  • Returning to Triple-A
    The Rangers optioned Leiter to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    Advice: The right-hander surrendered seven runs over 3.2 frames in his major-league debut Thursday versus the Tigers and will now make his way back to Triple-A. Michael Lorenzen (neck) is poised to make his season debut this weekend to fill out the Rangers' rotation. Leiter could receive another look with the big club later in the year.

  • Justin Verlander activated for 2024 season debut
    Astros activated RHP Justin Verlander from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: The 41-year-old right-hander will officially make his 2024 season debut on Friday night against the Nationals. He did throw 77 pitches in his latest minor league rehab start at Double-A Corpus Christi, so he shouldn’t be too limited in Friday’s outing against the Nationals. Fantasy managers who have been waiting to deploy the future Hall-of-Famer can feel good about his overall chances on Friday night. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Back from concussion IL
    Megill was activated from the 7-day concussion injured list by the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: Megill has been sidelined for most of this month after suffering a concussion as a result of a fall when he fainted. He made two scoreless relief appearances on a rehab assignment and is now ready to rejoin the Brewers' relief corps. He could find himself back in the mix for saves in an unsettled bullpen.

  • Brewers activate Trevor Megill from concussion IL
    Brewers activated RHP Trevor Megill from the 7-day concussion injured list.

    Advice: The 30-year-old hurler made it through a couple of minor league rehab assignments without any issue and is ready to return to the Brewers’ bullpen. He’ll continue to fortify leads in the late innings with Abner Uribe and Joel Payamps. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Gets another start
    Cannon will start Monday in Minnesota, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Cannon had a solid major-league debut Wednesday against the Royals, tossing five innings of one-run ball. It has earned him at least one additional start in the majors, although that could be it since Mike Clevinger is due to join the White Sox before long. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Shut down for two more weeks
    Gonzales (forearm) will remain shut down for the next couple weeks, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Gonzales has been sidelined since last week with a left forearm muscle strain. He is not expected to require surgery, but between shut down for multiple weeks and then a build-up period, it sounds like it will be several weeks before he'll be an option for the Pirates again.

  • Rangers option Jack Leiter back to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Jack Leiter to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: The 23-year-old hurler made his highly-anticipated MLB debut against the Tigers on Thursday, giving up seven runs over 3 2/3 innings in a no-decision. Even with the rough first outing, it shouldn’t take Leiter long to get another look in the big league rotation. Owen White was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move to add depth to the Rangers’ bullpen for the weekend. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Rangers promote Owen White from Triple-A
    Rangers recalled RHP Owen White from Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: The Rangers needed a fresh arm to provide innings out of the bullpen over the weekend and White was one of the few healthy options remaining on their 40-man roster. He can be safely ignored for fantasy purposes. Jack Leiter was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Will make another rehab start
    Walker (shoulder) will make one more rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday before rejoining the Phillies' rotation, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Phillies had considered having Walker's next appearance be with the big club, but they've ultimately opted to give him one more tune-up. It sets Walker up for his season debut next weekend in San Diego. Spencer Turnbull has pitched well as Walker's rotation substitute but could lose his spot once Walker returns.
