Crawford (knee) experienced more wrist pain Saturday and will have his bullpen session moved to next week, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Crawford is rehabbing from a knee injury but more recently had wrist pain emerge. Testing didn't reveal structural damage, and he was originally scheduled to throw at some point during the team's weekend series against the Yankees. His rehab now appears to be in a bit of a holding pattern, and he shouldn't be expected back from the IL in the near future.

Weathers exited Saturday's start against the Rays after three innings and was seen flexing his left arm, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.

Murphy also reports that Weathers' velocity was down in his final inning of work. The report sounds ominous, but there has been no official word from the team.

Heaney exited Saturday's start against the Phillies with a trainer due to an unspecified injury, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Heaney completed six innings while allowing only one earned run on four hits and no walks before being pulled. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, but he threw an errant fastball to Nick Castellanos immediately before being pulled in the middle of the at-bat.

The Diamondbacks transferred Burnes (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

The move allows the Diamondbacks to select Aramis Garcia's contract from Triple-A Reno. Burnes is set to undergo Tommy John surgery later this month, which will sideline him for the rest of the 2025 season and most, if not all, of 2026.

Dollander will start for Colorado against the Mets on Sunday.

The Rockies shifted their rotation around a bit, moving German Marquez to Saturday while tabbing Dollander to start Sunday. It's not clear when Carson Palmquist, who had originally been deemed Saturday's starter, will take his next turn, though Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com reports that the rookie isn't dealing with any sort of injury. Dollander last pitched Tuesday, so he'll be working on four days of rest Sunday.

Palmquist is no longer scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Mets, as German Marquez will instead receive the start for Colorado.

Per Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com, Palmquist isn't dealing with an injury -- instead, there was simply a miscommunication in lining up the rotation. Chase Dollander is now slated to start Sunday, so it's unclear when Palmquist will take his next turn as a starter.

Marquez will start Saturday's game against the Mets.

Carson Palmquist had originally been lined up to start, but Marquez will get the ball instead Saturday. Per Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com, the change is due to a miscommunication rather than any sort of injury. Marquez last pitched Monday, so he'll be working on four days of rest.

The Dodgers activated Kopech (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Kopech missed the first two-plus months of the campaign after developing a shoulder impingement during spring training. The righty reliever began participating in minor-league rehab games in mid-May and posted an 8.53 ERA and 2.21 WHIP over 6.1 innings across nine appearances, though he gave up just one run in four frames over his final five rehab outings. Kopech could regain a high-leverage in the Dodgers' bullpen, though the team may elect to bring him along slowly considering the amount of time he missed. To make room on the 40-man roster for Kopech, Los Angeles designated fellow reliever Chris Stratton for assignment.

The Dodgers placed Gonsolin on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Gonsolin last started Wednesday when he allowed three runs (two earned) over five innings in a loss to the Mets. The right-hander began the campaign on the IL due to a back injury, but this is the first word of Gonsolin dealing with an elbow issue. It's unclear how Los Angeles will immediately replace Gonsolin in the rotation, as the team activated a pair of relievers -- Michael Kopech (shoulder) and Kirby Yates (hamstring) -- from the IL on Saturday.

The Marlins recalled Gillispie from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Gillispie struggled with Miami earlier this season, posting an 8.65 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB over 26 innings while going 0-3 across six starts. He was sent to the minors in late April and has posted a 4.38 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB over 24.2 frames across six outings (five starts) with Jacksonville. Currently, the Marlins' starter for Sunday's matchup versus the Rays is listed as TBD, so Gillispie could take that turn in the rotation.
