The Mariners placed Criswell on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder strain.

Criswell has given up three earned runs in 1.1 combined innings over his last two appearances, and he appears to have come away from his latest outing Monday with shoulder trouble. He'll take at least two weeks off to recover, and Nick Davila will come up from Triple-A Tacoma to replenish Seattle's bullpen depth.

The Mariners recalled Davila from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Davila will return to the big leagues as the roster replacement for Cooper Criswell (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Davila has fired 7.1 shutout innings with the Mariners this season, though he's done so while posting a 4:6 K:BB. He'll likely be limited to middle-relief duty while with Seattle.

The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

With Jameson Taillon (hamstring) moving to the injured list Tuesday, Roberts will come up from Triple-A to give the Cubs some extra bullpen depth. The 28-year-old righty has performed well in the majors this season, posting a 1.96 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 18.1 innings with Chicago.

Ragans (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Wednesday will mark the first time that Ragans has thrown off a mound since he suffered a setback in late May during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha. He remains without a clear return timeline, but that may change after a few sessions of mound work.

The Pirates traded Fulmer to the Mariners on Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Fulmer has spent the entire season at Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a 6.35 ERA and 1.65 WHIP alongside a 27:15 K:BB across 34 innings. The 32-year-old's performance is unlikely to improve significantly now that he'll be moving into the Pacific Coast League, but he'll still provide some organizational bullpen depth at Triple-A Tacoma.

The Twins returned Sands (forearm) from his rehab assignment Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Sands made his first rehab appearance at Triple-A St. Paul last Tuesday, but his strained right forearm didn't recover quickly enough to allow him to continue pitching. The Twins will now shut down his rehab assignment and give him more time to rest and receive treatment before restarting a throwing program. He's without a clear timeline for returning from the 15-day injured list.

Manager Stephen Vogt said Sabrowski (elbow) threw a bullpen session Monday that went well, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Sabrowski is set to throw another bullpen in the upcoming days. Afterward, the southpaw's next steps will by decided. With his progress coming along, a rehab assignment may be on the horizon.

The Brewers expect Hall to return from his left pec strain in late July, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Hall was originally expected to return sometime around the All-Star break when he first landed on the IL on Friday, but the team has since determined that he will require a slightly longer recovery. Hall had been enjoying a career year before getting injured, posting a 2.03 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 31 innings.

The Rockies recalled Criswell from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Criswell missed all of the 2025 season recovering from Tommy John surgery and has authored a 7.59 ERA in 10.2 innings with Albuquerque this season, though he has struck out 15. If the 27-year-old gets into a game, it will be his first appearance in the majors since 2024.

The Rockies designated Thompson for assignment Tuesday.

Thompson cleared waivers and remained in the organization after the Rockies booted him from the 40-man roster back in March, and he could stick around again. The righty has coughed up 11 runs over 12 innings out of the Colorado bullpen this season.
