  • Cole Carrigg CF | COL

    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: First day off

    Carrigg is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    It's the first day off for Carrigg, who had started each of the Rockies' last 13 contests upon his promotion to the big leagues. Jake McCarthy will slide over to center field and will be flanked by Mickey Moniak in left field and Tyler Freeman in right field.

  • DL Hall RP | MIL

    Brewers' DL Hall: Hopes to be cleared to throw

    Hall (pectoral) hopes to gain clearance to resume throwing during a checkup Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Hall has been sidelined for most of June with a left pectoral strain, and he was given an anti-inflammatory injection last week. If the shot did its job, Hall should be ready to resume a throwing program. The southpaw is targeting a late-July return.

  • Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Timeline pushed back

    Lockridge's timeline for a return has been pushed back to late July after imaging showed a chondral flap in his right patella, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Lockridge landed on the 10-day injured list in early May with a right knee laceration, but subsequent testing revealed that he also has cartilage damage. He will have arthroscopic surgery on the knee and is now expected to be shelved until after the All-Star break.

  • Coleman Crow SP | MIL

    Brewers' Coleman Crow: Resuming mound work

    Crow (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    It appears to be the first time Crow has thrown off the bump since he suffered a mild right flexor strain earlier this month. Crow should be ready for a rehab assignment before long, but he might be sent to Triple-A Nashville rather than rejoin the big-league club once he's deemed ready for activation.

  • Brewers' Logan Henderson: Targeting rehab start this weekend

    Henderson (back) is aiming to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Henderson has been shelved for the past month with a lower-back strain, but he's advanced his recovery to the point that a rehab start is imminent. The right-hander will likely require multiple rehab outings before rejoining the Brewers around the All-Star break if all goes well.

  • Brewers' Peter Strzelecki: Back with Brewers on MiLB deal

    The Brewers signed Strzelecki to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    Strzelecki opted out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees last week after holding a 4.81 ERA and 29:5 K:BB over 24.1 frames at the Triple-A level this season. The 31-year-old came up through the Brewers' minor-league system and first reached the majors with them in 2022, so it's a homecoming of sorts for Strzelecki.

  • Mitch Bratt SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Mitch Bratt: Poised for MLB debut Wednesday

    Bratt has joined the Diamondbacks' taxi squad and is expected to be called up from Triple-A Reno to make his major-league debut Wednesday in St. Louis, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Bratt has logged a 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB over 44.1 innings covering 11 starts this season with Reno. The left-hander recently returned from a brief stint on Reno's 7-day injured list due to a back injury and threw just 48 pitches over four frames in his most recent start last Wednesday, so he won't have a full workload at his disposal in St. Louis. Bratt is filling the rotation spot vacated by Michael Soroka (glute), and Bratt could receive at least one additional start beyond Wednesday while Soroka recovers.

  • Brandon Marsh LF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Strong campaign continues

    Marsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

    That makes it five homers during the month of June for Marsh, who continues to serve as a key cog in the heart of Philadelphia's lineup this season. Through 282 plate appearances, the 28-year-old outfielder is slashing a strong .311/.344/.489 with 10 long balls, 36 RBI, seven stolen bases and 41 runs scored.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Reaches base three times Monday

    Wood went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Phillies.

    The star outfielder scored multiple runs for the fifth time in the last 12 games as he continues to be an effective table-setter for the Nationals. Over that stretch, Wood is slashing .319/.382/.596 with four doubles, three homers, two steals, nine RBI and 12 runs, and his 70 runs on the season doesn't just lead the majors, it's 14 ahead of the second-place duo of Nick Kurtz and Brice Turang.

  • Tanner Gordon RP | COL

    Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Rehab start coming Wednesday

    Gordon (hip) is slated to make a rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Gordon threw three innings of live batting practice Saturday without issue, so he'll move on to the final step of his recovery from a right hip impingement by heading out on a rehab assignment. Assuming that the right-hander is able to build up to around five innings or 70 pitches in his start Wednesday, Gordon could get the green light to return from the 15-day injured list next week. Once he's activated, Gordon will likely be plugged into the rotation spot that currently belongs to Sean Sullivan, who has posted a 10.29 ERA and 1.86 WHIP through his first two big-league starts.
