The Dodgers placed Max Muncy on the 10-day injured list due to an oblique strain and claimed infielder Buddy Kennedy off waivers from the Blue Jays to fill the roster gap, while also designating Julian Fernández for assignment. Muncy's injury comes at a challenging time for the team, which is trying to maintain momentum in the playoff race amid other injuries in the infield.
The Phillies reinstated Bryce Harper from the injured list after nearly four weeks, while designating Buddy Kennedy for assignment to make room on the roster. Harper, who had wrist inflammation and other injuries, is expected to contribute offensively. Kennedy, who has limited MLB experience and was recently called up, is now DFA'd and may become a free agent if he clears waivers.
The Phillies promoted Buddy Kennedy to the active roster and transferred Aaron Nola to the 60-day injured list, with Kennedy replacing Weston Wilson as a versatile bench player. Nola's injury, a stress reaction in his rib cage, will keep him out until mid-July, likely missing the All-Star break.
The Detroit Tigers have made several roster changes, including designating infielder Buddy Kennedy for assignment and releasing first baseman Keston Hiura. Outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy's contract was selected, and Spencer Torkelson was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to take over as the regular first baseman. Kennedy, known for his plate discipline and versatility, may attract interest from other teams, while Hiura, despite his power potential, has struggled with strikeouts and will now seek new opportunities.
