    Canzone isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

  • Could join Brewers next week
    Junis (shoulder) will pitch another sim game in Arizona on Monday and could join the Brewers afterward, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Brewers embark on a seven-game West Coast trip Monday, playing three-games in Los Angeles and four in San Diego. Already in Arizona, Junis could rejoin the team during that stretch, though it's unclear if he'd immediately return to the rotation or would be eased in from the bullpen. The 31-year-old was moved to Arizona from Triple-A Nashville due to velocity concerns and most recently threw a four-inning simulated game Wednesday. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

  • Lands on IL with calf strain
    The Rockies placed Diaz on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left calf strain, retroactive to June 11.

    Advice: Diaz was removed in the bottom half of the first inning of Monday's game against the Twins after straining his left calf while running out of the batter's box to first base. He was held out for the rest of the series against Minnesota with the hope he would be available for the weekend series against Pittsburgh, but the 33-year-old catcher will be on the shelf for an extended period of time. Jacob Stallings got the start for Diaz over the last two games of the series against the Twins, and the former figures to get most of the starts behind home plate in the latter's absence, though Hunter Goodman will provide some depth and will start at catcher for Saturday's game, per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com.

  • Reinstated from IL
    Jones (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Jones has been on the injured list since April 30 due to back stiffness. His initial rehab assignment was halted May 21 due to right knee soreness stemming from a slide, but he was able to resume activities June 3. Jones appeared in nine games for his second rehab stint with Triple-A Albuquerque, going 8-for-33 with three doubles, one home run and five RBI. The 26-year-old will be available for Friday's series opener against the Pirates. To make room for Jones, Colorado placed Elias Diaz on the 10-day IL with a left calf strain, retroactive to June 11.
