  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Ready for rehab assignment

    Gurriel (adductor) has been sent to Triple-A Reno to begin a rehab assignment.

    Gurriel landed on the 10-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break, but he's ready to test things out in games after going through workouts at the Diamondbacks' spring training facility in Arizona. He should be ready to rejoin the active roster later this month. What's unclear is what Gurriel's role will be upon return, as the Diamondbacks traded for Lars Nootbaar and got Jordan Lawlar back from injury after Gurriel was hurt.

  • Giants' Jesus Rodriguez: Nearing rehab assignment

    Rodriguez (elbow) will start a rehab assignment this week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Rodriguez has been on the 10-day injured list since Aug. 1 due to right elbow neuritis, and he's ready to take the next step in his recovery program by playing in minor-league games. Per Pavlovic, the plan for Rodriguez is to see more work as an infielder once he's cleared to return from the IL.

    Dodgers' Bobby Miller: Covers three innings in rehab

    Miller (shoulder) struck out three and allowed two hits and one walk over three scoreless innings in a rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Miller has made all but one of his 37 career big-league appearances as a starter, but he looks to be preparing for a relief role during his rehab assignment. While he's covered multiple innings in each of his first three rehab outings, he's been used out of the bullpen for the last two appearances. The 27-year-old righty has been on the shelf all season while recovering from shoulder and back injuries and may need another tune-up outing or two in the minors before potentially joining the Los Angeles bullpen.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: Minimum IL stint possible

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Fried (elbow) could return from the injured list immediately after he completes the required 15-day stay, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Fried landed on the 15-day IL on Monday with a left elbow bone bruise, which is the same issue that caused him to miss more than two months earlier this season. It seems the injury is less serious this time around, with Boone indicating the IL move was precautionary. Fried played catch Tuesday and will ramp up his throwing as tolerated. It's unclear at this point whether the left-hander will make a rehab start before rejoining the Yankees' rotation.

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Wilson (shoulder) is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Royals on Tuesday.

    Wilson was scrapped from Monday's lineup due to shoulder soreness, and the 24-year-old shortstop will be out of the A's starting nine for a second consecutive day. Darell Hernaiz will get the nod at shortstop Tuesday and bat ninth.

  • Aaron Judge RF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Starting hitting progression this week

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Judge (ribs) will begin a hitting progression this week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Judge has been playing catch and running, as well as "doing swing-related stuff in the pool" the last couple days, per Boone. The three-time MVP will begin a hitting progression this week as he continues to work his way back from a stress fracture in his rib. A timeline for Judge's return hasn't been established yet, but he appears to be making incremental steps in the right direction.

  • Cole Irvin RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Cole Irvin: Stays in Dodgers organization

    The Dodgers outrighted Irvin to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 6.

    After being called up from Oklahoma City on July 31, Irvin made a six-inning relief appearance in a loss to the Red Sox before being dropped from the 40-man roster a day later. Rather than opting to become a free agent, the 32-year-old lefty has settled back into the rotation at Oklahoma City. He's given up two runs while striking out 11 batters over 11.2 innings in two starts since returning to Triple-A.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Out with shoulder strain

    The Rockies placed Goodman on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 15, due to a left shoulder strain.

    The 26-year-old hasn't seen the field since Wednesday due to shoulder inflammation and will be sidelined for at least another week after being diagnosed with a strain. Brett Sullivan has been operating as Colorado's primary backstop with Goodman banged up, and Braxton Fulford was called up Tuesday to fill the backup job.

  • Austin Wynns C | TEX

    Rangers' Austin Wynns: DFA'd by Rangers

    The Rangers designated Wynns for assignment Tuesday.

    Danny Jansen (forearm) is back from the injured list, and the Rangers have elected to keep Elias Diaz around as his backup rather than Wynns. Wynns has slashed only .146/.195/.183 in 34 games for three different big-league clubs in 2026.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Rangers' Danny Jansen: Activated off 60-day IL

    The Rangers activated Jansen (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Jansen is finally ready to rejoin the Rangers after missing more than two months with a right forearm strain. The veteran catcher slashed .188/.291/.312 with three homers in 46 games before getting hurt and went 5-for-15 in five rehab contests. Though Jansen will likely receive the bulk of the reps at catcher for the Rangers down the stretch, he could be eased back into a full workload after missing so much time.
