Mata (hamstring) was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment due to shoulder and lat soreness Friday and is traveling to Boston to be evaluated, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander threw three innings for Double-A Portland on Thursday, but his rehab assignment is now being paused. Mata is working his way back from a hamstring strain, and the new injuries will push back his return timeline.

The Yankees recalled Gomez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

With Nick Burdi (hip) headed to the injured list, Gomez will fill the opening in New York's bullpen. The 24-year-old righty pitched two scoreless innings during his MLB debut last season and has posted a 3.62 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 27.1 frames this year at Triple-A.

The White Sox placed Leone on the 15-day injured list Friday with right elbow inflammation.

Leone has just rejoined the roster this week after dealing with lower-back tightness, but he'll return to the injured list after making just one appearance for Chicago. It's unclear how long the veteran right-hander is expected to be sidelined.

The White Sox recalled Anderson from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

The 31-year-old will join Chicago on Friday as Dominic Leone (elbow) heads to the injured list. Anderson has made three appearances for the White Sox and has spent most of the campaign with Charlotte, where he has a 2.50 ERA and 25:4 K:BB over 18 innings.

The Yankees placed Burdi on the 15-day injured list Friday with right hip inflammation.

Burdi was able to get through only one-third of an inning during Thursday's win over Seattle, recording his lone out via strikeout and walking the other two batters he faced. It's unclear whether or not his hip had any impact on his performance, but the 31-year-old righty will miss at least the next 15 days. Yoendrys Gomez will come up from Triple-A to take Burdi's spot in the bullpen.

White, who is currently assigned to Double-A Erie, is dealing with right elbow inflammation and began a throwing program this week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

White began the season at Triple-A Toledo but missed most of April due to elbow trouble that has been plaguing him since spring training. He returned to action with Single-A Lakeland on April 28, but the right-hander was shut down again May 8 after making one appearance for Erie. White pitched 40.2 innings for the Tigers last year with a 5.09 ERA, but he appears to be a long way from helping the big-league club in 2024.

Koch was designated for assignment Friday.

Koch will hit waivers and if he goes unclaimed, would likely remain in Colorado's system. He made two appearances with the Rockies, picking up a one-out save in his debut before surrendering four runs without generating an out in his second outing.

Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

After stumbling to a 7.24 ERA in 27.1 innings with the Rockies, Lambert was demoted to Triple-A. Matt Carasiti and John Curtiss were called up to the big-league roster.

Curtiss' contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Curtiss and Matt Carasiti will join the MLB roster to bolster the Rockies' bullpen. Curtiss logged a 4.58 ERA across 19.2 innings with the Mets last season and owns a 6.75 ERA in 21.1 innings this season for Albuquerque.

Carasiti had his contract selected by the Rockies on Friday.

Carasiti will join the big-league roster for the first time this season. He'll bolster the Rockies bullpen after logging a 5.91 ERA over 20 appearances for Triple-A Albuquerque.
