  • Yankees put Cody Poteet on IL with triceps strain
    Yankees placed RHP Cody Poteet on the 15-day injured list with a right triceps strain.

    Advice: No word yet on how long Poteet will be sidelined as he’s pitched extremely well in a handful of starts with a pristine 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 13/7 K/BB ratio across 21 innings (four starts). It’ll be Gerrit Cole taking his spot later this week in New York’s starting rotation. Any extended absence would be a hit to the Yankees’ pitching depth. Rotoworld Today, 1:25 pm

  • Out with strained triceps
    The Yankees placed Poteet on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right triceps strain, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Poteet will be shut down from throwing for 1-to-2 weeks before being re-evaluated. He's fared well in four starts with the Yankees this season, posting a 2.14 ERA and 13:7 K:BB over 21 innings. However, with Gerrit Cole (elbow) due back this week, Poteet's future role was looking uncertain. Rotowire.com Today, 1:22 pm

  • One more start
    Mazur is likely to get one more start Thursday, with Yu Darvish needing a rehab outing on Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Mazur has struggled with his first taste of the majors, posting a 7.82 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in his three starts, with 13 walks in 12.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 1:01 pm
     
  • Returns to Triple-A
    The Rangers optioned Winn to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

    Advice: Winn pitched in the past two games after being recalled by Texas on Sunday, and he'll return to the minors after he gave up four runs across three innings. He's made 13 appearances in the big leagues this year and has a 7.79 ERA across 17.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm

  • Cole Winn heading back to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Cole Winn to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Winn threw two innings Monday in the lopsided loss to the Mets and gave up a pair of runs. The former top prospect will return to Triple-A with Yerry Rodriguez called up to provide a fresh arm. Rotoworld Today, 12:49 pm

  • Throws second bullpen
    Priester (lat) completed a bullpen session Tuesday and could face live hitters next, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Priester has thrown off a mound twice since going on the 15-day IL on June 6, and assuming he didn't sustain a setback Tuesday, should face batters soon. While the 24-year-old should be activated from the 15-day injured list later this month, it's unclear if he'll stick with the Pirates or get optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis.

  • RHP prospect Perales to undergo Tommy John surgery
    Red Sox RHP prospect Luis Perales will undergo Tommy John surgery.

    Advice: The right-hander was removed from his outing on June 9 with right elbow inflammation, and after undergoing tests, it’s determined that the 21-year-old needs to undergo the season-ending surgery. Perales is one of the top pitching prospects in the Boston system, and he had reached Double-A with a 2.94 ERA and 56/12 K/BB ratio. Perales likely won’t see the mound again until late in the 2025 season at the earliest. Rotoworld Today, 11:44 am
     
  • Will undergo Tommy John surgery
    Perales (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery next week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: Perales had to leave a start at Double-A Portland earlier this month with an elbow injury, and subsequent testing has revealed the bad news. The 21-year-old will likely be sidelined at least until late in the 2025 season, if not 2026. Perales held a 2.94 ERA and 56:12 K:BB over 33.2 innings between High-A Greenville and Portland this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:35 am
     
  • Progressing slowly
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Verlander's (neck) progress has been "slower than we expected," Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Verlander was scratched of his most recently scheduled start this past weekend against the Tigers because of neck discomfort. The club had been hoping he would be ready to start Thursday versus the White Sox, and while Espada didn't seem to officially rule Verlander out for the series finale in Chicago, he now appears likely to be pushed back again. Houston could have Spencer Arrighetti and Ronel Blanco both move up a day to start on Thursday and Friday, respectively, which would keep both pitchers on their typical four days' rest. The arrangement would also give Verlander a couple extra days to heal up if the team thinks he could take the ball Saturday versus the Orioles. A stint on the injured list for Verlander also can't be ruled out. Rotowire.com Today, 11:03 am
