Neto was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Neto was visited on the field by a trainer after making a bad throw to first base in the ninth inning. It's possible the young infielder's injury has something to do with his shoulder, which seemed to be giving him trouble after a steal attempt in the eighth, but more clarity should come after the Angels' training staff evaluates him.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

Diaz collected hits in the first, third and fifth innings and came around to score in the latter. He's been on an unreal tear lately, collecting multiple hits in six straight contests and 11 times during his active 14-game hitting streak. During that span, he's gone 29-for-60 (.483), raising his season slash line to .289/.338/.470 with 29 extra-base hits and 36 runs scored.

Bradley (5-5) allowed two hits and a walk over 6.2 shutout frames Tuesday, striking out four and earning a win over Kansas City.

Bradley retired the first 16 batters he faced in the dominant performance. He faced a jam in the sixth inning with two runners in scoring position but escaped unscathed. It was a much-needed rebound after he gave up 19 runs (13 earned) over his previous three appearances. Bradley threw 57 of 87 pitches for strikes to earn his first win since May 21. He now owns a 4.57 ERA with a 77:35 K:BB through 86.2 innings this season. Bradley is lined up to start in Baltimore this weekend.

The Marlins traded Pina to the Blue Jays on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Colby Martin, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Pina was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Saturday, but he will keep a 40-man roster spot upon switching organizations. The 26-year-old righty pitched one inning in his MLB debut Friday, giving up a solo home run in the process. He'll likely head back to Triple-A to begin his tenure with the Blue Jays.

Bubic (6-5) yielded four runs (two earned) on eight hits over six innings Tuesday, striking out eight and taking a loss against the Rays.

Bubic coughed up a two-run homer to Danny Jansen in the second inning. The Rays later plated unearned runs in the fourth and fifth frames. Bubic has posted a 14:1 K:BB over his last two outings after walking four batters against the Yankees on June 11. However, he's given up 10 earned runs in his last three starts after giving up only seven runs in his previous eight outings. Bubic still owns a terrific 2.18 ERA and a 96:27 K:BB through 91 frames. He's currently slated for a tough home matchup against the Dodgers this weekend.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Robert took Ryne Nelson deep in the second inning for the White Sox's lone run of the night. He has just three hits in 27 at-bats since June 17, with two of those going for solo home runs. On another positive note, Robert did not strike out Tuesday night and has a 3:3 BB:K over his last four games.

Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Athletics.

Carpenter wasted no time recording his 14th home run of the season, going deep three batters into the contest. The outfielder had been mired in a slump before Tuesday, going 2-for-33 with 11 strikeouts in 11 games since a three-hit effort back on June 8. Carpenter will need to string together a few more good performances to truly put the slump behind him, but he has the talent to heat up quickly.

Vasil (3-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out one in 5.1 innings.

Vasil was very efficient out of the bullpen after the White Sox went with an opener. He needed just 54 pitches to complete five scoreless innings but was pulled in the seventh after the Diamondbacks put two on with one out, leading to a three-run frame. It was a career-long effort from Vasil, who's now pitched at least three innings in seven straight outings. Vasil lowered his ERA to a 2.82 across 54.1 innings and has been effective as a long reliver for the majority of the season.

Gage, who tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Tuesday's win over the Athletics, has now made five straight scoreless appearances since debuting with the Tigers.

Gage has allowed five hits and two walks in his 5.1 total innings of work so far, but he's yet to allow any runs. It's a small sample, though the lefty was also pitching well for Triple-A Toledo, posting a 1.67 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 32.1 innings with the Mud Hens earlier in the year. Gage could eventually see more high-leverage work out of the Detroit bullpen if he keeps up this level of performance.

Loaisiga was removed from Tuesday's game against the Reds with an apparent injury, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Loaisiga gave up three runs in just one-third of an inning Tuesday before walking off the mound alongside a trainer. It's not immediately clear what's bothering the 30-year-old righty, but the Yankees should provide more details after they take a closer look at him.
