Colome made his pro debut July 3 in the Dominican Summer League after being sidelined by a testicular injury to start the year, Mark Chiarelli of Baseball America reports.

One of the most highly-anticipated prospects from this year's Jan. 15 signing class, Colome hasn't generated the same buzz as classmates Luis Hernandez of the Giants or Angeibel Gomez of the Royals, as he was missing in action and is hitting .156 in a tiny 10-game sample since getting healthy. In this 45 plate-appearance sample, Colome's 5.1 percent swinging strike rate, 24.4 percent walk rate and five steals stand out as strengths, while his 52.2 percent groundball rate and .094 ISO highlight areas needing improvement.

Ellwanger had Tommy John surgery May 24, Ian Cundall of Baseball America reports.

The 6-foot-4 righty suffered a right elbow sprain in April and it led to the worst-case scenario, which should sideline Ellwanger until at least the second half of 2027. The 88th overall pick in 2025 out of Dallas Baptist, Ellwanger was given an easy assignment to Single-A Fort Myers, but he did not allow a run while striking out 15 in 11.2. innings across his first three pro starts before suffering the injury.

Soto's (wrist) rehab assignment was paused in mid-June after he experienced forearm soreness during a bullpen session, Ian Cundall of Baseball America reports.

Soto's wrist soreness cropped up when he was rehabbing August 2025 surgery to remove a partially detached bone spur in his elbow, and he missed the first two months of 2026 due to the wrist issue, only to have a more serious injury pop up while on his rehab assignment. Soto is a talented young pitcher and won't turn 21 until the end of August, but he has thrown only 15.2 innings since the start of the 2025 campaign after logging 74 innings in his debut season at Single-A in 2024.

Double-A Erie placed Penney on the full-season injured list June 12 with a left shoulder injury, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports.

Penney missed the first seven weeks of the season with a hand injury and suffered the shoulder injury on a diving play in the field while still on his rehab assignment June 4. Penney, who turns 24 in August, has yet to play above High-A but hit .364/.417/.636 with one home run in seven rehab games across rookie ball and High-A.

Triple-A Worcester placed La Sorsa on its 7-day injured list July 1 due to a concussion, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

After being acquired from the Pirates on June 4, La Sorsa made his Red Sox debut three days later before being optioned to Triple-A soon thereafter. The reliever went on to toss 6.1 scoreless innings over six appearances for Worcester before hitting the shelf.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that he expects Fried (elbow) to return from the injured list early next week against the White Sox.

Fried will make his second rehab start Wednesday and is slated to throw 60 pitches. As long as he bounces back well, he'll rejoin the Yankees' rotation as soon as next Monday. The left-hander has been sidelined since mid-May because of a bone bruise in his left elbow.

The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Gamboa was up with the Red Sox for just one day, as he served as the club's 27th man in Friday's doubleheader versus the Rays. He mopped up in the Red Sox's 10-0 win in the first game of the day, striking out a batter and allowing two hits and no walks over three scoreless innings en route to earning his first MLB save.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Montero will start Wednesday's series finale versus the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Jeff Seidel of the Detroit Free Press reports.

After entering the Detroit rotation in early April and submitting a 3.34 ERA over 15 starts, Montero was moved to the bullpen in late June once the Tigers got the likes of Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize and Jack Flaherty back from the injured list. Montero has taken well to the new relief role by delivering a 2.08 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB in 13 innings while notching two wins and one save over five appearances, but he'll temporarily slot back into the rotation while Hinch aims to build in extra rest for the team's other five starters amid a stretch of 13 games in 13 days. Hinch didn't commit to the six-man rotation lasting more than one turn, so Montero could shift back to the bullpen following Wednesday's start regardless of how he performs.

The White Sox will recall Quero from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Kyle Teel suffered a left ankle injury during Monday's game and was later spotted on crutches, so he's likely headed to the 10-day injured list. Quero was sent down in late June after slashing just .187/.253/.233 in his first 55 games, and he didn't fare much better at Charlotte with a .230/.299/.295 batting line in 15 contests. The switch-hitting catcher will likely share starts behind the dish with Drew Romo while Teel is sidelined.

Langford went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and was caught stealing in Monday's 10-3 loss to the White Sox.

Langford singled and stole second base in the first inning but was later gunned down attempting to steal third in the same frame. It was the first base-stealing activity for the outfielder since returning from a hamstring injury earlier this month and a sign that he's beyond the injury. Langford, who stole 19 and 22 bases the previous two seasons, has missed nearly two months of action in 2026 due to injuries and is up to seven steals (caught once) over 48 games.
