Luis Perdomo

MIN Relief Pitcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Twins signed RHP Luis Perdomo to a minor league contract.

Perdomo registered a rough 5.40 ERA and 51/46 K/BB ratio in 65 relief appearances this year for the Padres’ Triple-A affiliate in Tucson, Arizona. It’s doubtful he’ll find better luck in Minnesota’s system.

William Kempner

MIA Relief Pitcher #71

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Marlins optioned RHP Will Kempner to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Kempner has been excellent since being recalled from Triple-A at the end of May and hasn’t allowed an earned run. He will assuredly be back before the summer ends, but Miami needs a multi-inning option, so Dax Fulton takes Kempner’s place on the roster.

Fulton will provide a multi-inning arm option for the Miami pitching staff in his second stint with the club. Will Kempner was sent to Triple-A to make room.

Max Kepler

AZ Right Fielder #17

Max Kepler (suspension) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Kepler was suspended for 80 games in January, but now can begin play in Triple-A. The Diamondbacks have played 73 games thus far, so Kepler could be an option against right-handed pitching at some point next week.

Brewer Hicklen

ATL Left Fielder #50

Braves selected the contract of OF Brewer Hicklen from Triple-A Gwinnett and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Hicklen could have opted out of his deal with Atlanta, but the 30-year-old is now on the 40-man roster. He’s having an impressive season in the International League, as he’s hit 316/.381/.519 in Gwinnett with 11 homers and 21 stolen bases. He could be a bench option for the Braves by the end of 2026.

Seth Brown

FA 1st Baseman #15

Yankees released INF/OF Seth Brown.

Brown was signed to a minor league contract in January. The 33-year-old slashed 235/.327/.426 in his time with Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre. He’s likely looking at another minor league deal with whatever club gives him a chance.

Mitch Spence

KC Relief Pitcher #54

Royals optioned RHP Mitch Spence to Triple-A Omaha.

Spence is sent down to make room for Connor Seabold after the Royals acquired Seabold via trade. Spence will likely be back in some sort of role with Kansas City before the summer concludes.

Trent Grisham

NYY Center Fielder #12

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Trent Grisham is expected to miss multiple weeks with his right hamstring strain.

Grisham was placed on the injured list June 13 with his strain, and it won’t be a minimum stint on the injured list. Jasson Dominguez is expected to get the bulk of the playing time in Grisham’s absence, although Dominguez may not be available Tuesday after having a tooth pulled. If all goes well, Grisham should be back around the start of July.

Jasson Domínguez

NYY Left Fielder #24
Aaron Boone told the Talkin’ Yanks podcast that the team is unsure of Jasson Dominguez’s availability after he had a tooth pulled Tuesday.

The Yankees will have to wait and see how Dominguez is feeling to see if he can play Tuesday against the White Sox. If the 23-year-old can’t go, Jose Caballero could see the start in his absence. Either way, this shouldn’t be a long-term absence for Dominguez.

Ricky Tiedemann

TOR Starting Pitcher #33

Blue Jays LHP prospect Ricky Tiedemann (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Tuesday.

Tiedemann is still the 4th-ranked prospect in the Blue Jays’ system, but injuries have limited him to just 61 innings since the end of the 2022 season. He missed all of the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery and then felt renewed elbow soreness during spring training. The Blue Jays are likely not expecting much from the 23-year-old this season, but it would be nice to see him get some healthy starts at the minor league level.

DJ Herz

WSH Starting Pitcher #77

DJ Herz (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment with Single-A Fredericksburg on Tuesday.

Herz is still recovering from Tommy John surgery from last April. He started his rehab assignment in the FCL earlier this month and could move to Double-A or Triple-A after this start. The 25-year-old had a 4.16 ERA in 88 2/3 innings in 2024 and could make a handful of starts for the Nationals to end the season if all goes well.
