Cooper Ingle LF | CLE
Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Sent back to Triple-A
The Guardians optioned Ingle to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Ingle appeared in seven games for Cleveland after he was promoted from Columbus on June 26. In 24 trips to the plate, Ingle went 2-for-21 with a pair of singles, two RBI, one run scored and a 3:12 BB:K. He'll head back to the minors for more seasoning.

Brett Harris 1B | BOS
Red Sox's Brett Harris: Joining big club
The Red Sox recalled Harris from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.
Harris was acquired from the Athletics late last month and will now join the Red Sox after he slashed .336/.441/.537 across 178 plate appearances with Triple-A Las Vegas prior to being dealt to Boston nine days ago. The veteran has less success in a much smaller sample at Worcester, however, producing a .167 average and .583 OPS in 20 plate appearances.

Anthony Seigler 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Anthony Seigler: In Thursday's lineup
Seigler (trapezius) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Thursday's game versus the White Sox.
Seigler had to be removed from Wednesday's contest with a right trapezius contusion following a play at the plate, but he will not have to miss a start. The 27-year-old has slashed .293/.379/.448 in 18 games for the Red Sox while serving as the team's primary leadoff man of late.

Ranger Suarez SP | BOS
Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Sent to IL with groin strain
The Red Sox placed Suarez on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left groin strain.
Suarez exited his previous start Sunday against the Angels due to what the Red Sox referred to as left adductor tightness, but a subsequent MRI revealed a groin strain, which will keep the southpaw out through the All-Star break and prevent him from pitching in the Midsummer Classic. Suarez earned his second All-Star nod after compiling a 3.15 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 97:26 K:BB across 91.1 innings in his first season with Boston. His turn in the rotation had been set to come up Saturday at Citi Field, and the Red Sox are now likely to call up Brayan Bello from Triple-A Worcester to either start or pitch in bulk relief in that game against the Mets.

Willson Contreras 1B | BOS
Red Sox's Willson Contreras: Held out of Thursday's lineup
Contreras (foot) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the White Sox.
Contreras fouled a ball off his left foot in Wednesday's contest and eventually exited with a contusion. He is considered day-to-day. Brett Harris is up from Triple-A Worcester and starting at first base for the Red Sox in the series finale.

Connor Prielipp SP | MIN
Twins' Connor Prielipp: Sent to IL with blister
The Twins placed Prielipp on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a blister on his left middle finger.
Prielipp started Wednesday's game against the Guardians but didn't factor into the decision in the 6-5 win after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts across five innings. The rookie has submitted a 5.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB across 66.2 innings this season, though a 3.98 SIERA paints a rosier picture for his performance. As a result of his move to the IL, he won't be eligible to rejoin the Minnesota rotation until July 24.

Kendry Rojas RP | MIN
Twins' Kendry Rojas: Back with big club
The Twins recalled Rojas from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.
The 23-year-old rejoins the big club for the third time this season. Rojas has made six appearances (two starts) for the Twins, producing a 1.65 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB across 16.1 innings. He's expected to serve as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen while he's up with Minnesota.

Bailey Ober SP | MIN
Twins' Bailey Ober: Activated for start Thursday
The Twins activated Ober (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Ober has been sidelined since May 30 with a right flexor strain, but he'll take the mound Thursday against Cleveland after making a pair of rehab starts. The right-hander is 6-3 with a 4.59 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB across 66.2 innings this season.

Khal Stephen SP | CLE
Guardians' Khal Stephen: Undergoes UCL surgery
Stephen (elbow) underwent surgery to repair his UCL on Monday and will be sidelined 10-to-12 months, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
As opposed to a UCL reconstruction, the repair comes with a slightly shorter recovery timeline. Stephen is obviously done for the 2026 season and likely won't see any game action until some point in the first half of the 2027 campaign. The 23-year-old was a second-round pick by the Blue Jays in 2024 and was acquired in the Shane Bieber deal last summer. Across 12 starts with Double-A Akron this season, Stephen pitched to a 3.27 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 49:23 K:BB across 55 innings.

Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Playing catch Thursday
Rodon (elbow) will play catch Thursday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
It will be the first time Rodon has done any throwing since he landed on the 15-day injured list Friday with left elbow inflammation. The Yankees will ease Rodon back into a throwing progression and do not expect the southpaw back until at least early-to mid-August.
