Orioles place Helsley on IL; Suárez promoted to handle closing duties

The Baltimore Orioles placed closer Ryan Helsley on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation (retroactive to April 29), and recalled Albert Suárez to take his roster spot and close duties. Helsley last pitched Tuesday, earning a save against the Astros, but the elbow issue adds bullpen uncertainty for a bullpen already dealing with injuries from Enns and Hiraldo, and after Bautista’s shoulder surgery last year. Suárez had just signed a new minor-league deal and was added to the big league roster to fill the closing role contingent on Helsley’s health.

Padres Put Pivetta on IL, Shuffle Rotation Ahead of Waldron Return

Padres place Nick Pivetta on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation (retroactive to April 13) after he left Sunday's game with elbow stiffness; Alek Jacob is recalled to fill the spot. Pivetta joins Musgrove and Canning on the IL while Matt Waldron nears a return. Michael King will start tonight, with Randy Vásquez and Walker Buehler slated for the next couple of days as the rotation is shuffled. Pivetta has 24 strikeouts in 16 innings this season and a 4.50 ERA, and his health/contract optics remain significant for San Diego.

Berríos to See Specialist After Elbow Inflammation, Jays Face Rotation Crunch

Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos is visiting a specialist for elbow inflammation detected in a World Baseball Classic physical. An MRI showed no structural damage, but he’ll consult Dr. Keith Meister next Tuesday and won’t throw in the interim. There’s no pain reported, and a quick return is possible, but the situation adds to Toronto’s rotation questions behind Cease, Gausman, Yesavage, Ponce, Scherzer, Lauer, and Bieber’s pending status. If Berríos needs an IL stint to start the season, the Jays’ starting mix could shift further, though they’ll benefit from depth if everyone is healthy.

Elbow Inflammation Delays Tigers' Melton Ahead of Opening Day

Detroit right-hander Troy Melton has halted his throwing program with elbow inflammation, putting Opening Day in doubt. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said the issue isn’t believed to be long-term and Melton could return soon after a brief IL stint; the young pitcher impressed as a rookie with a 2.76 ERA in 45 2/3 innings and remains in the club’s plans, though the Tigers will be cautious and possibly keep him stretched out in the minors if needed.

Red Sox Make Roster Moves, Whitlock on IL and Paxton on Paternity List

The Boston Red Sox have placed right-hander Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. Whitlock left Sunday's game early due to elbow tightness, and while the team is not overly concerned, his absence adds to the rotation's current shortage. With Chris Sale and Tanner Houck already on the injured list, the Red Sox have been relying on a four-man rotation and bullpen days. Left-hander James Paxton was also placed on the paternity list, further depleting the pitching staff. Whitlock's ongoing injury setbacks hinder his progress as a starting pitcher, as he had previously transitioned from a successful rookie season as a reliever.
