  • Notches seventh save
    Megill gave up a hit and struck out three in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his seventh save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: After blowing his first save of the season the night before, Megill bounced back and fired 11 of 14 pitches for strikes to get the job done, with five of his fastballs clocking in at 99 mph or higher. The right-hander sports a 1.98 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB through 13.2 innings this season, and with Devin Williams (back) just now beginning to toss a baseball, Megill figures to handle closing duties with Milwaukee for at least another couple months.

  • Returns from injured list
    The Yankees activated Kahnle (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Kahnle has been out all season with a right shoulder issue that dates back to last year, but he's ready to roll after fanning 11 batters over five perfect innings on a rehab assignment. The Yankees plan to be careful with his workload in initially in not using him on back-to-back days, but Kahnle will be given high-leverage innings right out of the chute.

  • Escapes with no-decision Tuesday
    Gasser came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Marlins, coughing up five runs (four earned) on 10 hits over six innings. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

    Advice: The rookie southpaw had a respectable 24 called or swinging strikes on his 80 pitches, but Gasser mostly pitched to contact and watched a number of grounders make it past the Brewers' infield defenders. He left the game in line for his first loss in the majors, but Milwaukee rallied in the eighth inning. Gasser will take a 2.65 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 6:1 K:BB through 17 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come this weekend in Boston. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Resuming rehab assignment
    Chargois (neck) has been sent to Triple-A Jacksonville to resume his rehab assignment.

    Advice: Chargois made three rehab appearances for Jacksonville last month before suffering a setback with his neck injury. He's cleared the necessary hurdles to return to game action and will be eligible for activation next week, although the reliever could need more time than that. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Side session on tap
    Manager A.J. Hinch said that Maeda (illness) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday or Thursday before the Tigers determine the right-hander's next steps, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Placed on the 15-day injured list May 11 while he battled a viral illness, Maeda appears to be close to a return after he was able to complete a three-inning rehab start with Triple-A Toledo this past Sunday. The Tigers have already decided on their starting pitchers through Friday, but if Maeda comes out of his side session no worse for the wear, he could be an option to take the hill Saturday versus the Blue Jays if Detroit wants to give Reese Olson (hip) some extra time off to recover from an injury. If the Tigers are confident in Olson's health heading into the weekend, however, Maeda could be sent out to Toledo for a second rehab start to build up his pitch count.

  • Impressive in non-save situation
    Kopech struck out the side without allowing a baserunner Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Kopech entered the game in the ninth inning and was tasked with protecting a five-run lead. He needed only 15 pitches to end the game, and he racked up seven called strikes without generating a whiff. After a shaky start to the season, Kopech now has six consecutive scoreless appearances, maintaining an 8:5 K:BB across 6.1 frames in that span. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Starting rehab assignment
    Hoeing (hamstring) has been sent to Triple-A Jacksonville to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Hoeing has been out since early May with a strained left hamstring but is ready to test things out in a game environment. Since he hasn't missed much time, his rehab assignment figures to be brief. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago

  • Continuing rehab at Single-A
    Drohan (shoulder) has been transferred to Single-A Winston-Salem to continue his rehab assignment.

    Advice: Working his way back from left shoulder nerve decompression surgery, Drohan allowed three runs with a 9:2 K:BB over 3.2 innings in three appearances with the Arizona Complex League White Sox. The Rule 5 pick will likely use all of his 30 allotted rehab days before the White Sox add him to the roster. Drohan will need to remain on Chicago's roster all season or be offered back to the Red Sox. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Set to work three innings
    Devenski (knee) is scheduled to throw three innings with Triple-A Durham in a rehab appearance Wednesday, per MLB.com.

    Advice: The Rays are planning to use Devenski as a long reliever after his activation from the injured list. He threw two frames in his most recent appearance and will now build up his length a bit more. It's unclear whether Wednesday's rehab outing will be his last, but Devenski is expected to return to the active roster by the end of May. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
