  • Elvis Peguero RP | CHW

    Brewers' Elvis Peguero: Demoted to Nashville

    The Brewers optioned Peguero to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    With Rob Zastryzny coming over from the Yankees to bolster the Brewers' bullpen, Peguero will end up as the odd man out without a roster spot. The 28-year-old has given up four earned runs in just 7.1 innings this season, but he could be called upon later in the year if Milwaukee needs to add a fresh arm.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Lands on IL with shoulder injury

    The Diamondbacks placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Friday due to left shoulder inflammation.

    Rodriguez has given up four earned runs or more in four of his last five outings, and his left shoulder injury may have played a factor in those performances. He'll be shut down from throwing and undergo further tests and imaging, and the results will help the Diamondbacks determine a rehab program for the 32-year-old southpaw. With Rodriguez on the 15-day IL and Joe Mantiply optioned to Triple-A Reno, Arizona is bringing up Scott McGough and Christian Montes De Oca from Triple-A in corresponding moves.

  • Rob Zastryzny RP | MIL

    Brewers' Rob Zastryzny: Dealt to Milwaukee

    The Brewers acquired Zastryzny from the Yankees on Friday in exchange for cash and selected him to the active roster.

    Zastryzny has spent all of 2025 in Triple-A, where he owns a 4.50 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 12 innings. He turned in better results with the Brewers last season, giving up one run in 7.2 MLB innings before having his season cut short in late July due to elbow tendinitis. He'll look to repeat his success as he rejoins the organization, replacing Elvis Peguero in Milwaukee's bullpen.

  • Scott McGough RP | ATH

    Diamondbacks' Scott McGough: Recalled by Arizona

    The Diamondbacks recalled McGough from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

    McGough made one appearance for the Diamondbacks on May 3 against the Phillies, but he's otherwise spent the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he's posted a 3.55 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB across 12.2 innings. He'll provide depth out of Arizona's bullpen after Joe Mantiply was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Nationals' Amed Rosario: Recovering from laceration

    Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Rosario is day-to-day after he suffered a left leg laceration when he ran into a table at the team's hotel, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Rosario needed stitches to close the wound and is likely unavailable off the bench Friday in Baltimore. He had drawn three straight starts, but with Luis Garcia back from paternity leave, Rosario's playing time was set to dip even before his injury.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Scratched with back tightness

    Edwards was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays due to back tightness, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

    Edwards has started all 42 games for the Marlins so far this season, but he'll be forced to the bench Friday due to the back issue. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day while Javier Sanoja steps in at shortstop for Miami.

  • Sean Manaea RP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Throwing bullpen session Tuesday

    Manaea (oblique) is slated to throw another bullpen session Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

    Manaea resumed a throwing program in mid-April following a PRP injection and has progressed to throwing from the bump again. He shouldn't be far off from facing hitters and eventually going out on a rehab assignment, but no target date for either has been revealed by the Mets yet.

  • Frankie Montas RP | NYM

    Mets' Frankie Montas: Cleared to face hitters

    Montas (lat) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

    It appears to be the first time Montas will face hitters since he went down with a high-grade right lat strain in mid-February. The right-hander would appear close to a rehab assignment if all goes well, and the Mets have previously pegged early June as a possible return for Montas.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Pushed back with fingernail issue

    Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Friday that Cabrera's next start has been pushed back a few days due to fluid buildup in his fingernail area, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

    Cabrera's next turn had been scheduled to come up this weekend against the Rays, but he appears poised to take the ball early next week versus the Cubs instead, although McCullough didn't reveal the exact day for Cabrera's planned return. The righty has a history of fingernail/blister problems, but it appears at this juncture that this one will not require a stint on the 15-day injured list.

  • Moises Chace SP | PHI

    Phillies' Moises Chace: Needs Tommy John surgery

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Chace will undergo Tommy John surgery, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Chace made six starts with Double-A Reading this season before blowing out his elbow, collecting a 3.24 ERA and 19:12 K:BB over 16.2 innings. The 21-year-old will likely be sidelined until around midseason next year.
