Bednar picks up 17th save in win over Twins

Joyce is working his way back from last year’s shoulder surgery and a setback that stalled his rehabilitation process in mid-May. The flame-throwing 25-year-old high-leverage reliever should be ready to return to Los Angeles’ bullpen at some point in the second half.

Goodman said he jammed his wrist during Monday’s game on a play at the plate. He’ll undergo further evaluation and possibly imaging to determine the severity of the issue. The 26-year-old All-Star backstop was in Colorado’s initial lineup at DH but has since been replaced by Mickey Moniak. He’s had a phenomenal first half, launching 27 home runs in 85 games. There should be some additional clarity on his status at some point this week.

Jobe hit triple digits with a pair of fastballs, according to MLB.com’s Jason Beck. The 23-year-old former top prospect threw 24 of 32 pitches for strikes in his first rehab outing since last year’s Tommy John surgery. He’ll need a handful of additional starts to continue building up his pitch count and stamina before he’s an option for Detroit’s pitching staff. He figures to be ready to contribute at some point during the second half.

It’s a reassuring update after Ohtani dealt with a right biceps issue last week. The 32-year-old two-way superstar struck out nine and allowed three runs over six innings against the Padres last Friday before exiting that contest with biceps tightness. Roberts added that he doesn’t anticipate Ohtani participating in the All-Star Home Run Derby or pitching in next week’s Midsummer Classic, but could see him getting an at-bat or two in the contest.

Edman is back in left field and batting fifth after coming off the bench in each of their previous two games due to a relatively minor ankle issue. The 31-year-old got some extra rest after being hit by a pitch from Padres stopper Mason Miller near his surgically repaired right ankle over the weekend.

It’s the first substantive update regarding Pivetta’s progress since he landed on the shelf with a right elbow flexor strain back in mid-April. The 33-year-old strikeout artist will continue ramping up his throwing progression in the coming weeks and should be ready for a couple minor league rehab starts in August. It sounds like there’s a decent chance he makes it back to San Diego at some point in the second half.

Musgrove has made painstakingly-slow progress back Tommy John surgery that he underwent back in late 2024. It was his first time throwing off a bullpen mound since suffering a setback at the conclusion of spring training. The 33-year-old veteran has an outside shot at making it back to San Diego during the second half, but he’s going to be racing the clock to do so.

Tellez returns to the fold after spending a couple days on the open market. The 31-year-old first baseman went 2-for-10 with one homer during a seven-game stint with Atlanta earlier this month. He’ll continue serving as emergency depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Topa latches on with the division-rival Royals after struggling to an inflated 8.05 ERA across 19 innings for the Twins earlier this season. The well-traveled 35-year-old will function as organizational relief depth at Triple-A Omaha.

Wilson has the option to elect free agency, but his clearest path to big-league innings might still be with the injury-depleted Cubs. The 28-year-old was designated for assignment over the weekend after allowing seven runs over 7 2/3 innings for Chicago across two relief appearances.
