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.

George (knee) is slashing .333/.455/.407 with a 6:8 BB:K and four stolen bases in seven games since being reinstated from Double-A Tulsa's 7-day injured list July 4.

After sustaining an injury to his left patellar tendon May 25 while jumping out of the way to avoid Tulsa's bat-retrieving dog, George had been expected to be out through the All-Star break. The 21-year-old outfielder ended up recovering quicker than expected, however, as he was given the green light to rejoin Tulsa earlier this month after completing a five-game rehab assignment at Single-A Ontario. George has remained active on the basepaths since returning to action and has now gone 33-for-38 on stolen-base attempts for the season over his 55 games between Tulsa and Ontario.

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.

Devenski (illness) was sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Devenski has been sidelined since early May due to an undisclosed illness, but he's finally been cleared to participate in games. Given the length of his absence, the veteran reliever will likely require a handful of rehab outings before rejoining the Pirates' active roster.

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.

Pederson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-3 loss to the White Sox.

Pederson led off the bottom of the first inning with the blast, the second time in three games he's opened with a homer. He's belted eight home runs over the last 18 contests and 17 for the season.
