    • Promotion imminent
      Priester will be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday to start against the Blue Jays, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

      Advice: Priester was sent to Triple-A on May 15 after posting a 4.33 ERA and 1.52 WHIP through his first five starts of the season. He's managed to bounce back since then, firing seven scoreless innings during his most recent Triple-A start, and he now figures to remain in the Pirates' rotation until Martin Perez (groin) is able to return from the injured list.

    • Julio Theran opts out of minors deal with Cubs
      Julio Teheran has elected free agency.

      Advice: The 33-year-old hurler chose to exercise the opt-out clause in his minor league contract with the Cubs and is once again back on the open market. Teheran made eight brutal starts at Triple-A Iowa where he posted a cringe-inducing 8.82 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and a 37/11 K/BB ratio over 32 2/3 innings of work. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
       
    • Opts out of deal
      Teheran opted out of his minor-league contract with the Cubs on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: After a brief stint with the Mets, Teheran elected free agency and signed a MiLB deal with the Cubs in April. He has since started eight games, logging an 8.82 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 32.2 innings. The 33-year-old righty will once again test his luck in the open market, though another minor-league deal is likely the most he can hope for. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
       
    • Seeking second opinion
      Middleton (forearm) will get a second opinion from a specialist Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Middleton underwent an MRI on Friday after being checked out by team doctors and it appears he may be dealing with a significant injury to his throwing arm. Season-ending surgery has yet to be ruled out, though even if he avoids surgery, Middleton could have to start over after being close to returning from the 15-day IL just days before reporting the injury. Regardless, there should be more clarity regarding Middleton's status in the coming days. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
       
    • Out through All-Star break
      Manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that Merryweather (ribs) will not return until after the All-Star break, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Merryweather has been on the IL since early April due to a rib stress fracture in his back. He's only a couple weeks into his throwing program, but the Cubs have already determined that it will take at least another month-and-a-half to get the 32-year-old reliever ready for game action. As Merryweather continues to check off boxes in his rehab process, a more exact return date should emerge. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
       
    • Could start rehab stint this week
      Matz (back) will throw a full-intensity bullpen Monday and could get sent on a minor-league rehab assignment if the bullpen session goes well, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Monday's bullpen session will be Matz's third since he hit the IL with a back injury. The southpaw has missed a full month of action and would likely need a couple of rehab starts before returning to the Cardinals' active roster. In the meantime, Andre Pallante is set to fill Matz's spot in the rotation. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

    • Called up Saturday
      Snider was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

      Advice: Snider will return to the major-league bullpen for the first time since April 8, replacing Gabe Speier (shoulder) on the 26-man roster after Speier was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Snider has appeared in three games with Seattle in 2024, surrendering two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings. Rotowire.com Today, 1:51 pm
       
    • Placed on 15-day IL
      Speier was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left rotator cuff strain Saturday, retroactive to May 30, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Speier last appeared in a game May 29, allowing one hit while striking out a batter over two-thirds of an inning against the Astros. He'll now be forced to miss at least two weeks, but considering it's his throwing shoulder, Speier may be forced to miss extended time. In a corresponding move, the Mariners called up right-hander Collin Snider from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm

    • Mariners place Gabe Speier (shoulder) on 15-day IL
      Mariners placed LHP Gabe Speier on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 30, with a left rotator cuff strain.

      Advice: It’s not immediately clear how long the Mariners think the 29-year-old southpaw will be shelved for. Speier has struggled mightily in 22 appearances out of the M’s bullpen this season, posting a 6.06 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 22/10 K/BB ratio across 16 1/3 innings of work. Collin Snider was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
