  • Edwin Uceta RP | TB

    Rays' Edwin Uceta: Suffers setback with shoulder

    Manager Kevin Cash said Friday that Uceta (shoulder) suffered a setback and received a PRP injection, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Uceta is now in wait-and-see mode, according to Cash. The 28-year-old Uceta has been on the injured list all season with a right shoulder impingement and now appears to be looking at an even lengthier absence. Uceta went 10-3 across 70 appearances out of the Rays' bullpen last season, logging a 3.79 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 103:27 K:BB in 76 innings.

  • David Peterson SP | CHC

    Mets' David Peterson: Demoted to bullpen

    Peterson has been demoted to the Mets' bullpen, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Peterson has had a disastrous couple months while splitting his time between starting pitcher and bulk reliever, holding a 5.57 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 53:23 K:BB over 53.1 innings. He will be available to pitch in relief beginning Sunday. Sean Manaea is taking Peterson's spot as a starter/bulk reliever.

  • Nick Mears RP | KC

    Royals' Nick Mears: Placed on injured list

    The Royals placed Mears on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder impingement.

    Mears was tagged for three runs on two hits and two walks with one strikeout across two-thirds of an inning in Wednesday's 7-0 loss to the Yankees and will now miss at least the next couple weeks. On the season, he owns a 5.12 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB across 19.1 innings.

  • Royals' Eric Cerantola: Recalled to Kansas City

    The Royals recalled Cerantola from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

    Cerantola will rejoin the Royals in Texas after recording two appearances with Kansas City on May 6 and 7. With Triple-A Omaha this year, the 26-year-old has posted a 1.37 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB in 18 appearances. Nick Mears (shoulder) will be placed on the 15-day IL to make room for Cerantola on the active roster.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Will begin running Saturday

    Teel (knee) will begin a running program Saturday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Teel has yet to play with the White Sox this season after he initially suffered a hamstring injury during the World Baseball Classic. He began a rehab assignment earlier this month but then sustained a sprained LCL in his right knee after four games with Triple-A Charlotte. Now on the 60-day injured list, Teel will begin to ramp things back up with an eye toward returning to the Chicago lineup sometime next month.

  • Charles McAdoo 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Making major-league debut

    McAdoo will start at second base and bat sixth against the Orioles on Friday.

    After being promoted to Toronto on Thursday, McAdoo will make his MLB debut against left-hander Trevor Rogers on Friday. McAdoo will start at second base over Ernie Clement, who will shift to shortstop and give Andres Gimenez a breather.

  • MJ Melendez DH | NYM

    Mets' MJ Melendez: Out of Friday's lineup

    Melendez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Marlins.

    After getting off to a hot start for the Mets, Melendez is just 2-for-35 across his last 18 games. The Mets will go with Jared Young at designated hitter against Marlins right-hander Max Meyer.

  • River Ryan SP | DET

    Dodgers' River Ryan: Another strong start at Triple-A

    Ryan fired six scoreless innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City against Sugar Land on Thursday, striking out eight and giving up four hits and no walks.

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said in mid-May that there was a "slim chance" of the 27-year-old joining the big-league rotation in place of Blake Snell (elbow), and Ryan has remained with Oklahoma City for the past three turns through the rotation. The right-hander has been dominant through five Triple-A starts this year with a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 29:3 K:BB across 22 innings. After giving up just three earned runs across four outings in his first taste of the big leagues last year, it's likely only a matter of time before Ryan gets another look in 2026.

  • Tyler Gilbert RP | CHW

    White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Joins big-league roster

    The White Sox recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    With Jordan Leasure headed to the injured list with a right flexor strain, Gilbert will join Chicago's bullpen mix. The left-hander has appeared in two games for the White Sox this season, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts across 2.2 innings.

  • Nolan Gorman 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Sitting against left-hander

    Gorman is out of the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    St. Louis will leave Gorman out of Friday's lineup against lefty Shota Imanaga. Thomas Saggese will take over at third base for Gorman and hit eighth in the batting order.
