    • Begins throwing program
      Leiter (forearm) began a throwing program Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Manager Craig Counsell said Leiter is slated to throw again Saturday. It's unclear whether Leiter has been throwing off flat ground or a mound, but it certainly is a positive sign that the 33-year-old was able to start a throwing program just five days after landing on the IL with a strain in his right (throwing) forearm. He'll still most likely remain on the injured list for more than a minimum-length stay, but a return before the All-Star break hasn't been ruled out yet. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
       
    • Throwing bullpen Saturday
      Manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that Brown (neck) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Brown was cleared to resume throwing last week, and Saturday will mark his first time working of a mound since landing on the injured list June 11 with a left neck strain. The 24-year-old righty remains without a firm return timeline, though he will likely require another bullpen session or two before moving onto facing live hitters. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

    • Juan Soto scratched Saturday with hand contusion
      Juan Soto was scratched from Saturday’s lineup due to a right hand contusion.

      Advice: Soto is dealing with a bruise on his right hand that he suffered on an awkward fourth-inning slide into home plate during Friday’s eventual 16-5 rout of the division-rival Blue Jays. The 25-year-old impending free agent, who blasted his 20th homer later in the contest following the incident, is headed for some precautionary imaging to rule out anything more serious. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. There should be an additional update on his status at some point on Saturday evening. Stay tuned. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago

    • Scratched from lineup
      Soto was scratched from the Yankees' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus Toronto due to a right hand contusion, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Soto suffered the injury while sliding into home plate during the fourth inning of Friday's contest. He is slated to undergo imaging on his hand to see whether he's dealing with a more serious injury, and the Yankees should offer an update on his condition once they get the results back. In the meantime, Oswaldo Cabrera will enter the lineup as New York's right fielder and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

    • Twins outright Jay Jackson to Triple-A
      Twins sent RHP Jay Jackson outright to Triple-A St. Paul.

      Advice: Jackson will stick around with Minnesota as extra organizational relief depth after going unclaimed on waivers following his removal last week from the club’s 40-man roster. The 36-year-old journeyman righty has posted a calamitous 7.52 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 29/22 K/BB ratio across 26 1/3 innings (20 appearances) this season in the big leagues.

    • Mets outright Joe Hudson to Triple-A
      Mets sent C Joe Hudson outright to Triple-A Syracuse.

      Advice: Hudson got into one game earlier this month for the Mets with Luis Torrens away from the club on paternity leave. The 33-year-old journeyman backstop has done a nice job the last few years serving as emergency organizational catching depth for several organizations. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

    • Set to return next week
      Soriano (abdomen) is expected to start one of the Angels' contests in Oakland during a three-game series that begins July 2, per MLB.com.

      Advice: Soriano landed on the injured list June 20 with an infection in his abdomen, and the team believes he will be ready to return after the minimum 15-day stay. Since the move to the injured list was retroactive to June 17, that means the right-hander can be activated as soon as July 2. Soriano has been throwing from 120 feet as well as playing long toss in preparation for a return. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

    • Ankle injury not considered serious
      Manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Edman (wrist) was able to field grounders again Friday without any problems in his sprained ankle, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Marmol added that Edman remains on track to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis sometime next week, barring any setbacks. The 29-year-old infielder has spent all season on the injured list, so an extended stint in the minors will likely be necessary, though it's still possible he'll be able to rejoin the big-league club before the All-Star break.

    • Liam Henriks (elbow) throws another bullpen session
      Liam Henriks (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Friday.

      Advice: There’s some growing optimism that Hendriks might be able to give the Red Sox something in the later stages of the year, especially if they remain in the playoff chase. The 35-year-old veteran stopper is coming off Tommy John surgery and there’s little incentive for Boston to rush him back too quickly and risk a setback. However, he’s making steady progress at the moment. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
