MLB Injury Report & Roster Moves

The Milwaukee Brewers saw a strong outing from pitcher Brandon Woodruff, who recorded his 900th career strikeout in his return from the injured list. Woodruff navigated a perfect game through the sixth inning in his first start since April 30. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers lost outfielder Kyle Tucker, who exited Monday's game with low back spasms in the second inning.

The Cincinnati Reds expect shortstop Elly De La Cruz to be reinstated from the injured list on Tuesday after a 19-game absence due to a strained right hamstring. De La Cruz completed three rehab starts for Triple-A Louisville. Similarly, the New York Mets are evaluating shortstop Francisco Lindor's activation after he plays a third rehab game for Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, having been sidelined for two months. In other roster news, the Philadelphia Phillies recalled right-hander Alan Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and reinstated left-hander Kyle Backhus from the 15-day injured list.

League Policy & Player Guidance

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred stated in a letter to Senator Josh Hawley that the San Francisco Giants failed to adequately inform players regarding their option to not wear rainbow-themed caps. The guidance on the caps was reportedly "not clear," leading to confusion among players about their ability to opt out of the Pride-themed apparel.
