  • Trevor Gott RP | WAS

    Giants' Trevor Gott: Lands on IL

    Gott (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Gott was pulled from Monday night's contest due to injury, and the team later disclosed that the right-hander suffered a right elbow strain. A timetable for his return has yet to be revealed.

  • Joe Harvey RP | ATL

    Rockies' Joe Harvey: Quick return to minors

    Harvey was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    Harvey was called up ahead of Monday's matchup, though he'll head right back to Triple-A without stepping onto a big-league mound. He figures to rejoin the Rockies in September when rosters expand.

  • Rico Garcia RP | BAL

    Rockies' Rico Garcia: Promoted to big leagues

    Garica had his contract selected from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    Garcia will toe the rubber Tuesday against Boston after being promoted to the majors. It will be his big-league debut. Chad Bettis (hip) was moved to the 60-day injured list to create room on the 40-man roster.

  • Edwin Diaz RP | LAD

    Mets' Edwin Diaz: May be available Tuesday

    Diaz (neck) will throw off a mound prior to Tuesday's game to determine his availability against the Cubs, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Diaz was unavailable to pitch Sunday due to right trapezius tightness, but after benefitting from a scheduled off day Monday, he could be ready to roll for Tuesday's series opener. The Mets should provide an update on Diaz's status shortly after his throwing session.

  • Tyler Kinley RP | DET

    Marlins' Tyler Kinley: Quick return to majors

    Kinley was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

    Kinley was demoted to the minors Sunday, but with Austin Brice (forearm) landing on the injured list, he'll be allowed to rejoin the big-league squad immediately. He owns a 4.14 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with a 35:29 K:BB over 37 innings this season with Miami.

  • Nationals' Austen Williams: Meeting with doctors in Washington

    Williams (shoulder) is set to meet with team doctors in Washington on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

    Williams has been sidelined since April 19 due to a sprained right AC joint, and he doesn't appear all that close to returning. It's unclear if he'll pitch again this season.

  • Trevor Gott RP | WAS

    Giants' Trevor Gott: Dealing with forearm tightness

    Gott was diagnosed with right forearm tightness after he was removed from his relief appearance Monday in the Giants' 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. He retired two hitters and was charged with two runs on one hit and two walks before departing.

    Manager Bruce Bochy said Gott would be unavailable for at least a few days while the right-hander undergoes further diagnostic testing as the Giants look to determine the severity of his injury. Considering Gott already missed time this season due to a forearm strain, he'll likely require another stint on the 10-day injured list, even if follow-up tests reveal no structural damage to his elbow. The hard-throwing 27-year-old owns a modest 4.44 ERA on the season but has supported it with a strong 1.10 WHIP and 18.7 K-BB% in 52.2 innings.

  • Rico Garcia RP | BAL

    Rockies' Rico Garcia: Likely starter Tuesday with callup

    The Rockies will select Garcia's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, William Boor of MLB.com reports. He's expected to draw the start in his major-league debut.

    One of the more well-regarded arms in the Colorado system, Garcia's long-term fantasy outlook is hindered by calling Coors Field his home park. The 25-year-old won't be eased into the majors with a soft outing, as he'll draw a home start against a Red Sox offense that ranks fifth in the big leagues in terms of wRC+ (111). The right-hander, who posted a 4.23 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 132:47 K:BB across 123.1 innings between Albuquerque and Double-A Hartford, will assume the rotation spot of German Marquez (arm), who was placed on the 10-day injured list a day earlier.

  • Alex Young RP | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Alex Young: Gets second straight win

    Young (6-3) picked up the win against the Giants on Monday, giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits over 5.1 innings, striking out four and walking two as the Diamondbacks prevailed 6-4.

    Young followed up a quality start in his last outing against the Rockies with another solid effort, and was rewarded with his sixth win of the season. He's posted a few clunkers, but Young has mostly held his own in his 54.1 big-league innings this season, as he's sporting a 3.81 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB. He'll take the mound next in a tough matchup against the Dodgers at home on Sunday.

  • Tyler Beede RP | CHC

    Giants' Tyler Beede: Takes loss despite solid start

    Beede (3-8) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Monday, giving up three runs (one earned) on six hits over 5.2 innings, striking out four and walking none in a 6-4 defeat for the Giants.

    It was the best stat line for the 26-year-old since his eight-inning shutout of the Mets on July 19, but he still wound up taking his eighth loss of the season as an error by his defense led to a pair of unearned runs. It was a nice outing, but Beede has done little of fantasy relevance this season, as he's still sporting a bloated 5.56 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 92.1 innings.
