Austin Warren RP | NYM
Mets' Austin Warren: Out with strained forearm
The Mets placed Warren on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right forearm strain.
The injury could help explain Warren's recent struggles, as he's coughed up nine runs over his last two outings. Prior to those two appearances, Warren had posted a 2.45 ERA and 36:16 K:BB over 33 innings. The Mets haven't provided a timeline for Warren's return, but the nature of the injury suggests he'll be in store for longer than a minimum-length absence.

Mets' Xzavion Curry: Contract selected
The Mets selected Curry's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.
Curry began the season in the Mexican League before signing with the Mets in May and being assigned to Syracuse, where he logged a 4.74 ERA and 32:12 K:BB over 49.1 innings. He'll give the Mets' bullpen some much-needed length after the club yielded 16 runs in Tuesday's loss to the Royals.

Matt Gage RP | SF
Giants' Matt Gage: Diagnosed with flexor strain
Gage will be re-evaluated in one month after an MRI revealed a moderate left flexor strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
There was some fear that the injury could be worse, so the diagnosis is relatively good news for the southpaw. Gage will be given a platelet-rich plasma injection before resting, and he could rejoin the Giants' bullpen before the end of this season if all goes well. He holds a 5.60 ERA and 22:17 K:BB across 27.1 frames this season.

Phil Maton RP | CHC
Cubs' Phil Maton: Starting up rehab assignment
Maton (knee) will report to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Maton has been on the shelf since June 26 due to right knee tendinitis but appears to be nearing a return from the 15-day injured list. He'll likely make a couple appearances with Iowa through the end of the week before rejoining the Chicago bullpen coming out of the All-Star break.

Mets' Austin Warren: Heading to injured list
Warren will be placed on the 15-day injured list before Wednesday's game versus the Royals, Tim Britton and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.
The specifics of the injury haven't been revealed, but Warren will undergo testing Wednesday. The reliever has been knocked around for nine runs while recording six outs over his last two appearances. It's unclear who will take Warren's spot on the active roster for the Mets.

Gabriel Hughes SP | COL
Rockies' Gabriel Hughes: First MLB start on tap
Hughes will start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Following his call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque last week, Hughes made his MLB debut out of the bullpen Friday, collecting a save while allowing three baserunners over three scoreless frames. The 24-year-old righty will now get the chance to make his first big-league start, joining the Colorado rotation as a replacement for the injured Tomoyuki Sugano (back). Prior to his promotion, Hughes had been working out of the Albuquerque rotation and posted a strong 48:11 K:BB in 40.2 innings, though pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League inflated his ERA (5.31) and WHIP (1.29).

Justin Bruihl RP | STL
Cardinals' Justin Bruihl: Back in action Tuesday
Bruihl (ankle) logged two scoreless innings in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
Bruihl had to be lifted from an outing Monday with a right ankle sprain, but he bounced back quickly and was available for the Cardinals' next game. Though he got off to a slow start this season, the lefty reliever has settled in nicely with a 1.31 ERA and 16:4 K:BB over 20.2 innings covering his last 15 appearances.
