Tidwell didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Phillies, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

The rookie right-hander made his second spot start of the season for the major-league club, producing nine whiffs in an abbreviated outing. Although Tidwell didn't offer New York's injury-riddled rotation much length, as he threw just 43 of his 74 pitches for strikes, he kept the ball in the yard and held a formidable Phillies lineup to only four singles. Frankie Montas (lat) appears to be on the cusp of making his season debut, which will likely bump Tidwell back to Triple-A Syracuse.

Pallante (5-3) picked up the win Friday against the Reds, giving up no runs on two hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

Pallante flummoxed the Reds in his second scoreless start of the year, submitting 12 whiffs while also inducing 10 groundouts. The 26-year-old right-hander also tied his season low in hits allowed en route to his sixth quality start among 15 outings in 2025. Pallante still owns an uninspiring 4.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB over 82.1 innings, but he does lead the major leagues in groundouts (139) among pitchers. That said, he'll be hard to trust in his next projected appearance versus a Cubs offense that entered Friday with MLB's lowest groundball rate (38.2 percent) for the season.

Singer (7-5) took the loss Friday against the Cardinals, giving up one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out seven.

Singer tallied his most strikeouts since his fifth start of the season. The veteran right-hander has now worked at least five innings in seven consecutive outings, and Friday marked the sixth time in 15 appearances this year that he's thrown at least six frames while yielding two runs or fewer. Singer has a 3.23 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 28:18 K:BB across his last seven starts (39 innings), and he's set to draw a difficult assignment at home versus the Yankees his next time out.

Borucki was removed from Friday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Borucki gave up one run and recorded just one out before departing the game with a trainer. It's not immediately clear what is bothering him, but the Pirates should offer some more details once they take a closer look at him.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Sasaki (shoulder) has restarted his throwing program by playing catch from 60-to-90 feet, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Sasaki paused his throwing program last week due to feeling uncomfortable ramping up to full intensity, but he'll now give it another shot after sitting down for a few days. The 23-year-old righty will likely remain without a defined return timeline until he begins throwing off a mound or facing hitters, but he's guaranteed to be out through the All-Star break after moving to the 60-day IL on Friday.

Henry (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Henry was placed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list June 12 due to left elbow discomfort, and after seeking multiple opinions, Tommy John surgery was elected as the best path moving forward for the 27-year-old southpaw. Henry will miss the rest of the 2025 season, and given the procedure, he'll likely miss most -- if not all -- of 2026. Henry appeared in two major-league games for the Diamondbacks this season but spent most of the year in Triple-A, where he posted a 2-6 record in 11 starts with an 8.12 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 51:21 K:BB across 54.1 innings.

Ruiz is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

Ruiz -- who went 1-for-12 over his last three starts -- will get a breather for Friday's series opener. Riley Adams will serve behind home plate and bat eighth while catching pitches from Nationals southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

Suarez was issued a three-game suspension from Major League Baseball on Friday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Suarez was ejected from Thursday's game against the Dodgers after hitting Shohei Ohtani with a pitch, and the 34-year-old closer will now receive a three-game ban on top of it. Suarez is appealing the suspension, so he will remain on the Padres' active roster until a verdict is reached.

Santana received a four-game suspension and fine from the league Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

The incident occurred during the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers for "aggressive conduct toward a fan near the bullpen." The suspension was set to start Friday, but Santana has appealed the suspension and will be available out of the bullpen until the process is complete. He has a 1.72 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP, five holds and a 25:5 K:BB across 31.1 innings this season.

The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wisely will take the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by Justin Verlander (personal), who was placed on the Giants' paternity list in a corresponding move. Wisely has appeared in five major-league games for the Giants this season, with his last outing taking place May 11 against the Twins. He is slashing .230/.308/.357 with six steals, five home runs and 30 RBI across 223 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.
