  • Tobias Myers RP | NYM

    Brewers' Tobias Myers: Back in big leagues

    The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Milwaukee has already confirmed their rotation plans for this weekend's series versus the Nationals, so Myers is likely to work out of the bullpen. After missing almost the first month of the campaign due to an oblique injury, the right-hander has been at Triple-A since mid-May after posting a 4.95 ERA, 1.80 ERA and 15:10 K:BB over 20 innings (six outings) in the majors.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Reinstated for Friday's start

    The Mets activated Senga (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game in Kansas City.

    The right-hander has been sidelined nearly a month due to a right hamstring strain, but he's ready to rejoin New York's rotation after giving up three earned runs over 3.2 frames in his lone rehab outing. Senga threw 68 pitches in that appearance, so he's likely to face some light workload limitations in his first start back with the Mets. He'd been dominant in 2025 prior to the injury with a 1.47 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 70:31 K:BB across 73.2 innings.

  • Hunter Dobbins SP | STL

    Red Sox's Hunter Dobbins: Officially called up for start

    The Red Sox activated Dobbins (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Rays, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Dobbins has been on the shelf since June 22 due to a strained right elbow, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Red Sox. He threw 62 pitches in his lone rehab outing, so he should be able to handle something close to a regular workload. In 12 appearances (10 starts) before sustaining the injury, Dobbins logged a 4.10 ERA and a 43:16 K:BB. Isaiah Campbell was optioned to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move.

  • Nick Nastrini SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Nick Nastrini: Claimed by Dodgers

    The Dodgers claimed Nastrini off waivers Friday.

    Nastrini joins his third organization in just two weeks, going from the White Sox to Miami to the Dodgers. The 25-year-old hasn't appeared in an MLB game this season, and he's struggled in Triple-A, owning a 7.58 ERA and 49:43 K:BB across 46.1 innings. The Dodgers' staff has been ravaged by injuries, so Nastrini could be needed to eat some innings as a long reliever, but he's likely to spend most of his time in the minors. Noah Davis was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Rays' Santiago Suarez: Out with arm injury

    Suarez is on the 7-day injured list at High-A Bowling Green with tightness in his right triceps and shoulder, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports.

    The report from early June states that the injury is not considered serious and he should return before too long, but Suarez hasn't pitched in a game since May 7. The 20-year-old righty had a 1.78 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 28:5 K:BB in 25.1 innings prior to the injury.

  • Quinn Priester SP | MIL

    Brewers' Quinn Priester: Set to follow opener

    Priester is expected to pitch behind opener DL Hall in Friday's game against the Nationals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    The right-hander has worked as a traditional starter in 12 of his 16 appearances this season, but he'll piggyback Hall in his final appearance before the All-Star break. Priester has been a quality back-end rotation piece for the Brewers during the first half with a 3.59 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 65:30 K:BB across 82.2 innings, but he could lose his spot when Nestor Cortes (elbow) is ready to return.

  • Brewers' Nestor Cortes: Sharp in second rehab start

    Cortes (elbow) struck out two and allowed three hits and no walks over four scoreless innings in his rehab start Thursday with High-A Wisconsin.

    The southpaw has pitched effectively over two rehab starts with Wisconsin and Triple-A Nashville, tossing seven scoreless frames with a 6:0 K:BB. He built up to 54 pitches (36 strikes) in Thursday's outing, and Cortes may need just one more outing to get stretched out before making his return from the 60-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break. Though the Brewers are flush with appealing rotation options, Cortes' strong track record over the last four seasons should be enough for him to reclaim a starting role. After being acquired in the Devin Williams trade this winter, Cortes made just two appearances for the Brewers before being placed on the IL on April 6 due to a left elbow flexor strain.

  • Kendry Rojas RP | MIN

    Blue Jays' Kendry Rojas: Dominant at Double-A

    Rojas struck out 10 without walking a batter and allowed just two hits over five scoreless innings in his second start for Double-A New Hampshire on Thursday.

    The 22-year-old southpaw got a belated start to his season due to an abdominal injury, but Rojas appears intent on making up for lost time. A converted outfielder, Rojas has had trouble staying healthy since moving to the mound, but he boasts a mid-90s fastball with a slider and changeup, and a smooth, athletic delivery that has led to rapid improvement in both his raw stuff and his control. After posting a 2.43 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 61:12 K:BB over 55.2 innings at High-A last year, Rojas could be poised to take another big step forward in the second half of 2025.

  • Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Racking up Ks at Double-A

    Lagrange has a 2.61 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB in 20.2 innings over his last four starts for Double-A Somerset.

    The 22-year-old righty was surprisingly assigned to High-A Hudson Valley to begin the year, even though he had an 18.8 percent walk rate at Single-A Tampa in 2024. Lagrange was up for the challenge, logging a 4.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 64:12 K:BB in 41.2 innings at High-A before getting promoted to Double-A on June 3. Even during his stretches of dominance, walks can be a problem for Lagrange, as he's given up more walks than hits in three straight starts.

  • Nationals' Shinnosuke Ogasawara: Awarded another start

    Ogasawara is slated to start Saturday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

    With Trevor Williams (elbow) hitting the injured list last week with a season-ending UCL tear, Ogasawara was summoned from Triple-A Rochester to fill the opening in the rotation. The 27-year-old proceeded to get thrashed in his MLB debut last Sunday, surrendering four earned runs on seven hits and no walks over 2.2 innings in a loss to the Red Sox. With prospect Cade Cavalli (14 earned runs allowed over his last two starts) struggling at Triple-A, the Nationals don't have many appealing alternatives for their fifth starter spot, so Ogasawara will receive at least one more turn as he looks to build a case for sticking around with the big club coming out of the All-Star break.
