Brewers Place Logan Henderson On Injured List
4:15pm: Per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, manager Pat Murphy said Crow won’t start until Friday, with the Brewers likely deploying some kind of bullpen game on Wednesday before the off-day.
4:02pm: The Brewers announced that right-hander Logan Henderson has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a low back strain, retroactive to May 23rd. Fellow righty Coleman Crow has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.
It’s unclear how serious this back issue is for Henderson. Even if it’s ultimately a brief stint on the IL, it once again prevents Henderson from getting an extended stretch of big league starts. He has posted good numbers when given the chance but injuries and roster considerations have gotten in his way.
Henderson made four really strong starts in April and May of last year. Unfortunately, the Brewers had enough veteran rotation options that Henderson was sent to the minors for a few months. He returned in August and made one more start before elbow inflammation put him on the IL for the rest of the year. Here in 2026, he started the season once again buried on the depth chart. Injuries to Quinn Priester and Brandon Woodruff opened a chance for him but now Henderson is joining those two on the IL.
On the whole, Henderson has made ten big league starts with great numbers. He has a 2.23 ERA, a 33.3% strikeout rate and 7.4% walk rate. Unfortunately, due to the injuries and the crowded rotation mix, those ten starts have been scattered across a span of more than a year. The rotation is temporarily a bit shorthanded but Henderson won’t be able to take advantage of that now that he’s dealing with this back issue.
As for the Brewers, they will have to work around those injuries for a bit. Kyle Harrison is taking the ball tonight, with Crow perhaps following him on Wednesday. The club is off on Thursday, with Brandon Sproat and Jacob Misiorowski lined up for Friday and Saturday. Due to the off-day, they could perhaps go back to Harrison on normal rest on Sunday but won’t be able to get by with just four starters for long. Friday kicks off a stretch of 13 days in a row with a scheduled game.
Priester and Woodruff will be back in the mix at some point. Priester, who was been battling a nerve issue in his shoulder, is on a rehab assignment. He got up to three innings last time and will make his next appearance tomorrow, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Woodruff, who has been shelved since the beginning of the month due to shoulder inflammation, is scheduled for a four-inning live batting practice session next week. Until Priester, Woodruff or Henderson get back, Milwaukee might be improvising a bit.
Robert Gasser is on the 40-man roster but he was optioned on May 24th. When a pitcher is optioned, he can’t be recalled for 15 days unless replacing a player going on the IL. Thomas Pannone has a 3.04 ERA in Triple-A this year but isn’t currently on the 40-man roster. Garrett Stallings is another non-roster option. He has a 3.34 Triple-A ERA in a swing role this year, though his most recent outing saw him pitch two innings out of the bullpen.
Turning to options already on the active roster, Chad Patrick was in the rotation earlier this year but got moved to the bullpen. He tossed a combined 1 2/3 innings over his past two appearances but logged four innings as recently as May 16th. Shane Drohan has also been in a multi-inning role, logging three frames on Sunday. Aaron Ashby, DL Hall, Carlos Rodriguez and Jake Woodford have been making a lot of appearances of in the range of two innings and could potentially provide some bulk.

Athletics Promote Gage Jump
3:05pm: The A’s officially announced their selection of Jump’s contract. Civale has indeed been placed on the 15-day IL, due to right shoulder tendonitis. Outfielder Denzel Clarke has been transferred to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. Clarke has a significant hamstring strain and will be out beyond the All-Star break.
7:08am: The A’s are calling up left-hander Gage Jump, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 23-year-old is among the top prospects in the organization. When he first appears in a game, it will be his MLB debut. The team has yet to announce the move. The A’s have a full 40-man roster and would need to make an adjustment to add Jump.
MLB Pipeline ranks Jump at No. 3 in the Athletics system. FanGraphs‘ Eric Longenhagen has him behind only shortstop Leo De Vries. Jump has a mid-4.00s ERA at Triple-A this season, but he’s delivered a hefty 33.1% strikeout rate. He allowed just two earned runs over 9 2/3 innings in MLB Spring Training this year.
