Player Notes

  • Reid Detmers strikes out 11 in Triple-A start
    Reid Detmers allowed three runs on four hits in six innings while striking out 11 for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

    Advice: Detmers now has 21 strikeouts in his last two games, which is the good news. The bad news is that he has allowed eight runs in 12 innings over those two starts. The swing-and-miss is nice to see, but Detmers will undoubtedly need to do more to incentivize the Angels to call him back up. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:39 am
  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    The Giants outrighted Burgos to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Burgos made just one appearance for San Francisco before losing his place on its 40-man roster. He will stick around in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:37 am
  • Reinstated from paternity leave
    The Orioles activated Burnes (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

    Advice: Burnes was away from the club for the final three games of its weekend series against the Rangers while tending to more important family matters. He's tentatively slated to make his next start Wednesday in Seattle, though that hasn't yet been confirmed. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:41 am
  • Sent back to Norfolk
    The Orioles optioned Krook to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    Advice: He'll head back to Triple-A to reopen a spot on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Corbin Burnes (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list. During his three-day stay with the Orioles, Krook made his lone relief appearance in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Rangers, giving up three runs (two earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out two over one inning.

  • Tommy John surgery completed
    Perales (elbow) underwent a full UCL reconstruction surgery last week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: As anticipated, Perales required a traditional Tommy John surgery to repair the damage ligament in his right elbow rather than an internal brace procedure. As a result, Perales is unlikely to be ready to pitch late in the 2025 season, whereas an internal brace procedure would have resulted in a shorter timeline that could have put him in line to pitch at some point after the All-Star break in 2025. The 21-year-old -- who is regarded as one of the Red Sox's top pitching prospects -- should be back to full health in advance of spring training in 2026. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:27 am
  • Serving as opener
    Zastryzny will serve as the Brewers' opening pitcher in Monday's game in Colorado.

    Advice: Zastryzny will be making his first appearance with the Brewers, as he was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday but went unused out of the bullpen in Milwaukee's final two games of the weekend against the Cubs. Bryse Wilson is slated to work as a bulk reliever once Zastryzny exits the contest, likely after pitching an inning or two. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:21 am
  • Bullpen session set
    Speier (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The left-hander was able to throw off a mound Saturday without issue, and he'll continue advancing in his recovery with Tuesday's session. Speier may need to throw only a couple of bullpen sessions before he's deemed ready for a rehab assignment, although further clarity should be gleaned following Tuesday's activity.

  • Gets green light to start Friday
    Vasquez (forearm) has been cleared to make his next start Friday versus the Diamondbacks in San Diego, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: In his most recent start in Friday's 9-2 win over the Mets, Vasquez took a no-decision after he was lifted after 59 pitches and four innings when he was struck in the right forearm by a comebacker. Follow-up X-rays cleared Vasquez of any structural damage to his forearm, and he's been cleared to make his next start after he played catch Sunday without incident. Since returning from Triple-A El Paso on June 1 and rejoining the big-league rotation, Vasquez has gone 2-1 with a 4.20 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB in 30 innings spanning six starts.

  • Throws off mound
    Garcia (elbow) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: The reliever will throw another bullpen session Wednesday before the next steps in his rehab program are determined. Garcia has missed just two weeks with a nerve issue in his right elbow, so it's possible he'll skip a rehab assignment and return from the 15-day injured list whenever the Blue Jays feel that he's ready. With Jordan Romano (elbow) out indefinitely, Garcia should be back in the mix for saves once he returns, perhaps even as the club's top option. Chad Green has been serving as Toronto's closer since Garcia landed on the IL but hasn't received any save chances during that stretch. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:37 am
