Schreiber left Monday's game against the Mariners with right lat tightness, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Schreiber is likely headed for further testing after being removed from Monday's contest. Manager Alex Cora stated after the contest that the right-hander is likely headed to the 15-day injured list, though no official move has been made just yet.

Schreiber exited Monday's game against the Mariners due to an undisclosed injury, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

The nature of Schreiber's injury has yet to be revealed, but he appeared to clenching his right fist, per Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

May (personal) will join Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Jason Burke of Locked On A's reports.

May pressed the pause button on his rehab stint May 4, but he's now ready to get back on the bump. He was initially placed on the injured list with anxiety-related issues April 19 and remains without a firm timetable for a return.

The Padres transferred Pomeranz (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The move clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for Drew Carlton, who had his contract selected from Triple-A El Paso prior to Monday's clash against Kansas City. Pomeranz is currently rehabbing from a left elbow flexor tendon surgery and remains without a firm timetable for a return after being pulled off his rehab assignment in late April due to left arm discomfort.

The Padres selected Carlton's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Carlton earned a shot with the big club posting a 1.12 ERA and 18:5 K:BB over 16 innings with El Paso. The right-hander saw some brief action in the majors with the Tigers from 2021-22, holding a 2.92 ERA across nine appearances.

San Diego optioned Weathers to Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Weathers allowed four runs over 5.2 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday, and he'll head back to El Paso to continue work as a starter and stay on rotation. The Padres haven't announced a corresponding transaction yet, but it appears Drew Carlton could be joining the San Diego bullpen before Monday's game against the Royals.

The Cubs selected Burdi's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Burdi hasn't pitched in the majors since having a second Tommy John surgery in 2020. He's earned a trip back to the big leagues after posting a 3.38 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over 10.2 innings with Iowa.

The Cubs recalled Estrada from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Estrada will replace Brad Boxberger after Boxberger was placed on the 15-day injured list with a fight forearm strain. In four MLB innings Estrada has yet to allow a run, and he'll likely be a mid-innings option for the Chicago bullpen while he's with the club.

Boxberger was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a strained right forearm, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The move is considered precautionary, manager David Ross told Jordan Bastian of MLB.com on Monday. Boxberger will undergo further testing just in case, though.

Oakland optioned Neal to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Neal appeared in two games after being called up May 11 and allowed three runs over 3.1 innings (8.10 ERA) with three strikeouts and no walks. The right-hander was sent down Monday to make room for Adrian Martinez, with Martinez coming off the 15-day injured list after missing three weeks with a right elbow strain.
