  • Dane Myers CF | CIN

    Marlins' Dane Myers: Exits game after HBP

    Myers was removed in the fourth inning of Monday's game against the Phillies due to left elbow discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Myers took a pitch to his left arm from Mick Abel in the second inning. Myers initially stayed in the game, but he went back to the clubhouse for the fourth frame, with Kyle Stowers shifting to center field and Heriberto Hernandez coming into the game in left. The Marlins should provide an update during or shortly after Monday's game once Myers undergoes further testing.

  • Nationals' Michael Cuevas: Promoted to Triple-A

    Cuevas was promoted to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Cuevas has impressed with Double-A Harrisburg this season, posting a 2.10 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 22 strikeouts while securing eight saves and two holds over 25.2 innings in 24 appearances out of the bullpen. The right-hander is a converted starter, and he may have found his stride as a relief pitcher, now sitting just one step away from the major-league roster.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Sent back to minors

    The Padres optioned Campusano to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

    Campusano had been playing sparingly as an occasional designated hitter against left-handed pitching. He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to outfielder Bryce Johnson, who was called up from El Paso.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Padres transferred Darvish (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    The transaction won't affect Darvish's timeline for a return, as he's already spent more than two months on the shelf while waiting to make his 2025 debut for the Padres. The right-hander's move to the 60-day IL will clear a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Bryce Johnson, whose contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso. Darvish was able to make a rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on May 14, but after he experienced renewed soreness in his elbow coming out of that appearance, he was shut down from throwing for about two weeks. The veteran right-hander has since resumed ramping up again and most recently threw a 40-pitch simulated game Saturday, so he could soon be cleared to head back out on a rehab assignment. Darvish looks to be a candidate to return to the San Diego rotation in late June or early July.

  • Padres' Bryce Johnson: Added to roster

    The Padres selected Johnson's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

    He will provide more depth in the outfield while Jackson Merrill (concussion) and Jason Heyward (oblique) are on the injured list. Johnson appeared in 47 games with the Padres last season, slashing only .206/.286/.238.

  • Mason Thompson RP | TEX

    Nationals' Mason Thompson: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Thompson (elbow) will begin his rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Thompson has been cleared to embark on a rehab assignment after his lone outing in the Florida League Complex on Saturday, when he allowed two hits and struck out two batters in one inning. The 27-year-old right-hander is taking the final steps of his recovery from Tommy John surgery in March of 2024. How Thompson's throwing elbow reacts to extended work in Double-A will determine a timeline for his return to the majors.

  • Derek Hill RF | PHI

    Marlins' Derek Hill: Begins hitting progression

    Hill (wrist) began a hitting progression Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Hill has been shelved for the past three weeks with a sprained left wrist but has been cleared to begin a hitting program. He's likely to require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Marlins, and it's unclear when he might be ready for that.

  • Jesus Tinoco RP | MIA

    Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Resumes throwing program

    Tinoco (forearm) resumed a throwing program Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Tinoco has missed much of June with a right forearm strain but has been cleared to play catch. The right-handed reliever will likely require a rehab assignment before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Begins throwing program

    Garrett (elbow) played catch Monday for the first time since having UCL revision surgery with an internal brace on his left elbow in December, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Garrett took the first major step in what will be a lengthy rehab process. He will be sidelined for the entire 2025 season but could be ready in time for Opening Day in 2026 if he can avoid any setbacks in the coming months.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Getting breather Monday

    Realmuto is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Miami.

    Realmuto will get a routine day off after he started at catcher in each of the previous six contests. Rafael Marchan will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Phillies in Monday's series opener.
