Brewers' Easton McGee: Returns from Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
McGee (elbow) has given up eight runs (seven earned) on 15 hits and no walks while striking out five over 8.2 innings across three appearances for Triple-A Nashville since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list July 21.
Before beginning a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in late June, McGee had been sidelined all season while he completed his recovery from his May 2023 Tommy John surgery. Though he's been knocked around a bit since finishing his rehab assignment and joining Nashville, McGee has been a victim of some bad luck, as he has yet to allow a home run or issue a walk in his 8.2 innings.

Mariners' Easton McGee: Sidelined with forearm strain
Rotowire
The Mariners placed McGee on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right forearm strain.
McGee's move to the IL comes after he was brilliant in a spot start for Seattle in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Toronto, as he twirled 6.2 innings of shutout baseball. The rookie right-hander's arm was apparently hurting after the effort, however, and he'll now be sidelined for at least two weeks while while recovering from the strain. Outfielder Taylor Trammell (wrist) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding transaction.

Mariners' Easton McGee: Called up for start Saturday
Rotowire
McGee was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and will start for the Mariners on Saturday in Toronto.
Chris Flexen had been listed as the probable starter for Seattle, but McGee will instead get the call against a dangerous Blue Jays lineup. The 25-year-old right-hander was sporting a 3.14 ERA and 24:9 K:BB through 28.2 innings (five starts) this season at the Triple-A level. He's an iffy fantasy bet in the afternoon matchup at Rogers Centre, but there could be more favorable assignments ahead if he sticks around in Flexen's rotation spot.

Rays' Easton McGee: Booted off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Rays designated McGee for assignment Monday.
Even though he impressed while working three innings and allowing an unearned run in long relief in his MLB debut during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Houston, McGee finds himself as the latest victim of Tampa Bay's continual roster churn. The Rays selected the contract of right-hander Kevin Herget to replace McGee in the bullpen.
