  • Sent to minors
    The Dodgers optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Advice: Nick Ramirez has given up one earned run over four innings since being recalled from Triple-A last Saturday, but he will head back to the minors as the Dodgers opt to bring in a fresh arm in Nabil Crismatt. Ramirez owns a 1.29 ERA across seven MLB innings this year and figures to be back with the Dodgers at some point in the near future. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Selected from OKC
    The Dodgers selected Crismatt's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Advice: Crismatt was designated for assignment after throwing two scoreless innings against the Cardinals in late March, and he'll now return to Los Angeles to give the Dodgers a fresh bullpen arm capable of pitching multiple innings. Nick Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A to clear space on the active roster, and Kyle Hurt (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Lands on minor-league IL
    Whitley was placed on the minor-league injured list Saturday with right elbow discomfort, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Whitley made his major-league debut with the Astros on April 16, allowing one hit and one walk but no runs over two-thirds of an inning against Atlanta. He was sent back to Triple-A Sugar Land after that outing, and he has thrown two scoreless innings while striking out four over his last two appearances in the minors.

  • Taken off IL
    The Astros removed Valdez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Saturday, per the MLB transaction log.

    Advice: Valdez is set to start in Sunday's game against the Rockies as part of a two-game series in Mexico City. The 30-year-old southpaw landed on the Astros' 15-day IL on April 9 due to left elbow inflammation. Valdez threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, and he will likely be on a pitch count over his first few outings. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Back in lineup
    Jones (back) is starting in left field Saturday against the Astros.

    Advice: Back stiffness caused Jones to exit Tuesday's game early and has kept him sidelined for the Rockies' last two games. Now seemingly healthy, the 25-year-old will look to turn things around at the dish after starting the year with a .469 OPS through 96 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Returns to lineup Saturday
    Senzel (illness) will serve as the Nationals' designated hitter Saturday against the Marlins.

    Advice: A stomach illness has kept Senzel from playing in Washington's last two games, but the issue appears to have subsided prior to Saturday's contest. The 28-year-old is slashing .200/.259/.440 with two homers across 27 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Starting Saturday as 27th man
    The Astros appointed Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land to be the 27th man for the two-game series against the Rockies in Mexico City, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Advice: Houston was given permission to add a 27th man for its two-game series in Mexico City. The Astros opted to call up Cabbage, who will start in left field Saturday and bat seventh against Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill. Cabbage played 22 games in the majors last season with the Angels, slashing .208/.321/.553 with three doubles, one stolen base, one home run and seven RBI over 56 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Jones in lineup for Mexico City opener
    Nolan Jones (back) has returned to the lineup for Saturday’s Mexico City series opener against the Astros.

    Advice: Jones is back in left field and batting seventh for Saturday’s showdown in Mexico City’s high-octane offensive environment after sitting out a pair of contests earlier this week due to back stiffness. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled at the outset of the year, but showed he can be an impact five-category fantasy contributor during last year’s breakout campaign. It’s too early to consider cutting bait, despite his ongoing struggles at the dish. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago

  • Resting versus lefty
    Sanchez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sanchez will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the left-handed Mitchell Parker set to start on the bump for the Nats. Avisail Garcia will cover right field instead while batting fifth. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
