The placement, which is retroactive to June 9, is due to lumbar spine inflammation. Ryan Kreidler is up from Triple-A Toledo to take the open active roster spot.

The Detroit Tigers could be one of the best stories in the league in 2024, but one veteran is a major cause for concern: Shortstop Javier Baez is now hitting
The Detroit Tigers are preparing for the 2024 season and they have the same hope of putting together a winning season and becoming one of the better teams in Major League Baseball.
According to Detroit Tigers' shortstop Javier Baez, he's dealt with injury issues over the last two seasons, which could have contributed to his subpar performance.
In the early 2010s, the Detroit Tigers were one of the best teams in Major League Baseball. They were the kings of the AL Central, and they came close to winning a World Series multiple times.
Detroit Tigers' shortstop Javier Baez is planning to make a major change to his offseason training this year. After a brutal season, Baez is planning to remain in the United States for much of the offseason, rather than spending the majority of his time in Puerto Rico.
Baez had until Saturday to terminate his current contract with the Detroit Tigers. Unsurprisingly, he declined to do so.
He owns a .230/.273/.361 line through the first two seasons of a six-year, $140M free agent pact. That includes a .222/.267/.325 slash through 547 trips to the dish in 2023.
All has not gone according to plan on the north side of Chicago, but the Cubs still find themselves in contention for a wild-card spot, a feat that almost feels like a disappointment given how winnable the NL Central appeared to be. With the right offseason additions, the Cubs could be primed to be a favorite in the division next year.
Javier Baez homered and drove in four runs, Tarik Skubal struck out nine in seven innings and the visiting Detroit Tigers pounded the Los Angeles Angels 11-2 on Friday night.

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez was scratched from the starting lineup of Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox due to right knee soreness.
The Javier Baez experience in Detroit has not been off to a great start, and things might have hit rock bottom on Thursday night when he was benched by manager A.J. Hinch for another brutal baserunning mistake.
The man known as "El Mago" (The Magician), showed off his bag of tricks once again. Known for his showmanship on the basepaths, Báez got silly with this swim move slide.
The Detroit Tigers made a key move on Thursday to strengthen their starting rotation, signing veteran right-hander Michael Lorenzen to a one-year, $8.5 million contract.
The Tigers have landed their new franchise shortstop. Detroit announced on Wednesday they’ve signed Javier Baez to a six-year contract.
In MLB history, shortstops have hit 30 or more home runs in a season 46 times. So, with that in mind, how many of the 46 can you name in five minutes?
Timing could be an issue with Baez, as there has been speculation that he would prefer to get his next contract finalized before the CBA expires on December 1.
Multiple reports suggested that Baez was in talks with the Tigers, but nothing has been finalized, so the Red Sox and Mets are still in the running.
According to Mets broadcaster Wayne Randazzo, Baez’s lost earring was worth roughly $200,000.
