The Cleveland Guardians have recalled infielder from Triple-A Columbus, per MLB.com's Tim Stebbins. Wilson's promotion is the corresponding move for outfielder
Lane Thomas' placement on the 10-day IL with right foot plantar fasciitis. The 26-year-old Wilson has appeared in 24 games for Cleveland so far this season, slashing .176/.263/.235 with an elevated 39% strikeout rate. He's been far better at Triple-A, hitting .308 with eight home runs, 24 RBI, and 27 runs scored in 149 plate appearances. Wilson should remain off the radar of fantasy managers until he proves more consistent production in the big leagues or another injury opens up a path to regular playing time.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher
Seranthony Dominguez (back) has been unavailable to pitch for the past two days due to a sore back. Jake Rill of MLB.com noted that Dominguez suffered this minor injury because he "slept funny." Dominguez made his last appearance on June 30 when he tossed 1 2/3 innings of one-run ball (unearned run) with three strikeouts. Since June 1, Dominguez has been one of the most dominant relief pitchers in baseball, having not allowed an earned run while maintaining a 0.92 WHIP through 13 innings of work. In total, Dominguez has posted a 3.15 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP across 34 1/3 innings. He has struck out 45 hitters while allowing walks at an eight 14.4% rate. While Dominguez remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect
Felix Bautista to remain the top closer while
Gregory Soto,
Yennier Cano, and
Bryan Baker see other high-leverage options.

The Cleveland Guardians are placing outfielder
Lane Thomas (foot) on the 10-day injured list with right foot plantar fasciitis, per MLB.com's Tim Stebbins. Thomas exited Cleveland's game against the Detroit Tigers on Friday in the sixth inning, and this will be his second IL stint of the season as a result of his right foot injury. The veteran has struggled mightily in 142 plate appearances this season, slashing .160/.246/.272 with four home runs and four stolen bases. His 31% strikeout rate is his worst since 2020, and his 30.1% hard-hit rate is over 10% lower than his 40.6% mark in 2024. The nagging foot injury could be responsible for Thomas' fall-off at the plate, so he may need to regain full health before he gets back to being fantasy-relevant.

Baltimore Orioles utility man
Jorge Mateo (hamstring) has been transferred from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL, per a team announcement. The move was made to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for catcher
Alex Jackson. Mateo injured his hamstring while on a rehab assignment as he was working his way back from inflammation in his elbow. The ailments have limited him to 65 major-league plate appearances in 2025, and he's hitting .180 with a 35.4% K% in that limited sample. Mateo is a legitimate speed source (14 stolen bases), so he could be a name to monitor if he's able to return with a fully healthy hamstring for the final stretch of the season.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher
Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) has been transferred from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL, according to the team. The move was made to open a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever
Jesse Chavez. The announcement comes as no surprise, as Schwellenbach has been diagnosed with a fracture in his pitching elbow and will not resume throwing until the fracture heals. Until that point, there will not be a firm timetable for his return, but this injury is now guaranteed to keep him out until late this season at the earliest. It's a rough blow for Atlanta, as Schwellenbach was in the midst of an excellent season. In 110 2/3 IP (17 starts), he was 7-4 with a 3.09 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 108 strikeouts.

Baltimore Orioles infielder
Jordan Westburg is getting the day off on Sunday when his team faces the Atlanta Braves. Westburg has played each of Baltimore's last two games after returning from a left index finger injury, so this is likely just a rest day. Injuries have been an issue for him this season, as he's been limited to just 156 plate appearances so far in 2025. Westburg has slashed .243/.301/.479 with nine home runs, 17 RBI, and 23 runs scored in the time he's been on the field, largely in line with his career norms.

The Atlanta Braves have recalled veteran reliever
Jesse Chavez from Triple-A Gwinnett. In corresponding moves, the team optioned left-hander
Dylan Dodd to Triple-A and transferred starter
Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. The 41-year-old Chavez last appeared in a game for Atlanta in late April. In 30 2/3 minor league innings so far this season, he's recorded a 2.05 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with a 19.2% K-BB%. Chavez has pitched in the majors for the Braves in each of the last five seasons and should be called upon to eat innings in middle relief.

