Danny Young RP | ATL
Braves' Danny Young: On rehab assignment
Young (elbow) walked and hit a batter but struck out three in a scoreless inning in his first rehab appearance with Double-A Columbus on Tuesday.
Young began a rehab assignment Saturday at the rookie-level Florida Complex League with a scoreless frame and followed that up with another scoreless outing as he moved up to Columbus. The left-hander is coming back from Tommy John surgery and is tracking toward a season debut around the All-Star break.

Cole Young 2B | SEA
Mariners' Cole Young: Blasts go-ahead homer
Young went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.
The seventh-inning homer, Young's seventh of the year, proved to be the decisive blow in Seattle's one-run victory. After a hot start to the month, Young had cooled off at the plate coming into Tuesday's matchup -- he'd gone just 3-for-20 in his previous six games. Overall, the second baseman is slashing .253/.319/.372 with 34 runs scored, 37 RBI and two stolen bases across 321 plate appearances this season.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
White Sox's Erick Fedde: Working behind opener Wednesday
Fedde is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Chris Murphy in Wednesday's game against the Guardians, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Fedde remains part of the rotation, but the White Sox have taken a liking to deploying him behind an opener in recent weeks. He'll work out of the bullpen for the sixth time in his last seven appearances, likely entering the contest in the second or third inning once Murphy departs.

Cal Raleigh C | SEA
Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Ends power drought Tuesday
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.
Raleigh got Seattle on the board with his fourth-inning blast off Mitch Keller, his eighth homer this year and first since April 27. Prior to Tuesday, Raleigh had gone just 3-for-18 with no extra-base hits in six games since returning from a month-long stint on the IL. It's been a disappointing season overall for Raleigh after his breakout 2025 campaign -- he's now slashing .164/.258/.317 with 21 RBI and 18 runs scored over 209 plate appearances.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Throws 64 pitches in rehab start
Greene (elbow) struck out three and scattered two hits and one walk over four scoreless frames in a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Greene threw 64 pitches in his second rehab outing and first with Louisville. He averaged 98.4 mph with his four-seamer Tuesday, down a bit from his average of 99.5 mph last season. His results have been excellent through his first two rehab starts, with Greene firing eight scoreless innings with a 9:2 K:BB. Per MLB.com, Greene is expected to build up to 70-to-85 pitches in one final rehab start with Louisville on Sunday before returning from the 60-day injured list in the first week of July. He's working his way back from mid-March surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow.

Andres Munoz RP | SEA
Mariners' Andres Munoz: Nails down 14th save
Munoz struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 14th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Pirates.
The right-hander was at his dominant best, firing 12 of 16 pitches for strikes and popping triple digits on the radar gun with half his offerings, topping out at 102 mph. Munoz has been erratic this season, but he may be finding his form -- he's converted saves in four straight scoreless appearances while delivering a 7:2 K:BB in four innings.

Robert Suarez RP | ATL
Braves' Robert Suarez: Nursing tight forearm
Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said after Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Padres in 10 innings that Suarez wasn't available due to forearm tightness, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The injury explains why Atlanta didn't turn to Suarez and instead tried to get two innings out of closer Raisel Iglesias with the score tied late, a move that backfired in the 10th. Suarez last pitched Friday, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings and 28 pitches in a win over the Brewers. Weiss downplayed any concern about Suarez's forearm issue, noting that the right-hander could be ready to return to his usual high-leverage relief role in Wednesday's series finale.

George Kirby SP | SEA
Mariners' George Kirby: Back in win column Tuesday
Kirby (6-7) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits and two walks over six innings in a 3-2 victory over the Pirates. He struck out five.
The right-hander produced his ninth quality start of the season on 91 pitches (65 strikes), but it took a Cole Young two-run homer in the top of the seventh inning to finally get Kirby back in the win column. He'd gone 0-5 over his prior six starts, stumbling to a 6.27 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB in 33 innings during the losing streak. With that monkey off his back, Kirby will look to build on Tuesday's performance in his next outing, which is set to come on the road this weekend in Cleveland.

Ben Malgeri RF | DET
Tigers' Ben Malgeri: Two hits in big-league debut
Malgeri went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.
The 26-year-old got the start in right field and batted ninth in his big-league debut, and Malgeri seized the opportunity by singling in his first MLB plate appearance before coming around to score. Tuesday's start came against southpaw Carlos Rodon, and Malgeri is likely to find himself filling a short-side platoon role in Detroit's lefty-heavy outfield while he's up with the big club.

Casey Mize SP | DET
Tigers' Casey Mize: Fans six in Tuesday's loss
Mize (2-5) took the loss Tuesday as the Tigers fell 4-3 to the Yankees, giving up four runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.
The right-hander was nursing a 2-1 lead until running out of gas in the sixth inning, with a two-run homer by Jazz Chisholm putting New York in the lead for good. Mize was lifted after 97 pitches (65 strikes), and while he has a 9:2 K:BB in 10.1 innings over two starts since recovering from adductor inflammation, little else has been going right for him. He hasn't won a game since April 22, producing a 0-4 record over his last six big-league starts despite a 3.38 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB in 29.1 innings. Mize will try to end that winless streak in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home this weekend against the Astros.
