Nationals activated C Keibert Ruiz from the seven-day injured list.

Ruiz was injured June 23 when he was hit in the head by a foul ball sent into the dugout. He’ll go back to serving as the Nationals’ primary catcher, though he had lost some time to Riley Adams before getting hurt. Ruiz has hit just .247/.278/.320 in 259 plate appearances this season.

Cardinals recalled RHP Chris Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis.

The 28-year-old hurler has been hit hard in five appearances with the Cardinals this season, posting a 12.27 ERA, 3.55 WHIP and a 3/5 K/BB ratio across 3 2/3 innings. He’ll function in a middle relief role for skipper Oli Marmol.

Ramón Urías

STL 3rd Baseman #29

Cardinals transferred INF Ramón Urías on the 60-day injured list.

Urías has been shelved since May 5 already due to the elbow issue and after being pulled off of his minor league rehab assignment last week following a setback, it appears as though he’s going to be shelved a while longer. This move frees up a spot on the Cardinals’ 40-man roster.

Zack Short

DET Shortstop #38

Tigers designated INF Zack Short for assignment.

The 31-year-old glove-first shortstop slashed a woeful .167/.304/.222 with zero homers, two RBI and a 12/7 K/BB ratio in 46 plate appearances with the Tigers. It’s possible that he could land with another team that’s interested in a quality defender as infield depth.

Jacob Waguespack

DET Relief Pitcher #40

Tigers selected the contract of RHP Jacob Waguespack from Triple-A Toledo.

The 32-year-old hurler returns to the big leagues for the first time since the 2024 campaign. Waguespack, who was acquired from the Brewers on Wednesday, had posted a 1.66 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 33/15 K/BB ratio over 21 2/3 innings at Triple-A Nashville. Expect him to function in a middle relief role for the Tigers.

Beau Brieske

DET Relief Pitcher #4

Tigers optioned RHP Beau Brieske to Triple-A Toledo.

Brieske has been knocked around in his four appearances with the Tigers this season, posting a 12.46 ERA, 2.31 WHIP and a 4/4 K/BB ratio over 4 1/3 innings. He’ll look to get back on track at the Triple-A level. Jacob Waguespack was promoted from Triple-A in a corresponding move on Friday.

Brenan Hanifee

DET Relief Pitcher #75

Tigers optioned RHP Brenan Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo.

With Kenley Jansen returning from the injured list on Friday, someone needed to get the boot from the Tigers’ bullpen and Hanifee was the odd man out this time around. The 28-year-old hurler has done a decent job in his time with the Tigers this season, posting a 3.29 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 6/4 K/BB ratio over 13 2/3 innings.

Kenley Jansen

DET Relief Pitcher #74

Tigers activated RHP Kenley Jansen from the 15-day injured list.

The 38-year-old hurler has been shelved for the past couple of weeks due to a groin issue. He should step right back in as the Tigers’ primary closer with Will Vest shifting back to a setup role.

Jordan Lawlar

AZ Left Fielder #10

Diamondbacks activated OF Jordan Lawlar off the 60-day injured list.

Ryan Waldschmidt and Tommy Troy are both playing almost every day of late, but we’d guess Lawlar’s lineup plans involve going through Troy in left field. Lawlar had hit .333/.400/.556 in 20 plate appearances before fracturing his wrist in April. One of the better prospects in the sport over the past few years, fantasy managers would be wise to keep an eye on Lawlar. The fact that he qualifies at third base in most leagues doesn’t hurt either.

Aramis Garcia

AZ Catcher #66

Diamondbacks designated C Aramis Garcia for assignment.

The 33-year-old will likely return to Triple-A Reno if he clears waivers. Garcia served as an emergency depth piece while James McCann was out. The Diamondbacks appear to think they can get by with Adrian Del Castillo as their backup catcher in the short term.

Steward Berroa

PHI Right Fielder #39

Phillies placed OF Steward Berroa on the paternity list.

Congrats to Berroa on his new job. The Phillies will get by with a different bench outfielder for the time being.