The A’s took Jump with the 73rd overall pick in the 2024 draft out of LSU. He immediately provided workhorse-level production in his first taste of pro ball, tossing 112 2/3 innings in 2025. Jump posted a 3.28 ERA and a sub-3.00 FIP between High-A and Double-A. He didn’t crack MLB Pipeline’s top 100 prospects last year, but sits at No. 41 in this season’s rankings.
Jump has shown a diverse pitch mix with Las Vegas. He’s leaned on the four-seamer more than half the time, but also thrown plenty of sliders (18.3%) and curveballs (13.1%). Jump has also used both a sweeper and a changeup more than 5% of the time. Control has been a bit of an issue, as Jump’s 11.8% walk rate is a significant increase from his 2025 mark.
The workload for Jump had been a bit limited to begin the year. He hadn’t completed five innings with the Aviators through eight appearances. Jump went seven strong innings in his last start, striking out nine without issuing a walk. He could step into a rotation that doesn’t have much stability outside of Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs. Manager Mark Kotsay mentioned a possible IL stint for Aaron Civale after Monday’s game, which would open up a rotation spot.

Orioles Designate Dietrich Enns For Assignment
The Orioles announced that they have recalled left-hander Nick Raquet from Triple-A Norfolk, a move that was reported by Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com earlier. In a corresponding move, the O’s designated fellow lefty Dietrich Enns for assignment.
Enns, now 35, had an intriguing comeback season in 2025. He had made his major league debut a few years prior but wound up pitching overseas from 2022 to 2024. He was back in North America last year and logged 46 1/3 innings between the Tigers and Orioles. He allowed 4.08 earned runs per nine. His 24.5% strikeout rate and 7.5% walk rate were both a bit better than average. He may have even had better results without a .338 batting average on balls in play, which is why his 3.54 SIERA was a bit lower than his ERA.
The O’s signed Enns for the 2026 season, a one-year deal with a $2.625MM guarantee and a club option for 2027. Here in 2026, a left foot infection put him on the IL for about a month, from early April to early May. Around that IL stint, he has given Baltimore 16 innings with a 3.94 ERA but with worse numbers under the hood. His 18.6% strikeout rate and 15.7% walk rate are both subpar figures. His BABIP and strand rate are now to the lucky side, so his 5.24 SIERA suggests he’s been worse than last year, even though he ERA is slightly better.
The Rays and Orioles went to 13 innings last night. Baltimore ultimately came out on top but it was a bit of a pyrrhic victory, as they had to use six relievers in the process. One of them was Enns, who was pitching for a second straight day. It’s likely that Baltimore’s decision to cut Enns came from a combination of the pitching staff being taxed, him being unavailable, and his uninspiring results this year. He is out of options and needed to be bumped off the 40-man entirely to open an active roster spot.
Enns now heads into DFA limbo, which can last as long as a week. The waiver process takes 48 hours, so the Orioles could take five days to explore trade interest. Given this year’s results and salary, they may not find much interest. If Enns were to clear waivers, he would likely stick around as non-roster depth. He has a previous career outright and would technically have the right to elect free agency in that scenario. But since he has less than five years of big league service time, he would have to walk away from the money he is still owed on his current deal.

Mets Reinstate A.J. Minter From 60-Day IL, Select Eric Wagaman
The Mets announced that they have reinstated left-hander A.J. Minter from the 60-day injured list. Additionally, infielder/outfielder Jared Young has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list and infielder Eric Wagaman has been selected to the roster. In corresponding active roster moves, outfielder Tyrone Taylor has been placed on the 10-day IL with a right hip flexor strain, while right-hander Jonathan Pintaro and outfielder Nick Morabito have been optioned. In terms of 40-man spots for Minter and Wagaman, the Mets had one vacancy. They said a corresponding move to open another spot will be announced prior to game time. Tim Britton and Will Sammon of Athletic reported most of these moves prior to the official announcement.
Minter and the Mets agreed to a two-year, $22MM deal going into the 2025 season. They haven’t been able to get much return on that investment yet. Minter tossed 11 innings last year before a lat strain sent him to the IL and ultimately required season-ending surgery. Here in 2026, he and the Mets started his spring ramp-up a bit behind the other pitchers. He started the season on IL but was able to start a rehab assignment in April. Unfortunately, some left hip discomfort slowed him down, which got him moved to the 60-day IL.
