CLE Relief Pitcher #50

Guardians optioned RHP Codi Heuer to Triple-A Columbus.

A corresponding move will reportedly be made on Friday. Heuer allowed five earned runs in eight innings with the Guardians while striking out six and walking five. The 29-year-old will likely ride the Columbus-Cleveland shuttle again when the team needs a fresh arm.

Quinn Priester

MIL Starting Pitcher #46

Quinn Priester (thoracic outlet syndrome) returned from his rehab assignment to the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League and remains on the injured list.

Not great news. The Brewers and Priester will likely consider all options going forward, but it appears unlikely he’s going to contribute this year if he’s got to halt his comeback momentum again. Further updates to come when the Brewers have them, but this has all the makings of a lost year for Priester.

Angel Chivilli

NYY Relief Pitcher #57

Yankees activated RHP Angel Chivilli from the 15-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Chivilli hadn’t allowed a run in Triple-A before being recalled to the big leagues and getting hurt. The 23-year-old figures to get another look with the Yankees before too long. He managed a 3.86 ERA in two games (2 1/3 innings pitched) before getting hurt.

Esmerlyn Valdez

PIT Right Fielder #55

Pirates recalled OF Esmerlyn Valdez from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Valdez did get consistent playing time with the Pirates during his recall in May, hitting two homers in five games. That’s about all he did — they were his only two hits. He’ll probably be hard to trust even with consistent playing time, but the power is worth dreaming on in deeper leagues. Shallow league managers should likely just wait and see.

Davis Wendzel

PIT 3rd Baseman #38

Pirates optioned INF Davis Wendzel to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Brandon Lowe turned out well enough to keep playing after his leg injury, so Wendzel had just four plate appearances in two games with the Pirates this time around. He returns to Triple-A Indianapolis as a depth piece for the Pirates.

Luis Curvelo

TEX Starting Pitcher #57

Rangers recalled RHP Luis Curvelo from Triple-A Round Rock.

He’ll replace Jalen Beeks in the bullpen for the time being. Curvelo has a 4.91 ERA in 7 1/3 innings over seven appearances with the Rangers this season. He’ll likely be riding the Round Rock-Arlington shuttle often this year.

Jalen Beeks

TEX Relief Pitcher #68

Rangers placed LHP Jalen Beeks on the 10-day injured list with back spasms.

Beeks won’t necessarily have to rehab if he keeps this stint short, the 32-year-old left-hander has a 3.81 ERA in 26 innings out of the Rangers bullpen this year, striking out 21 and walking eight while allowing six home runs.

Kyle Isbel

KC Center Fielder #28

Royals announced OF Kyle Isbel has a Grade 3 tear of a portion of his left plantar fasciitis.

Not good. Isbel was already placed on the 10-day injured list, but it sounds likely he will miss more than just the minimum amount of time. Kameron Misner and Lane Thomas could form a platoon in center field in Isbel’s absence.

Seth Lugo

KC Starting Pitcher #67

Seth Lugo (head) has some swelling in his forehead and said it’s “too early to say” when he’ll get back on the mound.

Fantasy managers should anticipate the possibility that Lugo misses a start or is pushed back a few days after he left yesterday’s game, where he was hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of Brandon Nimmo. He also mentioned that his left elbow is sore from falling. All and all, this is a positive update considering how scary the injury looked in the moment.

Jake McCarthy

COL Center Fielder #31
Jake McCarthy (illness) remains out of Colorado’s lineup on Thursday.

It’s cost him two days now. Sterlin Thompson is starting in left field against RHP Edward Cabrera and the Cubs in McCarthy’s place today.
