Red Sox face rotation puzzle as All-Star break approaches

With four games remaining before the All-Star break, Boston’s rotation is in flux: Patrick Sandoval makes his Red Sox debut today, Sonny Gray starts Friday, and Connelly Early is on the IL while Ranger Suarez left his last start with a groin issue and may be shut down for the break. If Suarez can’t go Saturday, the Sox could be short a starter and may dip into Payton Tolle on Sunday, potentially piggybacking bullpen arms or calling up Brayan Bello. The team also wants to protect Tolle’s innings as he’s already exceeded 80 in a season. A decision likely hinges on how deep Sandoval goes today, with the Mets looming next, and further injury timelines after the break.

Brewers Place Woodruff on 15-Day IL as Shoulder Woes Return

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.

USMNT Weighs Rotation in World Cup Dead Rubber vs Türkiye

With Group D already clinched, the USMNT faces Türkiye in a meaningless final and Sports Illustrated outlines three routes for coach Mauricio Pochettino: full rotation to give fringe players minutes, minor changes and a formation tweak to test systems while watching yellow-card risk, or sticking with the first-choice XI if Christian Pulisic is healthy to preserve momentum. The decisions hinge on balancing rest, avoiding suspensions, and keeping confidence and sharpness for the knockout rounds.

Phillies Eye Trade Market for Back-End Rotation Help

The Phillies have begun surveying the trade market for a back-end starter or swingman to bolster a rotation that’s been unstable after demoting rookie Andrew Painter; the top half of the rotation has been excellent, but Aaron Nola’s high ERA leaves the final spot wide open. With limited internal options and many teams selling around the deadline, Philadelphia is likely to monitor DFA moves and wait for clearer mid-rotation targets rather than rush a deal.

Phillies demote Andrew Painter to Triple-A amid rough stretch

The Philadelphia Phillies optioned rookie right-hander Andrew Painter to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after a rough two-inning start vs. Miami, adding an extra reliever for the active roster. Painter owns a 7.06 ERA this season and has allowed multiple runs in four straight starts, with high homer rate, prompting the move as Philadelphia reshapes its rotation behind Wheeler, Sánchez, Luzardo and Nola while the fifth spot remains unsettled.

Moon-Sized Impact May Have Forged Venus’s Slow Retrograde Spin

A new presentation argues Venus’s slow retrograde rotation could result from a high-angle, moon-sized impact in its first 50 million years, triggering a magma ocean and melting most of the mantle; depending on the impact specifics, this could evolve into the current rotation while leaving open questions about interior water and Venus’s lack of plate tectonics.

Cubs Shuffle Rotation as Taillon Lands on IL with Hamstring Strain

Jameson Taillon was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain (retroactive to June 8), prompting the Cubs to call up relievers Tyler Ferguson and Ethan Roberts, move Trent Thornton to the paternity list, activate Matt Shaw, and option Kevin Alcántara. Antoine Kelly was added to the 40-man roster and optioned to Triple-A after a cash trade with the Dodgers. With Taillon out beyond the All-Star break, Chicago will start Colin Rea, Shota Imanaga, and Edward Cabrera in the series at Coors Field while evaluating deeper rotation moves.

Orioles Call Up Gibson as Bassitt Hits IL, Deepening Rotation Woes

The Orioles placed right-hander Chris Bassitt on the 15-day injured list with low back discomfort (retroactive to June 5) and recalled Trey Gibson to start tonight. Bassitt has a 5.27 ERA across 12 appearances this season, with a notable drop in strikeouts from 2025. The injury adds to Baltimore’s rotation woes, joining other hurlers on the IL, and leaves the team to decide whether Gibson remains in the rotation or shifts to a bullpen/spot-start role while they search for depth.

San Diego has a season-high five-game skid after a sweep at the hands of Philadelphia, exposing roster gaps and an underperforming lineup even as injuries hit key starters; they remain in the wild-card race, and with A.J.

Mlodzinski Returns to Pirates Bullpen After Restricted List Stint

Pirates reinstate Carmen Mlodzinski from the restricted list and will use him out of the bullpen for the series opener in Houston, after moving him from the rotation when Jared Jones returned. GM Ben Cherington said Mlodzinski wasn’t ready to pitch this weekend and hadn’t requested a trade. He’s under Pirates control through 2029, and Pittsburgh plans to keep the rotation fresh with a potential return to starting duties if needed. Mlodzinski owns a 3.76 ERA over 55 innings this season.

Pirates Move Mlodzinski to Restricted List as Rotation Gets Shuffle

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski on the restricted list, promoted Cam Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis to take his roster spot, and opened a spot on the 40-man roster. The move follows Mlodzinski being pulled from the rotation after Jared Jones's return, with the team shifting him to a relief role for now while keeping him under team control through 2029 and hoping he can return to starting duties later as part of a playoff-push rotation strategy.

Pirates Tap Jared Jones to Start Friday as Rotation Grows

Pirates manager Don Kelly said right-hander Jared Jones will start Friday, moving Paul Skenes into the rotation and sending Carmen Mlodzinski to the bullpen. Jones, on the 60-day IL after an elbow internal-brace surgery on May 21, will make his first big-league start since 2024 following five rehab starts this year. He joins Skenes, Ashcraft, Keller and Chandler to form Pittsburgh’s rotation core as the team pursues a playoff spot in a tight NL Central race, with Mlodzinski providing bullpen/long-relief in the interim.
