  • Andrés Muñoz available in relief this weekend
    Andrés Muñoz (back) is available for Saturday’s game against the Royals.

    Advice: Muñoz has been dealing with a back strain that he tweaked during an on-field collision earlier this week and appears ready to return this weekend after getting through a couple bullpen sessions without any issues. Rotoworld Today, 11:56 am
     
  • DFA'd by Rox
    The Rockies designated Carasiti for assignment Saturday.

    Advice: After getting lit up for five earned runs in just 1.1 innings over his last two appearances, Carasiti will be jettisoned from Colorado's active roster. He owns a 7.41 ERA and 1.89 WHIP through 58.1 career MLB innings and will likely pass through waivers unclaimed. Rotowire.com Today, 11:51 am
     
  • Rockies designate Matt Carasiti for assignment
    Rockies designated RHP Matt Carasiti for assignment.

    Advice: Carasiti has been jettisoned from Colorado’s 40-man roster after surrendering five runs over his last two relief appearances this week against the Cardinals. The 32-year-old righty reliever holds a calamitous 10.38 ERA, 2.19 WHIP and 7/3 K/BB ratio across 8 2/3 innings (seven appearances) this season in the majors. Rotoworld Today, 11:18 am
     
  • Recalled to Atlanta
    Atlanta recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

    Advice: With Jimmy Herget (shoulder) headed for the injured list, Hernandez will rejoin Atlanta's bullpen to replenish the team's bullpen depth. The 27-year-old righty appeared in two games during his first big-league stint earlier in the year, throwing two scoreless innings while striking out one batter and walking one. He boasts a 2.29 ERA in 19.2 frames at Triple-A and figures to be used in middle relief while in Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 11:16 am
     
  • Steven Matz to make rehab start Tuesday at Double-A
    Steven Matz (back) will make another minor league rehab start on Tuesday for Double-A Springfield.

    Advice: Matz struck out two over a pair of scoreless frames on Thursday in his rehab assignment debut for Triple-A Memphis and will continue building up his pitch count and stamina this upcoming week in the minors. The 33-year-old lefty has been out since mid-May recovering from a back injury. Rotoworld Today, 11:15 am

  • Placed on injured list
    Atlanta placed Herget on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to Thursday.

    Advice: Herget struck out two batters and gave up a solo home run during his most recent outing Wednesday, and he appears to have come away from the game with a shoulder injury. He'll remain sidelined until at least June 21, and Daysbel Hernandez will come up from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Herget's spot in the bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 11:12 am
     
  • Braves recall Daysbel Hernández on Saturday
    Braves recalled RHP Daysbel Hernández from Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Hernández rejoins Atlanta’s bullpen mix with Jimmy Herget (shoulder) landing on the injured list ahead of Saturday’s showdown against the Nationals. The 27-year-old righty has made a pair of relief appearances this season in the big leagues. He figures to operate in middle relief and can be safely ignored for fantasy purposes.

  • Braves place Jimmy Herget (shoulder) on IL
    Braves placed RHP Jimmy Herget on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 6, with right shoulder inflammation.

    Advice: Herget heads to the injured list after making five relief appearances for Atlanta since being called up back on May 30. No word yet on how long the 30-year-old side-winder will be sidelined. Rotoworld Today, 11:08 am
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Brewers transferred Hall (knee) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    Advice: Hall's move to the 60-day IL makes him ineligible for activation until June 20, but he wasn't likely to return until at least late June anyway. The 25-year-old lefty was recommended a platelet-rich plasma injection that would've kept him sidelined until September, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, but Hall will instead attempt to pitch through his injury and re-evaluate the damage during the offseason. His spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Elieser Hernandez, who signed a one-year deal with Milwaukee on Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am
