Jonny DeLuca was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to May 23, and Victor Mesa Jr. was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville. DeLuca injured the hamstring while running the bases in a win over the Yankees and had been contributing across all three outfield spots, primarily in a right-field platoon. With Jake Fraley also on the injured list, Ryan Vilade, Richie Palacios, and Mesa became the main options to cover outfield innings. Michael Winn was placed on the 15-day injured list for throwing-arm fatigue, and Gavin Collyer was recalled. Danny Coulombe was activated from the 15-day injured list, pitching a scoreless relief inning after missing time with back spasms.
"The Rays placed outfielder Jonny DeLuca on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 23) due to a right hamstring strain, and called up Victor Mesa Jr. from Triple-A Jacksonville. DeLuca suffered the injury while running the bases in Friday's 4-2 Rays victory over the Yankees, and he underwent an MRI today to determine the severity of the strain. DeLuca has hit .269/.298/.412 over 125 plate appearances while chipping in at all three outfield positions, though most of his work has some as the right-handed hitting side of a right field platoon with Jake Fraley."
"Both sides of that platoon are now on the IL since Fraley is recovering from sports hernia surgery, leaving Ryan Vilade, Richie Palacios, and Mesa as the top candidates to pick up the slack in the outfield. The Rangers placed right-hander on the 15-day IL due to fatigue in his throwing arm, and called up right-hander Gavin Collyer (this was the only corresponding move since Collyer was already on the 40-man roster). Winn has a 25.8% strikeout rate and 7.9% walk rate over 19 1/3 innings out of the Texas bullpen, but a lot of hard contact and an unfavorable .345 BABIP have resulted in a 5.59 ERA that is far higher than his 3.25 SIERA."
"While Winn's arm issue doesn't seem too serious, he missed significant time in both the 2024 and 2025 seasons due to shoulder and rotator cuff problems. The Red Sox activated Danny Coulombe from the 15-day IL prior to today's game with the Twins, and the left-hander tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Boston's 6-5 loss. (Left-hander Tyler Samaniego was optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move.) Coulombe missed a little over three weeks due to back spasms, and his 5.00 ERA over nine innings this season can be largely attributed to one very rough outing against the Yankees on April 23."
