  • Coulds see save chances
    Hudson is the likely favorite for save opportunities after Dodgers closer Evan Phillips (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

    Advice: Hudson has been working in a setup role in the early stages of the season, putting him in prime position to fill in at closer for the Dodgers. The right-hander has seven holds and a save with a 3.60 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB over 15 innings this year. Phillips' injury was diagnosed as a Grade 1 strain, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, so a return after the 15-day minimum is possible. Rotowire.com Today, 11:35 am
     
  • Ryan Pepiot leaves Sunday after being hit in leg
    Ryan Pepiot left Sunday’s start against the Mets with an apparent injury.

    Advice: Pepiot took a liner off his leg on a ball that was hit 107 mph. The right-hander threw after and tried to stay in, but Rays manager Kevin Cash wouldn’t allow it. Pepiot will likely undergo imaging, and his status for his start next week should be updated shortly after. Manuel Rodriguez has taken over on the mound. Rotoworld Today, 11:31 am

  • Dodgers activate Blake Treinen (lung) off IL
    Dodgers activated RHP Blake Treinen off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Treinen is back as anticipated, which is good news. The bad news is the right-hander returns while Evan Phillips is placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain. Now that Treinen is back in the fold, he could see save chances in the coming weeks with Phillips unavailable. Rotoworld Today, 11:03 am
     
  • Out with hamstring strain
    The Dodgers placed Phillips on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right hamstring strain, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Advice: The right-hander presumably suffered the injury during Friday's appearance against Atlanta, when he struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning amid a 2-2 tie. Manager Dave Roberts said Phillips' injury is a Grade 1 strain, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, so the absence may not be a lengthy one. Daniel Hudson is the likely favorite to fill in at closer for the Dodgers. Rotowire.com Today, 11:00 am
     
  • Dodgers place Phillips on IL with hamstring injury
    Dodgers placed RHP Evan Phillips on the 15-day injured list with a hamstring strain.

    Advice: This is a substantial loss to the Dodgers’ bullpen and for fantasy managers who roster Phillips. The right-hander will be out of action for at least two weeks, and managers will want to make sure to follow for further updates on his status. Blake Treinen was activated off the injured list in the corresponding transaction, and he’s someone who could see save chances with Phillips out. Rotoworld Today, 10:59 am
     
  • Will pitch Sunday
    Jansen, who hasn't pitched the last six days, will be used in Sunday's game against the Twins, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: The Red Sox have a day off Monday and will prevent Jansen from the absence extending any further, so the closer is expected to pitch one way or another. He's pitched just once over the last nine days. Rotowire.com Today, 10:37 am
     
  • Diamondbacks option Brandon Hughes to Triple-A
    Diamondbacks optioned LHP Brandon Hughes to Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Hughes was just recalled Tuesday, but the Diamondbacks need a roster spot for Ryne Nelson after Nelson was activated off the 15-day injured list. Hughes is still on the 40-man roster, so he could see another chance with the D-Backs before the end of 2024. Rotoworld Today, 10:32 am
     
  • Throws bullpen session
    Whitlock (oblique) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Whitlock emerged from the session without issue and will embark on a throwing program. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said, "it's just the beginning," when discussing the right-hander's status. Whitlock was placed on the injured list April 17 and seemingly would need at least one rehab start. Rotowire.com Today, 10:30 am
     
  • Heads back to minors
    The Blue Jays optioned Little to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

    Advice: He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to right-hander Alek Manoah (shoulder), who was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday versus the Nationals. After being called up from Triple-A on April 25, Little made three appearances out of the Toronto bullpen, giving up four earned runs over 3.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 10:00 am