Atlanta Braves outfielder
Michael Harris II is out of the Braves lineup on Sunday as his team faces the Baltimore Orioles. The left-handed hitting Harris will get a rest against Baltimore lefty
Trevor Rogers. It's been a rough season for Harris against both left and right-handed pitchers, as he's posted a .212/.236/.319 slash line in 346 plate appearances. Harris' 6.5% barrel rate and 39.5% hard-hit rate are both career lows, as is his 2.9% walk rate. Harris is still a decent source of speed (12 stolen bases), but there's no question he's been a major disappointment for fantasy managers so far in 2025.

Detroit Tigers second baseman
Gleyber Torres (neck) is out of the lineup against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Torres left Saturday's 1-0 win early with a neck contusion. The good news is that it's not a significant injury, as Torres expects to be available to pinch-hit Sunday if the Tigers need him. The former Yankee, 28, has been a key part of Detroit's lineup in his first year with the team. He's slashing .279/.387/.424 with nine homers, 44 RBI, 46 runs scored, and four stolen bases over 331 plate appearances.
Colt Keith will take Torres' place at the keystone on Sunday.

The Baltimore Orioles have placed catcher/designated hitter
Gary Sanchez (knee) on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right knee. Additionally, the Orioles have acquired catcher
Alex Jackson from the New York Yankees for international signing bonus pool money and a player to be named later or cash considerations. To make room for Jackson, the Orioles moved infielder/outfielder
Jorge Mateo (hamstring) from the 10-day IL to the 60-day version. Sanchez is hitting the IL for the second time this year after missing all of May and half of June with wrist inflammation. The 32-year-old has been a regular presence in the O's lineup lately with starting backstop
Adley Rutschman on the IL, but now he'll be unavailable for at least 10 days. Sanchez has hit .231/.297/.418 with five home runs and 24 RBI in 101 plate appearances.

The Milwaukee Brewers have optioned right-hander
Chad Patrick to Triple-A Nashville. His roster spot is going to righty
Brandon Woodruff (elbow), who's back from the 60-day injured list. The team also transferred outfielder
Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) to the 60-day IL. Unfortunately for Patrick, he's the odd man out of Milwaukee's rotation with Woodruff set to make his season debut Sunday against the Miami Marlins. Despite a 3-7 record, Patrick has fared well as a rookie over 19 appearances and 18 starts. The 26-year-old has pitched to a 3.52 ERA with 95:30 K:BB and a 1.30 WHIP in 94 2/3 innings. He looks like a major league-caliber starter and should be back in the bigs later this year.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced that they have activated right-hander
Brandon Woodruff (elbow) from the 60-day injured list. The team optioned righty
Chad Patrick to Triple-A Nashville and transferred outfielder
Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) to the 60-day IL in corresponding moves. Woodruff will make his long-awaited return Sunday in a start against the Miami Marlins. The 32-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since September 2023. He missed all of last season as a result of shoulder surgery and has dealt with ankle and elbow issues while working back to the bigs this year. Woodruff established himself in Milwaukee's rotation in 2019 and has put up front-line numbers when healthy enough to take the mound. He's the owner of a career 3.10 ERA and has averaged 10.42 strikeouts per nine innings, but it may be unrealistic to expect that type of production after almost two full years away.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect
Aidan Miller went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, one RBI, one run scored, and a stolen base for Double-A Reading. Over his last six games, the Phils' second-ranked prospect is 8-for-21 (.381) including two doubles, a triple, a home run, a 5:8 BB:K, and he's stolen a base in five of the six contests. He's now hitting .243 with seven home runs and boasting a .358 OBP thanks to a strong 14.3 percent walk rate, while adding 31 stolen bases over 63 games for Reading. With continued success, the 21-year-old could see some time at Triple-A later this year, and has the tools to be a worthwhile watch in dynasty formats.

The Tampa Bay Rays have recalled right-hander
Joe Boyle from Triple-A Durham and optioned lefty
Joe Rock. Boyle is back in the majors for the first time since he posted an excellent start against the Atlanta Braves on April 13. He gave up two runs (both unearned) on no hits while striking out seven and walking two to earn the victory in that game. The 25-year-old has also held his own over a much larger sample size in the minors this season. Boyle has pitched to a microscopic 1.85 ERA with 96 strikeouts and 31 walks over 73 innings with Durham. It's unclear whether the Rays plan to start Boyle at some point before the All-Star break or use him in relief.
