Detroit placed Vest on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lower leg strain.

Vest suffered the injury in Monday's series opener against the Rangers and will be sidelined through the All-Star break. He leaves behind a 2.73 ERA and 32:9 K:BB through 29.2 innings of work this season with the Tigers.

Misiewicz was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Misiewicz will join Detroit's major-league roster after the team claimed him off waivers from Arizona on June 18. The left-hander had struggled to a 5.63 ERA and 1.75 WHIP with six strikeouts over eight innings in seven appearances with the Diamondbacks before being designated for assignment June 12, but he'll look to turn it around with the Tigers.

Garcia (knee) is expected to avoid the injured list, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Garcia hasn't pitched since experiencing right knee discomfort during a relief appearance Saturday versus the Athletics, but he should be available again out of the Toronto bullpen within the next couple of days.

Rodriguez (shoulder) will make at least one more rehab appearance before being activated from the injured list, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Rodriguez struggled in his first two rehab outings at Triple-A Worcester before striking out three of the four total batters he faced there Sunday in a scoreless frame. He's been sidelined since the beginning of June due to left shoulder inflammation.

Schreiber (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Schreiber can't return from the 60-day injured list until after the All-Star break, but he should be ready around the time he's first eligible if all continues to go well with his throwing progression. He's been sidelined since mid-May because of a right teres major strain.

Pacheco underwent Tommy John surgery, Baseball America reports.

It seemed like things were trending in this direction, as he suffered from elbow inflammation in spring training and was then placed on Detroit's 60-day injured list with an elbow strain in late March after getting claimed off waivers from St. Louis. Pacheco could return around midseason in 2024.

Minnesota recalled Ortega from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Ortega will return to the Twins' bullpen ahead of Tuesday night's game in Atlanta as Brock Stewart (elbow) heads to the injured list. Ortega, 26, got lit up in his previous major-league stint and figures to operate in a low-leverage role.

Minnesota placed Stewart on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

There is no timetable for Stewart's return to the Twins' bullpen, but for now it doesn't sound like an overly serious diagnosis. He's been brilliant so far this season, boasting a 0.70 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 25.2 innings of relief.

Seattle activated Gott (back) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Recovered from a three-week battle with lower back spasms, Gott will return to the Mariners' bullpen Tuesday night against the Nationals. Chris Flexen was designated for assignment in a corresponding roster move.

Fleming (elbow) resumed playing catch last week, MLB.com reports.

When Fleming initially landed on the 15-day injured list June 2 with left elbow soreness, the Rays had feared that the southpaw could be a candidate for season-ending surgery. Fortunately for Fleming, a follow-up MRI revealed only cartilage damage and inflammation, as his left elbow was deemed to be structurally sound. He'll ultimately be sidelined until at least late July after he was moved to the 60-day IL, but since he's already throwing again, Fleming looks as though he'll have a chance at being ready for activation when first eligible.
