Valente Bellozo

COL Starting Pitcher #56

Rockies sent RHP Valente Bellozo outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Bellozo had a 7.59 ERA in three appearances for the Rockies back in April and had been pitching in Triple-A since. This takes him off the 40-man roster, but he’s going to remain with Albuquerque and hope for another chance.

José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11
José Ramírez left Saturday’s game after five innings with an apparent injury.

It looked like it might be a hand/wrist issue. Ramírez being the third Guardians player leaving due to injury forced the Guardians to put Rhys Hoskins in left for his first outfield appearance since 2018. Kyle Manzardo replaced Hoskins at first base.

Cole Ragans

KC Starting Pitcher #55

Cole Ragans is set to undergo more tests after another setback with his elbow.

“Cole woke up yesterday, not feeling as well arm-wise,” manager Matt Quatraro said. “So, when he came out to play catch yesterday, he had to cut it short. So, we’re going to get him some more testing in the next couple of days.” Ragans hasn’t pitched since May 6 and had a 4.84 ERA in eight starts before landing on the injured list for what was originally expected to be a minimal stay.

Angel Martínez

CLE Left Fielder #1

X-rays were negative on Angel Martínez’s left foot, making him day-to-day with a contusion.

Martínez departed Saturday’s game against the tigers an inning after fouling a ball off the foot and was replaced by Steven Kwan, who had been out of the lineup against Tarik Skubal.

Chase DeLauter

CLE Right Fielder #24

Chase DeLauter left Saturday’s game with a bruised right ribcage.

DeLauter sustained the injury crashing into the wall in the top of the first and then left for a pinch-runner after singling in the bottom of the inning. It’s just the second injury of note for DeLauter this season; he missed one game in the second week of the season after fouling a ball off his foot. DeLauter’s 71 games this season are already a career high as a pro; in the minors, he played in 57 games in 2021, 39 in 2024 and 42 last year.

Ivan Herrera

STL Designated Hitter #48

Iván Herrera delivered a pair of homers to knock in three runs and walked Saturday in the Cardinals’ 9-6 takedown of the Twins.

He had a two-run homer off Connor Prielipp as the second batter of the game, and he broke a 4-4 tie with the first of back-to-back homers with Jordan Walker in the seventh. It’s Herrera’s second career multihomer game, though he hit three the other time on Apr. 2, 2025. He has nine homers on the year, and he’s currently seventh in the majors with a .400 OBP.
