Oakland placed Kaprielian on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder strain.

Kaprielian had been scheduled to start for the Athletics on Saturday against the White Sox, but he is now going to be sidelined through the All-Star break -- and probably much longer. The 29-year-old leaves behind a 6.34 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 57:31 K:BB in 61 innings on the season.

Miller (elbow) was transferred Friday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Miller resumed throwing earlier this month, but he still has a lot of hurdles to clear as he recovers from the UCL sprain that sent him to the injured list in May. Kirby Snead (shoulder) has been brought off the 60-day IL to fill the vacant spot on Oakland's 40-man roster.

Cortes (shoulder) is throwing a bullpen session Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Cortes has been cleared for mound work three weeks after hitting the injured list because of a left rotator cuff strain. He got through several flat-ground sessions without issue and could jump back into the Yankees' starting rotation before the end of July if everything continues to go smoothly.

Fried (forearm) threw live batting practice Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

It was his first time facing live hitters since he landed on the injured list in early May with a forearm strain. Fried could soon embark on a minor-league rehab assignment and looks poised to return to Atlanta's starting rotation later in July.

Soroka was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his scheduled start Friday at Truist Park against the visiting Marlins.

Soroka started two games for Atlanta earlier this year, but those were both on the road. Friday's outing will be his first at home in nearly three years. The right-hander is a tough pitcher to evaluate for fantasy purposes given all the time he's missed due to injuries, but he had posted an encouraging 1.42 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 19 innings (three starts) at Gwinnett since his June 5 demotion.

The Royals recalled Marsh ahead of his start Friday against the Dodgers.

Friday will mark the 25-year-old righty's MLB debut after he put up a 2.40 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 15 innings with Triple-A Omaha. Marsh will be filling in for Jordan Lyles, who was scratched from his scheduled start due to illness, and will most likely return to the minors after his spot start. James McArthur was optioned to Omaha in a corresponding move.

Ryu (elbow) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment next Tuesday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

It has yet to be determined where his first rehab outing will take place, but Ryu is finally ready to return to live action more than 12 months after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. The veteran southpaw could be a candidate for the Blue Jays' starting rotation before the end of July if all goes well.

The Cardinals placed Woodford on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder strain.

Woodford was lit up for four runs across 2.1 innings during Thursday's game against Houston, and he's now on the IL with a shoulder strain for the second time this season. He holds a 5.67 ERA and 1.69 WHIP on the season and will be eligible to return shortly after the All-Star break. James Naile was recalled from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

Lodolo (lower leg) will begin a rehab program in Arizona on Monday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

An MRI taken Wednesday was encouraging, and he's been cleared to take off his walking boot in the next few days. There isn't much clarity regarding his return date, but Lodolo isn't expected back until at least August. The 25-year-old lefty held a 6.29 ERA and 1.75 WHIP through 34.1 innings before being shut down due to a stress reaction in his left tibia.

Lively (pectoral) could return from the injured list and make a start before the All-Star break, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Lively landed on the injured list Saturday (retroactive to June 21) with a right pectoral strain, though he doesn't appear to be facing an extended absence. Lively holds a 4.11 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 46 innings this season and is eligible to return July 6 -- four days before the All-Star break.
