  • Mitch White RP | MIL

    Dodgers' Mitch White: Receives Wednesday call-up

    Manager Dave Roberts said White will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    White has bounced back in forth between the majors and Oklahoma City since being first recalled in late April. The right-hander currently holds a 3.77 ERA through 14.1 big-league innings, and he should have a decent chance of appearing in the Dodgers' bullpen game Wednesday.

  • Rafael Montero RP | NYY

    Mariners' Rafael Montero: Back to struggling Tuesday

    Montero allowed three earned runs on five hits over two innings in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday. He struck out one.

    Montero's struggles continued Tuesday, as he pitched to plenty of contact, the most damaging which was a three-run home run by former Rangers teammate Rougned Odor. The struggling right-hander has now given up multiple earned runs in four of his last five appearances, ballooning his ERA and WHIP to 6.64 and 1.47, respectively, across 39.1 innings.

  • Alex Lange RP | KC

    Tigers' Alex Lange: Reinstated, optioned Wednesday

    Lange (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

    Lange landed on the IL in mid-June with a right shoulder strain. The right-hander pitched a scoreless inning during a rehab outing with Toledo on Tuesday, and he'll remain in Triple-A for the time being. Lange holds a 7.31 ERA through 16 major-league innings this season, but he remains a candidate to rejoin the Tigers' bullpen later this summer.

  • Jake Reed RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Jake Reed: Starting bullpen game Wednesday

    Reed will start Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Reed made his major-league debut as a reliever in Tuesday's game against Miami and allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. It's not yet clear how long he'll be able to last Wednesday, as the Dodgers plan to treat the contest as a bullpen game.

  • Ryan Brasier RP | TEX

    Red Sox's Ryan Brasier: Yet to clear concussion protocols

    Pitching coach Dave Bush said Wednesday that Brasier has still not cleared concussion protocols after being hit in the head June 4, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Brasier resumed baseball activities in late June, but per Bush, he's yet to throw off a mound as he continues to be monitored for his concussion. It sounds like he'll be limited to ground work until he's officially out of the concussion protocol, which means he's likely up to a month away from returning to the Boston bullpen.

  • Josh Fleming RP | TOR

    Rays' Josh Fleming: Officially activated Wednesday

    Fleming (calf) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Although Collin McHugh will serve as the opener in Wednesday's nightcap, Fleming will likely serve as the primary pitcher after he spent just over the minimum amount of time on the injured list with a right calf strain. The lefty has made 13 appearances (six starts) for the Rays this year, and he's posted a 3.39 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 66.1 innings. Left-hander Ryan Sherriff was sent down in a corresponding move.

  • Collin McHugh RP | ATL

    Rays' Collin McHugh: Serving as opener in nightcap

    McHugh will serve as the opener during the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    McHugh most recently tossed three scoreless innings against the Blue Jays and struck out six in that appearance, and he'll take the mound to begin Wednesday's nightcap. The right-hander has posted a 1.87 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 33.2 innings across 19 appearances (three starts) to begin the season.

  • Mike Mayers RP | TOR

    Angels' Mike Mayers: Secures 11th hold

    Mayers tossed a scoreless inning to pick up the hold against Boston on Tuesday. He allowed one walk and struck out one batter.

    The righty reliever had some issues with his control -- only eight of his 17 pitches were strikes -- but he nonetheless kept the Red Sox off the scoreboard and served as an effective bridge between starter Shohei Ohtani and closer Raisel Iglesias. Over his past nine outings, Mayers has racked up a 15:4 K:BB across 10 innings while posting a 1.80 ERA and 1.10 WHIP.

  • Dodgers' Scott Alexander: Sweats out scoreless outing

    Alexander allowed two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning against Miami on Tuesday but did not give up any runs.

    The left-hander came on in the ninth inning of a tie game and allowed a single and a walk to the first two batters he faced. After striking out Joe Panik, Alexander allowed an infield single that loaded the bases. He then picked up another strikeout -- this time getting Jazz Chisholm swinging -- before giving way to Blake Treinen, who ended the frame by inducing a groundout. In two appearances since coming off the injured list Monday, Alexander has pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out three.

  • Sean Hjelle RP | SF

    Giants' Sean Hjelle: Returns to action Sunday

    Hjelle (leg) was activated from the 7-day minor-league injured list and pitched four shutout innings versus Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. He allowed just two hits and struck out four.

    The right-hander missed a little over two weeks with the leg injury. Hjelle has done well at Richmond this season with a 3.11 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 46:10 K:BB across 37.2 innings.
