Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Yarbrough is a candidate to enter the rotation after Carlos Carrasco was designated for assignment Tuesday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Boone also mentioned Allan Winans as a rotation option, at least until Marcus Stroman (knee) is ready to return from the 15-day injured list. Yarbrough has been solid in one start and eight relief outings this season, posting a 3.72 ERA and 18:9 K:BB across 19.1 frames. His last appearance was as a starter, and he went 4.1 innings and threw 64 pitches, so the southpaw is already fairly stretched out. The Yankees have a potential opening in their rotation later this week, although they could go with a four-man rotation until next week.

The Yankees recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

De Los Santos spun two scoreless innings in his lone appearance with the Yankees last month. The right-hander will provide manager Aaron Boone with a fresh bullpen arm.

The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Louisville on Thursday but will be able to quickly rejoin the Reds since Tyler Callihan (forearm) was placed on the injured list. Richardson has appeared in two games for Cincinnati this year and has allowed one earned run with a 2:1 K:BB over four innings.

The Rangers granted Strickland his release Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The right-hander signed a minor-league contract with Texas in March but struggled in 12 appearances with Triple-A Round Rock, as he had an 8.22 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 15.1 innings. Strickland recorded 12 holds with a 3.31 ERA in 72 appearances with the Angels last season, so he could land another minor-league deal.

The Guardians recalled Kent from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

He'll be the club's 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Nationals. Kent made his major-league debut with the Guardians last month, allowing one run over a three-inning relief appearance. He's likely to be returned to Columbus following the twin bill.

Birdsong was charged with five runs (one earned) on two walks and two hits over one-third of an inning during Monday's 9-2 loss to the Cubs.

Birdsong entered the game in the sixth frame with the Giants trailing 4-2. The 23-year-old gave up his second home run of the season to the first batter he faced and issued two free passes for the second time in the 2025 campaign. However, San Francisco also committed two of its four errors while Birdsong was on the mound. The right-hander has now allowed three earned runs this season, recording a 1.47 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 19:8 K:BB over 18.1 innings in nine appearances.

The Dodgers recalled Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Feyereisen was scooped up off waivers last week and will now provide a fresh arm in the Dodgers' bullpen. The right-hander made 10 appearances for the Dodgers last season, holding an 8.18 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 11 innings.

The Dodgers designated Gomez for assignment Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Gomez was claimed off waivers in late April and had been torched for seven runs over his last two appearances. His spot on the 26-man roster will be filled by J.P. Feyereisen.

The Nationals recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Brzykcy will serve as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians. The 25-year-old began the season on the 15-day injured list with a quad strain, but he's healthy now and has yielded just two runs with a 14:3 K:BB over 7.2 innings in the minors in 2025.

The Rays recalled Sulser from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll absorb the roster spot vacated by Hunter Bigge (lat), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Sulser was roughed up for two runs on four hits and one walk over one inning in his lone appearance with the Rays earlier this season.
