  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Earns third win

    Estevez (3-2) earned a win against Pittsburgh on Tuesday. He allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and did not record a strikeout.

    Estevez worked around a one-out double by Ke'Bryan Hayes to keep the score 3-3 before the Royals walked it off in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was Estevez's first win since May 25, and he has thrown two shutout frames since allowing a run against Seattle on July 3. He dropped his ERA to 2.67 with a 32:14 K:BB across 39 frames.

  • Nick Sandlin RP | DET

    Blue Jays' Nick Sandlin: Placed on 15-day IL

    Sandlin (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Sandlin returned to action June 20 after missing two months with a right lat strain, posting a 2.16 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with six strikeouts over 8.1 innings in nine appearances out of the bullpen. He will now likely be sidelined for another prolonged period of time as he deals with a second injury to his throwing arm, the elbow in this instance. Justin Bruihl was called up from Triple-A Buffalo to replace Sandlin on the major-league roster.

  • Justin Bruihl RP | STL

    Blue Jays' Justin Bruihl: Back with Jays

    The Blue Jays recalled Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A on Friday, but with Nick Sandlin (elbow) moving to the IL, the Jays will bring the former back into their big-league bullpen. Bruihl has given up one run in 3.1 innings over his four MLB outings this season and is likely ticketed for a middle-relief role while with Toronto.

  • Victor Mederos RP | ATL

    Angels' Victor Mederos: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Mederos to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Mederos was recalled Monday but saw no action with the big club before being sent back down Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the Angels recalled Sam Aldegheri from Double-A Rocket City.

  • Alex Lange RP | KC

    Tigers' Alex Lange: Pulled off rehab assignment

    Lange has been pulled off his rehab assignment due to mild tightness in his surgically repaired right lat, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Monday that "it's not a setback" with Lange, but "just a delay." Lange has allowed just one run with a 9:1 K:BB over 6.2 rehab innings and seems close to activation from the 60-day injured list, but now his timeline is up in the air.

  • Clayton Beeter RP | WAS

    Yankees' Clayton Beeter: Rejoins big club

    The Yankees recalled Beeter from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

    The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday but is quickly back with the Yankees since Mark Leiter (leg) was placed on the injured list. Beeter allowed three earned runs over 1.2 frames during his lone appearance in the majors this season.

  • Mark Leiter RP | ATH

    Yankees' Mark Leiter: Placed on 15-day injured list

    The Yankees placed Leiter on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left fibular head stress fracture.

    Per Max Goodman of NJ.com, Leiter felt a pop in his left leg when he was running to cover first base in a game versus the Reds back on June 24. He had made four appearances since then, but testing revealed the stress fracture. It's not clear how long Leiter might be out, but it's likely to be longer than a minimum stay on the IL.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Throwing off mound soon

    Suarez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session later this week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    It will be his first time throwing from the bump since going down with a right shoulder strain in late March. Suarez is hoping to contribute to the Orioles at some point after the All-Star break, but he still has numerous boxes to check.

  • Liam Hendriks RP | CHC

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Red Sox transferred Hendriks (hip) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Hendriks recently suffered a setback with his right hip injury and is seeking a second opinion. He's been out since late May and now won't be eligible for activation until late July. The move frees a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Isaiah Campbell.

  • Red Sox's Isaiah Campbell: Contract selected

    The Red Sox selected Campbell's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

    Campbell holds a 3.89 ERA and 33:11 K:BB over 39.1 frames this season with Worcester. The 27-year-old will give Boston a fresh bullpen arm.
