    • Hits IL with strained forearm
      The Cubs placed Assad on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right forearm extensor strain, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: It's not clear how long Assad's forearm has been bothering him, but he's stumbled in June with a 5.49 ERA after entering the month with a 2.27 mark. Assad had been slated to get a start this weekend in Milwaukee, but the Cubs will need to find a substitute to fill in for that outing and at least one additional start next week, as well.

    • Moved to 60-day IL
      The Cubs transferred Almonte (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: Almonte suffered a setback in his recovery from a right shoulder strain this past week. He remains without an updated return timeline, but his move to the 60-day IL suggests the 30-year-old righty isn't expected back relatively soon. The Cubs signed Vinny Nittoli to an MLB deal Thursday to fill the open spot on the 40-man roster. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
       
    • Yankees send reliever Gómez back to minors
      Yankees optioned RHP Yoendrys Gómez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

      Advice: Gómez was called up on Saturday after posting a 3.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 54/26 K/BB ratio over 46 innings in his 12 starts in the minors. However, he struggled in his only appearance with the Yankees, allowing five runs on four hits in two innings. He’ll go back into the Triple-A rotation and Jake Cousins was called up in a corresponding move. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
       
    • Receiving afternoon off
      Bailey is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Bailey will get a breather for Thursday's day game after he started behind the plate in both of the first two games of the series. Curt Casali will spell him at catcher, forming a battery with starting pitcher Jordan Hicks. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
       
    • Red Sox send reliever Campbell back to minors
      Red Sox optioned RHP Isaiah Campbell to Triple-A Worcester.

      Advice: Campbell was just promoted on Monday after posting a 2.19 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 18/3 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings at Triple-A. However, he was lit up for three runs on three hits in 1/3 of an inning in his only appearance this week. He’ll try to figure things out at Triple-A; although, that hasn’t helped so far this season. LHP Bailey Horn is allegedly being called up to take his place. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
       
    • Red Sox option Tyler Heineman to the minors
      Red Sox optioned Tyler Heineman to Triple-A Worcester.

      Advice: With Connor Wong coming off the paternity list, Tyler Heineman will go back to the minors. He will continue to act as veteran organizational depth. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
       
    • Getting spot start Thursday
      Kuhl will start Thursday's game against Atlanta at Guaranteed Rate Field.

      Advice: Kuhl had started in 11 of his 13 appearances at Triple-A Charlotte prior to being called up June 14, but his first three outings with the big club have come out of the bullpen. However, Kuhl covered 4.1 innings and 99 pitches in long relief while mopping up in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Tigers, so even though he'll be pitching on three days' rest, he should be able to provide the White Sox with a decent amount of length in a starting role. Unless he impresses against Atlanta to earn himself a longer stay in the rotation, Kuhl will likely be moved back to the bullpen or sent to the minors after Thursday's start.

    • Not in Arizona lineup
      Suarez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Twins.

      Advice: Suarez had started each of the previous eight games but went just 2-for-24 over that stretch to drop his season line down to .192/.274/.312. The Diamondbacks are giving Kevin Newman a start at third base Thursday. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
       
    • Red Sox activate Connor Wong from paternity list
      Red Sox activated Connor Wong from the Paternity List.

      Advice: Wong was placed on the paternity list on Monday and wound up missing two games for the Red Sox. He should be back in the starting lineup soon. Tyler Heineman was optioned back to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
