    Orioles recalled C Yohel Pozo from Double-A Chesapeake.

    Pozo was claimed off waivers from the Cardinals on Thursday. He hit .242/.242/.273 in 33 plate appearances with the Cardinals to begin the season and was hitting .229/.256/.386 with three homers in 86 plate appearances at Triple-A before being designated for assignment. He will back up Chadwick Tromp in a situation that all fantasy managers should avoid.

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Shane Bieber has been diagnosed with a mild-to-moderate teres major injury and will be shut down from throwing for “a couple weeks.”

    Schneider added that Bieber underwent an MRI that revealed the issue after experiencing discomfort while throwing a bullpen session recently. It seems highly unlikely he’ll make it back before the end of the regular season with just over four weeks remaining. It’s a tough break for the Blue Jays, and fantasy managers, since he was pitching much better in recent weeks. He’s not worth stashing in shallow mixed leagues at this advanced point of the year.

    Mariners activated SS J.P. Crawford from the 10-day injured list.

    Crawford makes it back to Seattle after missing nearly one month with left wrist inflammation. The 31-year-old impending free agent should serve as the club’s everyday shortstop with top prospect Colt Emerson undergoing season-ending wrist surgery.

    Mariners optioned INF Leo Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma.

    There’s no reason for Seattle to keep Rivas on the active roster with J.P. Crawford back from the injured list. The 28-year-old has hit .147 (17-for-116) with zero homers, nine RBI and two steals in 139 plate appearances this season.

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Elmer Rodríguez is a candidate to start against the Astros on Wednesday.

    Boone wouldn’t make it official, but all signs point to Rodríguez replacing an injured Ryan Weathers (forearm) in New York’s rotation, at least for one turn this week. The 23-year-old has struggled in a handful of opportunities at the highest level this season, but he remains one of the organization’s best starting pitching prospects. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats for now.

    Roman Anthony (finger) told reporters there’s a chance he returns for Friday’s series opener against the Yankees.

    Now that would be fun. Anthony is expected to wrap up a minor league rehab assignment with a couple games for Triple-A Worcester this week. The 22-year-old phenom possesses the talent to be a real difference-maker for the Red Sox over the final month of the season. Barring an unexpected development, it sounds like there’s a strong possibility Anthony is back later this week. He should be stashed in all fantasy leagues at this juncture.

    Aaron Judge (rib) is scheduled to take batting practice on Tuesday.

    Judge kicked off a hitting progression earlier this month as he works his way back from a rib fracture that put him on the shelf back in early June. It’s unclear exactly how much time he’ll need to get back up to speed before returning to New York’s lineup, but he doesn’t appear to be very far away at this point. It’s purely speculation, but it seems fair to assume he’ll make it back at some point in early-to-mid September.

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Max Fried (elbow) is “in play” to start during Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox.

    Fried completed a four-inning live batting practice session on Monday and appears to be on the precipice of returning from the injured list. The 32-year-old ace unexpectedly hit the injured list with a bone bruise and inflammation in his elbow earlier this month. It sounds like there’s a strong possibility he’s back in New York’s rotation this weekend.

    Rockies activated C Hunter Goodman from the 10-day injured list.

    Goodman returns to Colorado’s lineup following a minimum stint on the injured list with a left shoulder strain. The power-hitting 26-year-old catcher has been phenomenal this season, hitting .251 with a career-high 34 home runs, 69 RBI and five steals in 460 plate appearances.

    Rockies selected the contract of RHP Mason Adams from Triple-A Albuquerque.

    It’s an ultra-rare Adams-for-Adams (no relation) swap on Colorado’s active roster. The 26-year-old came over from the White Sox in the Brenton Doyle trade earlier this month. He’ll operate in low-leverage relief spots out of the Rockies’ bullpen.

    Rockies optioned RHP Blake Adams to Triple-A Albuquerque

    Adams earns a ticket back to the minors after being crushed for five runs during his lone inning of work in relief against the Nationals on Monday. There’s a chance he’s back to operate in a multi-inning role at some point in September.
