Rockies placed INF/OF Willi Castro on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis.

Castro had missed each of the team’s previous three games due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. With nothing left to play for this season, the Rockies will sit him down and make sure that he gets right. Vimael Machin was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque to take his place on the Rockies’ active roster.

Athletics recalled RHP Seth Johnson from Triple-A Las Vegas.

The 27-year-old hurler has made 21 appearances at the MLB level between the Phillies and A’s this season, compiling an uninspiring 7.29 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a 26/17 K/BB ratio over 21 innings. He’ll give A’s skipper Mark Kotsay another option to use in the middle innings.

Athletics optioned RHP Kade Morris to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Morris struggled in a no-decision against the Mariners on Friday, giving up five runs in just 2 1/3 innings of work. Since he wasn’t going to be available again for at least a few days, the A’s shipped him out to add a fresh arm to their bullpen in Seth Johnson.

The Blue Jays plan to get a second opinion on right-hander Jameson Taillon’s (elbow) MRI results.

While they haven’t confirmed anything yet, it certainly sounds like Taillon is going to miss the remainder of the 2026 season due to inflammation in his pitching elbow. Expect confirmation to come before the weekend is through.

Joe Ryan (glute) threw a bullpen session on Saturday without any issues.

The expectation now is that the 30-year-old hurler will be cleared to rejoin the Twins’ rotation this week. Ryan threw just 42 pitches in a minor league rehab game at Triple-A St. Paul this week, so he may have a pitch count limitation in his first start back, but it sure sounds like his next start will be with the Twins.

Shohei Othani (knee, biceps) remains out of the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Nationals.

It’s the third straight game that Ohtani has missed due to lingering knee and biceps issues. The Dodgers are reportedly still weighing whether or not the 32-year-old superstar will require a trip to the injured list. Dalton Rushing will function as the team’s designated hitter on Saturday and will bat seventh against Nationals’ right-hander Cade Cavalli.
