Manager Scott Servais said Saturday that Dunn (shoulder) is expected to be activated off the injured list to make his next start at some point next week, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Dunn was placed on the 10-day injured list June 2 with right shoulder inflammation. His last start came May 29 against the Rangers, so he's eligible to be activated June 10. It's unclear where exactly he'll slot back into the Mariners' rotation, but he seems likely to take the ball at some point during the series in Cleveland next weekend.

Means was pulled from Saturday's game with left shoulder fatigue, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

This explains why Means was getting knocked around by Cleveland's lackluster offense in the first inning. It's unclear how many starts, if any, the lefty will miss. He dealt with left shoulder fatigue at the start of last season and only missed one outing.

Means (undisclosed) was removed from Saturday's game against Cleveland after facing five batters, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Adam Plutko took over on the mound after Means walked off with the trainer. The lefty ace allowed three hits, two of which were solo homers, and recorded just two outs on 29 pitches. It's unclear what exactly Means is dealing with, but that information should come out after the game.

Severino (elbow) will start Sunday with the Low-A Tampa Tarpons.

This marks the beginning of Severino's rehab assignment as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery. The buildup he'll require means he's unlikely to return for at least another month, but the fact that he's pitching in games again is very encouraging for the hard-throwing righty and the Yankees.

Glasnow will start Tuesday against the Nationals instead of Sunday against the Rangers, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Glasnow is not dealing with any injury, but the Rays are just attempting to manage his workload. The move should also allow another day of rest for Ryan Yarbrough, who threw a complete game Thursday. Sunday will be a bullpen game for the Rays, with the starter yet to be announced.

The Yankees moved Kluber (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

The move frees up a roster spot as Kluber, yet to begin a throwing program, still projects to return around late July. Infielder Chris Gittens was signed Saturday to fill Kluber's spot.

Rodon will now start Tuesday's series opener against the Blue Jays, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Rodon had been listed as the starter for Sunday's game against the Tigers, but the White Sox will choose to give him extra rest ahead of his next outing. Dylan Cease will now take the mound in Sunday's series finale.

Cease will start Sunday's series finale against Detroit, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander will be pitching on normal rest Sunday, and the White Sox will elect to start Carlos Rodon on Tuesday to give him additional rest. Across his last three starts, Cease has posted a 7.90 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 13.2 innings.

Keller (6-4) allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out five over five innings as he took the win over the Twins on Friday.

Keller was handed a commanding lead Friday after the Royals tallied nine runs on six hits, two errors and a walk in the first inning. The 25-year-old did surrender a solo home run to Jorge Polanco in the fifth but struck out at least five for the third consecutive start and didn't walk a batter for the first time all year. While Keller has been much better over the last month, he still owns a 5.50 ERA. The right-hander is expected to take the mound next week against the Angels in Los Angeles.

Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Garcia was sent to the minors Sunday and tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in his only appearance with the Triple-A club. He'll rejoin the major-league bullpen after he posted a 5.30 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 18.2 innings across 19 appearances to begin the year. Right-hander Spencer Turnbull (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
