MLB Teams Recall Multiple Pitchers, Position Players Amid Injuries

Several MLB teams are making roster moves involving pitchers and position players as they manage injuries and call up prospects. The Milwaukee Brewers expect left-hander Nestor Cortes to return from an elbow injury by the end of July after rehab starts in the minors, potentially creating a crowded rotation. The Minnesota Twins recalled pitcher Travis Adams from Triple-A to fill in for injured David Festa, though Adams has struggled in limited major league appearances this season. The Houston Astros brought up right-handed reliever Nick Hernandez from Triple-A following an injury to Lance McCullers, adding bullpen depth. Meanwhile, the Oakland Athletics are promoting former South Carolina infielder/outfielder Carlos Cortes, who is set to make his MLB debut after a strong minor league season with a .322 batting average and 17 home runs. Cortes' versatility in the outfield and impressive Pacific Coast League performance have made him a promising addition to the Athletics' roster.
