    • Christian Scott strikes out seven on Wednesday at AAA
      Mets RHP prospect Christian Scott struck out seven and allowed one run over five innings on Wednesday for Triple-A Syracuse.

      Advice: It doesn’t figure to be an extended stay back in the minors for Scott after he was shipped back to Triple-A Syracuse last week in an effort to manage his workload. The 24-year-old righty, who has established himself as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball this season, authored a dominant performance in his return to the upper minors and it’s going to be hard for New York to justify keeping him out of the big leagues for much longer if he keeps pitching like this.

    • Tigers outright Buddy Kennedy to Triple-A
      Tigers sent INF Buddy Kennedy outright to Triple-A Toledo.

      Advice: It’s a tad surprising the Tigers were able to sneak Kennedy through waivers, but he’ll presumably head back to Triple-A Toledo to wait for another opportunity at the highest level. The 25-year-old infielder has morphed into a modern-era Quad-A hitter over the last few years, putting up stellar on-base numbers at the Triple-A level, while struggling to produce at the highest level in several opportunities.

    • Pirates outright Grant Koch to Triple-A
      Pirates sent C Grant Koch outright to Triple-A Indianapolis.

      Advice: Koch was booted from Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster earlier this week and promptly went unclaimed on waivers. The 27-year-old backstop will head back to the minors as extra organizational catching depth after being designated for assignment for the first time in his career. He went 0-for-7 with six strikeouts and one walk in three games with the Pirates. Rotoworld Today, 4:11 pm
       
    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Diamondbacks optioned Hughes to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

      Advice: Hughes has given up seven earned runs in 3.2 innings over his last two big-league outings, giving him a 10.13 ERA and 2.25 WHIP on the year. In an effort to get back on track, he'll head back to Reno, where he owns a 1.83 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 19.2 frames. Joe Jacques was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

    • D-backs recall lefty Joe Jacques on Thursday
      Diamondbacks recalled LHP Joe Jacques from Triple-A Reno.

      Advice: Jacques rejoins Arizona’s bullpen ahead of Thursday’s series opener against the Padres with fellow southpaw Blake Walston hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation. The 29-year-old lefty made one relief appearance earlier this season for the Diamondbacks after being claimed off waivers from the Red Sox. He figures to stick around for an extended period.

    • D-backs put Blake Walston (elbow) on 15-day IL
      Diamondbacks placed LHP Blake Walston on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.

      Advice: Walston ascended to the majors earlier this year and has pitched well for Arizona with a 2.84 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 11/9 K/BB ratio across 12 2/3 innings (three appearances, two starts). No word yet on how long the 22-year-old lefty will be sidelined, but he figures to miss at least a couple weeks, even in a best-case scenario. Rotoworld Today, 4:00 pm
       
    • D-backs option Brandon Hughes back to Triple-A
      Diamondbacks optioned LHP Brandon Hughes to Triple-A Reno.

      Advice: Hughes heads back to the minors amid a flurry of roster moves for Arizona to re-shuffle their bullpen mix. The 28-year-old lefty has struggled this season to a disastrous 10.13 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and 11/6 K/BB ratio across 10 2/3 innings (nine appearances, two starts) in his Arizona debut.

    • D-backs activate and option Luis Frías to Triple-A
      Diamondbacks activated RHP Luis Frías from the 15-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

      Advice: Frías will remain stationed in the minors as extra organizational relief depth. The 26-year-old righty has been on the shelf since mod-April recovering from right shoulder inflammation. Rotoworld Today, 3:59 pm
       
    • Heads to 15-day IL
      Walston was placed on the 15-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

      Advice: Walston was called up to make his first MLB start May 27 and made an additional start Tuesday. He was not part of the decision in either start, but he gave up just two eared runs in 9.0 innings. However, he will be unable to make a third start soon with the apparent injury that came of Tuesday's game. The Diamondbacks selected Humberto Castellanos from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.
