Royals DFA Strahm and Velazquez in bullpen reshuffle

Kansas City designated left-hander Matt Strahm and infielder Andrew Velazquez for assignment after Bobby Witt Jr. was reinstated from the injured list and José Cuas was recalled; Strahm, who signed for $7.5 million in the Bowlan trade, has a 7.32 ERA with an 18.6% strikeout rate and an 8.7% walk rate this season, and his declining velocity has left him vulnerable, making a claim unlikely and sending him toward free agency. Velazquez had a brief MLB stint and is expected to clear waivers or accept a Triple-A assignment as Kansas City moves on with its bullpen for the rest of the season.

Royals Place Witt Jr. on IL, Velazquez Steps In at Shortstop

Royals place star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. on the 10-day injured list with lower back tightness and promote infielder Andrew Velazquez from Triple-A Omaha to take his roster spot, while pitcher Stephen Kolek moves from a 15-day to 60-day IL with a flexor strain, likely ending his season. Kansas City, at 42-60, will lean on a shortstop committee (Tolbert, Loftin, Rojas, Velazquez) as Witt’s absence threatens his MVP-case credibility, despite a strong .279/.350/.450 line with 13 homers and 30 steals this season. Kolek’s injury further thins a Royals rotation, and Velazquez provides defense-first depth while the club contends with the approaching trade deadline.

"Angels' Brandon Drury Lands on 10-Day Injured List"

The Los Angeles Angels have placed infielder Brandon Drury on the 10-day injured list due to a left shoulder contusion, with the move being retroactive to June 30. Drury expects to be activated after the All-Star break. The Angels have called up Andrew Velazquez to replace Drury on the roster and have also released Jake Lamb. This adds to the list of injuries for Angels infielders, including Gio Urshela and Zach Neto, though Neto's return might coincide with the end of the All-Star break. Despite the injury, Drury has been performing well this season, hitting .277 with 14 home runs.

LA Angels Cut Velazquez, Adell, Moniak in Spring Roster Cuts

The Los Angeles Angels have optioned infielder Andrew Velazquez and outfielders Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak to Triple-A Salt Lake. Velazquez was the team's primary shortstop last year but struggled at the plate, while Adell and Moniak are former top prospects who have yet to find success in the majors. The moves provide the Angels with infield depth and give Adell and Moniak a chance to develop further in the minors.
