  • Lands on IL with elbow injury
    The Blue Jays placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right elbow ulnar neuritis.

    Advice: Garcia was forced out of his save chance in Sunday's 7-6 win over Cleveland after experiencing right elbow soreness. The MRI after Sunday's game showed no structural damage to Garcia's right elbow, but it did reveal ulnar nerve symptoms, per Hazel Mae of Sportsnet. While there was optimism that Garcia would be day-to-day with the injury, he will now be on the shelf until at least the beginning of July. With Jordan Romano (elbow) still on the IL, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Chad Green will operate as the interim closer for Toronto, per Mae. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm

  • Set for re-evaluation soon
    Reds manager David Bell said Friday that Gibaut (forearm) is scheduled to meet with a doctor soon before the next step in his rehab process is decided, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: If Gibaut gets clearance to resume baseball activities upon meeting with the doctor, Bell noted that the right-hander could be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list in as soon as six weeks. Gibaut had been shut down all season with a right forearm strain before undergoing anterior interosseous nerve release surgery May 9. Rotowire.com Today, 3:02 pm

  • Designated for assignment
    The Angels designated Suarez for assignment Monday.

    Advice: Suarez looked like he was going to be a solid mid-rotation starter for the Angels when he posted a 3.86 ERA and 188:69 K:BB over 207.1 innings from 2021-22. It's been tough sledding since then, though, with an 8.22 ERA over 29 appearances (eight starts). He also missed a large chunk of 2023 with shoulder problems. Still, as a 26-year-old that's shown promise in the past, there might be interest in Suarez via trade or waivers. Rotowire.com Today, 2:51 pm
     
  • Angels designate José Suarez for assignment
    Angels designated LHP José Suarez for assignment,

    Advice: It was pretty obvious this was coming after Suarez gave up five runs in an inning Sunday against the Giants. It left the 26-year-old with an 8.15 ERA in 35 1/3 innings this season and an 8.22 ERA in 69 innings since the beginning of last year. He was pretty good between 2021 and ’22 (16-16, 3.86 ERA, 188/69 K/BB in 207 1/3 IP), and another franchise might have more luck with him. Rotoworld Today, 2:48 pm
     
  • Back to Double-A
    The Rockies optioned Chivilli to Double-A Hartford on Monday.

    Advice: Chivilli received his second big-league call-up of the season June 3, and over his five appearances in the majors, he gave up five runs on eight hits while striking out two over 5.1 innings. He was sent back to Double-A to clear room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for right-hander Jake Bird (elbow), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Lands on IL with shoulder strain
    The Rockies placed Rogers on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left rotator cuff strain.

    Advice: Over his five major-league appearances this season, the 29-year-old southpaw registered a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 9.1 innings. With Rogers going on the IL and Angel Chivilli getting optioned to Double-A Hartford, the Rockies filled the open spots in the bullpen by activating Justin Lawrence (shoulder) and Jake Bird (elbow) from the IL.

  • Activated from injured list
    The Rockies reinstated Lawrence (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Lawrence had been on the shelf since May 27 with a right shoulder strain. He didn't look particularly good in his lone rehab appearance with Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits one walk while registering one out. The Rockies were convinced enough in the 29-year-old's health to add him back to the big-league bullpen ahead of Monday's series opener with the Dodgers. He had previously picked up two saves in his 20 appearances with the Rockies prior to landing on the IL, but Lawrence will likely serve as a setup man for closer Tyler Kinley upon his return.

  • Returns from IL
    The Rockies reinstated Bird (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Bird had been on the IL since May 19 due to right elbow inflammation. Over his three rehab appearances with Triple-A Albuquerque and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, Bird allowed one earned run while striking out five over three innings. The 28-year-old right-hander should settle into a middle-relief or setup role for the Rockies as the team begins a four-game series Monday against the Dodgers. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