Ideally, Minter can now finally give the Mets an extended stretch of health and good results. Prior to this injury odyssey, he was quite an effective reliever for a division rival. From 2020 to 2024, he posted a 2.85 earned run average over 243 innings for Atlanta, striking out 30.1% of batters faced in that time. But he’s been injured for most of the past two years, actually dating back to before the Mets signed him, as he dealt with hip issues in 2024 and required surgery that summer.
Brooks Raley has been the club’s primary lefty reliever this season. Sean Manaea is also in the bullpen but is mostly working as a bulk reliever. Minter and Raley should be the primary options for situations where a traditional lefty reliever is wanted.
The Mets have been out to a rough start, with a 22-32 record, putting them 7.5 games back of a playoff spot. If they can’t climb in the standings, they could go into the deadline as sellers. Minter and Raley are impending free agents, so both would be natural trade candidates if that’s the way things go.
Wagaman was claimed by the Mets last month and optioned to the minors. Not long after that, he was put on waivers and cleared. He has put up a massive .372/.462/.581 line in 13 games for Syracuse since that claim. Now he gets back onto a 40-man roster.
While it’s nice that Wagaman has been crushing the ball, some caveats apply. For one thing, that line came in a small sample of 52 plate appearances. For another, he had a huge .424 batting average on balls in play in that time. Furthermore, Wagaman has often put up good minor league numbers. From 2022 to 2024, he had a .276/.348/.473 line and 131 wRC+ in 897 plate appearances on the farm.
That has led to major league opportunities that he hasn’t been able to capitalize on. He has a .250/.293/.381 line and 85 wRC+ in 588 trips to the plate in the big leagues. The Marlins designated him for assignment in the winter and traded him to the Twins. Minnesota kept him in the minors to start the year and designated him for assignment a month into the season, which is when the Mets claimed him.
Wagaman has experience at the four corner spots, though the Mets have only been using him as a first baseman and designated hitter for Syracuse. The Mets are getting subpar results from Mark Vientos at first base this year. With Jorge Polanco on the IL, a lot of DH at-bats have gone to MJ Melendez. Though Melendez was red hot when the Mets first called him up, he has a .119/.288/.167 line since the calendar flipped to May.
In the outfield, Juan Soto, A.J. Ewing, Carson Benge, Morabito and Taylor have been splitting the work out there. Now that Morabito and Taylor are out, Young will jump in and perhaps Wagaman could get some time in the outfield as well.

White Sox Call Up David Sandlin For MLB Debut
May 26th: The White Sox officially announced their recall of Sandlin today. In a corresponding move, Schultz was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right knee patellar tendinitis, retroactive to May 25th.
May 25th: The White Sox are planning to promote right-hander David Sandlin, reports Elijah Evans of Just Baseball and Future Sox. The 25-year-old is already on Chicago’s 40-man, but the team will need to make space for Sandlin on the active roster. Confirming the move, James Fegan of Sox Machine noted that Sandlin is likely going to start for the White Sox, although it’s not entirely clear how he would fit into the rotation. It’s possible he’s only coming up to make a spot start, considering Chicago is in the midst of playing 13 games without a day off.
Sandlin, 25, began his professional career with the Royals in 2022, and Kansas City traded him to Boston in 2024. The Red Sox then dealt the righty to the White Sox this past winter – along with Jordan Hicks, two players to be named later, and cash – in exchange for Gage Ziehl. Sandlin was the prize of the deal for the White Sox, who were willing to take on most of Hicks’ remaining salary to acquire him. In fact, at the time of the trade, general manager Chris Getz even described Sandlin as “essentially” part of the return for Luis Robert Jr., since the GM was able to use some of the money he saved by trading Robert (and his $20MM salary) to pay Hicks, and, therefore, to secure Sandlin. Getz went on to say that Sandlin would compete for a spot on Chicago’s Opening Day roster, praising his “mid-rotation” arsenal and stuff. “He’s got a chance to really impact our starting rotation this year,” Getz explained (per MLB.com’s Scott Merkin).
