    • Angels activate José Soriano for Tuesday start
      Angels activated RHP José Soriano from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Soriano will take the ball on Tuesday night against the division-rival Athletics after missing one start due to an abdominal infection. The 25-year-old righty has pitched well this season with a solid 3.48 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 60/28 K/BB ratio across 72 1/3 innings (14 appearances, 12 starts). He’s a worthy streaming option for fantasy managers, especially in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:45 pm
       
    • Angels put Andrew Wantz on IL with elbow inflammation
      Angels placed RHP Andrew Wantz on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 1, with right elbow inflammation.

      Advice: No word yet on how long Wantz will be sidelined. The 28-year-old righty was recalled last week from Triple-A Salt Lake and made only one relief appearance before hitting the injured list. Rotoworld Today, 2:41 pm
       
    • Designated for assignment
      The Athletics designated Newcomb for assignment Tuesday.

      Advice: Newcomb made just seven appearances last year for Oakland and it seems that it will be the same this year as well. After posting a 6.30 ERA across 10.0 innings in seven games for Oakland, the 31-year-old will be looking to be claimed elsewhere. In a corresponding move, Tyler Ferguson was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:18 pm
       
    • Nearing bullpen session
      Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Tuesday that Bednar (oblique) has progressed to throwing from 120 feet and should soon resume mound work, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

      Advice: The right-hander was briefly shut down from throwing after he landed on the injured list June 23 with an oblique strain. Bednar will be eligible to be reinstated to the active roster soon, but he could spend more than the 15-day minimum on the shelf since he's yet to get back on the mound. However, he doesn't appear to be in for a lengthy absence and may be able to rejoin the Pirates before the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Today, 2:14 pm

    • Kyle Harrison (ankle) throwing bullpen on Tuesday
      Kyle Harrison (ankle) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday.

      Advice: Harrison isn’t expected to require a minor league rehab assignment before returning to San Francisco’s starting rotation mix after suffering a right ankle sprain back in mid-June. It sounds like he could be back prior to the All-Star break, but that isn’t a lock. Rotoworld Today, 2:12 pm
       
    • Robbie Ray (elbow) to make rehab start Thursday
      Robbie Ray (elbow) will make a minor league rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Sacramento.

      Advice: Ray is progressing towards a midseason return to San Francisco’s starting rotation mix as he completes his rehabilitation from last year’s Tommy John surgery. The 32-year-old southpaw is still capable of missing bats at a high level and is worthy of a speculative stash for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:10 pm
       
    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Athletics recalled Ferguson from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

      Advice: Ferguson was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on the final day of May after posting a 4.50 ERA over 10 innings for Oakland. In Las Vegas, the 30-year-old tallied a 3.49 ERA across 28.1 innings. As part of a corresponding move Tuesday, Sean Newcomb was designated for assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 2:08 pm
       
    • Set to throw off a slope
      Stratton (triceps) is expected to throw off a slope in the coming days, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Tuesday.

      Advice: Stratton has been limited to throwing on flat ground since hitting the IL on June 14, but he's feeling good enough to toss off a slope. It's unclear if he'll require a rehab assignment, Stratton still has several checkpoints to complete before being reinstated. Rotowire.com Today, 2:06 pm
       
    • Casey Mize heading to IL with hamstring strain
      Casey Mize (hamstring) will require a trip to the injured list.

      Advice: Mize will officially land on the injured list at some point this week due to a left hamstring strain. No word yet on the severity of the issue, but the 27-year-old righty figures to be shelved until after the All-Star break. Rotoworld Today, 2:04 pm
