Mets' Austin Warren: Out with strained forearm
The Mets placed Warren on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right forearm strain.
The injury could help explain Warren's recent struggles, as he's coughed up nine runs over his last two outings. Prior to those two appearances, Warren had posted a 2.45 ERA and 36:16 K:BB over 33 innings. The Mets haven't provided a timeline for Warren's return, but the nature of the injury suggests he'll be in store for longer than a minimum-length absence.

Giants' Jonah Cox: Heads to IL with oblique strain
The Giants placed Cox on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left oblique strain.
Since his placement on the IL is retroactive to Monday, Cox will be eligible to rejoin the Giants' active roster immediately following the All-Star break, though even mild oblique strains often carry recovery timelines of multiple weeks. Since being called up from Double-A Richmond on May 31, Cox has hit .269 with one home run, four steals, three RBI and five runs in 24 games while serving mainly as a short-side platoon player in the outfield.

Mets' Xzavion Curry: Contract selected
The Mets selected Curry's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.
Curry began the season in the Mexican League before signing with the Mets in May and being assigned to Syracuse, where he logged a 4.74 ERA and 32:12 K:BB over 49.1 innings. He'll give the Mets' bullpen some much-needed length after the club yielded 16 runs in Tuesday's loss to the Royals.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Shielded from southpaw
Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
The Tigers will send Carpenter and fellow left-handed hitters Colt Keith and James Outman to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Ben Malgeri will spell Carpenter in right field and will bat seventh.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Taking seat against lefty
Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
The Tigers will send Keith and fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and James Outman to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Detroit manager A.J. Hinch has shielded Keith from same-handed pitching throughout the season, with the 24-year-old logging just 17 of his 260 plate appearances against lefties.

James Outman CF | DET
Tigers' James Outman: Held out of lineup vs. lefty
Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
The Tigers will send Outman and fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and Colt Keith to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Matt Vierling will cover center field in place of Outman, who went 5-for-35 (.143 average) with two home runs, six RBI, five runs and a 3:14 K:BB while starting in each of the Tigers' last 11 games.

Endy Rodriguez C | PIT
Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Shelved with glute strain
The Pirates placed Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left glute strain.
Rodriguez exited Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals with what had been described as a left hip issue, but the Pirates have since provided more clarity regarding the catcher's injury. Since the 26-year-old backstop's move to the IL is retroactive to Monday, he'll be eligible to play coming out of the All-Star break, though it's not yet clear if Rodriguez is on pace to be ready to play by then. In the meantime, Henry Davis is expected to serve as the Pirates' primary catcher while Rafael Flores was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to provide the team with another option behind the plate.