Sandlin didn’t end up pitching in big league spring training. Back and forearm soreness (per Fegan) forced him to start the season on the minor league injured list instead. However, from his first rehab start at High-A Winston-Salem to his latest outing for Triple-A Charlotte, he has been nothing short of electric. Leading with a four-seam fastball that flirts with triple digits, he’s given up just 12 hits in 16 1/3 innings, striking out 26. While his walk rate is high, he hasn’t let the free passes lead to much damage; Sandlin didn’t allow an earned run until his most recent start.
Most prospect evaluators roughly agree with Getz’s assessment of Sandlin. He has No. 3 or 4 starter upside, but he needs to improve his control and hone the rest of his arsenal (besides that high-velocity heater) if he’s going to get there. While his results this season have been promising, his Triple-A numbers from 2025 demonstrate why there’s cause for concern. In his first 23 2/3 innings at the highest minor league level, he walked 13 batters, beaned two more, and gave up 35 hits en route to a 7.61 ERA and 5.27 FIP.
Davis Martin has been a revelation for the White Sox this season. Anthony Kay and Sean Burke have been solid, despite their ups and downs. Noah Schultz and Erick Fedde have struggled badly. Even so, it’s hard to imagine that Sandlin would take either of their spots in the rotation. Schultz could be optioned, while Fedde could be DFA’d. Yet, Sandlin isn’t stretched out to take on a full starter’s workload, and he’s never made more than 18 starts or thrown more than 106 innings in a professional season. So, it seems more likely that he’s joining the team to give the rest of the rotation an extra day of rest. Of course, that doesn’t mean he can’t stay in Chicago if he pitches well. This might be a spot start for now, but the White Sox aren’t going to send down anyone who can give them quality innings. They’re currently in a playoff position, despite a mediocre 4.47 ERA and 4.19 SIERA. If Sandlin succeeds, he shouldn’t have trouble sticking around.
Rays Sign Craig Kimbrel
2:30pm: The Rays have officially announced Kimbrel’s signing. In a corresponding active roster move, right-hander Jesse Scholtens has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right wrist strain.
11:36am: Veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel is heading to the Rays on a major league deal, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Kimbrel was designated for assignment by the Mets last week and elected free agency. The 37-year-old is represented by SportsMeter.
The Rays have yet to announce the move. The club has multiple openings on its 40-man roster, so no tweak will be needed there. Kimbrel is expected to be available for tonight’s game against the Orioles, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
The Mets added Kimbrel on a minor league deal in January. He failed to break camp with the team, but was called up in early April. The right-hander didn’t allow an earned run over his first four appearances in New York. He has struggled recently, permitting seven earned runs over 9 2/3 innings in May. He covered 2 2/3 frames on Wednesday, ceding two earned runs. The Mets DFAed him on Friday.
The well-traveled Kimbrel will have appeared with 11 MLB teams once he gets into a game with the Rays. Tonight could be considered a revenge game for the righty, but he’s pitched for three other clubs since his 2024 stint in Baltimore. Kimbrel put himself back on the big-league map to close 2025. He opened the year with the Braves, but only threw an inning in the majors. The veteran bounced to the Rangers, then landed in Houston. Kimbrel put together 13 solid appearances with the Astros, posting a 2.45 ERA with a 34.8% strikeout rate.
Tampa Bay lost Pete Fairbanks to free agency and Edwin Uceta to a shoulder injury heading into 2026. Griffin Jax got the first crack at the vacated closer role, but faltered. He’s now being stretched out as a starter. Bryan Baker has assumed the 9th-inning gig and performed quite well. The former Oriole has piled up 14 saves through 24 appearances. He’s been scored upon just twice in May. Kimbrel and his 440 career saves are unlikely to unseat Baker anytime soon.

Guardians Select Will Dion
The Guardians announced that they have selected to contract of left-hander Will Dion. The 40-man roster had a vacancy due to Rule 5 pick Peyton Pallette being designated for assignment a few days ago. To open an active roster spot for Dion, left-hander Logan Allen was optioned to Triple-A Columbus.
Dion, 26, was a ninth-round pick in the 2021 draft. As he climbed the minor league ladder, he worked primarily as a starter. Despite not having elite velocity, he was able to put up pretty good numbers through Double-A but struggled when he first reached Triple-A.
