The Rockies are expected to activate Gordon (hip) from the 15-day injured list to start or pitch in bulk relief Tuesday against the Marlins at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Tomoyuki Sugano is nursing a finger injury that will result in him being pushed back in the pitching schedule a few days, so the Rockies will have an extra spot in the rotation this week that will likely fall to Gordon. The right-hander had posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 35.1 innings over nine appearances (two starts) with the Rockies before landing on the shelf June 5 due to a right hip impingement. Gordon covered four innings and 38 pitches in his lone rehab outing with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, so he could be in line for a light workload if he does in fact start for the Rockies on Tuesday.

The Padres placed Morgan on the 15-day injured list Monday due to left knee inflammation.

The injury may have cropped up following Morgan's most recent relief appearance against the Dodgers on Friday, when he struck out two but allowed one run on two hits. He'll be replaced in the San Diego bullpen by right-hander Bradgley Rodriguez, who was called up from Double-A San Antonio. Morgan owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB across 22 innings in the majors this season.

The Padres recalled Rodriguez from Double-A San Antonio on Monday.

San Diego initially sent Rodriguez to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 19, a move that was made to build in some rest for the hard-throwing right-hander. Rodriguez eventually moved up to San Antonio, with whom he made his lone appearance Sunday before getting the call back to the big leagues. The 22-year-old has been exceptional during his time with San Diego this season (2.10 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB in 34.1 innings), but due to the number of quality arms in the bullpen, Rodriguez may have to settle for a middle-relief role.

Winn (elbow) completed a 25-pitch bullpen Monday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Winn is currently on the 15-day injured list after suffering a right elbow strain earlier in the month. However, he was cleared to resume throwing one week ago, and he's since progressed to mound work. Webeck notes that Winn will remain in Arizona to continue his rehab, and if all goes well, he'll pitch in an Arizona Complex League game at the end of the week.

Peguero (hamstring) threw 30 pitches during a bullpen session Monday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Peguero landed on the 60-day injured list June 1 due to a left hamstring strain, but it appears his rehab is coming along at a nice pace. He was immediately placed on the 60-day IL after suffering the injury, so he won't be eligible to be reinstated until the end of July. Peguero will presumably be asked to complete at least another bullpen or two before facing live hitters.

The Orioles recalled Walker from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Walker has appeared in three games out of the Orioles' bullpen this season but has spent most of 2026 in Triple-A, where he has a 4.28 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, one save and a 32:9 K:BB across 27.1 innings. The move corresponds with the Orioles placing Keegan Akin (elbow) on the 15-day injured list.

The Orioles placed Akin on the 15-day injured list Monday, retroactive to Sunday, due to left elbow discomfort.

The issue may have cropped up during Akin's last outing Saturday against the Nationals, when he tossed two scoreless innings and allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two. After giving up six earned runs against Washington on May 16, Akins has posted a 1.56 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 17.1 innings in his last 15 outings, so his loss is a sizable blow to the Orioles' bullpen. The move means the veteran southpaw will be out at least through the All-Star break. Josh Walker was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Pagan (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and is set to regain his role as the team's closer, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Pagan likely would have been reinserted into the ninth inning even before Tony Santillan (oblique) landed on the shelf last week, but the Santillan injury seemingly cinched things. Out since early May with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Pagan logged two scoreless rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville. He'll get a day of rest Monday before being activated Tuesday, Francona said in an interview with MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Garcia (elbow/neck/biceps) has resumed playing catch, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Garcia has been on the shelf all season after requiring surgery last September to remove scar tissue around his right elbow, but biceps and neck nerve symptoms were cited as the reason behind the Blue Jays' decision to pull him off his rehab assignment last week. The right-hander appears to have responded well to several days of rest, prompting the Blue Jays to clear him to begin throwing again. Given that he's dealt with multiple setbacks this season -- Garcia was also pulled off a rehab assignment in May due to elbow soreness -- he could be built up slowly before the Blue Jays clear him to report back to a minor-league affiliate.

The Athletics placed Suarez on the paternity leave list Monday.

Suarez will likely miss the entirety of the series against the Dodgers before rejoining the Athletics bullpen for the weekend series versus the Marlins. The lefty has logged a 4.01 ERA and 24:6 K:BB over 24.2 innings for the Athletics this season.
