  • Jakob Junis completes two frames Tuesday at AAA
    Jakob Junis (shoulder, head) struck out three over two perfect innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Junis threw 21 pitches in his first rehab outing and will likely require a handful of additional appearances prior to rejoining Milwaukee’s starting rotation mix. The 31-year-old righty has been out since early April due to a shoulder ailment and also suffered a head injury back in late April when he was hit by a ball during batting practice.

  • Report: Chris Martin nursing left shoulder issue
    MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo reports Chris Martin is dealing with a lingering left shoulder issue.

    Advice: Martin will avoid a trip to the injured list for the moment, but the Red Sox have reliever Zack Kelly with the club on their taxi squad just in case. The 38-year-old righty could wind up on the shelf at some point in the coming days, but for the moment he remains on Boston’s active roster. Rotoworld Today, 5:07 pm
     
  • Out for season
    Middleton (forearm) will undergo surgery next week to repair his right flexor tendon and will miss the rest of the season, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: The timing of Middleton's surgery will allow him to return at some point during the 2025 campaign. He signed a one-year deal with St. Louis in February with a $6 million club option for 2025, though the Cardinals' decision on whether or not to bring him back will likely depend on how much of the next season he's expected to miss.
