Brewers' Grant Anderson: Goes on IL with ankle injury
The Brewers placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right ankle tendinitis.
He'll be eligible to return Sept. 8, but it's unclear if Anderson will be ready to go by that date. The right-handed reliever has pitched well out of the Brewers bullpen this season, posting a 2.87 ERA and 66:27 K:BB over 62.2 innings.

Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Seeking second opinion on elbow
Garcia is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister in the coming days to receive a second opinion on his right elbow injury, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Garcia was placed on the injured list July 5 after experiencing nerve symptoms in his right elbow, and though he had been cleared to start throwing, the 35-year-old hasn't been bouncing back from his workouts as quickly as anticipated. The upcoming consultation with Dr. Meister should provide more insight into the nature of Garcia's injury as well as a treatment plan, but even if he receives good news from the meeting, the right-hander's return to the Toronto bullpen shouldn't be viewed as imminent.

Blue Jays' Nick Sandlin: Hits snag in recovery process
Sandlin rejoined the Blue Jays in Toronto on Monday after he experienced some discomfort in his right elbow when he recently played catch out to 120 feet, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The Blue Jays will reassess Sandlin before determining his next steps, but the organization is hopeful that his setback is a minor one that won't result in a prolonged shutdown from the throwing. The reliever has resided on the 15-day injured list since July 8 due to right elbow inflammation.

Nationals' Jake Eder: Shelved at Triple-A
Triple-A Rochester placed Eder on its 7-day injured list Aug. 5 due to an unspecified injury.
Acquired from the Angels on July 30, Eder reported to Triple-A Rochester following the trade but has yet to make his organizational debut while he recovers from an injury. The Nationals haven't provided a timeline for Eder's return to the mound, making it uncertain whether he'll pitch again in 2025.

Angels' Sam Bachman: Back in majors
The Angels recalled Bachman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Bachman has made 18 relief appearances for the Halos this season, putting up a 5.02 ERA and 13:6 K:BB over 14.1 innings. He might be on the active roster for only a few days after Tyler Anderson (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding transaction.

Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Set for Tuesday activation
Cruz (oblique) said that he will be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said over the weekend that Cruz would be reinstated either Sunday or Monday, but the team now plans to wait and extra day before adding the reliever back to the 26-man active roster. Out since late June due to a left oblique strain, Cruz has posted a 3.00 ERA and 41.2 percent strikeout rate this season.

Jose Castillo RP | BAL
Mets' Jose Castillo: Back with big club
The Mets selected Castillo's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
Castillo was outrighted off the 40-man roster earlier this month, but he's getting another shot in the majors after allowing just one run with a 9:1 K:BB over his last 5.1 innings with Syracuse. The lefty reliever holds a 5.30 ERA and 20:9 K:BB across 18.2 frames at the big-league level this season between the Diamondbacks and Mets.
