  • Sent down to Triple-A
    The Rays optioned Lopez to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Lopez has managed an 8.44 ERA and 2:5 K:BB over 5.1 relief innings during his time with the big club this season. The 26-year-old should go back into Durham's rotation. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
  • Sent back to minors
    The Rockies optioned Chivilli to Double-A Hartford on Monday.

    Advice: Chivilli was up with the big club over the weekend for its series in Philadelphia, but he did not make an appearance. The 21-year-old's major-league debut will have to wait for another time. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
  • Back from paternity leave
    The Rockies activated Lawrence from the paternity leave list Monday.

    Advice: Lawrence missed the Rockies' weekend series in Pittsburgh but will be back for the start of their series against the Giants which begins Tuesday. He holds a 6.00 ERA this season but does lead the club with two saves and should regain his spot atop the bullpen pecking order. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
  • Cast off 40-man roster
    The Giants designated Jefferies for assignment Monday.

    Advice: He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Mason Black, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Phillies. Jefferies has made two appearances (one start) for the Giants this season, giving up nine earned runs on 14 hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 10:09 am
  • Picks up second win Sunday
    Munoz (2-2) got the win against the Astros on Sunday, firing 1.1 perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout.

    Advice: Munoz continued what is turning into his best stretch of pitching this season, locating eight of his 11 pitches for strikes on his way to his ninth scoreless effort in the last 10 appearances, including his fifth straight. The right-hander has whittled his ERA and WHIP to 2.03 and 1.13, respectively, and he'd also recorded saves in three consecutive appearances before Sunday's victory. Rotowire.com Today, 9:40 am
  • Working as primary setup man
    Leasure allowed one hit and struck out one across a scoreless inning in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Leasure is consistently working in high-leverage roles, with each of his last four appearances coming in the eighth inning or later. He's turned in three scoreless performances in that span, though he did blow a lead April 28 by allowing two earned runs to the Twins. Leasure also hasn't been particularly dominant overall, maintaining a 9:6 K:BB in 14 innings of work for the season. Still, he has one of the White Sox's five total saves and could be the choice to close games out when Michael Kopech is used in high-leverage situations rather than being reserved for save situations.

  • Resumes long toss
    Senzatela (elbow) has been throwing from 120 feet, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's expected that Senzatela won't return to the field until 2025, but his recovery has gone well to this point. He's hoping to make rehab appearances at some point late in the summer, intending to be at full strength to begin the new campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 9:09 am
  • Expected to avoid surgery
    General manager Ben Cherington said he expects Gonzales (forearm) to pitch again this season, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Gonzales received a second opinion during the final week of April. The Pirates haven't disclosed the exact diagnosis, but Cherington said "conservative treatment" is currently the right path for Gonzales. He has yet to begin throwing and will likely be sidelined for at least the first half of the campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 8:59 am
  • Takes loss against Mariners
    Hader (1-3) allowed a solo home run and struck out one to take the loss Sunday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Hader entered the game in the ninth inning with the score tied 4-4. He retired the first batter he faced but then served up the go-ahead homer to Cal Raleigh. Hader had turned in three consecutive appearances without giving up an earned run prior to Sunday, though he's now been charged with at least one run in six of his 15 appearances.
