Staumont suffered a setback this week in his recovery from a neck strain, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Staumont has been sent for a fresh round of tests to determine the severity of the setback. He was placed on the injured list in early June and might not be ready to return to the Royals' bullpen before the All-Star break.

Detroit placed Vest on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lower leg strain.

Vest suffered the injury in Monday's series opener against the Rangers and will be sidelined through the All-Star break. He leaves behind a 2.73 ERA and 32:9 K:BB through 29.2 innings of work this season with the Tigers.

Misiewicz was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Misiewicz will join Detroit's major-league roster after the team claimed him off waivers from Arizona on June 18. The left-hander had struggled to a 5.63 ERA and 1.75 WHIP with six strikeouts over eight innings in seven appearances with the Diamondbacks before being designated for assignment June 12, but he'll look to turn it around with the Tigers.

The Mets optioned Nittoli to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

After being promoted from Syracuse on Friday, Nittoli will head back to Triple-A after making two scoreless appearances with New York. Nittoli holds a 3.81 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 26 innings in the minors this season and could return to the bigs if the Mets are ever in need of a fresh arm in the bullpen.

Carlton was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Carlton will return to the major-league bullpen after being sent down Wednesday, replacing Steven Wilson (pectoral) on the big-league roster. Carlton has produced a solid 4.24 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 15 punchouts over 17 innings in nine appearances with San Diego in 2023.

Wilson was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right pectoral strain Tuesday.

Wilson will be unavailable until after the All-Star break as he tends to his injured pectoral. He will be replaced in the major-league bullpen by Drew Carlton, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. Wilson has been very effective this season with San Diego, compiling a 2.43 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 40 strikeouts over 37 frames in 2023.

Martinez was called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Martinez will join the big-league club for the first time in his career after he was sent down ahead of the season in March. The right-hander has produced a 4.18 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with 38 strikeouts over 28 innings in 25 appearances with Reno this year.

Ginkel was called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Ginkel will return to the majors after he was sent down June 12, helping replace Merrill Kelly (calf) on the big-league roster after the latter was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Ginkel has appeared in 25 games with the Diamondbacks this season, producing a 2.76 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 26 strikeouts over 29.1 frames.

Garcia (knee) is expected to avoid the injured list, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Garcia hasn't pitched since experiencing right knee discomfort during a relief appearance Saturday versus the Athletics, but he should be available again out of the Toronto bullpen within the next couple of days.

Rodriguez (shoulder) will make at least one more rehab appearance before being activated from the injured list, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Rodriguez struggled in his first two rehab outings at Triple-A Worcester before striking out three of the four total batters he faced there Sunday in a scoreless frame. He's been sidelined since the beginning of June due to left shoulder inflammation.