Here in 2026, he has been working exclusively out of the bullpen with very encouraging results. He has thrown 26 innings over 15 appearances, allowing 4.50 earned runs per nine. That ERA is obviously not going to knock any socks off but things look much better under the hood. Dion has struck out 34.6% of batters faced and only given out walks to 4.8% of opponents. The extra runs seem to have been caused by a .371 batting average on balls in play and 58% strand rate, which are both to the unlucky side. His 1.83 FIP on the year paints a much more flattering picture than his ERA.
As mentioned, Dion doesn’t light up the radar gun. He was averaging around 90 miles per hour with his four-seamer in 2024 and 2025. He has ticked up in a relief role this year but only to 91.2 mph. Statcast also credits him with a sinker, cutter, slider, curveball and changeup. Going into 2025, when he was still a starter, FanGraphs ranked him the #37 prospect in the club’s system. That report noted that Dion’s delivery resembled that of Clayton Kershaw. It also stated that Dion’s fastball can outperform the velo thanks to its riding life and that his secondaries are not outstanding but the change plays up thanks to Dion’s excellent command.
The Guards have had Erik Sabrowski and Tim Herrin as their two lefty relievers for most of the season. Allen was called up on Sunday to add a long relief option. Sabrowski hit the IL yesterday, then Allen was needed to cover four innings out of the bullpen in last night’s contest. With Sabrowski on the shelf and Allen unavailable for a few days, Dion has been added.
For now, Dion gives Cleveland a second lefty reliever alongside Herrin and will be making his major league debut as soon as he gets into a game. Both Herrin and Dion are optionable, should the Guards decide to make a switch later in the year, or if Sabrowski is able to get healthy relatively quickly.

Latest On Wander Franco’s Legal Proceedings
Rays shortstop Wander Franco‘s retrial reached a verdict yesterday, with Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times among those to cover the details. Franco was found guilty of sexual and psychological abuse of a minor but will not serve prison time because the three-judge panel ruled that he was both a defendant and a victim in the case. He was given a judicial pardon which exempts him from punishment but the conviction stands. The minor’s mother was sentenced to ten years for money laundering and threats of exposure. The full verdict with more details will be read in court on the morning of June 16th.
It’s a similar result to the previous trial, which concluded in June of last year. At that time, Franco was found guilty. He received a two-year suspended sentence and would only have to serve the sentence if he didn’t meet certain conditions. The minor’s mother was found guilty of trafficking her daughter and sentenced to ten years. Both sides appealed and a new trial was ordered. Once again, the victim’s mother has received a ten-year sentence while Franco has been found guilty but is not expected to serve prison time.
“We are aware of today’s verdict in the Wander Franco trial and will conclude our investigation at the appropriate time,” Major League Baseball said in a statement late Monday afternoon.
“The Tampa Bay Rays are aware of today’s ruling in the Dominican Republic involving Wander Franco,” the team said in a statement. “We respect the legal process and the decision issued by the court. This is a serious matter, and our thoughts remain with those affected by the case. The Rays will continue to cooperate fully with Major League Baseball as it completes its review under the league’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy. Out of respect for the legal process and all parties involved, we will have no further comment at this time.”
In August of 2023, investigators in the D.R. began looking into accusations that the Rays shortstop had engaged in a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl while he was 21. The age of consent in that country is 18. In July of 2024, Franco was formally charged with sexual abuse and sexual exploitation against a minor, as well as human trafficking. In September of last year, it was reported that the case would proceed to trial.
Major League Baseball placed Franco on administrative leave in August last year when the accusations first emerged, standard procedure for players who are being investigated under the joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy. He was reinstated for the offseason in a procedural move but placed back on administrative leave when the 2024 campaign began. He was moved to the restricted list in July of 2024 when he was formally charged, at which point he was no longer receiving big league pay or service time.
Throughout the proceedings, accusations had also emerged against the girl’s mother, that she received payments from Franco worth thousands of dollars to remain silent about her daughter’s abuse.
