Yimi Garcia RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Returns from IL
The Blue Jays reinstated Garcia (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Toronto sent lefty Mason Fluharty to Triple-A Buffalo to clear room in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster for Garcia's return from the IL. Before landing on the IL on May 24 due to a right shoulder impingement, Garcia compiled three saves and six holds and pitched to a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 20 innings.

Drey Jameson RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Still bothered by elbow injury
Jameson underwent an MRI on his right elbow Tuesday after experiencing renewed tightness coming out of his rehab appearance in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last Friday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Jameson landed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list May 20 due to inflammation in his right elbow, which he previously had surgically repaired in September 2023. After a month of rest and rehab, Jameson was cleared to resumed pitching in games in the ACL last week, but he made just two appearances before suffering a setback. The Diamondbacks haven't revealed the findings of Jameson's recent MRI, but he'll presumably be out of action through at least the All-Star break.

Diamondbacks' Juan Morillo: Expected to be optioned
The Diamondbacks are expected to option Morillo to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Morillo has made 28 relief appearances for the Diamondbacks this season, posting a 4.01 ERA and 25:13 K:BB across 24.2 frames. He'll be replaced on the roster by Jake Woodford, who will offer the Arizona bullpen more length.

Joe Jacques RP | NYM
Mariners' Joe Jacques: Expected to be added to roster
The Mariners are expected to call up Jacques from Triple-A Tacoma, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jacques was acquired via trade from the Dodgers in early June and will be promoted despite a 6.19 ERA this season at the Triple-A level. The lefty reliever holds a 5.46 ERA and 22:11 K:BB over 29.2 frames covering parts of two big-league seasons.

Cooper Criswell RP | SEA
Red Sox's Cooper Criswell: Expected to be 27th man Wednesday
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Criswell will likely be recalled from Triple-A Worcester to start Wednesday's game versus the Reds following the completion of a suspended game, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Brayan Bello had been scheduled to start the regularly scheduled contest, but he will be handed the ball in the earlier suspended game instead. That leaves Criswell -- who will added as the 27th man -- to start the nightcap, although it's possible an opener is used ahead of him. Criswell would be pitching on three days' rest after going five innings and throwing 87 pitches Saturday for Worcester, so he'd likely have a truncated workload against Cincinnati.

Yosver Zulueta SP | SEA
Reds' Yosver Zulueta: Up as 27th man
The Reds recalled Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
The Reds and Red Sox will resume a suspended game Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. ET before playing their regularly scheduled contest later in the evening. Zulueta will be available as the 27th man for the latter tilt. He's allowed one run over 2.1 innings covering two relief appearances with the big club this season.

Andrew Chafin RP | CIN
Nationals' Andrew Chafin: Could be close to return
Chafin (hamstring) threw a simulated game before Tuesday's game was postponed due to rain, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
The veteran southpaw has been sidelined since June 8 due to a strained hamstring. Chafin isn't expected to need a rehab assignment, and if he doesn't have any issues following Tuesday's session, he could be activated from the IL later this week.

Tyler Owens RP | DET
Tigers' Tyler Owens: Summoned from Triple-A
The Tigers recalled Owens from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
He'll take over the 26-man active roster spot of right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Owens made two relief appearances for Detroit earlier this season but has spent most of the 2025 campaign pitching out of the bullpen at Toledo, where he's posted a 5.46 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 28 innings.

Sawyer Gipson-Long SP | DET
Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Goes on IL with neck strain
The Tigers placed Gipson-Long on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a neck strain.
Gipson-Long last pitched Friday, and it's not clear whether he got hurt during that outing or at some point since then. The right-hander will be eligible for activation at the start of the second half, but the Tigers have not revealed a timetable for his return. With Reese Olson (finger) expected back from the injured list later this week, Gipson-Long might not have a rotation spot waiting for him once he's healthy.
