  • Giants recall Landen Roupp from Triple-A
    Giants recalled RHP Landen Roupp from Triple-A sacramento.

    Advice: Roupp is back and could be inline for work as a bulk option for the Giants with Spencer Bivens starting Sunday’s contest against the Dodgers. The right-hander has a 5.27 ERA in his 13 2/3 innings with San Francisco prior to being demoted at the beginning of May. Spencer Howard was designated for assignment to make room on the roster.

  • Mets select contract of Matt Festa from Syracuse
    Mets selected the contract of RHP Matt Festa from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Festa linked on with the Mets in May on a minor-league deal, and he’ll now have a chance to make his season debut. The right-hander will be a middle-inning option while he’s with the club. Tylor Megill was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse to make room on the roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:54 am
     
  • Joins big club
    The Mets selected Festa's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

  • Notches 12th save
    Scott struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 12th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Phillies.

    Advice: The southpaw delivered his eighth straight scoreless appearance on 12 pitches (eight strikes), and Scott has racked up four saves in four trips to the mound over the last week. The 29-year-old closer has put his shaky start to 2024 firmly behind him, and he sports a 1.50 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 38:23 K:BB through 36 innings while converting 12 of 14 save chances.

  • Set to start bullpen game
    Dubin will start Sunday against the Mets in what's expected to be a bullpen day for the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Dubin hasn't covered more than three innings in any of his appearances in the majors and minors this season, so that likely represents the upper bound of his workload as he takes the hill for what will be his second MLB career start. The Astros don't have an obvious candidate to work in bulk relief behind Dubin, but the team could call up a pitcher from Triple-A Sugar Land ahead of Sunday's contest to provide the bullpen with another fresh arm.

  • Tanner Scott locks down 12th save vs. Phillies
    Tanner Scott tossed a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts to earn the save against the Phillies on Saturday.

    Advice: Scott was summoned in the ninth inning to close out the game with a one-run lead. He shut the door quickly on the Phillies, striking out two batters in a perfect frame for his 12th save of the season. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:49 pm
     
  • Contract selected
    The Brewers selected Zastryzny's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Zastryzny has spent all season with Nashville after signing a minor-league deal with Milwaukee during the offseason, putting up a 3.18 ERA and 0.93 WHIP alongside a 38:8 K:BB through 28.1 innings. The 32-year-old southpaw will now join the Brewers to replace Jared Koenig (forearm), who landed on the injured list, and Zastryzny will presumably work in middle relief during his stint with Milwaukee. Chris Roller was designated for assignment in order to open up a 40-man roster spot. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:15 am
     
  • Brewers add Rob Zastryzny to bullpen on Saturday
    Brewers selected the contract of LHP Rob Zastryzny from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Zastryzny continues his tour of the NL Central by joining Milwaukee’s bullpen mix ahead of Saturday’s game against the Cubs with fellow southpaw Jared Koenig headed to the injured list due to left forearm tendinitis. The 32-year-old journeyman lefty has made 45 appearances (two starts) in the big leagues dating back to 2016. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:10 am
     
  • Gets fifth win Friday
    Stanek (5-1) got the extra-inning win over the Twins on Friday, firing a perfect 10th inning.

    Advice: Stanek followed Andres Munoz after the latter had fired a perfect ninth frame, and the former was able to match his high-leverage mate in caliber of performance while also earning the win. Stanek needed just nine pitches, six which he located for strikes, to get through his inning, setting down Max Kepler, Manuel Margot and Christian Vazquez in order. The veteran right-hander's pristine effort was an extension of his recent run of excellence, one that's seen him pitch 8.2 consecutive scoreless innings during which he's generated an 11:1 K:BB, two wins, two holds and three saves across 10 appearances.
