings.

Cole will take the mound in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Cole recorded his second straight quality start in his last outing, tossing six innings of two-run ball against the Dodgers on Friday. After a pair of disappointing starts in late June, the right-hander has posted a 3.63 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in his last three turns in the rotation. Cole hasn't turned in a scoreless outing since he recorded back-to-back scoreless starts upon his return from the IL in late May, and Wednesday will be a tough test against a red-hot Pirates offense that has scored five or more runs in five of their last eight contests.

Clase was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay due to pain in his foot, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The severity of Clase's injury is still unknown, but it will prevent him from taking the field Tuesday. The Blue Jays should provide more information on his status in the near future; meanwhile, Myles Straw will fill in as Toronto's left fielder.

Fried (elbow) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list and start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Fried was set to make a second rehab start Wednesday, and he was expected to throw 60 pitches in the outing according to manager Aaron Boone. The southpaw will instead return to a major-league mound for the first time since suffering a left elbow bone bruise in mid-May. Fried has posted an impressive 3.21 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 50 strikeouts over 61.2 innings in 10 starts this season, so he'll be a welcomed addition to fantasy rotations, though it may take a few outings for him to work up to his regular workload.

The Rangers transferred Beeks (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

It was announced July 4 that Beeks would miss the rest of the 2026 season due to requiring season-ending surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his left forearm.

The Rangers selected Wynns' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

With Kyle Higashioka (forearm) landing on the injured list Tuesday, the Rangers will turn to Wynns to bolster their depth behind the plate. The 35-year-old backstop has just four hits in 53 big-league at-bats this season, but he's slashed .289/.413/.474 at Triple-A since signing a minor-league deal with Texas in late June. He'll presumably serve as the backup to Elias Diaz while Higashioka and Danny Jansen (forearm) are on the shelf.
