Sands (undisclosed) has been placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Wichita, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

It's not clear what Sands is dealing with at this point, but he'll be on the shelf for at least the next seven days. The highly touted prospect has enjoyed a solid season with Wichita so far, posting a 2.84 ERA and 42:18 K:BB across 31.2 innings.

Pearson has been placed on the 7-day injured list with a right groin strain, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

The injury comes at a bad time for the big righty, who had strung together consecutive strong outings at Triple-A, allowing two runs in 11 innings between the two starts. There's been no indication yet as to how long Pearson might be sidelined by the groin strain.

Weber was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander was claimed off waivers by the Brewers last week and will join the big-league club ahead of Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks. Weber made one appearance for the Red Sox this season before being designated for assignment; in that outing, he surrendered 11 runs on 13 hits with seven strikeouts and two walks over 5.2 innings.

The Brewers optioned Milner to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The lefty has struggled since joining the Brewers' bullpen, posting a 5.91 ERA in 10.2 innings. Milner's 14:1 K:BB has certainly impressed, though, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him back with the big-league club at some point this season.

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Ramirez has bounced back and forth between Seattle and Tacoma, with this marking his third demotion since May 27. If the Mariners continue this pattern, Ramirez figures to get promoted once again when the club is in need of an additional bullpen arm. Ramirez has appeared in two big-league games this season, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks across four innings. Donovan Walton was recalled from Tacoma in a corresponding roster move.

Zimmerman (biceps) will miss two or three more weeks, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Zimmerman hasn't pitched in over a week due to left biceps tendinitis, and he's still not particularly close to returning to action. He's on track to return in early or mid-July.

Gsellman (lat) won't throw for six weeks, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Gsellman hit the injured list Monday with a torn right lat and was reported to be out for 6-to-8 weeks. That time frame now seems overly optimistic, as he'll need several weeks to build his arm strength back up even if he's cleared to throw immediately at the six-week mark. A late-August return now appears to be on the optimistic end of his timeline.

Rijo was placed on the seven-day injured list at High-A Cedar Rapids retroactive to June 21 with a right forearm strain.

Rijo has made just one appearance this season for Cedar Rapids, throwing a scoreless inning with one strikeout. He began the season on the temporary inactive list before being reinstated June 10 and then was hurt after his first outing June 13.

The Yankees assigned Wilson (hamstring) to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Wilson has been on the shelf since late May with a right hamstring strain, so he'll presumably require at least one or two tune-up outings in the minors before being brought back from the 10-day injured list. Prior to being shut down, Wilson appeared in 15 games out of the Yankees bullpen, giving up nine earned runs on 13 hits and six walks over 13.1 innings.

Finnegan was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

Finnegan last pitched Sunday, striking out one in a perfect inning. It's not clear when or how he strained his hamstring, but the issue is serious enough to require an IL stint. The right-hander will be eligible to be activated July 1, though he could very well require a longer period to heal. Max Scherzer (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his Tuesday start in a corresponding roster move.