Back in 2021, Franco and the Rays signed an 11-year, $182MM extension which was set to run through 2032. In the wake of his conviction, it’s unclear if he’ll be able to get the work visa necessary for him to return to the United States. Even if he somehow were able to get a visa, he may not be able to get back on the field. Under the aforementioned league policy, MLB can suspend players even in situations lacking a conviction. In Franco’s case, even though he may not serve time, he has been twice found guilty. The Rays haven’t been paying him for almost two years now and that will continue to be the case if he can’t get a visa or receives a suspension that keeps him on the restricted list.

Cole Ragans Pauses Rehab After Experiencing Elbow Stiffness
Royals left-hander Cole Ragans will be shut down from throwing for the next few days after feeling stiffness in his elbow. Kansas City’s ace went to the injured list with a left elbow impingement in early May. Ragans pitched well in a rehab outing on Saturday, but “did not recover well” from the start, manager Matt Quatraro told reporters, including Anne Rogers of MLB.com.
Ragans will take some time to see if the elbow stiffness fades before resuming his rehab. The lefty relayed to Rogers that the symptoms were similar to the pain he felt during his final big-league start before heading to the injured list. Ragans was pulled after three scoreless frames against the Guardians on May 6. He returned to the mound over the weekend, tossing 4 1/3 innings with Omaha. Ragans struck out three and had his typical fastball velocity.
The 28-year-old Ragans delivered a workhorse campaign in his first full year with Kansas City. He reached a career-high 186 1/3 innings over 32 starts in 2024. The lefty has now battled significant injury issues in each of the past two seasons.
Ragans missed three weeks with a groin strain early last year. He returned for one start in June, then went right back to the IL after straining his left rotator cuff. Ragans was knocked out of his third start of 2026 after taking a comebacker off his throwing hand. He recovered in time to make his next appearance, only to go down with the elbow issue in early May.
The stuff looks normal for Ragans this year, but the command has been out of whack. He has a massive 15.2% walk rate through 35 1/3 frames. The veteran has thrown just 60.4% of his pitches for strikes, easily a career-worst mark. Ragans piled up 12 walks in his first two starts after the hand injury, so it’s possible the comebacker was to blame for his poor control numbers. His Location+ was right at league average for one of those games, though. Ragans has an unsightly 87 Location+ for the season.
The Royals are patching together the rotation with Ragans and Kris Bubic on the shelf. The results have been solid so far. Stephen Kolek came off the IL to take Ragans’ spot. He dominated the Mariners over the weekend, tossing a complete game shutout. The righty has put together 15 1/3 scoreless innings in his past two outings. Bailey Falter and Luinder Avila are tag-teaming Bubic’s rotation spot. The pair limited the Red Sox to two earned runs over five innings last week. Falter and Avila are expected to team up against the Yankees on Tuesday.

Spencer Turnbull Signs With Mexican League Team
Veteran right-hander Spencer Turnbull has signed with Cerveceros de Tecate of the Mexican Northern League, relays Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Turnbull made a handful of appearances with the Blue Jays last season. He closed the year in the Royals’ minor league system.
Turnbull, 33, spent parts of seven seasons in the big leagues. The majority of his time in the majors came with the Tigers. Detroit selected Turnbull with a second-round pick in the 2014 draft. He briefly debuted with the club in 2018, then emerged as a full-time member of the rotation in 2019. The righty had a sub-4.00 FIP and a 4.62 SIERA, but didn’t get much help from a Detroit squad that lost 114 games. Turnbull led the league with 17 losses that year.
After a decent performance in the shortened 2020 campaign, injuries derailed Turnbull’s career. He got off to a strong start in 2021, including a no-hitter against the Mariners, but went down with a forearm strain after nine appearances. The injury eventually required Tommy John surgery. Turnbull missed all of 2022. He came back the following season but was limited to seven starts with a neck injury.
Turnbull landed with the Phillies in 2024 after wrapping up his time in Detroit. He looked like a reliable swingman piece in the Philadelphia bullpen. The righty struck out more than a batter per inning across 54 1/3 innings, which included seven starts and 10 relief outings. He had a solid 3.80 xFIP and a 3.67 SIERA in the multi-faceted role. Turnbull’s season was cut short in late June due to a lat strain. He made three appearances for the Blue Jays last year, posting an ERA above 7.00. Turnbull had minor league stints with the Cubs and Royals before heading to Mexico.
