Guardians lose hard-throwing pitcher to injured list
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WKBN) – The Cleveland Guardians placed right-handed pitcher Andrew Walters on the 15-day injured list with a strained right lat on Saturday.
He suffered the injury in Friday night's 4-1 loss to the Angels. He was forced to leave the game after throwing a pitch in the ninth inning.
The right-hander was just activated from the injured list on Wednesday before suffering the most recent injury.
This season, he has appeared in two games for Cleveland. He has posted an ERA of 13.50, with two strikeouts in 1.1 innings of work.
In a corresponding roster move, the Guardians have recalled right-handed reliever Nic Enright from Triple-A Columbus.
Enright has pitched three innings with four strikeouts for the Guardians this season.

Top fantasy baseball prospects: Roman Anthony gets the call, Brady House could be next
A reminder: This is ONLY players who have Rookie of the Year MLB eligibility, and ONLY a look at potential help for 2025. That out of the way, here's a look at the top prospects who can help your fantasy roster this season. 1. Roman Anthony, OF, Boston Red Sox 2025 stats: 53 G, .303/.430/.492, 8 HR, 3 SB, 45 BB, 4349 SO at Triple-A Worcester. has been deserving of this promotion for a while, but perhaps a 497 foot grand slam was what it took for the top prospect in baseball to finally get a chance to face MLB pitching. Prospects fail because baseball is hard and scouting isn't/never will be an exact science, but the skill set Anthony possesses makes it hard for me to imagine he won't at least be a solid player in his first taste of MLB action. The future's even brighter, but fantasy managers should run -- not walk -- to their electronic devices to add Anthony if he's still available. 2. Jordan Lawlar, 2B, Arizona Diamondbacks 2025 stats: 39 G, .326/.405/.580, 8 HR, 14 SB, 22 BB, 52 SO at Triple-A Reno; 8 G .000/.175/.000, 0 SB, 3 BB, 9 SO at Arizona. Lawlar's average has taken a dip since being demoted back to Reno, but he's seen his slugging percentage go up and had another two homers since our last update. Even with how disappointing his run with Arizona was, there's doubt in my mind that he belongs on this list. There's five tools at his disposal, and he offers as much upside as any prospect in the minors -- at least at the higher levels. When the Diamondbacks give him another chance this summer, I'd still be willing to make the roster move. 3. Brady House, INF, Washington Nationals2025 stats: 59 G, .299/.352/.521, 12 HR, 0 SB, 19 BB, 66 SO at Triple-A to the list, Brady. We've been expecting you. House was disappointing in 2024, but the former first-round pick has bounced back nicely in his first full season in Triple-A. There's easy plus power in his right-handed bat, and while he does offer considerable swing-and-miss, there's also some Kris Bryant to the game -- the Cubs version, to be clear -- where he makes enough hard contact to still help in the average category. The approach needs work, but House has a chance to do enough good things to make him worthy of fantasy consideration whenever the Nats call him up. It seems like that could be relatively soon. 4. Jacob Misiorowski, RHP, Milwaukee Brewers 2025 stats: 13 G, 63.1 IP, 2.12 ERA, .175 BAA, 31 BB, 80 SO at Triple-A Nashville. That's more like it. Misiorowski had an awful week in our previous edition, but bounced back nicely in his most recent start. The right-hander fired five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, and he allowed just a pair of hits. He also walked three, and the control has not been great for Misiorowski as of late; something that the Brewers are certainly aware of as it's considered his biggest flaw. As long as he can throw strikes at an average rate, Misiorowski's stuff is special enough for him to be an elite bat-misser at the highest level. Even at a below-average mark -- a more realistic expectation -- Misiorowski is certainly good enough for fantasy plaudits. 5. Christian Moore, 2B, Los Angeles Angels 2025 stats: 52 G, .270/.367/.388, 3 HR, 8 SB, 30 BB, 63 SO at Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake. It's a little surprising that a first-round pick from the previous year hasn't gotten called up yet based on their recent history, but Moore did receive a promotion to Triple-A, and it has gone well so far, albeit in a small sample. The eighth-overall pick has hit .362/.456/.468 since joining the Bees over 18 games, and he's stolen three bases with three extra-base hits. Moore has plus power and speed in his bat, and while he will strike out, he's also a patient hitter who can draw free passes and put those wheels to work. The Angels have been playing well, but their middle infield still leaves a lot to be desired. I like his chance for fantasy success whenever he does get the call.

