  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Reds transferred Greene (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

    Greene is out for the remainder of the 2026 season and will soon undergo surgery to repair a partially torn UCL in his right elbow, which will keep him on the shelf for most or all of the 2027 campaign. The 27-year-old opened the current season on the IL after requiring a procedure in the spring to remove bone chips from his elbow and ended up making just five starts for the Reds, logging a 6.83 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

  • Blue Jays' Jameson Taillon: Sent to IL

    Toronto placed Taillon on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Taillon completed just four innings Monday against Boston before being removed with discomfort in his right forearm. The 34-year-old will head to the IL for the second time this season and first time as a member of the Blue Jays. The right-hander made just two starts for Toronto since being dealt to the club on Aug. 2 from the Cubs. The Blue Jays recalled Chase Lee from Triple-A Buffalo to take Taillon's spot on the active roster.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Third rehab start coming Tuesday

    Cabrera (hamstring) is slated to make the third start of his rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Knoxville, MLB.com reports.

    Cabrera will bump down a level after making his first two rehab starts at Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander, who has been on the shelf since June 24 due to a left hamstring/adductor strain, most recently covered 55 pitches over four innings Wednesday, striking out eight batters in that outing while allowing one unearned run on one hit and no walks. If he's able to build on that pitch count Tuesday, Cabrera should get the green light to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues.

  • Chris Bassitt SP | BAL

    Orioles' Chris Bassitt: Looks ready to rejoin rotation

    Bassitt (back) struck out five and allowed three hits and two walks across six scoreless innings Friday in a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk.

    Bassitt built up to 83 pitches (51 strikes) in the third and most likely final start of his minor-league rehab assignment. Over his three outings with Norfolk, Bassitt submitted a 1.98 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB In 13.2 innings. He's expected to return from the 60-day injured list to slot into the rotation this weekend during the Orioles' series at Tampa Bay. The Orioles already cleared a spot in the rotation for Bassitt by optioning lefty Cade Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Playing catch

    Ryan (glute) threw on flat ground Monday, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

    The right-hander landed on the injured list Friday due to a left glute strain, but it's encouraging that he was shut down from throwing for only a few days. Ryan will be eligible to be reinstated for the Aug. 21 matchup with the Padres, though it remains to be seen if he'll be ready to go at that point.

  • Luis Gil RP | NYY

    Yankees' Luis Gil: Beginning rehab assignment

    Gil (shoulder) is reporting to High-A Hudson Valley to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The right-hander has been sidelined since late April due to shoulder inflammation and has now been cleared to pitch in a game setting. Gil made four starts for the Yankees in April and surrendered 13 runs with a 9:11 K:BB over 19.1 innings before being demoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he ended up on the injured list. The 28-year-old will likely need at least a couple starts in the lower minors before he rejoins the RailRiders.

  • George Klassen SP | LAA

    Angels' George Klassen: Handed another start

    Klassen is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers at Angel Stadium.

    After spending the past four months in the minors, Klassen was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake last week when the Angels had an opening in the rotation after dealing Jose Soriano to the Blue Jays prior to the trade deadline. Klassen made his third start of the season with the Angels on Friday in Miami, taking a no-decision while striking out three and allowing one earned run on four hits and four walks in four innings. Klassen may need a better showing during his upcoming turn through the rotation to ensure he receives additional starts with the Angels, who will soon get some reinforcement with Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) nearing a return from the 60-day injured list. Once Kikuchi is activated, the Angels will likely have only one rotation spot available for Klassen and Ryan Johnson.

  • Ryan Johnson SP | LAA

    Angels' Ryan Johnson: Set for another start

    Johnson will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers at Angel Stadium.

    The Angels optioned Johnson to Triple-A Salt Lake on Aug. 1, only to recall him three days later when the team had a couple of vacancies in the rotation following the trade deadline. Johnson ended up picking up his 10th start of the season Thursday, when he took a no-decision in Baltimore while allowing one run on three hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. Johnson will get another chance to start Tuesday, but he'll likely need to show improved efficiency in order to extend his stay in the rotation. Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) has made three rehab starts and looks close to coming back from the 60-day injured list, and his eventual return will likely result in either Johnson or George Klassen losing out on a rotation spot.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Needs another rehab start

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in an appearance on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Rodon (elbow) will make another rehab start Thursday or Friday.

    Rodon was touched up for three runs on three hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. He threw 46 pitches in the outing, so Rodon needs to get stretched out more before rejoining the Yankees rotation. The veteran left-hander is working his way back from elbow inflammation.

  • Noah Cameron SP | KC

    Royals' Noah Cameron: Yields four runs Monday

    Cameron allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Monday.

    Cameron was staked to an early 3-0 lead before giving up two runs in the third inning. He still managed to hold the lead until the sixth, when he was charged with two more runs after he departed with two outs. It was a step back -- albeit against one of the league's best teams -- for Cameron, who entered Monday with three straight quality starts on his ledger, giving up just one run over 23 innings during that span. The left-hander lines up to make his next start on the road against the Angels.
