  • Back in majors
    The Cardinals recalled Leahy from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

    Advice: The right-hander served as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader and will quickly rejoin the major-league roster as Steven Matz (back) heads to the injured list. Leahy has made four appearances over the past two years with the Cardinals and has given up six runs over three innings. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Lands on IL with lower-back strain
    The Cardinals placed Matz on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 1, with a lower-back strain.

    Advice: Matz attempted to pitch through back soreness in his last start Tuesday in Detroit, but it didn't go well and an MRI has revealed a strain. It's not clear at this point how long he might be on the shelf. The Cards haven't revealed who will take Matz's spot in the rotation, but his next turn would be Tuesday and Sem Robberse would be on regular rest that day. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago

  • Cardinals recall Kyle Leahy from Triple-A
    Cardinals recalled RHP Kyle Leahy from Triple-A Memphis.

  • Cardinals place Steven Matz (back) on 15-day IL
    Cardinals placed LHP Steven Matz on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 1, with a lower back strain.

    Advice: The 32-year-old will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks as he heals from a lower back injury. Matz pitched earlier this week and tried to push through the pain, but it appears it’s too much for him to continue without proper treatment and recovery. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Twins recalled Alcala from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: He's taking the roster and bullpen spot vacated by Caleb Boushley, who was sent back to St. Paul on Thursday. Alcala never deserved to be optioned in the first place, as he has given up just one unearned run on three hits through six appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:37 am
     
  • Cleared to resume throwing
    Smyly (hip) has been cleared to begin playing catch, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Smyly hasn't pitched in nearly two weeks because of a right hip impingement but is ready to begin ramping things back up. The left-hander seems likely to require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Cubs' bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am
