Senga (hamstring) gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings Saturday in his rehab start with Double-A Binghamton.

Senga was expected to throw around 60 pitches Saturday before potentially returning from the 15-day injured list next weekend. He ended up covering 68 pitches Saturday, although the results weren't great. The Mets will likely wait and see how Senga bounces back from the rehab start before deciding whether he'll require another start on the farm or if he's ready to rejoin the big-league rotation.

Snell (shoulder) will throw two innings in a rehab game next week and could return to the big-league rotation in late July, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is set to return next week from a similar injury after needing three rehab starts, so Snell could return in late July or early August, depending on how his shoulder responds. Snell will not travel on the Dodgers' upcoming road trip but will throw a bullpen session Monday before heading out on a rehab assignment.

Glasnow (shoulder) will make a start on the Dodgers' upcoming road trip before the All-Star break, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Manager Dave Roberts has not specified which day Glasnow will return, but given that his last rehab start was July 3, it could be July 9 in Milwaukee or on extended rest July 11 in San Francisco after the Dodgers' off day. Glasnow has an 8.31 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB in 8.2 innings over three rehab outings and built up to 4.1 innings in his most recent start at Triple-A.

Sheehan will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday's game against the Astros, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports,

Sheehan had a decent four-inning, six-strikeout start June 18 for the Dodgers in his return from the 60-day injured list, but was sent back down to Triple-A and responded with a marvelous 13-strikeout performance over six perfect frames for Oklahoma City on June 25. He followed that up with a 2.1-inning outing Tuesday in which he gave up four runs and struck out two batters. He missed all of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but Sheehan has significant upside and would line up to make the Dodgers' final first-half start July 13 in San Francisco if he acquits himself well against Houston.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins that Hoskins will be out at least a few days with a left thumb injury, though the first baseman didn't suffer a fracture, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Hoskins jammed his thumb while tagging out Eric Wagaman at first base in the fourth inning Saturday and remained in the game for the rest of the frame before being replaced by Jake Bauers. Hoskins admitted that he was in quite a bit of pain after the game and wouldn't have been able to swing a bat again Saturday, so it's not clear if he'll be able to return early next week.

Ogasawara (oblique) will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Red Sox, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Ogasawara threw four innings in his most recent rehab start at High-A and is listed as the starter Sunday. Ogasawara, a 27-year-old lefty from Japan, signed a two-year, $3.5 million deal with the Nationals this year and has a 4.80 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 15 innings across three starts at Triple-A.

The Giants optioned Black to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Black ran into some struggles on the mound during his season debut Friday, giving up five runs (three earned) while striking out five batters in four innings out of the bullpen. He'll now return to the minor leagues in favor of Tristan Beck, who will provide the Giants with an additional fresh bullpen arm.

The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Since being sent down to Triple-A on June 18, Beck has given up two unearned runs over 6.1 innings while striking out nine batters. He'll rejoin the big club Saturday to provide San Francisco with a fresh bullpen arm, replacing Mason Black.

The Giants designated Alcantara for assignment Saturday.

Alcantara went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Friday in his first MLB game since 2022, but his time with the Giants will be short-lived now that Matt Chapman (hand) is back from the IL. Alcantara owns a .571 OPS through 256 plate appearances in Triple-A and will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

The Giants reinstated Chapman (hand) from the injured list Saturday.

After going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during a tune-up game at Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Chapman will return to the Giants' lineup Saturday as the cleanup hitter. Prior to getting injured, the 32-year-old third baseman had gone 15-for-38 with three homers, five RBI and seven runs scored in his last 11 games.
