Veteran reliever elects free agency after release from Twins

Blue Jays right-hander dealing with soreness in right elbow

Former MLB journeyman dies at 61 years old
Former big league player and coach Mike Brumley died Saturday in a car accident, as initially reported by MLB.com’s Mark Bowman. Brumley was 61 years old. A second-round pick for the Red Sox in the 1983 draft, Brumley played in 295 big league games over parts of eight seasons from 1987-95. The early years of his pro career were defined by his inclusion in a pair of trades involving future Hall of Famers – the Red Sox traded Brumley and Dennis Eckersley to the Cubs for Bill Buckner in May 1984, which led to Brumley making his MLB debut in a Chicago uniform in 1987. The Cubbies then dealt Brumley and Keith Moreland to the Padres in February 1988 in the swap that brought Goose Gossage and Ray Hayward to Chicago.
Yankees shelve top prospect once more due to injury concern
The Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders placed Jasson Dominguez on the seven-day injured list Sunday, after the outfield prospect made an early exit from Saturday’s game.

The Phillies are planning to activate shortstop Trea Turner from the 10-day injured list before Monday’s game against the Padres, manager Rob Thomson told reporters (including Matt Gelb of The Athletic) earlier Sunday.

Rangers designate right-hander for assignment
The Rangers announced Sunday that they’ve designated right-hander Jesus Tinoco for assignment. Right-hander Cole Winn was recalled to take Tinoco’s spot on the active roster. This has been Tinoco’s second stint with Texas, as he had previously pitched to a strong 2.18 ERA with a 4.22 FIP in...

The Giants announced Sunday that they’ve placed left-hander Kyle Harrison on the injured list due to a right ankle sprain.

Red Sox receive positive news on injured 1B
The Red Sox got some good news regarding the status of first baseman Triston Casas on Saturday. As he told Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe, Casas has begun taking dry swings as he works his way back from torn cartilage in his midsection. Casas indicated that if he continues feeling good after a few days of dry swings, he’ll begin making contact with a ball.
Astros scratch Justin Verlander as nightmare season continues
The Astros scratched veteran ace Justin Verlander from his start against the Tigers earlier Saturday due to discomfort in his neck. Right-hander Spencer Arrighetti stepped in to make a spot start in Verlander’s stead, but was shelled for seven runs in just 1 1/3 innings of work before he was removed in the second inning.
Dodgers face injury attrition as ace leaves with triceps tightness
Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto exited his start against the Royals Saturday night after just two innings with what the club referred to as triceps tightness. He was replaced by right-hander Michael Grove to start the third inning. As noted by MLB.com’s Juan Toribio, Yamamoto’s velocity was down throughout his abbreviated outing. The righty’s fastball bottomed out at just 92.9 mph, nearly three ticks below his 95.7 mph average to this point in the season.
Rockies 1B, former NL MVP diagnosed with internal oblique strain
The Rockies received some unfortunate news regarding Kris Bryant today, as Bryant himself told reporters (including MLB.com’s Thomas Harding). Bryant was initially placed on the injured list earlier this month with a left rib contusion in what he had expected to be a fairly short stint on the shelf. Since, then, however, Bryant underwent an MRI after his soreness showed no improvement, and that testing revealed that the veteran was also dealing with an internal oblique strain. Bryant added that he has “no idea” when he’ll be able to return to action following the new diagnosis.
Baseball's top prospect shut down with shoulder injury
The Orioles placed Jackson Holliday on the minor league injured list Friday. Despite the lack of impact on the club’s active roster, the move nonetheless raised eyebrows thanks to Holliday’s status as the consensus No. 1 overall prospect in the sport. Fortunately, club GM Mike Elias told reporters (including MASN’s Melanie Newman) that Holliday is dealing with a “barking” shoulder but that the issue isn’t serious and that he’s expected to need only a “few weeks” of rest before he returns to action.
Astros want this first baseman to 'grab the bull by the horn' moving forward

Marlins Select Kent Emanuel
The Marlins announced earlier this afternoon that they’ve selected the contract of left-hander Kent Emanuel. Right-hander Shaun Anderson was optioned in a corresponding move.

Orioles Outright Corbin Martin To Triple-A
The Orioles have outrighted Corbin Martin off the 40-man roster and assigned the right-hander to Triple-A Norfolk. It wasn’t known that Martin had been designated for assignment, but he’ll now head to Triple-A since he doesn’t have the requirements (i.e. service time or a past outright) to reject an outright assignment in favor of free agency.
