  • Tekoah Roby SP | STL

    Cardinals' Tekoah Roby: Moves up to Triple-A

    Roby has been promoted from Double-A Springfield to Triple-A Memphis.

    Roby has bounced back from last year's injury-shortened, disappointing campaign by posting a 2.49 ERA and 57:11 K:BB over 47 frames covering 10 starts with Springfield. This will be the 23-year-old's first stint at the Triple-A level.

  • Ryan Weathers SP | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Experiencing shoulder discomfort

    Weathers returned to Miami on Monday and will be evaluated due to shoulder discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Weathers was removed from Saturday's start against the Rays after being hit in the head by a throw from catcher Nick Fortes between innings. Prior to that, however, Weathers was seen flexing his arm and experienced diminished velocity, so the shoulder discomfort makes sense now. The left-hander has made just five starts this season after missing the start of 2025 with a forearm issue. Weathers is 1-1 with a 3.28 ERA and 23:8 K:BB across 24.2 innings of work. A trip to the 15-day injured list could be in his near future.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Headed for second opinion

    Greene is headed to Los Angeles on Monday for a second opinion on his back and groin injuries, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Greene initially injured his groin in a May 7 start against Atlanta but missed the minimum 15 days on the IL and made three starts before aggravating the groin issue while also coming down with a back issue June 3 versus Milwaukee. He's already been sent back to the 15-day injured list but appears to be looking at a lengthier recovery this time around. Wade Miley has been signed by Cincinnati and is expected to make his first start with the Reds on Monday against the Guardians.

  • Zack Wheeler SP | PHI

    Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Reinstated from paternity list

    The Phillies reinstated Wheeler from the paternity list ahead of Monday's start against the Cubs.

    In a corresponding move, the Phillies optioned Daniel Robert to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Wheeler (6-2) has made 12 starts this season and sports a 2.96 ERA and 94:18 KBB across 76 innings of work. He gets a tough test against a Cubs lineup that is fourth in OPS against right-handed pitching in 2025.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Sent back down to Triple-A

    The Cardinals optioned McGreevy to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    McGreevy was called up to make Sunday's start against the Dodgers, and he took the loss after allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts across six innings. McGreevy will likely be back in St. Louis again at some point this summer.

  • Braves' AJ Smith-Shawver: Undergoes Tommy John surgery

    Atlanta announced Monday that Smith-Shawver (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.

    This was the expected outcome after Smith-Shawver was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his pitching elbow, which he suffered May 29. Smith-Shawver was placed on the 60-day injured list the following day and is looking at a lengthy rehab. Prior to his injury, Smith-Shawver (3-2) made nine starts for Atlanta this season, registering a 3.86 ERA and 42:21 K:BB across 44.1 innings of work. Grant Holmes and Bryce Elder round out Atlanta's rotation behind Chris Sale, Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach. Fellow starter Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) remains on the 60-day IL.

  • Josiah Gray SP | WAS

    Nationals' Josiah Gray: Throwing bullpen sessions

    Gray (elbow) has recently progressed to throwing bullpen sessions of 30 pitches at the Nationals' spring training facility in Florida, MLB.com reports.

    Gray isn't expected to resume pitching in games until late in the 2025 season after he underwent Tommy John surgery and an internal brace procedure July 24, 2024, but he seems to making good progress in his recovery. He'll likely remain in Florida for at least a few more weeks to conduct his rehab and will eventually move on to facing hitters in live batting practice before he's cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment.

  • Paul Blackburn RP | NYY

    Mets' Paul Blackburn: Notches four-inning save

    Blackburn gave up three runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings Sunday to record his first career save in a rout of the Rockies.

    The veteran righty took the mound to begin the sixth inning with the Mets ahead 7-2, and they only extended their lead from there. Blackburn tossed 71 pitches (47 strikes) in his second appearance of the season, which will likely leave him unavailable for long-relief duties during a three-game set against the Nationals to begin the current week.

  • Marlins' Valente Bellozo: Tagged with loss Sunday

    Bellozo (1-3) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, coughing up three runs on two hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

    The Marlins went with a bullpen game Sunday, and Bellozo was the only Miami hurler to give up any runs in a 3-2 loss. Yandy Diaz was the right-hander's nemesis, clubbing a two-run homer off Bellozo in the fifth inning and adding a double to lead off the eighth. Bellozo has provided useful innings in a swingman role, pitching at least three frames in all nine of his appearances (five starts) and allowing more than one earned run only twice. On the season, he sports a 3.41 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB through 34.1 innings.

  • Cam Caminiti SP | ATL

    Braves' Cam Caminiti: Fans eight for Augusta

    Caminiti struck out eight and allowed one run on one hit and one walk over five innings for Single-A Augusta on Saturday.

    The 18-year-old southpaw got a late start to the season due to forearm tendinitis, but after four starts in the Florida Complex League to get built up, Caminiti was bumped up to Augusta and dazzled over 62 pitches (43 strikes). A first-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, the second-generation ballplayer -- his uncle was 1996 NL MVP Ken Caminiti -- won't be rushed up the ladder given his age, but he could be an option for the Atlanta rotation in a few years.
