The Rockies placed Criswell on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder strain.

Criswell gave up two earned runs in two innings Friday in what was his first appearance since returning to the majors last Saturday, but the Rockies will now be without his services until at least Aug. 2. His roster spot will be filled by Tomoyuki Sugano (back), who was reinstated from the injured list to start Saturday's game against the Reds.

The Rangers recalled Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

After making just one prior appearance with the big-league club this season back on June 23, Corniell is back with Texas. With Round Rock, the 23-year-old posted a 6.37 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 27:16 K:BB in 35.1 innings. The Rangers optioned Emiliano Teodo to make room for Corniell on the active roster.

The Rangers activated Junis (hip) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Junis will make his way back after recently being placed on the injured list July 4. Before missing time, the 33-year-old posted a 2.80 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB through 35.1 innings. To make room for Junis on the active roster, Texas optioned Gavin Collyer to Triple-A.

The Yankees signed Hanner to a major-league contract and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

After exercising an opt-out with the club Monday, Hanner is back with the Yankees, joining the 40-man roster and making his way back down to Triple-A. With Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, the 27-year-old has posted a 1.99 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB through 40.2 innings. To make room for Hanner on the 40-man roster, the Yankees transferred Aaron Judge (ribs) to the 60-day injured list.

The Blue Jays optioned Macko to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Over his last four appearances out of the bullpen, Macko has been roughed up to say the least. The 25-year-old allowed nine earned runs over five innings, after previously recording three scoreless outings initially upon his return to the big-league club June 26. Toronto recalled Lazaro Estrada to take Macko's spot on the active roster for the time being.

The Blue Jays recalled Little from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

After appearing in 79 games for the big-league club last regular season, Little has appeared in just six games with Toronto in 2026 as he makes his way back up to the major leagues. With Buffalo, the 29-year-old has posted a 7-1 record alongside a 2.53 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 46:25 K:BB through 32 innings this season. The Blue Jays optioned CJ Van Eyk to make room for Little on the active roster.

The Blue Jays recalled Estrada from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Estrada will make his way back to Toronto after making just one appearance with the big-league club after being reinstated from the injured list June 20. With Buffalo, the 27-year-old appeared in eight games, registering a 3.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB in 18 innings. The Blue Jays optioned Adam Macko after a rough stretch out of the bullpen to make room for Estrada on the active roster.

The Pirates reinstated Dotel (lat) from the injured list Saturday and appointed him as their 27th man for the team's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Dotel landed on the injured list June 13 with a right lat strain. Since then, he's made three rehab appearances in the minors, giving up one run on three hits and three walks while fanning seven batters in 4.2 innings. Now fully healthy, he'll help the Pirates' bullpen get through Saturday's twin bill before likely heading back to Triple-A Indianapolis.

The Guardians appointed Allen as their 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates in Cleveland, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Allen is set to start the nightcap while Gavin Williams gets the call to start the first game of Saturday's twin bill. Allen tallied seven strikeouts while giving up two unearned runs in four innings during his lone major-league outing of the season May 25 against Washington. Since then, he's turned in a 3.43 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 42 frames at Triple-A Columbus.

Gomez gave up a walk and collected a strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning to collect his 12th save of the season in Friday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

Gomez walked Ian Happ to lead off the inning but retired the next three batters he faced to lock down the Twins' first win of the second half. The 26-year-old has benefited heavily from a change of scenery this season, posting a 1.65 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 27.1 innings since moving from the Rays to the Twins in May.
