  • Orioles shift Tyler Wells to 60-day injured list
    Orioles transferred RHP Tyler Wells from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Wells is out for the season and probably the first half of 2025 after having his UCL repaired earlier this week. Rotoworld Today, 10:08 am
     
  • Resumes playing catch
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that Brown (neck) resumed throwing Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Brown landed on the 15-day injured list June 11 with what the Cubs labeled as a stress reaction to the left side of his neck. Counsell said that the pain in Brown's neck is already subsiding, and the fact that the right-hander is throwing again bodes well for his chances of avoiding an extended absence. Jordan Wicks (oblique) was placed on the IL just four days after Brown, so the Cubs have turned back to Kyle Hendricks as their No. 5 starter in the meantime. Rotowire.com Today, 10:08 am

  • Luis Ortiz experiences forearm soreness in rehab
    Luis Ortiz, who has been on the injured list since March 31 with an ankle sprain, suffered forearm tightness in his appearance for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and left the game.

    Advice: Ortiz was making his fifth rehab appearance and could have been a candidate to join the Phillies pen later this month. That’s probably not happening now. Rotoworld Today, 10:03 am
     
  • Takes extra-inning loss
    Roycroft (1-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits over two-thirds of an inning to take a blown save and the extra-inning loss versus the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Advice: Due to recent workloads, the Cardinals were short in the bullpen Tuesday, leaving Roycroft to protect a one-run lead in the 10th inning. It didn't work out, as the right-hander saw his 6.2-inning scoreless streak come to an end. It's his first blown save, though he's still done a decent job at run prevention this year with a 3.38 ERA over 13.1 innings. He has a less impressive 1.65 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB while mainly working in a low-leverage role. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 am
     
  • Getting spot start Wednesday
    Liberatore will start Wednesday's game in Miami in place of the injured Kyle Gibson (back), Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Gibson was a late scratch, forcing the Cardinals to turn to Liberatore, who threw 12 pitches and allowed one run over two-thirds of an inning in a relief appearance during Tuesday's loss to the Marlins. Liberatore has made three starts for St. Louis this season, but his last one came a month ago. He hasn't thrown more than 23 pitches in an appearance since then and will be going on zero days' rest Wednesday, so he'll presumably be in store for an abbreviated outing.

  • Kyle Gibson gets scratched due to back tightness
    Kyle Gibson was scratched from his start Wednesday against the Marlins due to back tightness.

    Advice: Gibson was activated from the bereavement list before the game, but he won’t be able to go today. Matthew Liberatore is starting in his place. Rotoworld Today, 9:44 am
     
  • Late scratch with back tightness
    Gibson was scratched from Wednesday's start in Miami due to back tightness, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Matthew Liberatore will draw the start Wednesday on short notice, as Gibson's back must have tightened up on him while he was warming up before the game. Consider Gibson day-to-day until the Cardinals provide more details. Rotowire.com Today, 9:43 am
     
  • Goes on paternity leave
    The Cubs placed Thompson on the paternity list prior to Wednesday's game against the Giants, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

    Advice: After striking out the side in Tuesday's 5-2 win to net his first save of the season, Thompson will be away from the team for at least the next 1-to-3 games following the birth of his son earlier Wednesday. The Cubs called up right-hander Porter Hodge from Triple-A Iowa to take Thompson's spot in the bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 9:35 am
     
  • Returns to majors
    The Cubs recalled Hodge from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

    Advice: Hodge was optioned to Iowa less than two weeks ago, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Cubs since right-hander Keegan Thompson (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move. Over his six relief appearances with the Cubs earlier this season, Hodge gave up two earned runs on two hits and four walks while striking out seven. Rotowire.com Today, 9:32 am
