    • Placed on injured list
      The Cubs placed Thompson on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right rib fracture, retroactive to Thursday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Thompson has fired 5.1 scoreless innings since returning from Triple-A Iowa on June 16, but he'll now be sidelined for at least the next two weeks as a result of his injury. Ethan Roberts will come up from the minors to fill the vacancy in Chicago's bullpen. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
       
    • Cubs promote Jorge Lopez from Triple-A Iowa
      Cubs selected the contract of RHP Jorge Lopez from Triple-A Iowa.

      Advice: The 31-year-old hurler inked a minor league deal with the Cubs just two weeks ago, so it didn’t take him long to work his way into the big-league bullpen. Lopez has logged 26 1/3 innings at the big-league level this season, posting a 3.76 ERA and a 19/11 K/BB ratio. Vinny Nittoli was designated for assignment in a corresponding move on Friday.

    • Recalled by Arizona
      The Diamondbacks recalled Castellanos from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

      Advice: It'll be the second stint in the majors for Castellanos this season after his contract was selected June 6. The 28-year-old right-hander made one appearance for the big club June 7 against the Padres and was optioned back to the minors the next day. Castellanos has started in 11 games for Triple-A Reno this season, but he will likely serve out of Arizona's bullpen with right-hander Scott McGough being optioned to Reno in the corresponding move and ace Zac Gallen (hamstring) set to return from the injured list.

    • Idle Friday
      Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Jeffers and Christian Vazquez have alternated catching duties throughout most of June, with Friday being Vazquez's turn behind the dish. Jeffers owns a .802 OPS and a career-best 20.8 percent K rate this season. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
       
    • Cubs place Keegan Thompson (ribs) on 15-day IL
      Cubs placed RHP Keegan Thompson on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 27, with a right rib fracture.

      Advice: It’s unclear exactly when the injury occurred, but the last time that the 29-year-old hurler took the hill he worked a perfect inning against the Giants on Wednesday. No word yet on how long the Cubs expect him to be sidelined for. Ethan Roberts was recalled from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move on Friday to take his spot in the Cubs’ bullpen.

    • Sent to Reno
      The Diamondbacks optioned McGough to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

      Advice: Since being called up to Arizona on June 8, McGough has posted an 8.18 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 11 innings while striking out 10 batters and walking eight. He'll now head back to Triple-A following his poor performance, and Humberto Castellanos will rejoin the D-backs as McGough's replacement. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
       
    • Starting Friday
      Correa (wrist) is playing shortstop and batting second Friday against Seattle.

      Advice: Correa was removed from Thursday's game after being hit by a pitch, but he won't require a day off due to the bruised right wrist. He went 4-for-9 with four runs and two RBI during the Twins' three-game series against Arizona. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
       
    • Carlos Correa (wrist) returns to lineup on Friday
      Carlos Correa (wrist) returned to the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Mariners.

      Advice: The 29-year-old shortstop was drilled in the right wrist by a fastball during Thursday’s game against the Diamondbacks. Correa told reporters afterwards that he was fine though and that he planned to play on Friday, and true to his word he’s in the lineup and batting second against Logan Gilbert and the M’s on Friday evening in Seattle. On the season, Correa is slashing a healthy .309/.380/.494 to go along with eight homers and 38 RBI in 267 plate appearances. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
       
    • Next start set for Tuesday
      Crawford's next start will come on Tuesday in Miami after his last outing was suspended by rain, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Crawford threw only 23 pitches over 1.1 scoreless innings Wednesday against the Blue Jays before inclement weather forced any early end to his night. Despite the righty's limited workload in that outing, the Red Sox have elected to give Crawford five days of rest before his next start. He's tentatively lined up for two starts next week, as a date with the Yankees looms next weekend. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
