The Opener: Eflin, Casparius, Melton
Briefly

The Orioles activate Eflin from the injured list, as they prepare for a trade deadline. He has a rough 5.95 ERA but could regain interest with good performances. The Dodgers face another injury concern with Casparius experiencing calf cramping and foot issues, leading to an MRI. His potential absence could intensify the team's bullpen needs. Meanwhile, the Tigers plan to promote Troy Melton, who has performed well at the minor league level with a 2.99 ERA, to bolster their roster.
Eflin is set to return from the injured list today. He has struggled this year with a 5.95 ERA in 12 starts. A strong performance could attract trade interest.
Ben Casparius is scheduled to undergo an MRI today after experiencing calf cramping and foot issues during his outing. His absence would strain the Dodgers' bullpen.
The Tigers will select the contract of Troy Melton today. Melton holds a 2.99 ERA across 75 1/3 innings at the Double- and Triple-A levels.
