  • Cade Povich SP | BAL

    Orioles' Cade Povich: Back to throwing

    Povich (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    The left-hander was pulled off his rehab assignment in late May due to renewed soreness in his left hip, but after being re-evaluated and receiving a second opinion, he was cleared to resume throwing. Wednesday will be Povich's second bullpen session since the soreness resurfaced, and he could resume the rehab assignment soon if he avoids further issues.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Throwing off mound soon

    Suarez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session later this week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    It will be his first time throwing from the bump since going down with a right shoulder strain in late March. Suarez is hoping to contribute to the Orioles at some point after the All-Star break, but he still has numerous boxes to check.

  • Cole Ragans RP | KC

    Royals' Cole Ragans: Transferred to 60-day IL

    The Royals transferred Ragans (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Ragans had been scheduled to resume a throwing program Monday, but it's going to take him a while to get built back up after he was shut down for nearly a month with a left rotator cuff strain. He is now not eligible to return until early August.

  • Cam Devanney 3B | PIT

    Royals' Cam Devanney: Contract selected

    The Royals selected Devanney's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    The 28-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors as Mark Canha (elbow) heads to the injured list. Devanney isn't likely to see regular playing time while up with Kansas City and should fill a utility role.

  • Liam Hendriks RP | CHC

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Red Sox transferred Hendriks (hip) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Hendriks recently suffered a setback with his right hip injury and is seeking a second opinion. He's been out since late May and now won't be eligible for activation until late July. The move frees a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Isaiah Campbell.

  • Red Sox's Isaiah Campbell: Contract selected

    The Red Sox selected Campbell's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

    Campbell holds a 3.89 ERA and 33:11 K:BB over 39.1 frames this season with Worcester. The 27-year-old will give Boston a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Richard Fitts SP | STL

    Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Sent back to minors

    The Red Sox optioned Fitts to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    With Hunter Dobbins (elbow) likely to return later this week and the All-Star break looming, Fitts will head to Worcester where he can remain on a regular starter's schedule. He could rejoin the rotation after the break, although it's not a guarantee since Tanner Houck (elbow) is nearing a return.

  • Mark Canha LF | TEX

    Royals' Mark Canha: Lands on IL with elbow injury

    The Royals placed Canha on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow epicondylitis.

    Epicondylitis is the formal diagnosis of "tennis elbow," and it's not clear how long the injury might sideline Canha. Cam Devanney has taken Canha's spot on the roster.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    White Sox's Tristan Gray: Optioned to Triple-A

    The White Sox optioned Gray to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Gray was with the big club for only one day and did not make an appearance. He's clearing out to make room for the return of Luis Robert (hamstring) to the active roster.

  • Luis Robert CF | NYM

    White Sox's Luis Robert: Activated from 10-day IL

    The White Sox activated Robert (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Robert has been shelved since late June with a strained left hamstring, but he has been running lately without issue and will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto Chicago's active roster. Tristan Gray was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.