Aaron Judge delivers powerful statement with home run against Red Sox rookie who refuses to sign with Yankees
Aaron Judge heard what Boston Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins had to say about his New York Yankees. Instead of talking back, he let his bat do the talking on Sunday night. Before his Sunday start, Dobbins told the Boston Herald that he would rather retire than sign with the Yankees. Judge said before the game that he was "a little surprised" Dobbins, a lifelong Red Sox fan thanks to his die-hard father, made that comment. Judge wasted no time getting back at Dobbins on the field, smashing a 97 mph fastball 436 feet to right-center field for a two-run home run. The ball exited Judge's bat at 108.6 mph, and everyone in the Yankee Stadium crowd knew the tension that was already there with Dobbins' comments making national headlines. "I've only heard Ken Griffey say that, so I was a little surprised," Judge said of Dobbins' comments, via ESPN. He was referencing the Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., who said he wouldn't sign with the Yankees during his career after seeing how the franchise treated his father, Ken Griffey Sr., while he played for him. In the end, though, Dobbins and the Red Sox got the last laugh. Despite giving up those two runs in the first inning, Dobbins was solid against the Yankees lineup after that. He allowed one more earned run and four hits total over his five innings of work. Boston's offense also unloaded midway through the rivalry game, with Kristian Campbell hitting a two-run homer in the top of the fifth inning to get them on the board. Then, in the top of the sixth inning, a five-spot was put on the home team thanks in part to Carlos Narvàez's three-run homer. The Red Sox would add two runs each in the top of the eighth and ninth innings to ultimately beat their AL East rival 11-7, winning their first series of the year two games to one. Judge went yard once more in the bottom of the ninth inning to cut the Red Sox's lead to four, going to the bullpen in right-center to finish his night 3-for-4 with three runs scored and four RBI. Despite the loss over the weekend, the Yankees are still leading the division at 39-25. However, the Red Sox perhaps found some new life beating one of the best teams in baseball in this series. They are now 32-35 going into the week, where they will see New York once again with a weekend grudge match at Fenway Park in Boston. As of now, Dobbins is slated to face the Yankees in his next start. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Kerry Carpenter hits 3 home runs in Detroit Tigers' 13-1 win over Chicago White Sox
CHICAGO — Kerry Carpenter hit three home runs against the Chicago White Sox on Monday, June 2, in the opener of a four-game series at Rate Field — launching his first shot in the first inning, another in the fourth, and his final blast in the sixth. The Detroit Tigers won easily, 12-1. Advertisement They're the first MLB team to 40 wins, with a 40-21 record. The 27-year-old, a former 19th-round draft pick, became the first Tigers player to hit three homers in a game since Victor Martinez on June 16, 2016. It marked the best game of Carpenter's four-year MLB career, which now spans 292 games. He finished 3-for-5 with five RBIs in five plate appearances. His three home runs combined for 1,156 feet. These were the three homers: In the first, he hit a middle-middle 83.9 mph changeup from right-hander Jonathan Cannon for a 401-foot homer to right-center field. In the fourth, he hit a down-and-in 87.5 mph cutter from right-handed reliever Bryse Wilson for a 357-foot homer to right field. In the sixth, he hit a middle-middle 92.4 mph fastball from Wilson for a 398-foot homer to center field. Advertisement The first homer put the Tigers ahead, 2-0, in the first inning, the second homer made it 8-0 in the fourth, and the third homer increased the Tigers' lead to 10-0 in the sixth. Carpenter is hitting .276 with 13 home runs in 56 games this season, posting an .822 OPS. He had been in the leadoff spot, but the return of Parker Meadows pushed him down to third in the lineup for the first time in 2025. The Tigers benefitted from a pair of non-Carpenter home runs: Dillon Dingler in the first inning and Wenceel Pérez in the second inning, both off Cannon. In the eighth inning, Carpenter flew out to center field in his attempt for his fourth home run. He also struck out swinging with a runner in scoring position in the second inning. Advertisement Only 19 players have hit four home runs in a game, including Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez on April 26, 2025. Before then, a four-homer game hadn't happened since J.D. Martinez — also for the Diamondbacks — in September 4, 2017. No player has ever hit multiple four-homer games in their MLB career. Jack Flaherty shines Right-hander Jack Flaherty allowed one run on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts in six innings, throwing 99 pitches. The White Sox scored their lone run in the sixth. The 29-year-old owns a 2.22 ERA with six walks and 26 strikeouts across 24⅓ innings in his past four starts, including one run in his last 12 innings. Advertisement He has a 3.72 ERA in 12 starts. An amazing catch The Tigers made a one-in-a-million catch in the fifth inning, courtesy of the catcher and the third baseman. It was Dingler to Zach McKinstry. A ball hit into foul territory tipped off Dingler's glove, then ricocheted off McKinstry's leg, and somehow ended up in McKinstry's glove — just before landing in the dirt. The play happened in front of Chicago's dugout. This story will be updated. Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.
