The Red Sox placed left-hander Ranger Suárez on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to July 6) with a groin strain, promoting Brett Harris from Triple-A Worcester to take his spot; Suárez will miss at least two starts as Boston reshuffles its rotation (Gray, Tolle, Bennett, Sandoval) while navigating the trade deadline situation.
Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list after Saturday’s start was cut short by a shoulder issue, with tests to determine the extent; the diagnosis points to the same labrum/cyst problem he’s dealt with before, including 2023 surgery and a May drainage procedure. Milwaukee, leading the NL Central, faces ongoing rotation uncertainty and is likely to seek rotation help before the trade deadline while Woodruff’s health remains a question for a potential playoff run.
The New York Yankees placed left-hander Carlos Rodón on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation (retroactive to June 30), optioned Oswaldo Cabrera to Triple-A, and must shuffle a rotation already dealing with injuries as they head into the All-Star break. Rodón had a 3.30 ERA in nine starts this year after recovering from prior elbow issues, but will be sidelined again, leaving Gerrit Cole, Ryan Weathers, Cam Schlittler and Will Warren to anchor a less-experienced group as the team fights the slump.
The Cincinnati Reds recalled TJ Friedl from Triple-A to replace the injured Blake Dunn, who was placed on the injured list with elbow discomfort. Friedl had struggled this season but has surged in Triple-A, posting a .271/.370/.471 line with a 122 wRC+ in 81 plate appearances, suggesting he’s back to being an everyday option in center field. Dunn will undergo elbow evaluations in Cincinnati and is expected to remain a defensive backup upon his return; Matt McLain could also handle occasional center-field duties if needed. Friedl’s move restores the Reds’ center-field alignment for now.
Texas Rangers place Wyatt Langford on the injured list with a left hamstring strain and recall Evan Carter from the IL; Carter, who had been out since June 12, went 2-for-2 with a homer and a walk in his lone rehab game for Frisco, while Langford had been red-hot since returning from a forearm injury, slashing .278/.324/.500 in 173 plate appearances; no timetable for Langford’s return is provided.
Detroit activated pitcher Jack Flaherty from the injured list and optioned Enmanuel De Jesus to Triple-A to make room on the roster; Flaherty, who returned from a left peroneal strain, threw five scoreless innings with nine strikeouts, but his season has been pricier (5.35 ERA over 15 starts) as Detroit looks to stabilize its rotation.
The Cleveland Guardians activated outfielder Chase DeLauter from the injured list after a rib fracture, with DeLauter batting third as the designated hitter as Petey Halpin was optioned to Triple-A. DeLauter, a top prospect, has hit .263/.337/.408 with 7 homers in 270 plate appearances this season, and his return could help an offense currently around 90 wRC+ and 43-40 overall as the team pursues a playoff berth (FanGraphs ~56% postseason odds).
The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Wyatt Langford on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain and activated outfielder Evan Carter to take his roster spot.
Oakland placed Zack Gelof on the 10-day injured list with a right hand contusion retroactive to June 24, recalling Alika Williams. Gelof had been a bright spot this season (11 homers, .282/.336/.498, 128 wRC+ in 62 games) and was riding a 24-game hit streak before the injury, which will sideline him for at least a week as the A’s try to stay in the playoff mix. The club will shuffle the lineup in Gelof’s absence and rely on other veterans and versatility in the field.
Jac Caglianone homered twice in a hometown-tinged performance for the Royals, with Nick Loftin providing support; Maikel Garcia was placed on the injured list, and the piece also highlights trade chatter around reliever John Schreiber as the Royals navigate roster moves.
The Kansas City Royals placed third baseman Maikel Garcia on the 10-day injured list with a left-hand muscle strain, recalling veteran infielder Josh Rojas from Triple-A to fill the vacancy. Garcia had been productive early this season but has slumped since mid-May, and with the Royals short on offense, rookie Nick Loftin and Rojas are expected to handle most third-base duties while Garcia heals and tries to regain form.
Miami placed Liam Hicks on the 10-day injured list with a lower back strain (retroactive to June 20) and recalled Brian Navarreto to back up Joe Mack, while Josh Ekness was moved from the 15-day to the 60-day IL to clear 40-man space. Hicks has been one of Miami’s bright spots in 2026, batting .278/.359/.472 with 13 homers in 288 PA, and Navarreto will provide depth as Hicks rests; Ekness is not expected back until at least August.
Texas Rangers placed right-hander Jack Leiter on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 19) with a right ankle posterior impingement and recalled Jose Corniell. Leiter has battled ankle soreness all season, worsened by a slip on April 22, and carries a 5.29 ERA over 80 innings as Texas pivots to an opener/bulk-innings approach while he recovers.
Arizona Diamondbacks pitchers Michael Soroka and outfielder Jordan Lawlar were placed on the injured list after Friday’s win over the Twins, with Soroka diagnosed with a strained left glute and Lawlar with a strained right hamstring; both will undergo MRIs to determine the extent of the damage. Left-hander Philip Abner and utilityman Tim Tawa were recalled from Triple-A. Soroka exited after one inning; Lawlar left in the eighth while sprinting to first on a bunt. The injuries add to Arizona’s rotation and depth concerns, as Ryne Nelson is already on the IL and the club eyes replacements such as Mitch Bratt or Jose Cabrera.
The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder Everson Pereira on a 7-day injured list with concussion symptoms after crashing into the center-field wall, and recalled outfielder Junior Perez from Triple-A Charlotte to make his MLB debut. Pereira had just returned from a pectoral strain and is batting .232/.299/.420 this season.
