Padres transferred OF Ramón Laureano to the 60-day injured list.

Laureano landed on the injured list earlier in the week with right hip inflammation and now it looks like he’s going to miss considerable time. The Padres announced that he’s expected to miss 4-5 months after undergoing surgery to repair his labrum. This is very likely to end his 2026 season.

SD Relief Pitcher #66

Padres recalled RHP David Morgan from Triple-A El Paso.

With Jeremiah Estrada (knee) landing on the injured list, Morgan will have another opportunity to show what he can do out of the Padres’ bullpen. He holds a 6.08 ERA, 2.10 WIHP and a 15/11 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings with the big league club this season.

Jeremiah Estrada

SD Relief Pitcher #56

Padres placed RHP Jeremiah Estrada on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 3, with right knee inflammation.

Estrada missed time at the end of April due to an elbow issue and will now head back to the injured list due to inflammation in his knee. The Padres are hopeful that he’ll be able to return after just a couple of weeks. David Morgan was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to take his place in the Padres’ bullpen.

Samy Natera

LAA Relief Pitcher

Angels selected the contract of LHP Samy Natera Jr. from Triple-A Salt Lake.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 26-year-old southpaw. Natera registered a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 44/18 K/BB ratio over 30 innings in 20 appearances at Triple-A Salt Lake. He’ll serve in a middle relief role for the Angels.

Shaun Anderson

LAA Relief Pitcher #64

Angels designated RHP Shaun Anderson for assignment.

The 31-year-old hurler joined the roster once again on Wednesday and now gets the boot without appearing in a game. He holds a 5.94 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12/8 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings of work with the Angels this season. He’ll probably pass through waivers unclaimed again and continue to serve as extra bullpen depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13
Max Muncy (nose) is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Angels.

That was the expectation all along after Muncy exited Thursday’s game following a violent collision with Ildemaro Vargas at first base. Fortunately, he avoided any serious injuries. The 35-year-old slugger is expected to return to the Dodgers’ lineup on Saturday. Santiago Espinal will start in his place at third base and bat ninth against Angels’ left-hander Reid Detmers on Friday evening.

LAA Shortstop #9

Zach Neto (neck) returned to the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Dodgers.

Neto missed each of the team’s previous three games due to symptoms of whiplash following a collision at home plate on Saturday. He’s starting at shortstop and hitting atop the Halos’ lineup against Dodgers’ right-hander Roki Sasaki.

Nick Castellanos

FA Right Fielder #21

Padres released OF Nick Castellanos.

Castellanos was designated for assignment earlier in the week and went unclaimed. He’s now free once more to explore the open market. The 34-year-old slashed just .191/.221/.339 with four homers and 20 RBI in 122 plate appearances with the Padres and seems to have lost the ability to mash left-handed pitching, which used to be his calling card. He can be had for the league minimum if any teams are interested.

Rhylan Thomas

FA Left Fielder

Astros released OF Rhylan Thomas.

The 26-year-old outfielder had been designated for assignment on Thursday and passed through waivers unclaimed. He’s now free to peddle his wares on the open market. Thomas has hit .253/.304/.307 with two homers and 12 RBI in 185 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season.
