It was his first appearance since 2024 at the big league level. The righthander sports a 6.04 ERA across 143 career innings in the majors. He was diagnosed as having a right elbow stress reaction and will now be shelved until the end of July, at the earliest.

Oliver Dunn has been optioned to Triple-A Durham by the Tampa Bay Rays. Outfielder Austin Slater was called up and reliever Jonathan Heasley was transferred to the 60-day IL in corresponding moves. (Source: Marc Topkin on X)
Fantasy Impact: Dunn had just one hit in 11 at bats, but did score four runs in nine games with the Rays this season. He's a career .197 hitter across 157 plate appearances in parts of three seasons at the big league level. Dunn will provide infield depth in the Rays' system and would likely be one of the first players called up should the team get hit with injury bug.
