The 32-year-old latched on with the Giants on July 3 after starting the 2025 season with Detroit. He hasn't allowed a run in 5.1 innings with Sacramento this season and tallied a 1.67 ERA in 32.1 innings with the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate in Toledo.

Law (forearm) has a partial tear of his right flexor tendon and will undergo season-ending surgery to repair it, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Law is shooting for a mid-season return in 2026, as he'll undergo a procedure to repair a torn flexor tendon in his throwing arm. The 33-year-old had already been sidelined for the entirety of the campaign with forearm inflammation. He will be a free agent at the conclusion of the 2025 season.

Cleveland recalled Enright from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

Paul Sewald (shoulder) was placed on the IL during the All-Star break, opening up a spot for Enright on the active roster. In 12 appearances for the Guardians this season, Enright has a 1.88 ERA and a 14:7 K:BB across 14.1 innings.

Butto's (illness) rehab assignment will continue at Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Butto made an appearance with the Mets' Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday and will continue his rehab stint at Triple-A. Considering he's recovering from an illness instead of a physical injury, Butto likely won't need more than one or two more rehab appearances before being activated.

The Mets reinstated Raley (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Raley's recovery from Tommy John surgery is complete, and he'll join the Mets' active roster coming out of the All-Star break. He made eight appearances during a minor-league rehab assignment that spanned three levels, throwing nine scoreless innings with a 13:1 K:BB. Richard Lovelady was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Zeferjahn will start Friday's game against the Phillies, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Zeferjahn will serve as an opener Friday, marking his first big-league start. The 27-year-old owns a 5.66 ERA and a 41:22 K:BB across 35 innings in 2025. He's completed two innings in just one of his 40 appearances.

Gage is expected to have his contract selected by the Giants on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Gage inked a minor-league contract with San Francisco on July 3 after being designated for assignment by the Tigers. The 32-year-old pitched six scoreless innings for Detroit this season and hasn't allowed a run in 5.1 innings with Triple-A Sacramento.

The Royals recalled Hoffmann from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Hoffmann made his MLB debut earlier this season, allowing two runs in two innings of relief May 30. He'll take the spot of Michael Lorenzen (oblique) on the 26-man roster, although Hoffmann will work out of the bullpen rather than plugging the hole in the rotation. Hoffmann boasts a 2.31 ERA and 55:10 K:BB in 39 innings with Omaha.

Hamilton will open Friday's game against Atlanta, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

The Yankees were initially expected to start Max Fried (blister) on Friday, but the team has opted to give Fried a few extra days of rest. Instead, Hamilton will open up what's expected to be a bullpen game. The 30-year-old reliever has a 3.47 ERA through 36.1 innings this season, and he hasn't pitched more than two innings in an outing this season. Coming out of the All-Star break, New York could look to get multiple innings out of Hamilton's fresh arm Friday.
