  • Reds' Connor Phillips: Promoted Friday

    The Reds recalled Phillips from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

    The right-hander is joining the Reds ahead of Friday's game in St. Louis as Wade Miley (forearm) heads to the injured list. Chase Petty will be added to the MLB roster Saturday to start in place of Miley, so it could be a short stay in the majors for Phillips, who last appeared in the majors in 2023 and had a 6.97 ERA over 20.2 innings.

    Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Dealing with bruised shoulder

    Manager Craig Counsell said that Boyd left Friday's game against the Mariners due to a bruise on his left shoulder, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Boyd made a great catch on a 105-mph comebacker during the fifth inning of Friday's contest, but it seems he didn't quite come away from it unscathed. The 34-year-old southpaw said after the game that he's not too concerned about his shoulder at this point, so he should still be able to make his next scheduled start in St. Louis next week.

    Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Strikes out six in no-decision

    Boyd did not factor into the decision in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Mariners, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

    Boyd generated nine swinging strikes and was given a surprisingly early hook at just 76 pitches after making a miraculous catch on a comebacker to record his final out. The outing snapped a streak of four straight quality starts for the southpaw, but he's now gone at least five innings while allowing three earned runs or fewer in 14 of 15 outings this season. He'll take a 2.84 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 79:21 K:BB across 85.2 innings into a road matchup with the Cardinals next week.

    Reds' Chase Petty: Stepping into rotation

    Petty was added to the Reds' taxi squad Friday and will be recalled from Triple-A Louisville to start Saturday against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    The right-hander will enter the rotation in place of Wade Miley (forearm), who was placed on the injured list Friday. Petty struggled in his first two big-league appearances earlier this season with 13 runs allowed over 5.1 innings, but he pitched to a 2.70 ERA in four starts with Louisville since being demoted.

  • Wade Miley SP | CIN

    Reds' Wade Miley: Lands on injured list

    The Reds placed Miley on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a left flexor strain.

    The veteran left-hander last pitched Sunday in Detroit and gave up two runs across five innings, but he may have injured his arm during that outing or in his between-starts bullpen session. Miley will be eligible to be activated in early July, but could be out longer given the nature of the injury. Chase Petty will be called up from Triple-A Louisville to enter the rotation in place of Miley on Saturday against the Cardinals.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Returned to Triple-A

    McGreevy was returned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

    McGreevy was up as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox, and he made the start in the second game, allowing just one run on three hits and one walk across five innings. McGreevy struck out five and was in line for the win, as he left the game with a 6-1 lead before the St. Louis bullpen coughed it up in the late innings. McGreevy has made a pair of starts in doubleheaders for the Cardinals this season and has appeared in three games total. He heads back to Triple-A with an impressive 2.70 ERA and 15:2 K:BB across 16.2 innings of work. McGreevy will be back up at some point, but there's not currently a spot for him in the rotation. One would open up if the Cardinals opt to move one of their contract-year starters at the deadline.

  • Mets' Blade Tidwell: Officially promoted to start Friday

    The Mets recalled Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

    Tidwell has been tapped as Friday's starter against the Phillies, and the 24-year-old will hope for a better outing than his first MLB start May 4 against the Cardinals in which he allowed six earned runs on nine hits and three walks across 3.2 innings. Tidwell was saddled with the loss in that game and struck out just two. He's not a recommended fantasy option versus Philadelphia.

  • Reds' Connor Phillips: Call-up pending

    Phillips is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Phillips is set to join the Reds' bullpen Friday after tallying a 3.21 ERA in 14 innings at Louisville this season. The 24-year-old had exclusively operated as a starter before 2025, including his five-start stint with the Reds back in 2023, when he logged a 6.97 ERA and a 26:13 K:BB over 20.2 innings.

  • Sean Manaea RP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Set for fourth rehab start Friday

    Manaea (oblique) will move to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday to make his fourth rehab start, Ben Krimmel of SNY.tv reports.

    Manaea has been on the shelf all season while recovering from a right oblique strain, but he looks to be just a couple weeks away from returning from the 60-day injured list. The veteran southpaw most recently pitched Sunday for High-A Brooklyn, covering 2.1 innings and striking out two batters while allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks. After Friday's outing, Manaea is expected to make at least one more rehab start before joining the big club. His 2025 Mets debut is tentatively scheduled for a three-game set against the Brewers that starts July 1, per Mike Puma of the New York Post.

  • Didier Fuentes RP | ATL

    Braves' Didier Fuentes: Promoted ahead of MLB debut

    Atlanta selected Fuentes' contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    Fuentes will make his major-league debut Friday with a start in Miami. The 20-year-old began the season at the High-A level but was recently promoted to Gwinnett, and he has collected a 2.41 ERA and 23:4 K:BB over 18.2 innings covering his last four outings. It's expected to be just a spot start for Fuentes as Atlanta looks to give its regular rotation members some extra rest.
