  • Victor Vodnik RP | COL

    Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Five-out save

    Vodnik allowed one hit and struck out three across 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the save Tuesday against the Cardinals.

    Vodnik took over for starter Kyle Freeland in the eighth inning with runners on first and second, but he struck out both of the batters he faced to get out of the inning. He then had a routine ninth inning to earn his third save of the season. This was Colorado's first converted save since Seth Halvorsen (elbow) landed on the 15-day injured list, so Vodnik appears to be the team's top choice to handle closer duties. His ability to hang onto the role should be in question, however, as he has allowed at least one earned run in five of his last eight appearances.

  • Jesus Tinoco RP | MIA

    Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Pulled off throwing program

    The Marlins shut Tinoco (forearm) down from throwing Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Tinoco wasn't bouncing back from a throwing session the way the team had hoped, so Miami has shut him down for the time being. A new timeline for the 30-year-old's recovery should emerge once the Marlins re-evaluate him, though there's a good chance his setback will delay his return until late August or September.

  • Brock Stewart RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Brock Stewart: Placed on 15-day IL

    Stewart was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Tuesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

    Stewart last appeared in a contest Saturday, pitching a scoreless inning while allowing one walk and striking out a batter versus the Blue Jays. It's unclear if the shoulder inflammation was a result of that appearance, or if it was something he had previously been dealing with. Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that the team "caught it early," and that the reliever would undergo additional testing Wednesday.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Gearing up as bulk reliever

    Suarez (shoulder) began his rehab assignment Tuesday night at Double-A Chesapeake, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Tuesday's appearance marks Suarez's return to game action after he was placed on the injured list March 28. Although he served as the starter Tuesday, the Orioles are building the right-hander up for a bulk-relief role.

  • Shaun Anderson RP | LAA

    Angels' Shaun Anderson: Cut loose from 40-man

    The Angels designated Anderson for assignment Tuesday.

    Anderson surrendered four earned runs on four hits and recorded just two outs in his appearance Monday versus the Dodgers. He had been selected from Triple-A Salt Lake just prior to the game. In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Angels recalled Victor Mederos.

  • Victor Mederos RP | LAA

    Angels' Victor Mederos: Recalled, starting Tuesday

    The Angels recalled Mederos from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Mederos will start Tuesday versus the Dodgers after Tyler Anderson, who was initially slated to start for the Halos, was scratched due to a back injury. In a corresponding move, Shaun Anderson was designated for assignment.

  • Shawn Dubin RP | BAL

    Astros' Shawn Dubin: Activated from IL

    The Astros reinstated Dubin (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    The right-hander has been sidelined nearly two months due to a forearm strain but is ready to rejoin the active roster after a five-appearance rehab assignment. Dubin had a 1.33 ERA and six holds in 18 appearances this season prior to the injury, and he should at least be in the setup mix for Houston with closer Josh Hader (shoulder) landing on the injured list.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Diagnosed with Grade 2 strain

    Harvey was diagnosed with a Grade 2 adductor strain and received an injection Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Matt Quatraro said Tuesday that Harvey is expected to miss a significant amount of time, but the team still believes he could pitch again before the end of the season. A clearer timeline for his return will likely emerge whenever he's cleared to begin a throwing program.

  • Elvis Peguero RP | CHW

    White Sox's Elvis Peguero: Sent to Triple-A

    The White Sox optioned Peguero to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    The right-hander was promoted Sunday after being claimed off waivers from the Brewers, and he allowed an earned run over 1.2 frames in his lone outing while up with the White Sox. Peguero had a 2.98 ERA with two saves and 11 holds across 51.1 innings for Milwaukee during the 2024 regular season, but he's made just seven appearances in the big leagues this year.

  • Yoendrys Gomez SP | CHW

    White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Promoted for first MLB start

    The White Sox selected Gomez's contract from Triple-A Charlotte, and he's scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    The right-hander spent time with the White Sox, Dodgers and Yankees early in the season and had a 6.62 ERA and 13:13 K:BB across 17.2 relief innings, and he's worked as a starter at Charlotte for the past few months. Gomez has excelled in that role at Triple-A and has a 2.12 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB over 46.2 innings, so Chicago will now give him his first start in the majors.
